WHERE DO I GO TO RESIGN FROM HIPHOP? i ask because within this multi-layered gem there are far too many willing to waste its untold resources and inherited wealth because they have a record out that the public refuses to even accept a free copy of so they sit and talk about how bad hiphop music is now how those who are successful in the corporate entertainment industry (which by the way, they too are a part of) have sold out hiphop (as a point of reference, i was 11 and Ma President, 17 in 1978 - THE YEAR - something fell out of a pigeon's butt in a fairly large northern city and landed on the headz of those who would then declare 'we have invented music' and all across the globe their fellow lemmings rejoiced in unison on bended knee, "thank thee, thank thee, thank thee.") i witnessed those "old-schoolers" you worship dressed in sneakers, jeans and t-shirts go pass 'NO' SNEAKERS, JEANS, T-SHIRTS signs while their friends, family, neighbors and fans who had followed them from the basements and parks dressed in sneakers, jeans and t-shirts were "detained" by law enforcement for 'lack of understanding that they were loitering for daring to stand in front of the sohostudiolatin54quarters and ask "how come they got in? they dressed just like me? i sat in dismay in Ma Hometown, MIAMI, as law enforcement in great forces tried to 'contain' Deadheads at a concert which just happened to be scheduled after all those "old-schoolers" you worship had pranced sea to shining sea ensuring not even Jerry Garcia and crew could afford insurance rates being charged for performance spaces my Soul still hurts from the unrelenting rape of Southern Soul, that your old-schoolers called sampling and are yet to this day to apologize for the theft that resulted in their ability to overdose on jeeps, door knocker-earrings, 2" diameter, 50inches long gold rope chains, goose-down filled leather jackets with fur lined collars, BODAGAS FULL OF OLD ENGLISH 40OZ MALTA LIQUOR in their kitchens, new work boots sported every month as fashion (which left honest hard working people in labor intensive jobs that required such for safety reasons, either without a store to find their size in, or later too expensive to purchase) i was joyfully stunned, for your old-schoolers placed obstacles in the paths of MC "ERIC" BREED, R.I.P and KID ROCK, and they just leapt all of them with a single bound and shut all the fart and shit that was coming from your false gods' mouths, like when y'all discovered Uncle Mixy's Posse did not find their broadway real estate worthy of acquiring i witnessed you and your "old-schoolers" begging via com, telegram and tell-ur-mans please take out the box so that your, (and never has any wordslinger, especially, this one actually named wordslingAH™, Da Kid! used a term so loosely) c o m p o s i t i o n s cut from the english dictionary, thesaurus and rhyming dictionary then pasted over beats (still not paid for) could flock like seagulls on MaTV so i am resigning because Ma Deservedly Respected O.G., Uncle Short Dawg, a musician who in that time of utopia that you all are withcrafting so hard to return tah, in the face of your "old-schoolers" ridicule of his RECORD CORPORATION'S ADDRESS BEING THE TRUCK OF HIS CAR, taught me LIFE I$ TOO $HORT! so I am resigning from hiphop, going to the ocean with seven pieces of copper, walking in until the sea covers ma head, places those pennies on the ocean's floor and begging ma ANCESTORS forgiveness and then asking before i turn to leave without looking back can me and ma friends now call ourselves "THE ESSENSE OF LOVE REMAINS" 03.03.09 01:20PM PACIFIC©cindyadriennequashie
