so i went to a cd store here the other day. firstly i was impressed by thier vast metal section. however while i was waiting to check out i started thumbing through a magazine called 'hip hop'. on the cover was a big story about how 50 cent and lil wayne aer beefing. now any of you who know me and have seen my left forearm know i'm cash money till i die; but the quote from lil wayne was ridiculous. it said ' i'm from new orleans, and we kill for real.' 50 was saying something about how he was gonna break waynes neck. thought this is hilarious it raised some doubt in my head. where does this attitude come from. i mean originally mcs talked about violence to paint a picture of the problems in the ghetto. that intelligence has disentegrated to all mainstream rap talking about how they kill and sell crack. it's like they all signed up for the ronald reagan meal plan to make cash not knowing this is exactly what rich white america wanted. on top of that this attitude runs deeper. to me it is part of a global lose of humility. its the big dick complex. the i've got to be better, and have , more money, more stuff, and more power than everyone else. lil wayne and 50 cent is piss in the pot. however when world leaders exercise this mentality(where do you think poverty level folks learn it) people die. i'm not just talking about iraq, but roughly every war ever. ever since sargon decided to conquest and make an empire we have all been fucked. badically there is this big global push to make everything better. however, this won't happen until everyone gets over themselves. this is from bush trying to get oil and avenge his dad to the assholes who brawl in a bar over spilled beer, it's stupid. it's cyclical(as is everything) but somone has to break that cycle. so in an upcoming election year keep that in mind. if you think hillary clinton is going to change anything you're blind. she doesn't really even want to pull all troops out of the middleast. and right now we're building up to another showdown with russia. basically i0m not scared to die in a nuclear holocaust. i just don't want to have to live through world war 3 beacuse a bunch of rich assholes couldn't get their shit together. it goes like this einstien said it best, ' i do not know what the third world war will be fought with, but the fourth world war will be fought with sticks and stones.'
hug someone, and stop fighting it's stupid.

i remember when east coast vs. west coast started and i thought it was funny until biggie and tupac were DEAD. actually, it still wasn't personal. i just thought it was all pretty dumb. but even when MCs were rapping about STOPPING the violence (or as KRS-One put it, "as a refernce, STOP THE VIOLENCE"), they were still beefing with each other about who was better at rhymes and beats. But don't you think that on some level it's just about publicity? Although, I agree that it perpetuates the myth of the misogynistic alpha male who has to kill or be killed in order to "make it" - although what making it means is never reallt made clear.
Fuck ALL that shit.
