In Plain Sight...

I love reading about conspiracies. They get you think about what is, what you think should be and challenge you out of you mindset comfort of what you think you know...and that's why i'll briefly talk about the series "The Music Industry Exposed".

The first time I watched this series I was a bit skeptic, but then you think about America's history and position in the world and say "You know what? It's pretty possible". They have the power to control us without us even knowing or realising it BECAUSE of this. Okay enough about a streak that could lead us to a political uproar. Once you've pushed aside the fact that this series was written by a Muslim(or several Muslims who might have their alterior motives in running it), you will start to open your mind and eyes about what may be happening in the international world of music and how it could be use as a medium to convey malevolent messages to us the audience. I love it for the question mark that it presents to you. Whether it's based upon fact or opinion, it's something to look at and use as a tool to broaden your perspective.

I personally DON'T like watching pop videos because I don't like Pop music(which is said to be riddled with these Satanic/Masonic undertones) and I always steer away from anything Pop. Pop crowds, Pop mentality, Pop music...yeah you got me. Love Electro and Synthpop though. LOL!

Okay let me not steer away  from the topic. The thing is though, I don't know if it's my over-observant nautre, but I find this series also a bit dangerous in that once one knows of all the signs, you can become obsessed(i'm just thinking if I were to do it) with trying to find those signs in every single image and THAT obsession could in turn go reversed-psychology on you and have you zoning in and who knows how that will work out for a person.

Anyway whether you hate Those-whose-collective-name-we-shall-not-say or you're someone that's just intrigued by these kind of things, it's something that wouldn't be too bad to check out.



Thanks for reminding me Betz =*

Rap vs Hip Hop

What's Rap? What's Hip Hop? It's the same thing isn't it? WRONG!!!! Don't ever let an Emcee hear you say something like this. You'll be cooked alive! I don't want to stay too long on this topic, but here goes. My understanding...

Rap is simply poetry over rhythm. Yes it's a corny thing that I say Poetry over Rhythm seeing  Rap stands for Rhythm and Poetry. It's A-B-Cs like "The Cat sat on the mat" and then elaborating on that story. Having said that i'm not dumbing down the genre 'cause there are some really great Rap songs out there. Off the top of my head Domino's Sweet Potato Pie, a song that'll kick-start a party anytime, and Classic Crossroads by Bone Thugs and Harmony that'll have you reminiscing about everything! Rap is ...a subgenre of Hip Hop. Classic Rapper? Tupac. He was The Master of Rap.

Hip Hop is all about lyrical prowess. Punchlines, figures of speech, wit, content, flow, delivery...it's a serious art! English class all over again, without the Lame English teacher who doesn't have an imagination to really drive the magic, that English can bring, through to you. I can think of countless songs that are seriously awesome!!!! Hip Hop is huge. It's a lifestyle. I'm not going to go to deep into this 'cause I KNOW it's quite a controversial one. Classic Emcee? Biggie. Every dude out there will tell you, that He was THAT dude.

Still not catching on? Listen to the two tracks I've posted...If after that you STILL don't get it, try listening to Notorious Thugs by Biggie and Bone Thugs and Harmony. Biggie murks dudes by using their distinct flow to do his sh**. You can clearly hear the difference between Rap and Hip Hop here.

Well this was just me saying what I understand about the two. What do you think?
