lmfao! I gotta reply to this though I so far out of the loop. I don't know nothing bout this double agent shit, cause anybody who knows of my knows that I don't claim Okp or Afropunk. I just likes what I like. Yes I was at Black Lily's at wetlands and yes I was throwing bows at Delancy. Is that not ok? Or must I be 2 dimentional?
I was hyped to have met everybody in the "You Got Me" video when i was a youngin'. That album turned out to be one of my top 5 hip hop albums ever. (Yes, I limit it to hip hop because Billy Holiday, and Stevie wonder, Lee Morgan, Carlos Santana & The Beatles and a handfull of other people have made some fire!)
Kweli has been nothing but nice to me since the days of Foundation at Nkiru, I used to see Mos on the train but thanks to hip hop, these dude became family,like cousins. And it was ok to say hello. It still is.
But that handful of cds I used to hold so close to my person, you know the ones that got stolen and replaced... twice!?!? Yeah that handful of cds ain't a handfull no more. I'm not really felling much hip hop. Rap has run a fucking muck. I don't write ryhmes anymore, I'm not fulfilled by it. Don't get me wrong... I'll jump in a cipher if somebody in it is nice enough to get me hyped. I still rock my old shit like it's anthems... but I'm not really fucking with it like i used to.
I'm doing something else. I'm fucking with the shit that still gets me hype. I don't know big reg so whether he approves or disapproves ain't my concern. He's not my authority. Fact is... As much as I like the music Lauryn, Erykah, and Jill make... I'm not ready to do that. I still got a couple "act the fuck up" years in me and that's what I'm gonna do.
I'd be nice if afro-punks and OKPs could find a common ground cause really... you mo'fuckers is alot more alike then you want to lead on. Ya'll are trying to get your artform back from the rappers and they are trying to get theri artfrom back from the crackers. That's the same thing aint it?
