Enjoy life! Spread Love

"To live a life of one's own choosing
Is not about the winning or loosing
It is living each day for the thrill of the ride,
Not what awaits on the other side.
Taking the process as the essence of what you do
Not what happens when the effort is through
The joy of each step, a source of elation

The greatest gift of God's creation."
A poem by Karen Lyons Kalmenson
Every morning I wake up and read a page out of a book titled Contagious Optimism. Starting the off with a positive message and experiences shared by many published authors. I believe that optimism and having a positive spirit not only makes you a happier person but provides security and confidence for the person you are growing into. Everyone chooses different paths in their life, which will be scrutinized by others, but it's up to you to realize what fits you and brings happiness to your life. Whether your happiness is in your career, faith, activities etc... When you live life for others and not as the person you are impacts your confidence and ultimately your happiness. It's interesting that I woke up and read this particular poem today because after I was a part of a small religious debate. No I'm not a religious person, but I don't condemn or pass judgment for those who are. If walking in your faith makes you happy and an ultimately a better person than by all means do so. If that's the person you are then I'll stand by you and stick up for you by any means. You are who you are and I am who I am. As long as you're free. Love and happiness is freedom to me. There are many similarities between religions, but the one thing that they all preach is spreading love, and that's what I believe life is about. So in the spirit of this free mindset I'll share with you Wiz Khalifa ft Snoop Dogg Young, Wild and Free, the song is featured on their movie Mac and Devin Go to High School which premiered on Netflix in 2012. The message is simple "So what" about others opinions, because they're not your judge, even if you don't agree with the words, still apply the message to your life. I love this song. 🙂😁 Peace.Love.Unity ✌🏾️

Should Hip Hop Have Labels? Conscious VS Trap

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow. During th...

The Real Gods of Egypt

First and foremost the fact that the entire lead cast with exception of Chadwick Boseman who plays Thoth, being of European Caucasian decent is asinine. It's a historic fact that the Gods of Egypt portrayed in this film were of African descent containing large amounts of melanin in their DNA. Simply meaning that the characters being portrayed were in real life are black. The original statues found in Egypt shows round noses, braided hair, and big lips; these are physical characteristics of black people Akhenaten "The civilization of Egypt and of Africa in general, is the most written about and least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an error in misunderstandings the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of history. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt in order to downgrade the position of African people in the world history. They have laid the founda...

Kanye Misses the Mark With Facts

-
Image
Not so happy New Years for the Yeezy Fans. Since Kanye West released an unexpected track titled "Facts" as the clock struck midnight, bringing us into the new year of 2016. The track seems like a parody of the Drake & Future song "Jumpman," because Ye borrows Drake flow and puts his own touch on the chorus, "Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman." Kanye of course boast about his wife Kim Kardashian with her Kimoji accomplishment, his Yeezy Adidas, and much more. I understand that this is Kanye's personality, but to take a perfectly good turn up song and make it into this is tragic. The song lacks creativity, real substance and just doesn't fit Kanye's natural sound. Kanye also takes some what seems like quick jabs at Bill Cosby, Steve Harvey, Nike and Drake (kinda), but that's debatable. As for the Bill Cosby comments, I think there are enough critics tearing up Bill Cosby, so why is it needed for Kanye to do so? As for if he...
