The Disappearance of the MAN

2012-01-16T07:23:00.000-08:00

While sitting here browsing bullshit on the net, in the background the TV show the Doctors is playing. I hear them asking a great question, one that made me snap to attention and the question was, "Are men becoming less Manly?" I said to myself well well well. Because riding home listening to Sirius Radio the song by Brothers United was playing, you know the one...You Will Know, with Aaron Hall, R-Kelly, Gerald Levert etc, dudes with strong manly voices. I looked at Tracee and was like what happened to dudes sounding like men singing, I thought about the Dream, T-Pain (whom often need help by Autotune) Frank Ocean, the Weeknd, Drake all of these dudes although some of it is jammin, sound like some broads singing. Gone are the days of men, and I fear long gone...smh!

Well getting back on topic, I live in Atlanta, and although I love it, there is a rampant rage of Flambogeny going on down here.

Definition of Flambogeny : (adjective) FLAM.bah.jin.Nee - Lenny lightfootedness, sissified behavior, un manliness, Homo no homo Homo actions and guys who look like and personify girls.

Young dudes walkin around lookin flimsey, with extra tight clothes on, man purses, make up, and high heels...redbottoms no less. I must make a brief disclaimer, i am not a homophobe, if thats your thang then its your thang, but it is out of hand. When LIL Wayne can rock Jeggins and get away without any side glances and its okay..then i got a problem..LOL I wont become preachy here, just observe and add on in the comments what you feel if you see the decline in manliness. I blame all of the estrogen being pumped into chicken...if you don't believe this theory look it up..anyway, I am about to go start a pickup get busted football league in my neighborhood, to stem the bleeding, and create some new manly men to carry on our bloodlines.

O.N.E

Hang in there with me I will be dropping all kinds of dopeness on you all year long, tell a friend to tell a friend to drop by and check me out, hopefully I can keep up with your interests and attention spans. Leave a comment, hit my like page on facebook and add some insight, I welcome it and I also welcome you....because I once saw forever and I aim to recapture those visions and share them with you!

Change we can believe in...

2011-08-13T06:17:00.000-07:00

In the 90's we met about the impending New World Order orchestrated by nefarious secret societies, with such topics as pagan symbolism permeating the media and influencing the youth, big brother tracking systems being common play in monitoring your every move, the fall of the world economy to make way for a one currency cashless society, microchip/barcode implants used to replace currency keeping track of your everyday actions and controlling your money....and it all will be readily accepted by the masses and will become common practice and application. People treated such knowledge like the Y2K fluke after a while, yet some of us maintained an acute overstanding of dangerous things to come.

I just saw on CNN yesterday a story about micro chip implants saying "welcome to the future" gotta find that video. (i may post it later)

I have never been a huge conspiracy buff and I don't buy into every kooky theory floating around on YouTube, but the changes that we are going through currently in this society should lead most to question, really whats going on around here? I just wanna touch on a few observations...

Symbolism and Pagan Idol Worship = rap music's sick new fascination with the occult imagery for example Tyler the Creator and Odd Future, Jay z and Kanye, Lil Wayne and Young Money very influential "artists" that unfortunately have the undivided attention of the youth. I don't believe that rappers are in the Illuminati and all of that stuff but I Do believe in puppetry. Many of these guys are anti spirituality, ultra materialistic and misogynistic and anything but innocent of leading the youth right over a cliff into a deaf, dumb and blind situation. Those are just a few blatant examples, the mainstream media pumps fear and despair on the daily basis, try cutting off the t.v and Internet for a few days a week and detox, then see how you feel and view life afterwards.

Big Brother Tracking Systems: Cellphones/Smart phones, Google, Twitter, facebook, GPS, traffic cameras, full body scans, facial recognition software, tablets....you name it and its is not being used on your behalf and for your benefit

The fall of the worlds economy is upon us the decline in the US credit rating, the Japanese markets shake rattle and roll, the European Union virtually bankrupt, the rise of the Chinese Yen, staggering unemployment and the shrinking of the middle class here in America.. the one currency society is well upon us and guess what, we will accept it and agree to it... Just like we accepted the rise of the "Tea Party" and put many of them into power. BE Observant.

and now micro chips..LOL well for those who don't already have atm cards that handle all of your "monetary" transactions and "smart phones" that keep track of your every physical movement...you have chips that will become mandatory and will make you in essence into a systematic full time SLAVE..

I dunno, I guess I am just being highly observant but being a father and seeing the pitfalls got me being a bit more vigilant then I had been in my youth attending the NWO order meetings in college...Knowledge is the foundation and awareness is equal to wisdom..the activation of knowledge just be more observant and try not to give away everything..FREEDOM IS THE MISSION

The Hurt that Hip Hop Produced (part One)

2011-06-28T15:57:00.000-07:00

Quick Rant (please excuse me in advance)

Here is a dose of truth READY SET GEAUX!

The rap clown character known and Baby Birdman Williams thoroughly disgust me to no end, not just because he is a sorry excuse for a rapper, with some of the lamest one dimensional rhymes ever to pollute the airways, not because he kisses his sissy step son Lil Wayne in the mouth and nope not even because of his wack ass tattoo stars on his head lookin like a fuckin pin ball bouncer. It's because of the image of excess he flaunts in front of his own devastated yet recovering flood ravaged community of New Orleans. This kneegrow had to audacity to bet a million dollars on the Super Bowl and with his winnings, went out and bought a 2 million dollar Maybach Lauderjet in addition to the 1.5 million dollar Bugatti purchased last year. Hey who am I to tell another what they may and may not buy with their money, but I really think its a sad thing to blow that kind of dough on material bullshit, while the place that supported you, don't even have functional schools with good supplies for the next generation of youth to capitalize upon. I know that he's not the savior of New Orleans, but he does OWE a great debit to New Orleans, the image that he's guilty of is poisioning the youth with visions of extreme excess spending, flaunting his lavish lifestyle in the face of the impoverished and being over 40 years old promoting a gang lifestyle. I think he's a fuckin loser straight up, I never wish ill on any one, but this muthafucker can fall off the face of the earth and take the whole CMBYMC with him!

John Legend and The Roots have certainly kept fans in the loop with the making of their collabo album, Wake Up! Today, we get some more great in-studio performance footage, this time for their remake of Donny Hathaway's classic song "Little Ghetto Boy." This cover features a verse from Black Thought (and a dope one at that). For me, this song is one of those timeless hits that I thought I'd never want to hear from anyone but Donny. However, this Legend and Rootsified version is pretty fresh. Wake Up! will be in stores September 21st.

RIP Gary the Diaperman Shider of P-Funk Badass Guitar Player!

2010-06-19T09:49:00.000-07:00

The man behind "One Nation Under A Groove" is gone. Gary Shider was a guitarist and the musical director for Parliament Funkadelic from the band's heyday until just before his death on Wednesday.

Shider was known for wearing an oversize loincloth onstage with George Clinton. Thus, the handle "Diaperman." He was also called "Starchild." But Shider was a serious guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. He co-wrote other classics, including "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication" and "Unfunky UFO."

Shider met Clinton at a barber shop in Plainfield, N.J., more than 30 years ago. Their hometown paper paid tribute this way: "He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Linda, and mourned by the city of Plainfield and wherever the language of funk is spoken." Shider had been diagnosed with cancer in March. He was 56 years old.

Solars Baby Mamma Speaks on Guru and Solar "relationship"

2010-04-30T10:55:00.000-07:00

Tasha Denham was an employee of Guru & Solar’s 7 Grand Records label as well as the mother of one of Solar’s children.

In an exclusive (and lengthy!) interview with Hip Hop DX, she sheds quite a bit of light on the violent, controlling nature of Guru & Solar’s partnership.

DX: As a close associate, an employee, all these things. When was the first time you started to notice that things were not normal or healthy?
Tasha Denham: [Pauses] I think it came pretty early on, really. One of the defining moments to me when I knew something was…it was the way Solar spoke to Guru. It was always down to him. He really belittled him, and would do it in front of other people. This wasn’t something he just did in private. He is a member of The [Five Percent] Nation of Gods and Earths, as is Guru. He would use that against him, to bring him down. It was important to both of them, very important. I believe Guru’s a pleaser; he liked to make people happy. [Solar] would tell him that the Nation of Gods and Earths are ashamed of him, they’re disappointed in him. That he doesn’t live up to their teachings… There was a lot of times they’d get into arguments over it. He’d sit, and Guru would try to defend himself, and Solar would just get more and more irate over it.
There was one night we were at Guru’s house. I was about three months pregnant at the time. Guru kept defending himself. Guru actually stood up and kind of got in Solar’s face about it. Next thing I know, Solar punched him in the face. From that point in time, he just started kicking him and hitting him. Guru was fighting back, he wasn’t just sitting there being a punk, but at the same time, Guru had severe asthma. He didn’t have his inhaler. He started really hyper-ventilating and really having a hard time, and Solar kept beating him. It wasn’t a fight anymore, it was beating him. I felt that it was so bad that I got in between the two of them and broke it up, because I knew he wouldn’t hit me of course. At that point in time, I was pregnant with his child.
Instead of stopping and making sure his partner, friend, “brother” – as he calls him was okay, Guru was sitting there saying, “I’m having an asthma attack. I need to go to the hospital. I think I’m gonna have a heart attack.” He’s bleeding, really shaking. Instead of stopping and calming himself down, [Solar] told me, “We’re leaving,” and goes and gets in the car and drives me back to the city. [He] didn’t call and check on Guru, didn’t make sure he was alright. That’s probably one of the first times I was like, “Wow, this relationship is really unhealthy. It’s a really sick relationship.” After that, if I didn’t physically see it myself…I saw [Guru] punched in the face numerous times with no provocation. It [would just be] that he’d get upset with something Guru would say and punch him in the face. I know he knocked a tooth out of Guru’s. I know he gave him a black eye [so Guru would] have to wear glasses for photo-shoots and concerts. To listen to [Solar] talk to [Guru], you’d think he was talking to a child sometimes. Guru would tell me how bad that hurt him. He’d say, “Back when we were just friends, he never would have spoken to me this way. He always treated me with respect. Now that we’re doing this record label, he has no respect. He treats me this way.” There was a fear in him. Solar had distanced him from everything in his life: his family, his ex-partner, the whole Gang Starr Foundation and the music industry, really, as a whole. Guru spent a lot of time alone. A lot of time, if he wasn’t with Solar, he was by himself. It was his son or Solar.

Get Ready For It: Reflection Eternal Revolutions Per Minute

2010-04-01T16:10:00.000-07:00

Be back later with the official tracklisting for Revolutions Per Minute - notable features include Estelle, Bilal, Bun B, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, J. Cole, Res, and Chester French. Kweli explains the album-title as two-fold: "It’s the idea of revolution through music. It’s the idea that people in today’s culture take things in YouTube-sized bites and clips and if it’s not in a clip or a soundbite or something that you can fit in under a minute, people don’t pay attention to it. The idea is: How many revolutions can you get accomplished in under a minute in a quick culture?”

Breaking: Malcolm X's Killer Paroled, is a Free Man Next Month

2010-03-19T18:40:00.001-07:00

Thomas Hagan, the only man who ever admitted involvement in the

assassination of Malcolm X, will be getting out of jail next month. Hagan was granted parole on March 3rd and is scheduled to be released on April 28th.

Hagan was convicted of shooting the civil rights leader, along with Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson. Both Johnson and Butler consisten

tly maintained their innocence and provided alibis for the afternoon Malcolm was killed on the stage of the Audubon Ballroom, on Broadway and 165th Street, on February 21, 1965.

Hagan later signed af

fidavits saying that Johnson and Butler were innocent, and that he killed Malcolm X with two other men whom he only knew by first names. Hagan was the only one of the assassins who was caught at the scene of the crime.

Hagan is currently incarcerated at the Lincoln Correctional Facility on 110th Street. As of this writing, a spokesperson for the parole board was not available to comment.

[With reporting and text by Hunter Walker. Walker is currently working on a masters project about Malcolm X for Columbia Journalism School.]

Amina is Like the Breath to my Life

2010-01-31T12:01:00.000-08:00

She was an unexpected Joy, born during confusion and turmoil, change and transition, the ebb and flow of the life that took me and her mother to places not yet explored. Amina brought the balance to the force, she was the light at the end of the tunnel. She is the strength and the glue that held together my sanity. The resilient one, destined to be here...and we knew it from the start. She is 4 years old with a keen since of self for someone so tiny, I often stand in admiration of her cool little demeanor, sharp as a tack and witty as a scholar. She is often favored by many due to her loving spirit, like Uncle Ruckus say's a true joy to be around. Keep growing little one, the sun is shining on you!

Love Dad

Icky = Inspirational

2010-01-07T18:47:00.000-08:00

2010 is bringing plenty of Surprises, my nephew Icky is making some very powerful moves in his life, and thus doing so, has given me a burst of inspiration to keep pushing on my end. Dude is back in school taking culinary arts WHAT!? I mean for anybody that know him, who wouldah saw this coming? Icky, the Young Flashy Fly Hustlin Ladies man is making some monumental life changes right now and he need to be recognized and celebrated. We have had alot of personal talks about change, ticking time and taking advantage of opportunities, and it seems like someone was serious and seriously listening. I can't take any credit for this brother making such an unexpected and dramatic move, but i hope that in some way, our convo's may have lead to this monumental mental shift. Aint nothin better than a man with a plan. Do that shit my brother, i wanna see you on Iron Chef America in a few years i know u got it in you...the sky is truly the limit.

I am proud of You

love you man

Uncle Mayne
