SuperBowl 43

apademik — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 20:51:13 +0000

When I was Born In 1978 my brothers gave me a Pittsburgh Steelers bag, so you know I am rooting for the Steelers. Honestly I haven;t watched a Superbowl in over three years..ALWAYS MUSIC!!!!!!No time for side distractions.

I do know one thing, even the Pittsburgh Steelers watched the footage of the worst teams in the league. It was real hard for them to sit there and watch their sloppy moves, but they do it. The Coach, the cat who runs the team makes them do that.

I heard on NPR the team they are playing, models themselves after the Steelers. But the Pittsburgh Steelers have the advantage. They been doing it for longer, they are better, they have a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, I mean better support staff. Pittsburgh all the way..

You know I;m gonna ending plugging my LOVE!!!!!

The Art Of Turntablism

apademik — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:52:41 +0000

The art of Tunrtablism is a Hip-Hop born term. Turntablism, as defined by me, is being able to manipulate two (or one) turntable efficiently enough to play the turntables as if they were a trumpet or saxophone….

I am a little “Old School” and started spinning in 1998, when we had to buy wax. Spinning meant being able to manipulate wax. No Serato, no punch buttons, no programming your juggling on the computer so it’s “automated”, actually being able to mix wax…

From experience, the best DJ’s seem to have learned on wax. The analogy I cam up with is this. Learning to spin on wax, is like learning to drive a car with a manual transmission, no power windows, and no power steering. Once you learn that you can drive a Yugo to a Mercedes. Anything.

Unfortunately some of the art is getting lost. The mixes are getting iller, but the talent of the Newer school DJ’s is not comparible to the DJ’s who learned on wax…

Shout out to the DJ’s who stil;l spin on wax without using a CPU to guide you,and shout out to the DJ;s who use The new technology, but can still serve it on the wax, without the assistance of a CPU.

And I would like to point out one more thing. If you did not start spinning on wax, you are not any less Hip-Hop, but definetely show MUCH RESPECT to your predecessors.

But you ain’t driving my car if you learned on a time code or CDJ…lol

Peace,

7 Profitz “The Way It Goes”

Great Job Long Island, keep the Long Island movement going…

Now it is time for me to Officially declare a new Movement. I call it the “Truth Movement”. I think all forms of lying should completely be outlawed, illegal. GO to wiki, and search lying, it breaks down all sorts of types of lies. It is against God’s law, why is it not against man’s??

No more drinking for Hip-Hop

apademik — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:22:07 +0000

My message to all MC’s,DJ’s, and Breakers. No more drinking before your performance. It makes you look, and sound let’s just say, not good. Industry wide this is encouraged. It is time to teach our youth, not cloud there mind with the thoughts that drinking poisin will make them more Hip-Hop. Corny, clouding your mind with liquor, disturbs a focused mind. Can the student turn to teacher if the teacher misled??

Commercial Hip Hop’s Hidden agenda

apademik — Sun, 18 May 2008 17:51:01 +0000

The reason why every commercial rapper rhymes about Bling, And every girls is a “B”, and they drop “F” bombs, and “N” Bombs. Well here is what is really happening. Hip Hop was turned into a “I am better than you Competition”, what a distraction (like Vowels in the English Language). They are doing this to condition people to act and think a certain way. You don’t hear knowledge tracks or the likes of that on the Commercial radio, why?

Hip Hop affects millions of listeners, if they put people on who are rhyming about the reality of the way things are right now, then you would know too. The fact is, that when a new rapper gets signed, they gas up their heads, and say, “We signed you because you Are the best, we are buying you a hummer, go to your hood, and let them all know how great you are”.

So now he goes to the studio, and rhymes about what. “I’m the best.” This creates animosity amongst, friends, fans, other rappers. Henceforth creating a divide amongst the Hip-Hop community. Until the label comes in and signs the next “Best thing”. Creating a new set of animosty. It is time for us to say, we are not rhyming about a superficial reality, and we are only speaking Knowledge. The movement is now, who’s going with me.

“The Great Lion”

apademik — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 04:56:48 +0000

This is my interpretation of a couple of stories I heard once, I added a little to it……

Once upon a time there lived a Fierce and Mighty Lion. The Lion had his own Kingdom. The Lion provided for his *Pride…His Pride provided for him….Loyal were the Lions to each other…..Each Lion worked for the greater good of the Pride.

One day the Great Lion was walking around his forest. And the great Lion ran into some hyenas. The Hyeanas heckled as the Lion approached, “Look at the big bad lion….hahahahaha…he is so tough…hahahahathe …..King of Lions…hahaha”

As the Lion drew near, the Hyenas started to silence. The Hyenas put there heads down to the Lion. “Hey there Lion, King of all Lions, how are you great ruler,” said the head Hyeanas, as the gaggle of them started to inadvertently snicker to themselves. The Lion stated, “Why do you laugh at my expense, when you know I am with a Powerful Pride, and we can have you banished from this land?”

The Hyeanas laughingly reply, “We are Hyeanas, we can not help ourselves.” The Lion picked up his Powerful head, and walked on. The Lion was satisfied this answer, because the Hyenas knowingly, admit there faults. (Like a true Lion, it shows Pride in oneself to show integrity, and be honest about everything that is going on in ones 360 observation of life.)

Later that day, as the Lion is within feet of his Den, he hears a scream. “Help…Help…Please…Help…I need help.” The Lion looks around and spots a little creature that he has never seen before. The creature was stuck under a rock. The Lion quickly ran and lifted the rock off of the creature.

The creature said, “Oh great Lion, how can I repay you?” The Lion said, “first you must answer my question, what kind of creature are you?” The creature replied, “I am a Scorpion”. The Lion said, “Scorpion, you are hurt, I will take you to my Den, to heal your wounds, but I need your word that I can trust you.”
The Scorpion replied, “Lion you have my Word, on my Honor, and my Pride that you can trust me.”

So the Lion brought the little Scorpion into his Den. For weeks the Lion and the Pride nursed the little Scorpion back to health. The Great Lion approached the Scorpion and said, “Scorpion we have nursed you back to health now, we have set you up a place to live in our kingdom where there are other Scorpions like yourself.”

The Scorpion quickly turned, and stung the lion in the paw. “Ouch, Scorpion you stung me, now I will surely die, why would you do such a thing, you gave me your Word, on you Honor, and your Pride”, questioned the Lion? “Lion, I stung you because I am a Scorpion, that is what I do, I have no Honor, and No Pride, therefore I have no word,” concluded the Scorpion.

The End

I’m gonna throw a copyright note on this, because this is my own words, based off of my interpretation of a few stories. So if you Repost please credit me.
