Vintage Video: Eric B & Rakim on In Living Color
Doing Know The Ledge. Honestly, I want to just re-post every video they put up over at Meaning Of Dope. I remember watching this broadcast like it was yesterday. Seeing this performed live on network television back then was like the biggest thing ever. Then the next day you would go to school talk about it like it was the fucking Super Bowl. I have to co-sign Ace Six though and say fuck that announcer dude and Fox for fading to black.

None of this shit (politics, religion, end of the world proclamations, etc.) means shit. You’re gonna die, and if you have no idea what, if anything happens after that. Those are the facts. EVERYTHING else is speculation. With that said, I support Obama, not because of his politics or hollow rhetoric about change, but simply because he’s BLACK. And that makes me happy, whether anyone thinks he’s a tap dancing Tom or not. Really doesnt make a difference. If one black kid that has a family in which no one is doing shit with their lives is inspired to not be a fucking low life because the president of the world’s most powerful nation has the same complexion as him, then we all won.
Yes, I’m late.

The “World” has ended many times before…
^When? and please don’t hit me with the dinosaurs.
^^^^^^
EXAMPLES:
A World ended the day Marcus Mosiah Garvey was born.
A World ended the day H.I.M Selassie I was coronated.
A world ended when Columbus “discovered” America.
A World ended with the birth of The World Wide Web.
A world ended when women were given the right to vote.
A world ended in 1555.
A world ended when Catholics created the Apocrypha and Canons.
Should I go on…?
You really think the worlds been the same place for the last 25,000 years?

^When? and please don’t hit me with the dinosaurs.
Humanity has been living in the same system since this shit began.
The power just changes hands.
And I don’t see any one group poised to take the power; to control the system; to change the systen; to end the “world”.
Do you?
^^^
I think that when “the power changes hands” is when the “world ends”. Those on top are thrown from their towers and the societal norms, mores, and values are thrown out the window for new ones. If Islamic culture overtook Western, I would consider that a “world ending”. The fact that no one group is poised to take over after Western civilazations collapse is testament to a great change that I think would be fair to call the end of the world.

Those are all examples of power changing and times changing not the system. The foundation of the system remains unchanged regardless of what color you paint the walls or who you “decided” to let in your fuckin house.
And if you don’t think this is the same currency based and politically based system (with a few modifications) that’s been going on for ever; then you’re exactly where “they” want you to be . . . preoccupied.
Change is and Illusion.

Many forecasters believe Solar Cycle 24 will be big and intense. Peaking in 2011 or 2012, the cycle to come could have significant impacts on telecommunications, air traffic, power grids and GPS systems. (And don’t forget the Northern Lights!) In this age of satellites and cell phones, the next solar cycle could make itself felt as never before.
see NASA.
Could u imagine in 2012 when literally everyone is tied to their pda, smart phone, internet, gps or whatever and all signals drop for months on end, this after everything has been converted to digital. Pandemonium. All records all basically being stored on web based servers…just everything. Crazy times I predict.

You’re sayin we live in the same “World” that Ancient Egyptians did?
Better yet, you think the “World” is the same place it was 50 years ago?
You cant be serious.

You acting like the world didn’t change when Einstein learned what happens when you split atoms.
^
Not every where true.
I’m acting like Einstein shared those discoveries with governments that still exist (are in power) today. The same people that owned my great grandparents are still in power today. The monarchy in England is still in power today. Subtle changes same system.
Yes there have been subtle changes but the power hasn’t changed.
When the power changes then we can say a “world” has ended.
My point is; that’s not really going to happen in this country any time soon.
That’s all I’m sayin’.

but once SOMETHING occurs to snap us out of the zombie state were in, we will DEFINITELY NOT be marching and letting ourselves be attack by those police dogs. we will not be deterred by water hoses. the state will be forced to war with us and there will be blood (no daniel day lewis)

With great regret, I will have to say that I couldnt possibly disagree more.

Landlord would need to spend a week with me on some Rob and Big tip…just so he could let loose a little. I understand what you say Land, but you have to live life. Not saying you dont and my preconcieved notions are all thought up by your type game

^ i was referring to our generations (late 70s/80s babies) when i said “we” and “us” in my comment. lol… and i can’t think a single instance a “water horse” was used against anybody.

And I’m not saying that we have. I’m not that naive Land. All I’m saying is that we get into conversations about the brutality in this country, I PERSONALLY cannot sit up here and say that I’ve experience the brutality that my father went through, that my grandmother went through. They always say to me “You have NO idea what we went through” Why lay claim to discrimination that I have never experienced as a Black woman in this country?
Yes, racism still exists. Yes, inequality still exists. Yes, the slavery mentality still exists. We all know this. It just bothers me to see people, younger people like myself, claim to experience the injustices that our forefathers fought tirelessly for us to NOT have to experience today.

My point is; America is not the World. The World changes all the time. Whether how big or small. Worlds end.
A world where Rasta’s wernt accepted (not even in Jamaica) ended when Robert Nesta Marley became the greatest artist ever.
You cant honesly say a your ancestor didnt think that their world was ended when they were kidnapped & forced into bondage…They was living in the same world that they was at home??
I dont think so…Maybe you do, but I dont.
But if you dont see it, you dont see it. We both have our opinions. I agree to disagree
June 4th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
In no way, shape, or form do I think America is the world. That is just a primary example of how the system hasn’t changed. I also used England as an example, but that’s not the point.
I can be open minded and see what you’re “trying” to say; but I do not agree with how you’re trying to say it.
We can agree to disagree.
Aight Peace. . .
