I wish this world, Love — the core is getting hot.

“Rock the Vote staff, street team leaders, volunteers, artists, and our partner organizations have been working diligently to make sure young people were registered, educated on the issues, understood the voting process, and knew their rights when they turned out to the polls. Now we must work together to ensure that the Obama administration and Congress hold the promises made to young voters.” Of course, this deserves celebration because young people are stepping out and going straight to the polls with this organization's help. However, is this organization encouraging young people to vote on their own sense, or because it’s the way hip-hop says to vote now? The most beautiful thing about this specific organization is that it came with the first Black president of the United States, and that can never be taken away. We can never look down on that or disrespect it. In the 1930s, Black people jumped to the Democratic Party because of Roosevelt’s New Deal, where he introduced programs like welfare that were later weaponized and contributed to what I’m talking about now. Therefore, the Democratic Party does not need to assume automatic support from Black people without direct fruit: wealth creation, criminal justice reforms, and urban investment — it’s been insufficient. People who are undocumented deserve food, home, work, and healthcare because they are human — This can’t be where we divide ourselves. Come on, man, we came from Africa. If Latinos could just stop saying nigga, we would all get together and protect our Panem.

My thesis is that red and blue should not be fighting—the truth is rich versus poor, greedy versus not, good versus evil. Don’t be a nationalist cause it makes you feel good to be a part of a group and not be marginalized — remember your cross. Don’t let the media wink you into thinking that it’s OK for kids to start deconstructing themselves like what they see in the movies. Don’t think it’s OK to be that Christian that beat people inside the head with the Bibles, hoping that they gonna feel something, but you ain’t spent one minute with them. Be careful who you voted for and don’t put faith in them. Your faith is in love, and he bitch slap whoever he has to cause he’s the real pimp. I need a cross tramp stamp; I was ho’d out before I could say yes.

Two semesters before I received my degree in Africana Studies, Congressman Dr. Michael R. Davis rejected my original thesis on mind control and art, which extended power to the government and its associates, friends, and colleagues. Annoyed by my candor and pressure points, he encouraged me to stop my research. I previously held, and still hold, my arguments countering the $10 million state-of-the-art performing arts center gifted to the new Compton High School. “The Andre "Dr. Dre" Young Performing Arts Center (featuring a recording music studio and a 900+ seat theater)”, “…new 31-acre Compton High School campus cost between $200 million and $232 million to build, funded primarily through the Compton Unified School District, with Dr. Dre's personal gift supporting the specialized arts facility”. Dr. Claybrook — successor of the department, post-retirement of Dr. Karenga, had me understand the different ways that the project was being supported. “In 2015, Compton voters passed Measure S, a $350 million local voter-approved school bond. This was paid for through property tax levies in the district to fund major capital projects, with the new Compton High School campus serving as the flagship project.” Now I understand that once we get into the political underpinnings, business can get a little complicated—secret deals behind closed doors, defamation attempts, etc. This is where I choose to believe Nicki Minaj for what she brings to the red table talk, especially because of how she’s been thrown overboard by ‘…the girls and gays that made her '. The idea of celebrities being industry plants or clones isn't new. It’s real and adjusted social engineering because, at the end of the day, that individual’s gonna get hella famous on Instagram or whatever social media, with the doors open to exactly which kind of networks rule the media. They influence those who don’t have as much as they do (being artists with money/reputation/superficial pleasures). As a society, we are way too obsessed with celebrities — letting them dictate parts of our lives. There’s a reason social media is so overpopulated: nobody is making money, and nobody wants to go to work. There’s not enough time or energy in a day for everyday people in society to advance another tax bracket, especially if you’re middle class and not using any government assistance, which they know eventually becomes a reliance for people who are struggling powerfully. And if nobody is at work, who understands the deals really happening behind closed doors? Shit, do we even know how our coworkers are plotting against us right now?

"The same people who own the labels own the private prisons" - Ice Cube

Creating a business ecosystem isn't rare—it’s OK for the businesses an LLC acquires to compete with each other. If at the end of the day, the parent umbrella company is the one that benefits. If the same people own the labels on the private prisons, why wouldn’t they work off of each other?

Labels have their artists meet by committee, and that committee decides how they want to be publicly related to this specific artist controlling most things that artists like Raye, MJ, & Taylor Swift have called out. That is why Dr. Dre’s personal gift to support the specialized arts facility has bothered my spirit for a while. I believe they’re breeding kids to be the next talent because celebrities get younger and younger every year. Then they want to talk about pedophiles and people like Dan Schneider, but people are willingly giving their kids to these networks — especially if they’re vulnerable; that child is going to save the family. Not everybody got Billy Ray Cyrus as a father who could set up the TV so his daughter could do what she did, and then later say she don’t want nothing to do with her dad. It’s the difference between white privilege and black folk.

The Lord doesn't need more artists who are self-absorbed and in love with the things of this world; we need leaders who invite the Holy Spirit into everything. What is the point of Music if you keep on reciting the bullshit that is going to ruin your life? " — my baby daddy, — my baby daddy, — gunshot Rata Tata." What are you saying out of your mouth? What kinda crap are you listening to? How many hos on your phone rn?
