Sounds Like
Sounds like Chicken and taste like hip hop music.. Focusing on the sound draws us away from what we do. Want to know what we sound like? Okay let me put in the context of a story that was once told to me. One day the Buddha was giving a lesson to his followers and one of them asked him, "How does one achieve the Buddha nature?" After pondering the question a minute, Syakyamuni (The Buddha) picked up a flower from the ground and held it by a petal between his thumb and his index finger. He then looked at his student and smiled.... Thats what we sound like....
Underground Hip Hop is like water... it flows in places men REJECT!! check it... There was a group of people who called themselves the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove". They called themselves this because they would always convene at a bamboo grove just outside of their village. They focused on inner cultivation. They would sit around, read Taoist scriptures (no doubt that of Chuang Tzu), get drunk, and write spontaneous poetry. One of the Seven Sages would always walk around town with no pants on chanting and reciting poetry to anyone who would hear. One day, three Confucian scholars came knocking at his door. He answered, with no pants, and they asked him; "Why is it you never wear any pants? You walk around all day wearing no pants and it offends people. Tell us why it is you do this?" He looked away for a minute, and then said; "This whole universe is so vast. The entire universe is my home, and this house... this house is my trousers.. What are you doing in my trousers?!!"
Quotes:
"With out the mind the body weight don't even mean nothing, lets take three brothas and put them in the bing or something. Who's gonna survive; the wise man, the fool, or the warrior, well if all of they minds are chiseled then all of them" - Nas
"So that, in effect, religion, which should most distiguish us from beasts, and ought most peculiarly to elevate us, as rational creatures, above brutes, is that wherein men often appear most irrational and mere senseless than beasts themselves" -John Locke
"The people can be lied to forever, but they do not have to believe forever"
-Ghandi
"Money? What money? I keep my money in a bank"
"El Banco"
-Hector Guzman and his henchman in Deep Cover
"Part of my love of Hip Hop has to do with the fact that I have no alligence to it..."
-Saul Williams
"Love is the balm that will heal the world"
-QueenGodis
"Heaven above, heaven below; Stars above, stars below; All that is over, under shall show. Happy thou who the riddle readest"

The entire song "Clan in the Front"

-EL-P
"TRAVEL (I urge everyone to get the f*ck out of the western world as often as possible--it does wonders to the spirit and to the soul). Film, Music, Art used to promote social consciousness and social change... Combatting Neo-Colonialism, Imperialism, Zionism, Psychological Colonization and Enslavement...Combatting the hypocrisy and colonialism that exists even amongst so called white "liberals" who are tyring to colonize the activism movement--SELF DETERMINATION IS A MUST--white folks can help but don't try to monopolize our struggles and movements... Helping to bring to the masses the amazing work of artists from all over the world (writers, painters, musicians, filmmakers, etc.) so that OUR stories get the circulation and exposure and respect they deserve..." - DragonLion- And Still I Rise

I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!
