now, what does rap music need to do, in order to get back to the music, in which not only the nigga and whigger, like, but crosses all boundaries and revolutionizes the WORLD, like race music of the 50's which led into the 60's etc. did well, what was the mechanism? blues, revival dance music dance music with blues/revival overtones black folk music, race music rock and roll, in the 60's, and even in heavy metal, became a blues/revivalist overtone now a Christian lamb revival, but a Nordic Thor-like revival of the spirit of courage and manhood now, where did, this reach "other" audiences besides blacks? and I ask this because a 13% minority, cannot win its battles, against an 87% majority, without bringing their message to others rap music has become a black nationalist culture, plagued with the same innuendo and allusion by which they are oppressed, the validation of dog eat dog rat race as the fabric of our civilization so, noone wants just another dog eat dog faction, when they can choose there race, tribes, clanns, heritage instead so, black heritage has to become an institution of morality and calls for JUSTICE again, and not an a continued validation of dog eat dog, that is why they are where they are at now, I am not saying that is has to dictate virtue, issues of virtue which are solely personal scope and have no part in issues of civilty (morality), can be left to FREEDOM, while there should be guidance in these regards, there should certainly be allusion to experimentation, and understanding, and realization and the expansion of conscious, THAT results in acceptance of virtue and I say this because black revival music did not solely win the war blues did, and EVERY blues song, has a revival upturn and riff to it, and the excitement of social revival, and the lifting and engagement of spirit, by freedom, is the very reason why white people embraced race music in the 50's the 60's were music of revolution, with people like Redding and pre-funk Motown, and Hendrix and Marley, and the 5th Dimension, and these people found the meaty congruency of an alliance with white folk music, music akin to Jethro Tull, and Guthrie, and Baez, and Dylan, folk music met energy, and EXPLODED so, the mechanism for energetic rap music is to find a place in white "folk", and you will find "folk" in any storytelling music reminsciencing about better past, or hoping for better future and the white folk music of today is heavy metal, and goth, and you see the melting of these arenas with rap is many places, and the formula for the 50's and 60's to happen again NOW, what killed the 60's? The 70's and the supposition that relative morality was more important the principles we believed in - "bad is good" - "I am the Lizard King, I can do anything" - anarchy - leisure to sum it up in one word YUPPIES Reagan and yuppies KILLED the yippie/hippie and if rap music keeps preaches money over principle, it will kill the RIGHTEOUS revolutionaries in their culture as well the message cannot be dog eat dog money, you lose in a money war, THEY HAVE MORE MONEY, and they have no intentions of letting you thug them out of it, they have police and armies, they are 87%, you are 13% you cannot be thugs, you have to be wise men if you are thugs, you don't hurt the leisure class types at all, they live in safe places, FAR AWAY, from you, you hurt the common working class white man, who is your comrade in the war of social justice, and every thuggery in this regard, loses you support of comrades and makes them look upon you as the problem and not the leisure class I am not saying music cannot be FUN but the overtone must be justice/revolution if you want justice revolution your overtone now, is promiscuity your message is not even dog eat dog if you were true dogs, you would sing songs of justice/revolution until you got in power instead, you are singing songs of promiscuity, that prostitute your people, to the materialist establishment, and we know who controls materialism/money so, materialism cannot be the message, because that is their game and, if you wish to be successful in promiscious music, if blacks are the only ones engaged by the music and invited to the party, then ONLY blacks will come, and you will remain an oppressed 13% minority make your music an orgy for everyone, remove the black nationalist overtone pre-fun Motown, which built black music, HAD NO NATIONALIST OVERTONE neither did Hendrix or Marley what you started doing is proclaiming your imperialism, with arrogant funk, nationalism, before you actually had power that is why you are rebellion music, and not revolution music and I am not saying that revolution is not born of discontent I am saying in order to promote a cultural expansion and successful culture, you need to once again, explain to your recruits, some tangible foundation of the culture, and black nationalism, is just another dog eat dog mentality, non-blacks have to ask if you got in power, would you just do the same things as the other dogs so, as soon as you stop calling yourselves niggas and gangstas and thuglife, and dogs, then you might aspire to rise above being a gangsta, and being a revolutionary leader of your people, like Martin Luther King Jr., or Bob Marley Bob Marley NEVER wrote a song that said "bad was good" a think you need a little more energy than reggae but you get the idea -- Average Joe see my signature line of bluejeans at Kmart (no bull) http://www.mysolution.ws communal/community/communion/commune/communism join http://www.cpusa.org TODAY and vote SHARPTON in 2004 common man's revolution merchandise - http://www.cafepress.com/joejoejoejoe
