http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz735lTvrwI

So WE at OUR last 5 year MARK ending exactly on August 11th 1973 when I turned 40. So many have did Me to the point of Me not remembering those HAZES of PURPLE & so many sips of Malt Liquor until I grew up & stepped it up a bit. Man has it been a ride & mine eyes have seen many a FANTASIES & DISASTERS. It's been quite an ADVENTURE & from my purview, it seems like the sky is the limit. I've still got some growing up to do & in the process of it all, I've learned who I am as well as who WE are & as far as WE'VE come, there is still so far to go. But before WE conclude this all, I've got to let US know that WE gonna be ALL RIGHT when WE's FREE & so STAY ALIVE knowing that WE gonna WIN! Llaila Afrika of Nutricide fame always says that the ONLY SCIENCE in the UNIVERSE is MELANIN! There WE go!

So where the hell is Mike Jones now? Him & so many others just like him came around the mid 2000's (2005 to be exact) & made it as a RING TONE RAPPER with a GIMMICK that popped off or as they call it, a 1 & DONE! In the following years, dudes like N would make an album called NIGGER or what NIGGA's claim to WANNA BE but could never attain! In that, he became my http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BptDznVpt6M&list=RD02BptDznVpt6M & if you ask the average 15 year old about any of these 2 guys today, ya may just get a blank stare. But this article should resonate with those of US who aren't OLD but let's say.........more SEASONED in what the GAME is all about.


Are ya old enough to remember when WE ANTICIPATED that next GREAT THING? Do ya remember the BUZZ around dudes like Rakim, KRS-1, Nas, Bahamadia, the Fugees, Ice Cube, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 or the Cold Crush 4? Who remembers DANCE OFF's where ya might get kicked in the head if ya stood too close? Graffiti art all over the place & feeling SAD bcuz yet another DEAD HOMIE has a MURAL hanging in the hood? Who remembers Hip House & this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRaaQog4BFk. How about Kid & Play & all of the DANCES that they bought back to US?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1W9wsxcF6s. And WE can't forget about my UNDERGROUND DUDES with such HITS as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_g0F0IBxVc & these dudes who TEAR the ROOF off errytime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn5Hx1DmDz8. As far as that last 1, NOT MANY will be able to get with it so CAREFUL!!!

So, those involved with Me have branched out & are doing EVEYTHING in my name as GROWN UPS! Biz Markie is now a dj. Will Smith, Ice Cube & Latifah are now actors. My sons & daughters who are now teens & young adults are coming into the GAME BLIND & signing 360 deals meaning that the CONTROLLERS get a PIECE of every PIE ya make for making ya FAMOUS! This is for FOREVER! Since I've done my spiritual cleansing & HOPE that I've released 'em from my psyche, I HOPE that they leave me ALONE like Michael Jackson & Whitney Houston! It's quite a shame to see something that I created BASTARDIZED by supposedly grown ups like rick ross who got his name from an elder reformed drug dealer & showing out on tv like on luv & MY NAME in whatever CITY that ya in. Ya see, my peepo SUFFER for lack of KNOWLEDGE & too many have SOLD OUT to the HIGHEST BIDDER! MONEY is the greatest MOOD CHANGER & they have it in ABUNDANCE using it to CHANGE US! My CHILDREN are making this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmdF1r8rjJ0 & SHIT like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRv8taamd64 instead of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj-vPcCfQ6k. They've turned US into ZOMBIES but what shall I do? Should WE keep on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj0mi1TiE1c?
