SAADIQ is P.ersonal I.ndependence M.eans P.ower™

Music Player

Interests

General
Independent, Anti-Republican, Neocon-Killa, opposing the domination of the power structure by big business here in the U.S. and throughout the world, ESPECIALLY CORPORATE EXPLOITATION OF HIP-HOP!...bringing together of diverse cultures and disadvantaged and oppressed people everywhere to make a difference locally and throughout the world. Grabbing as much personal and group power as possible because power only responds to power. But hey don't be fooled, I like to party too and enjoying good times with positive people is a must because all humans need that for balance in their lives. I keep my eyes on the streets because the streets keep its eyes on me for real. Righteousness ain't soft, feel me!

HIP HOP IS WHERE
INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL POWER
MEET COLLECTIVE FREEDOM AND COLLECTIVE POWER.

HIP HOP IS A NATURAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ORGANIZING FORCE. HIP-HOP KNOWLEDGE & HISTORY HAVE BEEN HIJACKED SO YOU WILL BE OBEDIENT. WHEN OTHER "ARTISTS" ARE SCARED OF THE TRUTH HIP-HOP NEVER STOPS SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER!

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT ALONE!!
YOU MAY IMITATE US BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE US...

HIP HOP...ACTIVIST...HIPHOP ACTIVIST...Activism and Civil Rights is my daily operation...I've made moves from Seattle to L.A. to Texas and now i'm back to CA ALL DAY!! in the Town, Oakland, CA for those that don't know-- just making allies spreading truth...I recently hosted a DOPE HipHop radio show(but I'm NOT INDUSTRY.."Strictly Underground Funk, keep the crossover!" - EPMD) but we're about to flip it for the '08 so stay tuned...I LOVE the culture called Hip-Hop it's what I grew up in and it's what I represent everyday but I also like bebop, dancehall, funk, blues and turntabilism...I'm a b-boy from back in the day so yeah I love to boogie.. it's an expression of the soul and you know i got soul! (shouts to james brown/eric b. & rakim) I'm deep like Tupac so shoot me a line if you want to talk politics, music, or life in general.

Yes!! Congrats!! I was so agitated most of this whole year, first w/ Hillary then McPalin.. OY! So for it to be over is both a relief and well, strange!

But I'm SOOO undeniably stoked, no doubt.
I think I will watch the festivities from here, but I'll be there in spirit :)

What a journey....

I am so sorry that was written wrong..it was meant to mean the misinformation..but when i re-read it...i see how it doesn't necessarily read properly so i fixed it up...if you read the full bulletin..the focus is the white bias, and the lack of racial justice...prop 8 has brought to the surface...
