Our "Flaws" Exist To Reveal Our Perfection.

Why do We Regularly Anger, Frustrate, Sadden, and Disappoint each other and Ourselves.

Darkness Reveals Light and Light exposes Darkness.

basically we are teaching ourselves to improve in the areas of Patience, Understanding and Love / Charity. 

And / Or, depending on how you choose to see it, we are reminding ourselves of our infinite capacity for Patience, Understanding and Love / Charity.

Be Patient With, Understand and Love Yourself. "There are no mistakes. Only choices that we do not yet understand." - Kalik Scientific

Everything is Here & Now. Be Love

Everything Is A Question of Perception:

"A very old Chinese Taoist story describes a farmer in a poor country village.

He was considered very well-to-do, because he owned a horse which he used for plowing and for transportation. 

One day his horse ran away. 

All his neighbors exclaimed how terrible this was, but the farmer simply said ‘Maybe’. 

"A few days later the horse returned and brought two wild horses with it.

The neighbors all rejoiced at his good fortune, but the farmer just said ‘Maybe’.

"The next day the farmer’s son tried to ride one of the wild horses; the horse threw him and broke the leg.

The neighbors all offered their sympathy for his misfortune, but the farmer again said ‘Maybe’.

The next week the conscription officers came to the village to take young men for the army. They rejected the farmer’s son because of his broken leg. When the neighbors told him how lucky he was, the farmer replied, ‘Maybe’."

Rapid Thoughts on Music, Time Spaces, Colour Codes, Knowledge

Hip Hop is An Aging Kulture. in other words, no one can be too old for Hip Hop unless they were Alive Previously to or ignorant of the Forming of the Kulture. Those of us who grew Up With and still Respect the Foundations of (The Original) Hip Hop Kulture can never be too old or even outdated.

A person Can however Be too Young for Hip Hop. in the same way that a person who predates Hip Hop Kulture can be too old. The Youth Kulture of the Day is Pop.

That said, Your Age is Little to No Indication of How Hiphop you are. Your Claim to Hip Hop is Based On your Knowledge of it and the Level of Respect you Hold for the Ones by Which that Knowledge Came to You.

for a Young Person Today to be Down With Hip Hop, they must be willing to study tha Past and Learn from their Elders. It Is Not Possible to ONLY Have Knowledge of Todays Rappers and Be Down With Hip Hop. in that case you are a Rap Fan Only. Not a Hiphoppa.
note: there are many old Rap Fans as well. many rap fans never matured into Hiphoppas

Hip Hop is has and may Always be an Underground Movement/Sub Culture because Hip Hop takes a strong stance, and A Majority of People have never in earths History taken the same strong stance together on anything.

Rap is Mainstream, Hip Hop is not.

The Foundations of Hip Hop as We (Those who were/are there) Know it, Happened in a Certain Space and time. to Truly Represent Hip Hop, one must have lived in that space and time and also currently have respect for what took up that space and time.

Note: Everything is Now. so to live in a Certain Space And Time, you must simply be Focused on that space and time.

As far as "black music" goes...

Hip Hop is a Black Kulture if one sees Black as a mindstate.  The Black mindstate being that of the oppressed but determined to rise personality.

In the Beginning of Hip Hop Kulture, Rap was closely related to Black/Hiphop Kulture and was indeed a Part of Hiphip/Black Kulture. Rap is still Such. but Rap is also Now Anything But Hiphop/Black. It Depends On Which Rap you are listening to.

Because of KRS-One -The first one to say it and explain the statement- it is now popular to make the statement, "I Am Hip Hop". Any One is free to make this claim. the catch is, in the tradition of Hip Hop, One should expect to be tested on any claims they make. When Tested one must be able to "Show and Prove" on a consistant basis among the previously established holders of that claim. The Funny Thing is That You now have people who Claim to Be Hip Hop and Who also disrespect KRS-One at the same time. if you don't know where your words and style originated. than you look like an idiot to people that do know. Contrary to what the media would have you beleive, There Are still Alot of Us That KNOW, And not only that, We Have Children That have-been/are-being Taught by US

Hip Hop has Always Been made up of at least 9 elements. previously only 4 or 5 where recognized at One Time. The Most Important and Most Overlooked Element of these Nine is KNOWLEDGE, without Knowledge One can not practice anything at all with any degree of skill. That includes the other 8 or more elements of Hip Hop Kulture Including Emceeing/Rap.

If you do not KNOW what you are doing, you are NOT Doing Tha Thing, You Are Abusing Tha Thing That you Claim to be Doing. (Paraphrasing Buckshot)

It Is A Permanent LAW of Nature and Supernature (Supernature is Nature that has yet to be under and overstood and/or excepted by mainstream concepts of nature) That Abuse Will Always Be Corrected. 

A Young Practioner or Fan of Jazz has ultimate Respect for the original Jazz musicians

the Same with Blues, Gospel, Classical, pretty much all styles of music except for Rap. because of this many young and even lost Old Rappers are making only Rap Music while many people mistakenly believe them to be Making Hip Hop music.

A Similiar thing Happened To Rock n Roll Music, But over a much shorter time period and with verying nuances. This is due i believe  to the limited (compared to Hip Hop kultures Time and Space) flow of information between People.

As Usual i didn't Write Everything that was/is in my head when i was prompted to write this. But We have Come to the point Where i Feel you The Reader may Start Feeling Fatigued. so My Thoughts Will Be Continued and possibly Revised and/or expanded upon in the Comment Section if Any One Cares To Commnet and/or Turn this into a Dialouge or Polougue

I AM HIP HOP.

Check out my latest Work on Google by Searching for "A.M. & JAH Rhythm"

Voice Of The Streets

This post could have many titles. "Tha Hate that Love Wrought", "How About Some Hardcore", "Tha Rawness", etc.
I chose the title i did because that's what Johnny Bass is in Sweden. If you wanna know what A Hardcore Hiphoppa in sweden is thinking. all you have to do is pick up one of any number of albums that Johnny Bass has recorded over the years. You will probably have to contact Johnny Bass himself since he is extremely independet.

Bass is not the most technical rapper, but he is definitely one of the most Honest, and most dedicated to Keeping Shit Real. Not in some cliché type of manner. but real 4 real. Bass writes his rhymes with one thing in mind. To bring you the Truth as he sees it. Johnny is the type of person that i make my own music for. The One's that you don't see online on internet forums. the one in the streets tagging up everything like the world is their canvas. The One who still appreciates all the elements of Hip Hop.
Many times when i write my own rhymes i think about if Johnny Bass will feel it or not. That's one of the ways i keep myself from slippin'.

Johnny is one of the first Hiphoppers i met when i moved to Sweden about almost 14 years ago. He was Hardcore then. and He is even more Hardcore now. It Doesn't get any more Underground and Raw than Johnny Bass and Oneteron's New and only completed project (even though they have worked together on and off for the past 16 years.

Oneteron his a Dedicated Boom Bap Loyalist. He still spends most of his pay check on vinyl records to check for samples. At one time he was known to have about 7 samplers. All He does is Drink Coffee and Make Beats, and practice His Scratches and Cuts. All he cares about in this world is the sound of the Kick tha Snare, and the Hi-hat.
Oneteron is such a perfectionist that it is a little to his detriment since he very rarely gives out a project. Oneteron has been making beats about as long as Embee from Looptroop. He has probly made just as many if not more beats than Embee. but only a privledged few who know Oneteron well enough to hang out at his crib while he does what he does ever get to hear those beats, until now.

I'm writing this quickly on my lunch break so it's not as perfect an article as i would like it to be. i'm just typing from the top of my head.
anyway...

If you know Johnny Bass and/or Oneteron or i have convinced you that you should know about them. then you can download the new album below.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/snfyhh

It's Called "War In Your Own Backyard and features a guest appearance from an old friend to Johnny and a swedish emcee that i have alot of respect for, AKEM. There is also a Guest Appearance by Braille Brizzy, neither of these two guests need an introduction if you got your ear to the streets. but if your fresh in the game or only on the surface you might have to google.
okay that's it for now.

Download and enjoy tha raw energy. btw. the download also includes cover art and tracklisting. also don't get confused when you only get one track. the album is delivered as one long mix.

The Fighter - Rocky meets Jerry Springer

Brilliant Film. Marky Mark has never dissapointed me as an actor, and he delivers an incredible performance this time as well. He seems to be very good at picking roles that suit him perfectly. Christian Bale is just as impressive as an actor if not more. His version of Batman is my favorite, and in this film he definitely proved his versatility.

i'm gonna keep this short and to the point.

the story takes place in a town called Lowell. It is about 2 boxers. One is a former promising middle-weight  who is addicted to crack but imagines that he is going to make a comeback. The other main character is the Younger brother who is on a losing streak and looking to turn his luck around. but it proves to be very difficult with a crack addicted brother as his trainer and an attention hungry mother as his manager.
it's a true hollywood underdog trying to make his way to the top story with lots of tension and drama, but a bit more comedy than usual.

This film will have you laughing and crying at the same time, litterally u might feel a little schizophrenic emotionally, but it's cool.
the cinematography is great. creative camera work that keeps you right in the middle of the action.

Believability: Mark is in amazing shape for this film. I have not heard about Micky Ward before. so i do not know his fighting style. but i can say that in this film Mark does not punch like a boxer, he punches like a street brawler in a bar fight. but maybe that was the Real Micky's style as well. other than that. no complaints at all.

Premiers in Swedish theaters on the 11th of March.
