The Bishop is Crossing aka Occupy your Mind..

Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Your Hood, Occupy America & the world.. But first people "Occupy Your Mind"!!

First & foremost, I stand with the “Occupiers” whose movement which started in my hometown NYC is beginning to spread to other cities across the country. Boston, Los Angeles, Boston, Atlanta and other cities are having similar movements.

Critics attack the Occupy Wall Street for its’ lack of "focus" its “lack” of “agenda”, “lack” of a “five point bullet-point presentation”. They proclaim that these are just a bunch of angry “99's” (of the unemployment variety); a bunch of modern day “hippies”.. (Not hipsters I hate those) They point to the lack of mainstream media coverage.. Even left wing heroes such as Thom Hartman, NorMan GoldMan, Lawrence O'Donnell, Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow was late to the party.. As always our so-called black leaders are even more late.(Ebonics..)

The believed problem with Occupy Wall Street is the movement's lack of a cookie cutter marketing strategy. The limited amount of media attention tries to compare it to the Tea Party Movement, which was nothing more than an elaborate guerilla marketing campaign.. We do the same thing with a new artist we pushing. The corporate media is late to the party because it’s hard for them to define it. (At least that's their excuse) The Right knows it’s against them but the "Middle Left" or what I like to call the Progressive panderers is afraid of this movement because it represents the frustrated and disenfranchised segment of their base. Not to mention Wall Street owns all the corporate media outlets. Is there any suprse of the lack of coverage?

So what is the Average person's problem?

Why the Apathy?

Why are the secretaries, mail room workers, lowly office clerks..etc complaining about the “Occupiers” disrupting their commute or lunch hour?

The answer is their mind is "Occupied" by the drunken stupor of apathy.

The one catch phrase I have heard from the Occupy Wall Street Movement is "You are the 99 Percent".

Bob Marley said to free your mind from mental slavery.. I believe our minds have become to “free” and we occupy it with nonsense, reality TV, American Idol the repackage New American Idol aka X Factor.. (If you're like me you turned it on thinking they did a TV version of the comic book)

No our minds are occupied with mental stimuli that is designed to retard our ability to think critically coupled with a narrow sense of processing information causes most people to lack the ability to see the big picture. Its either “Left” or “Right”, “Black” or “White”. “America” vs. "Them" (whoever they maybe)

My last Blog was "A Leap to Cynicism" (I have been slacking yes I know I haven’t been motivated to blog) I watched how people have become too complacent with their views.. How Black people who once were the moral compass of this nation have become the silent apathetic minority.

If you are black you cannot question the President without fear of being called a hater. Tavis Smiley and Cornel West have basically been kicked out of the so-called “Black establishment class” as Reverend Al-Pportunist has been basically ushered in as Barack Obama’s Fredrick Douglas, even got his own nationwide political show. (Ugfffzville indeed)

Little to no Media coverage was giving to Mr. Smiley & Dr. West's Poverty tour across America. At the same time the 2011 Census report shows that poverty in this nation is at an all-time high. In America 1 in 5 children live in poverty and the we are second to last in economic upward mobility amongst developed countries but the people are asleep.

Our slumber can only be attributed to the wealth of this nation and its safety nets that still remain for NOW and our President who despite the fact some of his supporters feel he hasn't done enough during his time in office still pacifies his supporters and left leaning critics. (Now I won't discuss my views on Obama or his place in the NWO's master plan, but I will say this the "Change..") Our Minds are clouded by nonsense.. We are so used to “sound-bites” and "twitter comprehension" that we can think past 142 characters.. Hell even Facebook dumb themselves down.

Today Ed Shultz who I agree with most of the time said he will not cover the Occupy Wall Street movement because they don't have a clear cut message. Ed went as far as to say they need disband and get folks registered to vote for the Democratic Party.. Mr. Shultz like many others on the left believe they need more than just to say "We mad at all the money effecting everything. Ed's passion I love but he has it wrong. That is the only message needed for right now, as it grows so will its organization and its “articulation”. (Local unions and labor organizations are begning to lend there support as well as celebrities so this will come)

There is no need for a 5 point-bullet PowerPoint presentation of the grievences of the Occupiers.. It’s clear!! The Owners of this world has overreached. These corporate Plutocrats have over done it.

The 1 percent controls the media political parties, our entertainment and even our educational system. I think that message is just perfect for now. The Entire world from the Middle East to Europe is saying the same thing..

"You are the 99 percent‼"

The Uber-Rich has over reached …

The American people is use to the rich getting richer we accept that, we understand that even applaud it but the “American Dream” that we may one day also be rich is becoming more and more an illusion.. Through education and hard work we believe if we work hard we can achieve maybe not riches but at least do better than our parents.. However things have changed. Manufacturing jobs have disappeared for the most part, entry level jobs has been outsourced and mid level employment offers suppressed wages with lack of growth. (Let's not forget the mountain of student loan debt.. That my generation is settled with..)

Do remember the outsourcing of jobs with these lop sided trade deals began with NAFTA & CAFTA which was designed by the Great Bill Clinton and his administration. In Clinton's defense he figured a surplus (which he left) would help buffer the lack of jobs and keep the American middle class & working class afloat as we transition to a new economy but it was started under Him.

President Bush of course went through the surplus like a drunken cowboy at a brothel and here we are..

The middle class is an endangered species and folks are starting to get it.

But of course the apathetic mind isn't occupied on the right thing and neither is the "so-called" mainstream left.. The "Occupiers" of Occupy Wall Street are having town halls, educational discussions on democracy and how to effectively convey their grievances. This is not the seeds of a political “sea change” or a political party's “re-focus” or “re-branding”, this is or could be a revolution..

Would you rather a peaceful revolution with marches and discussions, a movement that lacks some publicity and marketing campaign strategy or something a kin to the French revolution? The only violence so far came from the NYPD it was just a matter of time too..

My Issue…

I do not see enough black & brown folk down there.. With unemployment at 16.5 percent amongst African Americans there should be more.. Where are the black fraternities and soroaties? I know Homecoming is coming.. Occupy your mind on something else then apathy or avoidance.. I am glad to see Russell Simmons has giving his support perhaps others will follow and "we" will get more involved if only in a supportive role

It’s time to Occupy your minds on making this world a better place for my God Daughter and baby cousins

Occupy your mind after you free it..

Francine "Niki Chin" Gordon

Fashion designer Francine "Niki Chin" Gordon is the true meaning of the word talent. Her product lines include: Niki Chin Couture, Niki Chin Urban Wear, and also Niki Chin Accessories. It makes us wonder who is the woman behind the name "Niki Chin"?

Born Francine Gordon on December 20, 1981, in Kingston, Jamaica, Francine Gordon has come a long way from dreaming of being a star to actually interviewing stars on International television shows. Francine's fashion sense was blossoming at an early age. As a child she would use scraps of old cloth to make her dolls new clothes. As she got older, she began altering her own clothes to fit or adorning them to look more unique and trendy. In 2007, she and longtime friend, musician and photographer Harold Grate decided to start a unique clothing line. Couture and funky Urban wear became the focus of Niki Chin.

Fashion design is just a portion of her outstanding capabilities. Apart from being a clothing designer and television host, Francine is a make-up artist, hair stylist, and portrait artist. In 2004, Francine landed a gig hosting a Caribbean television show in New York called "Plush TV" and eventually made a household name for herself in the Caribbean communities.

BOONDOCKS "DICK RIDING OBAMA" BY THUGALICIOUS AND WILL I AM

2010-04-16T08:38:00.000-07:00

HILARIOUS!!!

The Bishop is Crossing aka Sweet..

2010-04-06T19:43:00.001-07:00

The Bishop is Crossing aka Sweet..

Jazz music is soothing to the soul .. (I'm talk real jazz not that smooth jazz CD 101.9 crap) I'm talking Louie, Duke, Ella. That Jazz with that Blues Riff going on.

I used to listen more to it since I'm not working for the firm anymore I'm not confined to a desk . So now I listen mostly to what's going on now. "Staying in bop" I guess..

So as the Mood indigo plays on in the background I am in a melancholy sullen mood. I just left from a night of revelry chilling with someone I feel that our attraction to one another is strictly physical and we both know it which is cool. She is a girl that likes the scene (though she won't admit it).. Sweet..

I'm in the scene.. The scene is beginning to wane.. Beginning to lose its luster. This isn't what I came here for.

Folks I'm no promoter I am an artist I got involved in as a hustle to make money and stretch the brand which works but I'm tired of the scene..

I just want to make music.. How many model chicks wanna be groupies etc can I take down. To the outside its the life..

Both of my ex's have both married and moved on with there lives and I refuse to care about another woman again..

Well there is one but I don't want to I guess be in that vulnerable state again and she doesn't want to ruin "what we already have" code I guess for not that into you. Or she is afraid to subject herself to this life.. This industry life..

.. Sweet

How do you know if someone you meet is interested in you or they are interested in the persona I get that a lot

Everyone uses people that's the basis of a relationship you have something I want and I have something you want. Sometimes you settle I'm beginning to see that more and more..

Married women cheat on their husbands with me cause from me they want is fun from him they want money or stability

.. Sweet

My life needs a change this rat race I been on has been going on for far to long not so much the music side cause I'm on the cusps of greatness but what comes with it. I'm no longer comfortable I'm not in as good of a space anymore.

When my best friend and lover walked away it was a good thing. I focused on me I focused on my career now its like what's next? How many of the same type of women can I meet?

How many unsigned artist who think they are the second coming of something that no one wants to hear anymore and who has no money for promotion must I tolerate?

How many I help who say they want to help me don't help me ?

.. Not so Sweet..

How many meetings get canceled because when its time for a check to be cut the person was ass betting and then when its put up or shut up time doesn't follow through..

The industry is funny it is funny because its a microcosm of America truly. America has the richest top 2 percent and everyone trying to get there. And the industry has the top 2 percent of successful artist and everyone is chasing them.

The problem is what you think is success 9 times out of 10 isn't . Not talking metaphorical about the pitfalls but I'm talking about most these artist are broke.

The comfort is my pockets are the same as 80 percent of the people you see on TV

Sweet...

Honestly I started this blog months ago and put it down and figured I finish it now.. My melancholy-ness has faded with the passage of the winter time I guess..

I'm back in school and I'm actually enjoying it. I've always enjoyed knowledge and learning but school was a chore an ends to a means but now its an indulgence because ultimately I'm doing what I want to do for good and for bad

the money will come I'm sure of it I'm positive. What will it cost me is the question

I've turned down record deals for large sums of money because the price was too high and so was my naïveté

But I'm wiser and all be it less "idealistic" about the business

Sweet... Or maybe not so sweet..

This game hardens you. If you do not keep yourself mentally separated from the rat race it will consume you. Its intoxicating the V.I.P. the famous and powerful associates. The women, the liquor, but if you let it will consume you.
I see it with a lot of the older artists who time has passed. They constantly trying to "get back" but can't. And they can't give up the chase.. Its almost like Captain Ahab in Mobey dick chasing that white whale

I'm a firm believer that anything you are not willing to give up you may want to much..

There is a thin line between ambition and obsession or dedication or addiction

Wonder Mike & Master Gee's "La La Song" to Debut this week at #45 On Billboard Dance Charts

2010-03-15T12:48:00.000-07:00

Wonder Mike & Master Gee of the original Sugarhill Gang Are Still Making Chart Topping Music

"La La Song" to Debut this week at #45 On The Billboard Charts

GoodThyme Click/MaxaMusic Group is proud to announce that "La La Song" by Bob Sinclar and Wonder Mike & Master Gee of the original Sugarhill Gang with HenDogg will enter the Billboard US Dance Charts at #45 as the Hot Shot Debut.

Wonder Mike & Master Gee along with HenDogg have teamed up with International Super Producer Bob Sinclair and crafted "La La Song". 30 years ago, Wonder Mike & Master Gee single handily birthed the Hip-Hop Industry that we know today with the release of the legendary "Rapper's Delight". "Rapper's Delight" was the first Hip-Hop record to garner widespread worldwide success and still remains one of the most popular songs in music history. In other words: "They Made Rap Pop"."La La Song" was an immediate hit garnering heavy rotation on dance and rhythmic stations throughout the globe when it was released last summer by Yellow Productions/Universal Music Group.

"La La Song" pays homage to the essence of Hip-Hop. Bob Sinclair creates a nostalgic yet contemporary back drop which showcases the catchy lyrics of Wonder Mike, Master Gee and HenDogg.

In late 2009, "La La Song" shot up the European Billboard Charts and reached as High as #5 as well as being crowned the #1 song for 2009 in the nation of Italy. It was only a matter of time before this fun and exciting song made its way across the pond.

Fresh off a brief European promo tour and armed with a brilliantly directed video that takes audiences of all ages back to the days of break-dancing, roller-skating and boom boxes, "La La Song" is sure to be the 2010 summer Pop hit .

Wonder Mike & Master Gee along with Henn Dogg are currently prepping a European Tour as well as a US Promo tour in support of the "La La Song". Wonder Mike & Master Gee has proven their icon status and longevity in the music industry.

The Bishop Is Crossing aka The Eyes Of March '010

2010-02-28T14:20:00.000-08:00

So its that time of year again.. March is here.. Those that know me know that the first is my birthday and this time of year is usually filled with some sort of calamity . So I wait like a Captain who is sailing his ship into a battle, optimistic and confident that his vessel will survive but still not sure of what dangers awaits.

The Captain like me has fought this enemy many times before and always came out of the scrimmage intact . Yes we sustained heavy damage, lost a few casualties along the way but yet our flag still waves..

So as my Birthday approaches I'm trying to remain positive that this year will finally be the birthday and birthday month that isn't well for lack of a better word depressing. See its like murphy's law anything that can go wrong tends to go wrong for me in march. Now I wonder if its because I am a blessed person so I have the most high's abundant favor for 11 months out of the year so I have to sacrifice 1 month. Or its the forces of evil conspiring against me.. Who knows..

Through out the years I never saw it coming but I am to see the seeds that were planted for the harvest of march disaster and this year is no different. So lately I have been trying to put out these little brush fires now before the forest goes up in flames. However sometimes its best to let it burn.. And let the fire pass.

Like every year people close to me say think positive this year will be different blah blah blah

So to all my "friends" and extended family members and people soon to be cut off I thank you for well wishes and bday blessings in advance ...

And to those who have been trying to call me or text me over the weekend. I am happily hiding in the "Pokie-nose" with wonderfully limited services chilling in my homie's Den enjoying my melancholy mood..

What you leave behind...

2009-12-15T13:23:00.000-08:00

*Not a "The Bishop Is Crossing.." But it could be but I have decided to not cross on personal editorials

What you leave behind...

The Bible has a famous passage somewhere in it can't remember but it goes like this:

"When I was a child I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child, when I became a man I put aside my childish ways... "

As Christmas approaches and the New Year aswell I find myself in my normal melancholy state of reflection that I do every year however this year is different. (Its wonder I don't drink more)

I made mistakes in my youth but mostly its the normal growing pains of life. And for the first time I find myself in a position of "uncertainty" (well near uncertainty)

I have spent entirely too much of my career helping others with their careers, though I have achieved some positive successes and achievements but in actuality I'm owed more then I received. Now this isn't a situation of me getting jerked or anything just in this business when you align yourself with "movements" you must be ready to pivot to the next thing and set up yourself. Which I feel I have done so very well. (Some people refer to this as paying dues.) From Rap to ghostwriting to rap to radio to more ghostwriting to radio promotion, consulting an executive postion then back again. I think I've done well for myself even though I'm still an unknown; relativily a drop in the bucket of a huge pond.

Now the thing about this game, when your involve yourself with something and that "thing" runs its course normally that person or persons you leave to focus on your own thing 9 times out of 10 will not support you. I say that to say this in 2008 I made a conscience effort to focus on me and in 2009 I took time away from Me well "J-Didda" to work with some heavy people . My position as A&R even though its a small company that has just opened its doors the experience I am gaining working with people that has shaped todays industry is worth more then my salary.

Now as 2010 approaches a new reflection and evaluation must take place, me as a "Man" I am deciding to be a better Man. I've always been a spiritual person (not religious ugff religion is for fools and power seekers) but I feel I need to do more to solidify my relationship with the most high because folks I am and have been truly blessed.

Most recently my best friend's uncles both passed away both relatively young men died . Life is short but it feels longs. But while I'm here I'm starting to worry about what sort of footprint I'm gonna leave behind.. What legacy.

Certain steps one must make in order to set themselves up for success. Its time to do more and speak less about what's going to happen. Foundations must be built before you build anything.

So this is a message to everyone in my "circle" that I work with or will work with. Play-time is over!!!

I'm Crossing and I have a chip on my shoulder now, roll with me or get rolled over or simply Left behind...

The Bishop Is Crossing (12/09/09) aka The Leap to Cynisism

2009-12-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

The Bishop is crossing aka The Leap To Cynicism

I know its been a minute but here goes my latest "The Bishop Is Crossing" . This is my call to all "Cynics" and "skeptics" too to rise up. As well to awaken the dormant cynicism within us all. Apathy isn't poppin anymore folks...

First off let's Define the words Cynicism

Cynicism

1 result for: cynicism - cyn·i·cism /ˈsɪnəˌsɪzəm/ [sin-uh-siz-uhm] –noun 1. cynical disposition, character, or belief. 2. a cynical remark. 3. (initial capital letter) any of the doctrines or practices of the Cynics.

Which comes from the word Cynical

2 results for: cynical - cyn·i·cal /ˈsɪnɪkəl/ [sin-i-kuhl] –adjective 1. like or characteristic of a cynic; distrusting or disparaging the motives of others. 2. showing contempt for accepted standards of honesty or morality by one's actions, esp. by actions that exploit the scruples of others. 3. bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic. 4. (initial capital letter) cynic (def. 5).

A leap to cynicism is needed today. I have always been a cynic. People always seem to ask me; "Where do you get your views?"; "Why are you so negative?" Folks I'm not negative I'm a realist!

my views on everything from politics, to music, to people in general comes from the art of observation from studying people and the world around you. Religious folk would say "be still" and God will speak to you right? Right! (God speaks to me about Religious folk all the time but that's another blog)

Some people call it intuition that might be true I am intuitive about a lot of things but when it comes the world to me its more common sense. Its actually deeper then common sense. Its simply logic.

One of the pillars of Logic is "causality" simpling meaning nothing comes from nothing: So if "something(s)" happened "something(s)" caused it to happen (If A then B)

(This is a long one folks so sit back)

2pac did a song called "stairing thru my rear-view" I did a remix (I think I will post it later for your listening pleasure) Basically its a song about the "overstanding". Pac said life is a game to be played to look at the world behind you like you already seen it before. What he is saying basically is to look at the world from outside of time, from outside the "now" but look at everything in the context of history.

That's how I view the world I watch the news like its history because everything repeats itself. People are beginning to compare our escalation in Afghanistan to Vietnam, yes there are similarities but that too is an argument used to distract us from the true reason for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and possibly Iran. I will get to that in a bit. But I applaud the skepticism or better yet the "cynicisms"

America needs more skeptics & cynics . Cynics take skepticism to a higher level. A Skeptic gives an issue the benefit of the doubt but still remains unconvinced of a particular issue. A Cynic is just not buying that bullshit you are shoveling.

African Americans were once considered the moral compass, the conscience if you will of America. This is due to our unique position as being different from all the other citizens of our nation. "We" are not immigrants. Black folk as I like to call us (Well really I say N.I.G.G.A.s; Non Immigrants Gaining, Gathering & Achieving) didn't choose to come here. Our history in the United States has been filled with Terrorism, brutality, oppression, dis-in-franchisement, minor achievements, gradual acceptance and finally the apparent ultimate vindication with the election of the first African American President all be it half White and Half African immigrant.

Let's leap to cynicism when it comes to Obama. I truly believe that the number 1 candidate for the christian Anti christ or the Muslim Dijjar is Barack Obama. When I say this it pisses black folk off. See when the right wings call him the anti-christ they are doing it to degrade the man, with subtle racism and of course to scare their base and rallying the troops in an effort to oppose him. When I say that our President could very well be the A.C. comes from an understanding of the texts and an overstanding of them as well.

For the record I supported Obama. Met him in fact. Donated to the campaign . Why ? Because I believe If Barack Obama is in fact the Anti-christ then he already lost right? Right! I Let the metaphysical deal with metaphysical . Me I'm a physical being so I must deal with the physical. (In other words leave it in God's hands)

The Bible, the Quran and all other religious texts deal in metaphor and allegory . Jesus and Muhammad both spoke in parables so I cannot logically take these texts literal especially when it comes from man, But I accept the truths that are inherent with in all the ancient texts, if you overstand!

(Tangent I know)

So I believe the anti christ or the Dijja or whomever .. (Recently I learned of the concept of an "un-holy" trinity whatever) isn't representing the beginning of the end of the world but most likely the end of the world as we know it!
Our World's Nation states are by all intensive purposes nothing more then an illusion. We have a global economy, we have organizations such as the World Bank the G-8 and the G-6. In all things that matter we are for the most part connected. The problem is the "Frontier States". The "Frontier States" or "Frontier Nations" are the third world nations how do we get them in line? (Its more to it then this but we shall continue)

Why Cynicism?

As Black folk we always been skeptical or cynical of our Government we was raised that way . Unemployment today is 10 percent in this nation . So you know that's 20 25 percent for black people probably 35 for black men. When the country suffers we suffer more. "Uncle Jessie" Jackson said that Black people are the canary in the cole mines . We have been taught to always keep one eye on our daily lives and one eye on our government especially our President.

But then here comes Barack Obama....

Paul Mooney said at a show "Man we love him don't we? He is half black and half white. Looks like Malcom X and sounds like Martin Luther King" that's a Cynic talking . Comedians tend to be cynical. (Lord I wish George Carlin would've live to see Barack in Action or better yet Mark Twain)

I go on Facebook and almost every black person I see now have as their political affiliation "Obama" not democrat, not republican not liberal not conservative but "Obama" that speaks volumes. Our Black sense of skepticism has been pacified. America's conscience is gone. The black canary has flown the coup...

Its like when you would get in a car with your Uncle or Father going to visit your Aunt or Grandmother in the country you don't think twice about you getting there safe you just go to sleep, read a comic book, sight see . You know Dad got it, or Grandpa or in my case "Uncle Wally" Got it.

That's how we are treating things today. In every recession or depression before hand Black folk was marching and protesting demanding jobs, equal rights and protections.

Not Today!! Man we need to take a leap..

No jobs Obama got it, No Universal healthcare Obama got it. 35,000 more troops Obama got it. We not marching not rallying . Nothing just relaxing and waiting for "our President to sprinkle some AC dust and make it better"

Same with the white folk accept for the right-wingers who are against him from the beginning. (They kill me . Taarp is "apparently working we have extra so Obama wants to give Tax cuts to small businesses and the republicans are against this lol that's a conservative proposal)

Now I think the President is doing a good job so far. We are in a hole a huge hole! A hole left purposely by Bush so America would have no choice but to elect him.

Again look at the world outside of time. If the world is connected financially how do we connect it totally, when the majority of the world's population are brown people?

The answer: Get a brown leader simple.

Take a Leap To Cynicism folk.

It amazes me how Hip Hop the anti culture for the past 25 years suddenly was in my opinion was one of the most significant driving forces to the Obama Campaign. Why?

"Think about it.."

In fact the Entertainment community as a whole supported the man do you think it is a coincidence that white house chief of staff Rham Emmanuel's brother is one of the biggest Entertainment Lawyers in the business?

Take that Leap...

Let's get to the heart of it. Cause I'm going on and on and I can ramble about this subject until the cows come home. I apologize to the lack of structure bout the beauty about blogging is that the traditional rules of writing are a bit "relaxed"

Last week our President addressed the Nation about the escalation in Afghanistan and the "Left" is upset and confused. Why does Obama keep the same generals Bush had, why does he keep the same Secretary of Defense? (While we at it why the same Fed Chairman)

Thinking???

If it don't make sense it makes Dollars!!

This country only produces 4 things, our economy is powered by only; Entertainment (music, movies, sports etc), Financial regulations (banking, wall street, legal, IP), Healthcare (Insurance, pharmas) and finally the Military . The wars we fight make it possible for everything else to function. So are you surprised that 1 year into the new administration we are sending 35,000 more troops overseas?

Leap please!!

Let's talk Debt. Who do we owe ? China and the Asian nations. That includes India too by the way .

I promise you you're about to Leap..

The Asian Development Bank has been trying to build "The Trans-Afghan Oil Pipeline" in Afghanistan for almost 20 years. It will run from Turkmenistan (Caspian sea) through Afghanistan through Pakistan then India and China and Russia etc..

That's right folks.. Oil again

So we are fighting a war and sacrificing our young people who can't get no other jobs but military service for a pipeline that we won't even profit from why? Because America is the enforcers of the world.

Ready to Leap yet??

I can continue but hey I'm planning on writing a book so let me not give it all away in one blog. But then again I probably will if I get tight enough..

I will leave you with this.. Some of our greatest people were Cynics.. Ghandi, Jesus, Martin, Malcolm and of Course J-Didda (cheap plug I know)

In closing LEAP TOWARDS CYNICISM its good for the soul, good for your children and your Country

We cannot blindly follow anything or anyone anymore. As christmas approaches I always think of John Lennon and his "Happy X-mas" song. "The war is over, if you want it" . Even though we are pacified we still have the power to slow down "their" agenda.

Peace - Didda

About Wonder Mike and Master Gee of the original Sugarhill Gang:

Influenced by the Music Scene in New York City in 1979, Wonder Mike and Master Gee of the original Sugarhill Gang jumped over the metaphorical walls of the inner city and into the realm of the mainstream with the first worldwide rap hit, "Rapper's Delight" (1979). Although rap and Hip-Hop music had existed for quite a few years prior to the Sugarhill Gang's rise to fame, it had failed to move out of the areas heavily populated by black families in the 1960's and 1970's. Disputed by some, the Sugarhill Gang is still believed by many to be the first professional rap group because they brought this "new" style of music to the general public. They soon surprised the world with their hit, "Rapper's Delight", eventually selling over 8 million copies, helping to pave the way for future aspiring rappers while bringing a cultural practice into the mainstream to reach a wider audience. The sudden popularity of this new rap music led those in the media to speculate that this musical style would be only a passing fad. But as we can see today, rap and Hip-Hop continue to grow in popularity.

Master Gee and Wonder Mike Of the Original Sugar hill Gang On BBC International Radio

2009-10-13T13:38:00.000-07:00

It is 30 years since Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang hit the US charts and became the first hip-hop hit record.

It took the sound of MCs rapping over beats supplied by DJs from the streets of New York and introduced it to the wider world.
So how did this famous record come about?
Master Gee and Wonder Mike are two of the original members of the Sugarhill Gang.

While many will identify hip hop with music, fans talk about the 'five pillars of hip hop' which include beat-boxing and graffiti.
DJ Trevor Nelson explains.

Hip-hop was born in the US but can now be heard around the world.
So why does it matter? The BBC's James Fletcher finds out.

Stand By Me '09 John Lennon Feat J-Didda (Happy Birthday John!!!)

2009-10-09T01:07:00.000-07:00

Stand By Me ’09 - John Lennon Feat J-Didda aka The Bishop Of Harlem

In honor of the birth of one of music's icon. J-Didda releases his remix to Stand by me. John Lennon's contribution to the world went far beyond music . His message still resonates today. With the war in Iraq, the apparent escalation of the war in Afghanistan as well as the global recession and fight for health reform, John's life was dedicated to the common man, the innocent and impoverished. John lennon was not only one of the world's greatest songwriters he was also a revolutionary . So on this day we celebrate his life and his music.

"I did this song a few years ago Me and Fate was going thru some old tracks and decided to put this out as a tribute. R.I.P. John" - J-Didda

The Bishop is Crossing aka Why So serious?? (What I came here for)

2009-10-01T05:38:00.000-07:00

The Bishop is Crossing aka Why So serious?? (What I came here for)

I love music; I am a musician, I love the arts; I am an artist. My voocation; I am a philosopher (well at least that was my major in school). But I'm also a capitalist because I decided on a career in the music business

Recently I have been told by a few people that I don't take "rap" serious enough. People wonder how I get award nominations but haven't put out a mixtape or ep in 5 years. Or haven't performed in 4 years (at least not in new york) this is what serious artist do I guess so I say "why so serious?" (I wish I could insert the voice)

When I started I made prolific records (endeavored to anyway) deep conscience songs, introspective and metaphysical conversations in verse and rhyme. It didn't work well it did I guess I was offered a deal (A major one). I turned it down because the spirit didn't move me to sign. I wasn't feeling what they wanted me to do basically being a pawn in the system (I'm a bishop!!) . A serious artist would have signed the deal. So again "Why So serious?" Being a pawn and servant to the system that promotes mediocrity and superficial forms of entertainment is not what I came here for.

So I make the "Exclusive" record to mix reviews . The thing bout music is every song has mixed reviews . Any song in history I can find 20 people that's loves a record and another 20 that hates that record. "Exclusive" is designed for a soundtrack a fun party record . But Real hip hop heads don't like the autotune (what up Hov' lol @brooklynsfate) they say its too pop. I guess a serious artist wouldn't make this type of song. "Why so serious?"

The "industry" loves the record. Every mover and shaker I let hear it loves it. (Accept Seandue but he just thinks I can do better and we differ in radio philosophy slightly but Ed loves it and they partners) its for radio its for the clubs people! Party deejays dig it. Girls love it. And if you ever partied with me you know its all real. But serious artist don't talk about partying serious artist don't party again "why so serious?" (I hope you guys are inserting the Joker's voice)

So I'm all over the place I start one project and then start another project and to the outside looking in it would seem like I'm jumping from one thing to another much like my love life. (I'm such a pisces go with the current baby! Sup' Lorna) I starting rapping and writing then I got into radio and tv now I'm focused more on my career as a writer now then radio/TV, but the album isn't out yet . Started the 50mics tournament left that laid low, finishing the album looking for the lead single (Exclusive Hello) came back with the Goodthyme Click movement, All the while dropping a song or a freestyle here and there and doing events and parties damn near everyday. A serious artist or business person would focus on one thing. I say "Why so serious?"

The problem with the underground is 99 percent of all artist have tunnel vision. As an artist we feel that its all about our craft and if we put it out there the world will hear it and it will spread naturally and I'm the next Jay-z . That's not how it works. The music business is more business then music in all reality and if you want to be in it be prepared to do more business then music

As an artist I know for a fact that if I wanted to I can destroy the majority these rappers out here underground or mainstream (Yes you.. :-) lol). I can go a few rounds and hold my own with some of your underground "Elite" or your mainstream "heros" a serious rapper with my ability would right? .. But "Why so serious?" That's not what I came here for.

Being the nicest rapper on my block or in my circle is to me "self-indulgent" and ignorant. That's what's wrong with New York's underground scene.

However If I make a party record folks or a "commercial" record I'm not trying to sell out or what ever I'm making music for my mood at the time . I have deep and depressing music too lol. So when you hear the album the moods will be all over the place. I might be singing on a track or I might be "spitting that fire" I might be political . But its music so there is no box. But a serious artist would worry about how they are perceived by the "circle" or the underground but I say "__________" (yep you know it!)

With that said my focus now is hit records and mainstream radio play. So I can't give the people all of my moods at one time until they at least know my name and stop confusing me with the late J.Dilla lol.

(Jaydee changed his named to J.Dilla the same year I started rapping then died 2 years later and I have to be giving grief by internet nerds and backpackers ugfff I digress)

What an artist must understand is that the masses DON'T KNOW YOU !! Or do they CARE TO KNOW YOU. You can't give people songs about your life and your struggle until they want to know it. Its like a date you meet a girl do you tell her your whole life at first? (Well I do but I can get away with it lol) You want to be funny and witty and entertaining. That's superficial and the beginning of any relationship is superficial that's why the music is superficial now because the industry is in a climate of ultra-superficial because the industry is driven by "New artists" they don't want growth. But a serious artist. Would say go against the grain I say "Why so serious?"

There is plenty of time to go against the grain but first you got to be let in the party before you can start dancing and doing your own dance.

I'm on a mission here. I have a calling I guess.

I look at the world and it bothers me . I look at the people and it saddens me. So I have a choice: Either stand on the corners and preach and yell like them crazy people on the train or who used to be on 42nd street or embark on a career in entertainment . I chose the latter.

Some quotes:

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it fall did it really fall?"

**So if you don't build a brand you can't build a fanbase then who will your music or your message.**

"In Matters of style, swim with the current, in matters of principle, stand like a rock" - Thomas Jefferson

**I came in this game to win but my cross is making music that honors the great songwriters before me but still fits into what's going on now ie got to get to radio**

"How does man become a voice with out being someone elses echo" - Cornel West

**My other cross honoring the greats but don't mimic them and make secular music but don't become a secular run of the mill artist**

'Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet." -Jean Jacques Rousseau

**Can you say starving artist?**

"I can't help the poor if I'm one of them" - Jay-Z

**This is what I came here for. I am in entertainment to effect social change and politics to me is not the way and we are not ready for revolution yet**

"You can't Lead the people if you don't love the people you can't save the people if you don't serve the people" - Cornel West

**I think I'm only in the Love stage, I'm not in a position to really be of much service, my radio show was a vessel of truth so I'm trying. (Yes 2 quotes from Dr. West)**

I'm here to walk the path of Garvey, Malcolm, Martin, Lennon, Belafonte, Ali, Marley, Springstein, Pete Seeger, Tosh, and Micheal

But I need the light on my face before I can dance and after I'm done dancing I'm gonna sing and my song will be one of truth well at least my opinion of what the truth is.

I have been called "Industry with mentality of a def jam exec that is messing up the game". I was told I was at the same time a critic and I have too much I don't give a fuck in me. Its perception. I give a fuck about important things. And though I disagree with the industry and how it works I understand how it works and I know you can't fight the system you have to work the system until you don't need the system

So if I appear I'm all over the place know that its a branding each project is a foot hole on a rock face of this mountain I'm climbing. If you ever went rock climbing you would know that sometimes one's foot can only fit in certain holes and the next person may not be able to fit in the same hole . So an experience climber knows at times you may have to go around or even go down and around before you can climb up.

This is what I came here for this is my mission if you will. I am a boy from harlem from un-exceptional means from an un-exceptional background trying to do something exceptional. Now a serious person wouldn't embark on such a thing again "Why so serious?"

JY FREESTYLE ON CRACK DISTRIBUTORS RADIO

MY BOY JY DOING HIS NUMBERS ON CRACK DISTRIBUTORS RADIO SHOUT OUT YUNG NATE AS WELL

The Bishop is Crossing aka Another one of them "State Of the Game" Blogs

2009-09-03T11:16:00.000-07:00

Okay its dark out here. With the state of the economy, enlight of Jay-z's new Blueprint 3 being released (well I happen to get one early) and of course with the Underground Music Awards behind me just by a week. I'm reflecting on the state of the music industry

All of these underground gatherings is fastly becoming a support group for people with there tractors stuck in the Mud like the Johnny Cash Movie. If you remember in "Walk the line" Johnny was drunk and his tractor was stuck in the mud and couldn't get it out cause he was going about it all wrong and eventually fell in the lake just like most of these artist.

Its been nearly 8 years since I decided to embark on a career in the music industry and I feel I'm on path to get my one shot. But folks you only get 1 !! You only get one chance, so when the light is on your face you better dance. (Its just so much work to get to the stage to get the light on ya.) Sometimes I wonder if I have the hunger to even dance.

Currently I'm in the best space in my career. My blackberry addy book is worth a million dollars with some of the connects I have . I'm working for an independent label that actually has a chance to win. Amazes me that I became an A&R before my first deal.

The music me and Fate are coming out with can compete with anything on the radio right now but yet I'm not there yet much like
So many other underground artist in the game. The difference between them and me is I'm not underground I'm so overground.

These artist are so busy hating the game and the radio and what's hot right now that they forget there job as a musician. My job as a songwriter is to make music that the mainstream can enjoy and can relate to.

A lot of you rappers are making music for each other to get respect and love at these showcases. Then you have the "on cusp artists" could get a deal or have a deal and will ultimately loses their deal cause they "wanna keep it real" .

Unless you like me and you turned down a deal because you refused to be an industry gimmick and glamorize drug and gangster lifestyle when I wasn't built nor ever will be built for that . I'm the godfather to gangsters children I understand and respect the true gangsters too much to pretend. And I'm not getting caught out like Pac. 2pac was an acting student with Jada pinkett. Didn't have so much as a traffic ticket til Rap.

*I'm ranting hold on*

But these Artist are trying so hard to be different or to keep it real to what they think is real which is stuff that we was bumping in jr high. And the old heads was saying that stuff was trash.

Your have these on the cusps rappers refusing to make "that" record that 1 or 2 record that the label can push or the deejay can play. And like I told 1 person if you can't write it let me do it . Let me and Fate craft your single. They said nah its not me its commercial then why put out a product you wish to sell ? Commerce supply and demand.

Granted there is to much supply of music and not enough demand for all of it. But you gotta at least make something that makes a person feel like wiggling too.

Ugfff

Death of auto tune and all tha is a marketing ploy 808 and Heartbreaks made Hov a ton of money. Folks Autotune does not make a hit Its the way its written how catchy. Roger Troutman, Stevie Wonder, Teddy Riley been making vocal coder music before yall was born..

However I agree with Jay-z if all you can do is Autotune and when u don't got that effect and no one wants to hear you then you suck!

I'm tired of taking meetings with Artists that think they are gonna be the different one! They can break in the game and be the Next Drake with no money and no investment. Drake stayed behind the scene for years helped so many people hot that now he cashing in his favors. Drake's value is more then rap. What's your Value?

Keep it 100 what's your value to me?

**rant again**

I was talking to a young Rnb singer who I'm considering working with going back and fourth on why what she want to do won't be accepted by the masses from her at her age. Well we back and fourth finally she got it and understood. (I hope)
People say I'm negative and cynical nah I'm a realest. Look @ the game there is rules .

You don't go to the baseball game and tell the umpire yo I think I should get 5 strikes . If you don't like the rules don't play the game . Like Lionel Richie Said in an interview "Get off the field and let the real players play"

Don't complain bout radio when you need radio you complain bout the clubs you need the clubs. Or be a niche artist. There is a life in that.
That's not why I'm here.

So as I reflect I realize I'm so above it all how I think how I approach music. This girl told me I'm very industry and I denied it.

Me and Maddmann was listening to my early work. I was hungry he says. Nah I was stupid lol if I knew what I know now then I be rich. Its not lyrics, not beats, not even the image its the set up . You gotta be set to take your shot when you get the ball..

And folks my three pointer is water right now!

What singers must learn u have to be able to have a marketable sound with your voice and be able to really sing. Aaliyah you left a huge void I the R&B ..

Repost from '07 The Bishop is Crossing aka Poor lil' Pigs

2009-05-29T08:12:00.000-07:00

In honor of the death of the police officer due to "friendly" fire. Apparantly some white cops shot a black cop in the back that they thought was a criminal ..

I wrote this blog 2 years ago and it made its way around the blogestsphere

Awwww Poor Lil' Piglets… Last week on Get It Poppin' Radio aka Da G.I.P., the discussion of the night turned towards the Police and why I hate the police so much.. and always say "See-A-Cop Pop-A-Cop". People that follow my career as a rapper, radio host and now by default, "activist" (What up Jessie Jess) know why I say what I say. I am tired of the constant police brutality that plagues the average citizen (Black or White) in this country. How many times do you hear about police beating up an innocent person, the rape of an innocent woman, the shooting of an unarmed innocent person for no reason in an excessive manner?

This needs to stop!

So on my show I defended my stance of killing cops and my argument is this: First of all, I do not advocate murder in any form unless it's self defense and even then, if you could incapacitate your attacker without killing them do so. But I do say if someone with a mental illness feels the need to commit random acts of violence I only ask that they limit their attacks to police officers. Simply put I feel it is poetic justice.

Now people say not all cops are bad. This is true, but as an organization, the Police Department nurtures a culture of abuse of power and lawlessness. Even during sentencing of crimes such as "Murder", "Drunk Driving", "Robbery" the years of service of an officer is taken into account and many times they receive a lesser sentence then your average citizen. Is this fair?

The Police Credo is "To serve and protect" but who are they serving? Not I! The one time I actually needed the police, the "service" was horrible. I reported my car stolen at 3PM .. (not to mention it was actually 2:00 when I went to the precinct and I sat there in line with no one else online behind or in front of me, mind you, for 10 minutes until this officer asked with an attitude; "How can I help you?" and then instructed me to return to the scene of the crime and call 911) … So I placed the call at 3PM and when did they show? 12 midnight.. and had the unmitigated gall to ask me and I quote "Who Stole Your Car??" lol

So I went on my rant last week (at Valentine & D.W.I.'s urging) and to be honest, of course it was a lil' to the far left for entertainment value.. (I am a Shock jock now lol) So now we have a few angry police officers or family or friends of police officer are threatening Da G.I.P. ahahah First Amendment Bitches!!!!

I mean, I have met a few cops who are decent people, my best friend and brother from another mother has been trying for 10 years to join the force (Why cause he is to quote Marc, a "Dumb-Ass") but .. How can you in good conscience join an organization with a history of abuse on the very same people they are supposed to protect? How many times (and this is for my hood people) have you known someone to be murdered and the case goes unsolved and the streets generally have to handle it.

Why is that? (For argument sake, is it because the streets handle it? Another debate perhaps) Why is it that the precinct is, let's say, between 7th & 8th Avenues and you have prostitution on 8th and the crack spot on 7th? They get a piece of that folks.. (New slang if it don't make sense it makes dollars) A few police officers now want to debate me on the radio (cool I invite that) others want to arrest me but admittedly can't again ahhahaha First Amendment Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man Listen.. My job is to invoke thought and debate and I'm glad now that everyone who was hating and calling for my death and or incarceration will be tuning in next week to see what I have to say next. But to the punk police.. I say take a good hard look at your own selves and organizations and ask yourself, why would so many people that are law abiding, hate you and your fellow officers so much.. See what you are really mad at is.. I am your worst nightmare ..

1) I have no record

2) I don't do any drugs

3) I am college educated

4) I am a Tax Payer

5) And In Entertainment

6) Can't forget this.. I'M BLACK

What can you say.. to me.. No, I'm not a criminal so when I say "pop a cop" it's scary because I'm an average Joe.. One of them people that our Middle East Friends Hates for their apparent freedom.. I would say this to Bin Laden and the boys.. If you hate us for our freedom, you need to pick of a new reason to hate us.. But we do still have the Freedom of Speech (so I can say "Pop a Cop") and of the Freedom of The Press.. (So I can say "Pop a Cop" on Radio) .. you gotta love America…

My little Brother The Buzzard ask me a question: "Do I enjoy all the parties and events I go too ?" My response was yea I guess but at times it gets tiring.

See one of my many hustles is event planning and party promotion. There is a certain thril envolved of organizing an event, book the venue, promoting for weeks then the day comes and you don't know what is going to happen. Will you a)Profit b) break even (we call it live to fight another day) or c) Bust

I been at all 3 spaces. but then comes the big events such as Last night @ Prime I was one of the promoters on the LLoyd Banks Bday bash which was filled beyond capicity. I couldn't really Enjoy myself why you ask?

Well ..

The security was extra thoro which caused an unbelievable delay of the light. People were waiting for 3 hours to get in. Texting and calling me .

Now I told everyone to be there @ 10 because I knew but still we had atleast 1200 black folk last night.

Now folks some nights in the promo game you are a Captin, other nights you are an ensign and anywhere between. I guess last night I was a Jr grade Leutenant . So I could walked people in with me but I couldn't very go outside cause then I have to it for everyone.

With that said the amount of vibrations my phones had ruined my night cause I would have loved to got everyone in. (Same thing happen at Jada's party the amount of Hate I received for that was crazy)

But it goes to the core no one wants to wait online

Sunday @ guesthouse the line was held up by 200 "superstars" rushing the front putting the admiral (hollywood chuck) under pressure with security and the police. Now I here I come Lt. Didda and I need to get in but can't get the Admiral's attention

So I chill across the street talking to passer buys inviting them to Banks party sitting calmly on the construction thingy. One of the punk police ask me if I'm waiting for someone I explain I'm promoting and directing my people to go on the line and not rush the front. (Bullshiting but I didn't feel like arguing with a cop and he did come at me very nice and respectful so I figured I would curtail my disgust for him and his cronnies)

So as I peep the "superstars" maybe 10 percent were bottle poppers most were just people who "knew the promoter" and wanted special treatment (duh of course you know the promoter that's the point!)

Its a culture in New York a mentality of "our" people which causes the party scene to be wack now a days and keep sensible people from wanted to come to my parties. The same mentality that is ruining the music

Everyone in New York is a Rapper, Singer, Model, super star mogul and want to be scene!

Last Night @ Prime was for me the worst because they Let everyone in the damn V.I.P. So V.I.P. Didda left V.I.P. And went to the bar and chilled before I said I'm done.

The ladies though sexy were also for the most part there to be seen and bag an industry nigga. (I wasn't in the mood for groupie love last night)

I ask myself is it cause I'm getting gulp "older" that the scene doesn't excite me ? That I'm not on the dancefloor pullin chicks like I did since 16 . No its the people

There was more people in the vip and directly outside vip then on the dance floor. Everyone on the blackberrys I'm like what the fuck is this?

No wonder the music in new york sucks cause no one knows how to party and feel good anymore.

There is no songs about meeting a sexy young lady in the club and you just have to get her number. And maybe nature takes it course and u have that one night stand. New york artist don't write that.

They write songs is all about poppin bottles in vip with a model argo the models are only fucking with the bottle poppers.

I'm not bitter cause yall know I pop bottles and bend nuff models I'm steppin back and looking at the people.

To qoute Dash from the Incredibles "if everyone is special then no one is special" what's wrong with being regular and just having fun and getting ur dance on?

Last week me and my homies left my Girl Jazz from Blackbuddafly bday bash and went to the bronx to a nice hole in the wall jamican club. Filled with killers and drug dealers my kinda people! Why cause they got money already and they don't need to waste time stunting. And girls were just girls not models, not singers just regular women looking to have fun.

What is it about the manhattan club scene? That we have to book a big draw come up with gimmicks just to break even?

5 years ago a big artist party would be few and far between . Maybe every 4 months now its every week. There was more concerts and shows back then . There was probably an after party for the people who went to the concert .

Is it cause these ringtone artist can't hold down a full performance? Is economics? I don't know what it is but its ruining music!

Its ruining parties!

Its ruining my fun! (Most importantly)

I'm gonna be the king of a city that's dull and boring. Superficial, corney and can't dance!

"This is not what I came here for"!

**Sorry for ranting I'm not even gonna spell check or NOTHING!! **

Venting while waiting for my client to get here.

Lost in the bronx

2009-04-17T12:03:00.001-07:00

Well folks if you are following me on twitter you would know I'm lost in the bronx.

Since I'm lost I figured I test out my new "mobile blogging"

Recently I moved to the upper bronx west-bubble-fuck-chesteter section of the birthplace of hip hop.

So I noticed that the bronx express bus the "bxm7" stops right by my new home. After my meeting downtown I decided to shave some time off and ride the express bus.

I loathe public transportation but for some reason I like the express busses probably because it reminds me of the greyhound bus.

*note I'm currently on another bus (regular bus) do to the fact no cabs were to be found. Currently passing by the matrix studio*

So I get on the bxm7 and off we go. Then as we approach the exit I notice we don't get off. So I say oh oh
Then I notice we are headed toward new england now I said hopefully we just stop @ coop city I get a cab .

No it kept going. Let me off in the middle of no where a part of the bronx I never seen before.

Bus driver says u should have got on the "7m1" I'm like wow thanks

So I walk to a bus stop and I decided to get on the first bus that will lead me to someplace familar .

I'm currently getting a tour of the upper bronx thankfully I'm off today..

THE BISHOP IS CROSSING AKA BLACK POWER???

2009-03-06T10:10:00.000-08:00

So the whole City is a "Twitter" about the Governor of New York State, Gov.
David Patterson's low approval ratings. A lot of people feel that black
people should support him and not be against him simply because he is the first Black Governor of New York.

My homegirl's position is to support him and be proud that he is our first
Black Governor . I am proud of this achievment however I am against Blind Racial Unity. I caught similar flack about my opposition to Rev. Al-Pportunist, and "Uncle Jessie" Jackson. I have always been skeptical of people in positions of power most likely they did someone dirty along the way to get there.

I was born in Harlem as a youth I was brought up in Harlem's famed
Abyssinian Baptist Church for those who don't know the History . The Pastor
of Abyssinian was Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Who's name is not only 7th
avenue in Harlem (Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd) but is also the Name of the State Building on 125th Street The headquarters of "The Clinton Foundation" .

Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Was the most powerful black man in America at one point. When President Kennedy or President Johnson needed Republican votes or Conservative Democrats support to pass civil rights legislation they would call Him. Powell was a Bridge between King and Malcolm X that's Power.

The legacy of my former church attracted several powerful black "leaders" and politicians . My Mother loves to the story of how at the age of 3 years old I was not impressed by Charles Rangel. I guess for a photo-op (you know kiss the babies, shake hands; I happened to be the baby) Mr. Rangel Picked me up and stood me up on a table and asked "Why are you on this table" my response "You put me here, who are you?" he goes on to say "My Name Is Charles B. Rangel, What is your Name?" My response "Jayson Timothy Butler" (with an attitude apparently) . The thing about me is for the most part I always been able to size up people and determine if they are genuine or not and if I felt you wasn't I tell you about yourself. As a grew I asked the right questions and look at peoples'history because 9 times out of 10 history repeats. So once I form an opinion about someone good or bad I'm very rarely wrong.

So now that I'm an adult an educated African American I like to use the term
"N.I.G.G.A. (Non Immigrant Gaining Gathering Achieving) I judge people;
especially those in position of power; on the Merits of their character and
the history of their actions.

As for David Patterson, when he was appointed as Governor after the debacle of then Governor Elliot Spitzer I was very excited. I said Yea man We got our first Black Governor and he a Resident of Harlem man listen I support anything harlem even Charles Hamilton lol. Everyone knew about his coke problem from his state congressional days but he always fought for Harlem, for education, for health care, for welfare. Now David Patterson is trying to coast his way
into holding on to the office. He forgot why he went to Albany in the first place.

Patterson is a Brilliant Harlem politician he comes from the school of Adam
Powell and "Old Fashioned Harlem Politics". To Understand "Harlem Politics" you must understand the "Robin Hood theory". Not just rob the rich to give to the poor but use the criminals to fund your operation that will ultimately rob the rich. Robin Hood's Merry men where criminals before Robin met them. See folks the Charles Rangels, The David Dickens, and so on are all Direct Reflections of the "positive" impact of Gangsters such as Frank Lucas, Nicki Barnes and them. Oh I can hear you know "But they killed their own people" So did the Kennedys ! Look America is a "Gangsterized" Nation always been. We stole this country from Britain and then the Indians and Built every brick on the backs of Slavery, Piracy, Bootlegging, and Drugs let's be real.

Back to Patterson his main goal right now is to Remain Governor. He knows that he is an accidental Governor and he also knows that the Democratic Brand in the outer regions of New York has taking a beating thanks to Spitzer. So he is running towards the "Right". Feeling the City will give him a pass because he
is a minority . Now this Strategy may ultimately work but not for me.

Anyone who understands NY politics knows that upstate is the swing region.
And they tend to be very conservative. And they have a slight bias against
the City. So Gov. Patterson's policy of basically making the city suffer more during his "belt tighting" during our current economic situation is terrible. He is against raising the Housing Tax (where are the most homes?) but will raise our MTA/Transit Rates putting tolls on every bridge and putting a tax on "to go items" such as soda, Starbucks coffee etc." . Those things honestly I can stomach . But when our President sends Money to New York specifically for Health care, welfare and education and you still cut such programs Ihave a problem with you.

Now this Blog isn't specifically about Patterson it is about people who feel
that we as Black people should "Blindly (pun intended) follow and support
someone just because he is Black. That Brings me to Barack Obama now I know
"My President is Black and my lambo blue... " And all that... but too often during the campaign I would ask people why are you voting for Barack over Hillary and the answer is because he is Black. A lot of His supporters didn't even
bother to go on his website and read up on his platform.

Now that he is "on the job" there is a since from "My People" (and I use
that term loosely) that: " We gonna be good cause Barack Got us!" And its
almost Blasphemy to question him on some "Key Issues" such as how do you pick Tim Gietner as your Secretary of Treasury, when he was head of the NY Dept of Treasury and over saw the Wall Street Meltdown that basically helped to
start this mess.

See folks money no longer backed by gold it is backed by debt. I have 100 pieces of paper worth 100 dollars in my pocket because somewhere out there 100 people owe me 1 dollar. Its not that simple but that's the basic gist. So now the Stock Market needed to continue to make money so it was allowed to "speculate on debt" which
means the housing market. Not just during the Bush years now this goes way back

You see when Nixon took us off the Gold standard that set off a chain reaction that ballooned the price of Housing like 500 percent since the 1960's. Remember Raisen In The Sun they brought the house for 10 grand ? Now that's not even a down payment. (Well not Detroit they got spots for 18,000 its bad!) Why the drastic change? Because money must be backed by something and now it is your House . And we don't
even own that thanks to the Supreme Court (google "Imminent Domain")

So Obama you picked for your "Financial General" in this "Economic War"a man who helped get us in the mess that we are in. Why? Well you know what I say this is all part of the plan to lead us towards the "Amero" and eventually One World Government, but I will digress because most people don't wanna believe this and dismiss it as conspiracy theory so for argument sake I say its not a plan its just incompetence.

So the Question remains why ? Barack pick for Treasury secretary a
person who didn't help to prevent the "crash" furthermore he is a lifetime
tax evader and you put him in charge of the IRS with the mandate to increase
audits on tax evaders lol that's called Hypocrisy! But black folk say oh well that's Barack our "Black President". No that's our employee and we must hold him accountable. Like any white man.

You Can't Blindly Follow!

Why is he against prosecuting the Bush administration for war crimes? Hmm

These are things you have to pay attention to. Just don't celebrate the fact that we got someone that looks like us in the White House.

I don't believe anyone should have a benefit of the doubt when they are in a
position to effect Millions or Billions of lives. Do you give your Black
boss the benefit of the doubt when he messes up and blames you? Do you say:
"well he a brother so its alright" ? No!

You Can't Blindly Follow!

The jury is still out on Barack he may be thinking that this Economic
crisis was caused by "Crooks" so I need a "Smart Crook" to get us out of this. But Tim Gietner said "He does not have the details of the plan to get us out of the Recession" WHAT!! People are getting food drops in the Midwest and you don't have a plan yet? I hope Obama has him on a short leash.

We Can't Blindly Follow!

Al Sharpton says march and Negros march, Charles Rangel Says support this
Bill and we write letters to Congress, cause Rangel says so. But where is Rangel as Harlem is turning into "Morningside Heights" and SoHa ? Where is he when we loosing landmark black business black jobs for Starbucks and other franchises. No where!

We Can't Blindly follow!

When Al-Pportunist gets a kick back and says he is satisfied with the
"remorseful-ness of some company that did something racist" and he calls off
the protest but he essentially got brought off. He is no better then them Human rights/Labor people who puts the Big Rat in front of the Building in protest to discrimination or health concerns. You pay them off they go away. We must not Blindly follow and say well I'm black and I'm going to support any thing black when that black person will lead you over a cliff.

Remember the African Kings sold us into Slavery and/or allowed the Whites to
steal us from our home. Not all black kings but a good amount so folks

You Can't Blindly Follow!

The Bishop is Crossing aka Say Hello to the Bad Guy

2009-02-20T08:03:00.001-08:00

The Bishop is Crossing aka Say Hello to the Bad Guy

(My letter to Rev. Sharpton)

Hello Rev. Al-Opportunist,

I will start my letter with a quote from Jay-Z "If Al Sharpton is speaking for me tell him I don't approve"

First and foremost I stand with you in opposition to the new york post and there racist leaning cartoon depicting our president as a monkey. Now we all know that News Corp and the New York post has a history of subliminal racist rhetoric . So I applaud you for "leading the charge"

However I question your motives. Are your truly offended or is this just another example of your ambulance chasing, publicity seeking modus-operandi?

I posted a twit today (that's a micro blog on the social website Twitter) addressing you by the "pet name" I have for you. (Rev. Al-Pportunist) asking a simple question. "Where are you on the issue of Gov. Patterson's proposed budget cuts on health care and education? Or the mta fair hikes?
And received a hate message in defense of you.

Dear "Reverend" where are you on issues that effect the working and working poor class of all races in this city, hell In this country. Granted in regards to police brutality you are there to organize and have folk marching .( My feelings for the punk police are well documented), However You sir are in a position to do more then just add lip service to such an important issue your "action network" doesn't lobby local congress to impose tougher laws on the police, now you have promised to force the State and City Councils and Assembly for years to write tougher laws. But nothing has happened yet. No pressure

I give you credit on working to repeal the Rockefeller drug laws. But again that was a movement you kind of hitched on to, riding the coat tails looking for another media sound bite.

You sir are a natural entertainer. It is no wonder that your "mentor" was the great James Brown . Who is the godfather of soul and arguably the Grandfather of hip hop but also He was a wife beater and had many unscrupulous business dealings.

Yesterday I was watching Boston Legal one of the only good shows on tv (recently ended it's run) and you had a hilarious cameo playing yourself. The premise folks was a case involving a woman suing the Broadway play "Annie" for not choosing a black girl to play Annie who was obviously a better singer and dancer then the white girl who won. "Al-Pportunist" put on a show much like he does in real life. He argued against the hypocrisy of "Separate-But-Not-Equal", Using the metaphor of the feature song "Tomorrow" saying Blacks are tired of waiting for tomorrow and want today. "We want a Black Spiderman, a Back Superman, Why can't we represent Americana" Ultimately this forced a settlement in the favor of the little black girl. Funny right? Art imitates life or is it simply a case of the trivializing of trivial glory hound?

My disapproval of the "Reverend" goes back to the age of five years old. Growing up in a church and understanding that a man of god should carry themselves a certain way, with honor and dignity; to turn the other cheek and all that good stuff. See I was weird child I watched as much news as I did cartoons and I liked talk shows . So watching the Morton Downey Jr show I see two Reverends Roy Ennis and Sharpton, two men of the cloth fighting hitting each other with the cheers of the crowd as a backdrop (Jerry! Jerry! That started it) So I questioned you and looked at you skeptically. Strike 1

Strike 2 came with the rush to defend Tawanna Brawly . Not that I blamed you or considered you in collusion with her lying about her rape. But your lack of intelligence. It never accord to you that maybe proper due diligence proper vetting of the girls story was in order before you go leading black people over a cliff and embarrassing us.

At this point I considered you just a bad politician and community leader but meant well. Strike 3 came when you decided to run for Mayor of the great City of new york. In a primary town hall debate a young black man 25 or so asked you politely "Why sir do you feel qualified to hold such a high position. Do you not feel perhaps you should run for local government first gain experience then run for Mayor?" Your response: what is that you do young man?( I do not remember what he did) I won't tell you how to do your job don't tell me how to do mine!

That moment I knew that Rev Al-Pportunist was and arrogant egotistical media hound who doesn't want to truly participate in civil service. Granted politicians aren't always the best thing what did Elijah tell Malcolm? "Them cameras can be as intoxicating or more intoxicating then any drug"

"Reverend" and I use that word loosely in regards to you because I have yet to hear you actually preach a sermon. Now at James Brown's funeral you quoted some scripture here and there, and mind you folks I am no "Christian" I am a spiritualist I believe religion in its organized form is the worst invention man has ever concocted because it is used to manipulate the weak minded and elevate the power seekers. Now obviously this isn't an absolute . I am not painting all Reverends, Imans, priest etc. With a broad brush. But its 50/50 as to the piety of these men and women who lead "the flock" (and I'm being generous with 50/50) A. Rupen Neighburm said "Religion is a good thing for good people and a bad thing for bad people"

Now I know you would read this and dismiss me as a "rapper" who degrades women and uses the word Nigga etc. But I remember you was once caught on tape using the word nigga as was your counterpart "uncle Jessie" aka Jessie Jackson. You my friend are nothing more then a pawn. A documented former informant for the FBI. The streets would call you snitch. You was offered a deal to avoid jail for tax evasion.

The "Nigga" issue was a bandwagon, hot button issue you jumped on to distract and to divide our people (minorities) not by class but more importantly by generation. The older folks are offended (and some young people) and attacking my generation and hip hop for its use of the word. A very old argument older then me. Each generation finds something that offends them that the new generation is doing. As much as I love Bill Cosby he too is not immune because he forgets the movies he starred in, such as "Uptown Saturday Night" when he used the word in the same way I do. Where did we learn it from?

Instead of having a civil discussion with the hip hop industry you attack, you march and you rally until record labels donate money to your "action network" and promise to "cut down on the word" that's extortion folks. Google the "Al Sharpton Extortionist" and you will find several articles some exagerated but where there is smoke.. There is fire. Notice how the "N" word controversy has died down from your platform of social change in our community since the Election why? Because the Democrats needed hip hop and the youth to get Barack Elected. You my good "Reverend" raised money and appeared on the same stage with rappers you threw under the bus during the Imus scandal. Who you called "disgraces to the race" We call that Hypocrisy

Now I know I'm rambling a bit but I just wanted to showcase how two faced our "community leader is" .

So today you marched against the post for a lord-able cause the depiction of Obama as a monkey. As I stated before I am offended. But Barack has released no statement about the matter . Why because he has bigger fish to fry . We have bigger fish to fry in our city. Obama Is the most powerful person on the planet he can defend himself. Hell The Patriot Act is still in effect He can have the cartoonist jailed for threating the Commander In Chief. If You want to defend Obama Defend him on the stimulus Package, On the Housing Reform Bill. Help him get universal healthcare, If only atleast for the Babies. Where is the the community organzing to pressure these republicans to vote for the change we voted for.

I say defend those who cannot defend themselves. When Harlem is being "white washed" Blacks are being forced out economically where is the outrage? . Not being racist but when Brad and Angie move uptown and the Historic Copeland's restaurant closes its doors I wanna see some marching! I wanna see my black activist stand up and ask why can't black people afford to live in Harlem?
Why is it that Black businesses cannot receive a bail out ?

Again I am not downgrading the problems of race in these country. I am not saying that this issue isn't and important issue I am against the messenger>

Yes I'm an entertainer. I am a songwriter/producer oh and a "Rapper" (he uses that word like its a curse word) and also a radio and tv personality so by definition I have a bully pulpit as well though I'm not as big of a bully as your (Yet!) I have a few thousand who tune in to hear me speak every week
So I ask you sir at a time when minorities are suffering more then any other group during this "economic crisis" where are you on issues that truly matter? I implore you to use your position for the good of the people and not as a tool of the system. I question your integrity, I question your courage, I question your loyalty, I question your motives. Reverend Al-Pportunist to many good natured non-racist white people you have become the boy who cried wolf. If you only march against media hot-button issues you become marginal, King March for everything injustice. Organzied people of all creeds even if it didnt directly effect the black community.We have serious concerns to deal with now.

After all this is 2009 we have new issues to deal with. White men been calling black men monkeys since they stumbled on to Africa. Doesn't make it right doesn't mean its not offensive or ignorant it just isn't worth the time. "I was man said don't argue with fools because people from a distance can't tell who is who" I end as I began quoting Jay-Z

Be Thankful for "Small Blessings" a note to Fate

In response to Fate's Blog

First and for most I will post fate's blog

To comment go to fatemeetsworld.blogspot.com

IF I CAN, WHY CAN'T YOU? The reason for me writing this blog, is because of a recent conversation that I had with a very good friend. During the conversation he kept stating how bad his luck was and "he wishes he was as blessed and rich as I was". That comment really got me upset. First and foremost, contrary to many beliefs (that includes you didda) I am NOT rich... I'm far from it (im not broke either don't get it twisted) and I have been far from blessed. Everything I have gotten I have hustled for. I admit life is very good for me at the moment but that's only because i never lost desire, I NEVER LOST FOCUS TO GET OUT OF MY PERSONAL HELL... i never lost the hunger for more. I constantly am searching for ways to better my life. If i can do it why can't you?getting rich is not something that only a few fortunate people are destined to be. there is a difference between those people and people like us. no, its not that they all had great ideas or inventions (I'm sure we all do as well) but the difference is that they decided to NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS AND GO FOR IT!I know it sounds very cliche, but thats the truth. if you WANT to be rich, you need to go out and do it. its that simple...you have an idea for a clothing line, movie script, invention etc... well what are u waiting for? stop procrastinating and do it.the worst thing that can ever happen to us in life is to fall into the "trap of society" as I like to call it and settle at some 9-5 job for the rest of your life. anybody who has made money has one thing in common, they broke away from society's standards and took their own risks. Taking risks is the key to getting money. the reason you see that 38 year old guy working in a supermarket is because he never had the desire or will power to get rich. Its not because he didn't have an amazing idea or concept - he probably did, but he was probably scared to actually bring it to fruition... This is the ONLY difference, between those who made money and those who haven't yet. its THAT simple Posted by Anthony "Fate" Lynch

Now that his fake republican bullshit has been showcased . Yes Fate u are Rich and Blessed example number 1 his ringtone is the million dollar man song
Example 2 he dresses like a cross between scrooge Mcduck and Puffy

You are blessed because he was able to cultivate his talent and break into an idustry during its golden goose era.

Anthony fate lynch is Blessed because he is alive. Cancer, gunshots, blindness near death car accidents. One of the reasons stuff happens to mr lynch is because the Universe or god or whoever is trying to keep his vast ego humbled . Lol

Real talk we are all blessed some more then others because people have purposes on this planet . Everyone is on this earth for a reason even if its a bad example.

That 38 yearold is blessed because he isn't on welfare . He is probably a damaged person.

Not everyone is exceptional . Not everyone has exceptional talents or abilities. Some people are just There and average . And it is for the exceptional people to keep the world going , that is a blessing.

Until we realize that we are blessed won't be able to grow as a race a human race.

And our "blessings" will be taking from us.

"Pride comes before the fall " and "Self praise is No Grace"

Oh and you are Blessed because u have people that consider u a brother inspite of yourself hahahaha

The Bishop IS Crossing aka "My President Is Black"

2008-11-05T18:59:00.000-08:00

This is for our children our Black children. Today I have to be racial about this. This day doesn't have the same significance for a Latino child or for an African immigrant even. Africa has had their presidents. This is a man who even though his father is from Kenya . His mother grew up during the civil rights struggle and took a risk to even bring this boy into existence .

This day is for all of us who are descendants of slaves. Last night Harlem if you was watching tv you would see the faces of the babies . The black kids teenagers crying and screaming . For us for my people this represents something we never had "hope" .

Jay-z said all us blacks have is sports and entertainment until we are even. If you look at our black wealth you see Oprah, Bill Cosby, Russell Simmons, Bob Johnson, most recently Sean Combs and Shawn Carter.

Now the 8 year old black boy or the 14 year old black girl can literary believe that the color of their skin doesn't limit them.

My Latino friends I am not being racist for leaving you out . but the Hispanic calls Puerto Rico home first, calls Mexico home first, calls the Dominican republic home first, and etc not saying that you don't love this country. But when a people has a since of belonging of something to look back in there history and say yea my people has a country it effects a mentality of a people differently.

African Americans came up from the ashes of slavery. From the brutality of Jim Crowe. The united states conscience and shame has always effected the way this country deal with "us" today hopefully is the step forward to finally letting go (on both sides) of the slavery and the Jim crowe years

Today is a great day for our country and my people. and most importantly the children. All children of all races. But this day truly effects us more.

GET IT POPPIN’ RADIO AKA DA G.I.P. & L.Y.F.E.S.U.X. TV PRESENTS: "MY VOTE COUNTS" 2008 ELECTION PLATFORM DEBATE NOVEMBER 1 @ THE LEGENDARY SHOUMBURG CENTER FOR BLACK RESEARCH IN HARLEM!!!

My Vote Counts 2008 Presidential Platform Debate
Saturday November 1st, 2008 12pm to 4pm
Schomburg Center for Black Research
515 Malcolm X Boulevard
New York, NY 10037-1801
(212) 491-2200

Change is coming. We are on the verge of an unprecedented and historic presidential election. No matter which party wins, the victors will be breaking ground in American history and changing the U.S. political landscape. It is up to us to make the choice that will change America forever.

And while every election holds tremendous importance for the direction of our nation, the electricity surrounding this 2008 campaign is fueled by more media coverage, novelty candidates and celebrity interest than ever.

Where do you stand?

Too often young adults lose their voice in the political process and dismiss their opportunity to vote, as if it doesn't matter. Or they fail to see any real difference in the candidates, leading to a disinterest in the process. But No More! Young minds all over the nation, understand that this election is different. It is an election that brings the opinion and power of young voters to the forefront. It is a neck-and-neck battle and every vote truly does count. The young vote - in the past ignored and taken for granted - can be the voting demographic that decides this election. Youngsters have gathered in droves throughout the country to stand up and be heard, and this November they will make the choice that will affect America forever. They are proving they want to start being part of the future solution, now!!

To make such a decision one must know as much about the candidate's platforms, goals and political track records as possible. Therefore, Get It Poppin' Radio aka Da G.I.P. & L.Y.F.E.S.U.X. Television in conjunction with Didda D.I.D.-IT Production, NBM Publicity & L.Y.F.E. Productionz Presents
"MY VOTE COUNTS" 2008 Election Platform debate.

Presidential Candidates Democrat Barack Obama & Republican John McCain have separate and distinct ideas on the direction of the country. At a time when our country faces unprecedented economic divisions, war, an energy crisis, and environmental strife, the decision we make is crucial. This debate is designed to empower and inform the often disenfranchised and disinterested youth.

This Town hall debate will consist of Representatives of both major parties and focus on 3 major topics that tend to affect the urban and working class communities more than other groups.
1) Education
2) Economics
3) Civil liberties

We will also have a few questions from the crowd. Our intention is to have an audience of Independent, Democratic and Republican leading potential voters. An event of this magnitude will assist in educating first time voters or people approaching voting age, and engaging them in the political process.

The debate will be held at the legendary Schomburg Center for Research In Black Culture and broadcasted via video conferencing with various colleges throughout Queens and Brooklyn as well as universities in Atlanta, GA. The debate will also be heard and seen on both Get It Poppin' Radio aka Da G.I.P. & L.Y.F.E S.U.X TV as well as any other major local media outlets.

We will also have a special musical performance and influential guest speakers spanning politics and entertainment.

TAVIS SMILEY ON JAMIE FOXX RADIO SHOW "THE FOXXHOLE"

2008-10-21T08:52:00.000-07:00

Okay so you know I was on the road this weekend went down to Howard University’s Homecoming. The best thing about driving down to DC is I get to listen to my Sirrus Radio, and I love the Foxx Hole Radio show. Jamie Foxx had a special call in from Mr. Tavis Smiley . The past two years Barack Obama didn’t attended Tavis Smiley’s State of the Black Union symposium. Now a lot of people say its politics and Barack did not want to be on the stage with some “Black Radicals”

Jamie Foxx has been supporting Barry O since day one and they kind of got into a heated discussion about “Black Support for Obama” and The balance between “Racial Unity and True Journalism”

You know I haven't wrote a "meaningless" blog in years. I know everytime I blog there is a purpose. I figure since people actually pay attention to what I say or do or write i might as well blog things of substances. I save my personal thoughts for that personal page that I dont blog on lol..

anyway I'm tired folks I am also very energenic have you ever had that pardox?

Bout to go out to DC for the Homecoming this time we are going deep..

There has to be 120 of my associates and friends that are embarking on this prilgrimage to the chocolate city..

Same Rules applies. Get drunk, Have fun, bag "co-eds" and of course ...

and Try and not get to Nostalgic .. (Those that knows me knows...)

In retrospect i'm in a better mood .. I'm happy with the way the Street album is coming along and I feel that i am in a zone as far as creativily

I also am enjoying righting these Records that are pop and R&B and shopping them .. is it that i'm getting soft ? or is it the checks?

yep its the checks lol.. anyway follow me on twitter, twitter.com/jdidda

and Tales from the homecoming '08 will be coming and thanks to Twitter I can do a real time chronicle of events instead of trying to remember..

Barack Vs 50-Cent in Response to Ras.

2008-10-13T10:48:00.000-07:00

Barack Vs 50-Cent in Response to Ras.

Barack Vs 50-Cent in Response to Ras.
I wonder if you watched it?? The Barack 50 comparision is very valid because Barack could have very easily been 50 cent and vice versa circumstances make you what u are. the problem with people is they do not understand what its like to be a black man in america. Its different then being any other minority i dont care what you say about we over came and blah blah .
America itself is a complicated place and the relationship between Ameirca and its black/African American population is a complicated one. Asians, Latinos, even west Indians (of African Decent) say I don’t understand blacks we can to this country and we grind and look I own a store or built a business, have property. And I came to this country and look what we have done in a short amount of time. They go on to say You African Americans have been here forever and cant do what we’ve done. Now not all people say that but lets be frank about this. Any Immigrant for the most part that came to this country came with something. Even if they “illegal” What did the Black person have after slavery? Nothing not one thing, but the skin on their backs!

The South was destroyed after the civil war the economy in the southern states in shambles but “we” survived. Blacks were giving position in the congress during the reconstruction era only because all the white representatives were considered traitors and where either dead or in Jail. And Southern whites lost the right to vote during this era. So who was left to Govern? The Blacks. Now African Americans didn’t have the right to vote in congress but atleast they could speak right as if their fellow congressman cared to listen.
This is History folks. Its not excuses.
Andrew Johnson was impeached but not convicted and thus removed from the Presidency . In order to keep the congress from gaining the “two-thirds” Majority Vote needed a deal was struck and Johnson ended “reconstruction” Pardoned nearly all confederates which gave The former confederates (Slave owners) back their governing authority. Blacks being the Minority were voted out of governing positions new laws (Jim Crowe) were in-acted that hampered blacks development as social and economic force. Whites were afraid at the accomplishments Blacks had made in a short period of time . Reconstruction was only 10 years. And in less then 2 all of that progress was un-done.
The American experience so to speak is of hypocracy The government for the most part has always been controlled by “southern White Men” Why do you think Most of our Presidents have been southern. The Southern people where the first to settle the mid-west for the most part. The west coast . Southern interests and Ideals have shaped the fundamental politics and governing practices of our nation since the civil war. There has always been this undertone of Fear of the African American especially The African American Male. Southerners own conscience has always been something they try to suppress throughout history. The Fear that one day the Blacks will rise up and take revenge for the enslavement of their ancestors is a Very real subconscious Fear that a lot of White people today have.

Politicians play on that fear to keep themselves in power. Thus they promote the most ignorant the most negative of us as an example of what it means to be black. Think about it how the hell is Flava Flav a star? Why would Chuck D. be allowed to speak his black upliftment messages but only if he allowed a “coon” to be his hype man?

Black people have to “Play Dumb to Catch Wise”. In order to get a job or keep a job in corporate America we have to soften our tone when we speak. Work twice as hard just to be on equal footing. So it’s a game of personally endurance why do you think black men die at 55,60? So a 50-cent could have easily been a Barack Obama or vice versa.

Lets say Young Curtis Jackson’s mother wasn’t a drug dealer and was an educated woman? Lets say Curtis had a grand parent that he went to live with that wasn’t living in south Jamaica queens? Exposed to “middle class values” and higher public education. We all know the school system budget is based on property taxes. So if you living in a neighborhood or state that pays more local property taxes per-capta the schools will be better.

On the flip side lets Imagine Young Barry O’s parents stayed together just a little bit longer. They moved to Harlem. It is documented that Barack Obama Sr. had a serious drinking problem and died a broken man. So lets say he was in the picture during his downward spiral. Who do you think would suffer the most being raised in that unstable environment. ?

What I’m saying People is that a “50-cent” a thug person is the same as that “Barack Obama”. So parents your 3 year old boy that is sweet and innocent can grow up to be a menance to society or the next president of the United States.

It’s Life

SARAH PALIN IS THE REAL TERRORIST

2008-10-09T08:19:00.000-07:00

Is Alaska the 49th state, or a rogue state? Sarah Palin's pals seem to be planning to secede or attack. We can't tell, but the music makes that old Santa Claus guy appear more chilling than the bailout. Don't forget, Palin commands an Army, according to her. One quick march through Canada, and they can seize Seattle.
Now Gov. Ding Bat has been calling Obama a Sympathizer and that he “Pals Around with Terrorists” But Palin is a Ranking Member of the Alsakan Independent movement you know what that means she is a secessionist. How can you love a country you want to break away from??
“Thou Shalt not throw Unpatriotic stones in glass ding bat cages”

2008-10-01T07:32:00.000-07:00

WATCHING SARAH PALIN LATELY INSPIRED ME TO WRITE AN EDITORIAL AND BIG CED SAID I BEEN SLACKING SO HERE YOU GO..

FULL INTERVIEW WITH KATIE COURIC

NOTICE HOW PALIN CAN’T NAME A SINGLE NEWSPAPER SHE READS. SHE IS SO DUMB IT IS UNBELIEVABLE; IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT HOW INTELLIGENT THE FOLKS IN ALASKA ARE. BUT I DO HAVE A FEELING THAT SHE IS PLAYING DUMB TO CATCH WISE MY HOMIE JOE BIDEN BETTER BE CAREFUL I THINK THE REPUBLICANS STRATEGY IS FOR HER TO APPEAR SO DUMB AND SAY SO MANY BIZZARE THINGS IN ORDER TO LOWER HER EXPECTATIONS FOR TOMORROW NIGHT . THE PUNDITS ARE ALREADY SAYING THAT ALL SARAH PALIN HAS TO DO IS SAY HER NAME RIGHT AND SHE WON THE DEBATE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

WATCH THE INTERVIEW AND I FEEL BAD FOR KATIE COURIC THEN READ MY BLOG ON THE SUBJECT

THE BISHOP IS CROSSING (10/01/08) AKA COMMAND DECISION

THIS COUNTRY IS AT A STRANGE POINT IN IT’S HISTORY WHEN YOU HAVE A WOMAN WHO IS RUNNING TO BE THE VICE PRESIDENT, NEXT IN LINE TO A TWO TIME CANCER HAVING 72 YEAR OLD MAN WHO JUST AS RECENT AS THIS YEAR HAD SOME LYMPHATIC TISSUE REMOVED FROM HIS FACE. I ADMIT I USED TO LIKE JOHN MCCAIN IN 2000, IF HE RAN AGAINST AL GORE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CHOOSE.

THE REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE ISN’T ALWAYS A BAD THING. AT TIMES OF PROSPERITY AND WHEN THERE IS AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH IS A GOOD APPROACH. (IE) TEDDY ROOSEVELT (MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT) . BUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY USED TO ALSO BE PROGRESSIVE, “MAVERICK” IF YOU WILL. THE “PROGRESSIVE” WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY UNDERSTOOD THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL “THEMSELVES UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS”. WHEN TEDDY BROKE AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HE TOOK THE PROGRESSIVE WING WITH HIM. SOME WENT TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (IE) F.D.R.; OTHERS STAYED BUT DIDN’T HAVE A VOICE AND SOME SIMPLY ARE NOWWHAT YOU CONSIDER THE GREEN AND INDEPENDENT PARTY MEMBERS (IE) JESSIE VENTURA AND YES EVEN LOU DOBBS.

JOHN MCCAIN USED TO BE ONE OF THE LAST OF THE OLD SCHOOL REPUBLICANS (VERY OLD SCHOOL). WHO UNDERSTOOD YOU CAN HAVE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS BUT THEY DO NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO ALL OF AMERICA. AMERICA IS DESIGNED THAT DIFFERENT STATES HAVE DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT REASONS WE GET INTO TROUBLE WHEN WE TRY TO UNIFY (NOT SAYING THAT ALL UNIFICATION ISN’T BAD JUST STATING A FACT) BUT THAT’S WHERE YOU HAVE THE NOTION OF “TWO AMERICAS” THERE ARE REALLY ABOUT 5 OR 6 .

JOHN MCCAIN ONCE FLIRTED WITH JOINING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. NOW THE “JOHN MCCAIN” YOU GET IS A MAN WHO JUST WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT AT ALL COSTS BEFORE HE DIES. I FEEL HIM HE SPENT 5 YEARS IN A WAR CAMP BEATING DAILY TORTURED ETC. SO HE FEELS AMERICA OWES HIM THIS. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES HE ONCE DID HE WILL SAY ANYTHING THAT’S POPULAR TO GET THE VOTE. IF OBAMA SAYS LETS RAISE THE FEDERAL BANK PROTECTION FROM 100,000 TO 250,000 MCCAIN SAYS THE SAME THING. OBAMA WANTS TO REFORM VETERAN RIGHTS MCCAIN IS GOING TO REFORM VETERAN’S RIGHTS .

IT IS DISHEARTENING THAT A MAN WHO IS A “PATRIOT” WOULD COMMIT SUCH AN ACT OF “PATRIOTIC MALPRACTICE” AS TO SUBMIT THIS WOMAN SARAH PALIN FOR THE NOMINATION OF THE SECOND HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND. THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL PERSON ON THE FACE OF OUR PLANET! THIS COMING FROM A MAN WHO HAS SAID; “THAT AT 72 YEARS I WOULD BE DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IF I STAYED IN OFFICE FOR MORE THEN ONE TERM.”

PEOPLE HE DOESN’T FEEL HE CAN MAKE IT PASSED 77 YEARS OLD !!!

HE WON’T RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS..

HE KEEPS SHUFFLING HIS 100 YEAR OLD MOTHER OUT LIKE LOOK ITS IN THE GENES..

LOOK I AM SO CONFLICTED THIS POLITICAL SEASON MY GUT TELLS ME THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER THAT PRESIDENTS ARE CHOSEN AND NOT ELECTED. AND I STILL GOT A “WAIT AND SEE” ATTITUDE ABOUT OBAMA NOT BEING THE “ANTI-CHRIST” OR A ‘MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE IF YOU WILL. BUT LOOK AT OUR CHOICES LOOK WHAT 8 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE HAS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY.

IN THE LONG TERM MY FEARS MY “PARANOIA” MIGHT BE CORRECT BUT IN THE SHORT TERM I’M MOVING OUT OF THE UNITED STATES IF MCCAIN WINS FUCK RAP, FUCK RADIO, FUCK TRYING TO DELIVER A MESSAGE TO OUR PEOPLE THRU MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT I’M OUT.

WITH THE CHOICE OF GOV. SARAH PALIN AS V.P. IT PROVES THAT JOHN WASN’T PICKING SOMEONE THAT COULD HELP GOVERN. I DON’T THINK THE DAMN WOMAN COULD EVEN MAKE COFFEE RIGHT. NO I’M NOT A SEXIST BUT I’M SAYING, SHE IS JUST EYE CANDY. THEY PICKED A WOMAN TO GET THE IDIOT WOMEN WHO ONLY SUPPORTED HILARY BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN. AND HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET THAT IF HILARY WON MCCAIN WOULD HAVE FOUND SOME NO ACCOUNT BLACK PERSON TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE AND A BLACK WOMAN AT THAT SECRETARY CONDOLEEZZA RICE , REMEMBER HER?? HOW COME YOU AINT SEE HER LATELY?? WHERE DID SHE GO?? SHE WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS WHEN CLINTON WAS WINNING. DO THE MATH PEOPLE.

MY PEOPLE REGISTRATION IS OVER OCT 6, REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE FOR OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN. MAKE SURE YOU RIGHT WITH GOD, JESUS, ALLAH, JAH RASTAFARI OR WHOEVER AND IF BARRY O. MAKES THAT SPEECH TALKING ABOUT GO GET A CHIP PUT IN YOUR HEAD THEN ITS TIME TO TAKE HIM OUT MARTIN LUTHER KING STYLE LOL..
