Stand Up Before I Stand Down.

I thought I'd start a thread that hopefully revolves around positivity and empowerment. I'm going to start it with another song that has inspired me.

Rakim (The God MC) a remaining, living, lyrical, Legend. One of the best to ever bless a Mic.

This one is a little different to the usual stereotypical content usually associated with Rap or Hip-Hop.

Never heard this before but it has a mellow, positive vibe to it so I'll go with it.

I'm not familiar enough with it to be able to comment on it but so far I'm like it. Awesome Album title - The Healing Component..... Clever Wordplay (THC), enough to get my attention I'm discovering a new found or re-found Love for words and the Power contained with in.

It just keeps coming how do they do it? Just as I thought I have seen what I need to see, I continue to be blessed with more and more who knows what direction this can take.

Moving away from it being purely about Music, although Music can be a very powerful tool if used in the correct way.

 

Someone actually gave me the inspiration through a single word which sparked a desire to understand it a little better. No better teacher than Alan Watts to give his unique insight into this and all matters. Enjoy

Cannot leave out the Teacher Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody. One of the Greatest most influential to have ever blessed a Mic, he can trace his roots all the way back to the beginning of the creation of Hip-Hop.

 

Again, not your Stereotypical Hip-Hop artist, he is a MC, Teacher, Philosopher just to name a few.

Moved to off topic

[theezenutz]

Wow, I keep managing to move from one reality to another with no conscience effort . So much for discussing the meaning of Life. Anyway.

[theezenutz]

Now this one is a personal favorite of mine. I just love his unique brand of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Feel the need to put up a couple more as his work in my humble opinion is important, it has a message and a purpose and is probably more relevant today especially with all the nonsense going on.

Believe it or not I have not heard this one before despite owning almost all of his albums. A nice little treat if you ask me.

I thought I'd post this one as I keep hearing the words Paradigm shift quite a bit which you can see the effects starting to take place all over the globe.

Another interesting article just to keep reinforcing the general theme and direction of this thread.

Good that, thanks.

[theezenutz]

After Lee's post I thought I might post this one up, yes another Hip-Hop vid but this one deserves to be in this thread because of the content and message contained within.

I won't try to elaborate on it but rather let it speak to you in whatever way you choose to allow it, I will however, copy and paste the last verse so that you can get a feel for the message being conveyed in this by the Artist. Also Genius is usually a very good reference site for those who may not understand the language.

 

Focused on variety
I'm not the new 2Pac cause I'm here to do this quietly
But I'm here to shape society
Couldn't even envision what I'm tryna be
I'm next level with it
Thank you Funk Volume for signing me to come get it
Now i'm in it, spreading positivity and empowerment
Doing this way before Kendrick
Was rapping about lacking confidence
Feeling like all this new rap music just ruins it
So I'm here to let go of my outer inner-fluences, I'm cooling it
Giving all you brothers something real to follow
Even though the truth is a hard pill to swallow
It's still the motto
Painting these pictures like the real picasso
If you don't fit in today there's still tomorrow
Hoping it benefits us both
With these words tatted on me some gon' feel it and some won't
Nah, it ain't no hard feelings...
