H-Y-P-H-Y

LMFAO!! okay im sorry but I just want you to really stare at this picture and look at how stupid this whole concept was!!! I'm really laughing right nowwww! ahahah

But okay seriously, i need to address some things to my Bay area folks--the hyphy movement has moved. it's over--LET IT GO. Stop trying to hold on to it.

Now I am going to say there was one thing BEAUTIFUL about the hyphy movement and that was the free-spirited energy and sometimes even UNITY it brought to the bay when it was compared to other parts of the country but that's about it.

Now it has left a lot of people lost as they are growing into adulthood because they have been blinded to see that this is really holding them back.

Being a "thug" is not impressive. Although I do understand the necessity to be hardcore when you live in a hardcore area, and I have nothing but respect for those who have to grow up in those conditions.

But let's approach this with some common sense. Imagine if everyone in the "hood" stopped killin' each other, sellin' hardcore drugs to one another and came together to bring up the a youth that values education, self-esteem, self-love, questions... There would be no need to be "hardcore" anymore cus you aren't constantly IN BATTLE with your surrounding environment.

You're BUILDING.

Now this may seem like an impossible task, but i mean we could come together and make "hyphy" big in the bay which eventually went national-so why not spend some time spreading LOVE instead of fear.

Let's use our common sense.

So many people hollerin' about money they DON'T have, hustlin' to get money to buy materialistic things that actually make the very ones holding you down RICHER while you continue to struggle.

What do you look like havin' a grill an iced out watch a designer clothes
with no
JOB
CAR
HOUSE of your own (if you rent, work towards OWNing)
Otherwise you're just going to keep struggling
living paycheck to paycheck


The main ones talkin' about how much money they have are the ones who REALLy don't have it. If you have money FOR REAL--it will talk FOR you--you don't have to say shit.

It kills me I see these people hollerin' that "i don't give a fuck" shit, but are quick to go bad on someone--anyone. If you REALLY didn't care--you wouldn't be mad. You wouldn't care enough TO BE mad.

Then these people talkin about they have money will spend so much on a dope fit and go to the grocery store and buy all the food with empty nutrients, chemical preservatives, and other chemicals of processed foods.

If you have so much money why isn't your kitchen full of organic food and HEALTHY food. You guys are so backwards sometimes. Spending money on food that will kill your body sooner from preventable causes because you want to look "fresh"...

Keeping people sick is a business & since you're all about money--you understand that, right? If everyone became healthy all of the sudden so many people wouldn't profit anymore and go out of business. there would be no "necessity" for it anymore.

So they keep you sick to keep themselves RICH.
open your eyes!!

INVEST in an education.
not because society values it, but because you will see truth in education
and give yourself a future you never could provide for yourself
the path you're going....

It's a TRAP.
to have someone on top--someone has to be on bottom.
and yes you could rap your way out of it BUT the mainstream music is no better than the hyphy shit and is designed to keep the population DUMBED DOWN so the elite can own you.

So no your dread ain't impressin me,
your slang
your watch
grill
the fact that you sell crack
killed someone

cus as much as you holler about how free and happy you seem to be
i know you're a prisoner to your own environment
and the sad part is that you think this "cell"
is COOL
and if you escape it--you're a "sucka"
now THAT is smart,
i guess a generation emulating goin "stupid, dumb, and retarded"
would think obviously see SMART, intelligence, COMMON SENSE
as negative

but i think it's time we wake-up...

The Naked Truth

The truth is nakedness. It is nature. It is beautiful. No matter how much you try and dress it in lies, the art of truth's masterpiece is incomparable. Some may feel uncomfortable basking in their nature, in their nakedness, in the truth because it can seem like utter vulnerability. You have nothing to hide with, it bears all. It is loud and proud in love.

Some people have been so used to wearing clothes, makeup, lies that they feel UNlike themselves. They have became disconnected from the natural them--the truthful one.

When the transparency of nakedness is exposed they feel ashamed or turn their eyes because they aren't used to it. They are used to the lies. But no matter how much you put on top of the truth--no matter how much you try to bury the truth, it will always be there. That gracious body of warmth, smooth skin, and golden wonder will ALWAYS be there. It is alive. The clothes, makeup, deceitfulness has no heartbeat. But nature does--it's breathes as one with the earth. The earth is truth.

Those who embrace their truth--walking proudly in their nakedness are looked at as crazy, for being "inappropriate" because of their self-love. But should they really be punished for embracing their natural beauty or should that be a reflection to those draped in extravagant fabrics that maybe their attire isn't as beautiful in comparison to the Godly masterpiece? Maybe there's a reason the synthetic fabrics can't shine next to the light, the curves, the naked truth. Maybe just maybe the fabrics richness are not "rich" at all. Maybe, just maybe, the beauty is not in the clothes--the fabric. Maybe beauty lies in the nakedness. The nature. The eternal truth.

Black people, victims of self-hate

Okay let me warn you now--this is a VERY controversial topic and if you are not going into this with an open mind, you most likely will get mad or offended. Some of what I am going to state I want to say I do understand the reasons behind some of this that I am about to bring up, but it is still hurting yourself and others.

For about five years now I've observed there is a lot of SELF-HATE in the black community. The first thing I realized this from is a book titled, "Street Soldier", which is focusing on the "thug/gang life" in the black community. (I recommend everyone to read it btw) but as I've entered college and deplugged myself from the "system" as much as I can, I can't help but see the black community is inflicting alot of hurt on themselves whether or not they would like to admit this.

Of course, a lot of this started out from slavery, but even we are just participating in a system that is holding us down and then hold each other down.

My first example of this is going to be our music industry. If you look at the mainstream "hip-hop" music that is out right now, all of it is nonsense, has no substance, and no talent. Those teaching history, uplifting, and encouraging our people don't "make it" and this is a all a part of the system to keep us on the bottom.

Why do you think the mainstream music from other black artists are not educating us, talking about killing each other, objectifying our women, and focusing on material things?

That's what the CEOs want us to focus on.
They want us to spend our money on clothes, cars, chains, etc
instead of buying a house or gaining an education
because that is establishing a good foundation to LAST in the world,
but they don't want that "competition"...

instead of recognizing this
we make fun of black men who
aren't "thug" enough by callin' them punks
or if they are educated all of the sudden they are "squares"
being unplugged from the brainwashing is all of the sudden a BAD THING.
you don't fit in with your own community.

if you don't talk "ghetto" or educated, you talk "white"....

Women who don't open their legs or refuse to be objectified by this music
are seen as prudes, stuck-up, etc another BAD THING...

If you don't have the freshest gear on all of the sudden you're "broke"
a NOBODY
WEAK
like they are lazy because they won't go get their grind on
but just because someone isn't draped in labels, ice, etc that doesn't mean
you're "broke" ...how do you know they aren't INVESTING their money,
putting it in a savings account where it can gain interest...?


Then we call our women bitches, hos, and other degrading names left and right...
If you love your sisters--why would you do that?
These are our future mothers
wives
friends
that we are ALLOWING other people to call themmm...
which they are in turn internalizing
feeling less than a Queen because that's what they CONSTANTLY hear,
so here they don't uplift themselves
say no to a man being overly sexual with them during their teenage years
especially with so many with absent fathers who are
searching for some kind of masculine acceptance

so the only way to be accepted is to be a woman who "shakes her ass, drops it low, puts her pussy on his sideburns"?...

what kinna shit is that?

AND YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THIS IS DIRECTED AT OUR COMMUNITY?
E m i n e m

the media never talks too much about rap lyrics
and their thuggish violent ways

but as soon as eminem--a WHITE rapper who is speaking the same thing, it becomes a problem.

wanna know why? Because--NOW it starts hitting them in their home,
not THEIR CHILDREN are being affected by it because they can relate to this rapper
because he looks just like them. Eminem even talked about this in his song "White America"

Now aside from music, we all know black, dark skinned women are not looked at as the epitome of BEAUTY in the black community. If you ask a young man mostly what his dream woman is he'll most likely say "light skinned, red boned or something of that nature..."

Which IS a part of the media always having the light skins on the cover of magazines, or the lead singer in groups (Destiny Child)...
And why is this? Because the lighter, is closer to white--which is closer to
the "norm" of beauty (like Barbie)...

If you don't have straight hair all of the sudden your hair is "nappy"
and that is NOT a good thing, even though kinky hair is natural for a black woman...
but still it's not good enough...so instead she gets a weave to feel more "pretty" because "pretty people don't have 'nappy' hair"...

AND STILL that's not good enough...

Then we have those who sell drugs like cocaine to their communities not realizing they are killing their own sisters and brothers by giving them that poison. Or we're killing each other because this person represents a different "gang" or something of that nature.

And you know what all of this is--PART OF THE SYSTEM! this is what they want.
They want you to continue to be in gangs, selling drugs, etc to your communities
because you're doing their dirty work all because you are on your "paper chase" just like those in the videos....

And yes it's understandable you gotta get it how you live , BUT this is the way they've made the system--so that while you hustle you buy consumer products until you get thrown into jail or even better killed (by your own people)

and we keep participating in this cycle...
because we have been taught not to educate ourselves....
if we educated ourselves--we'd see this and we'd stop the system
and their empire would come tumbling down....

so they give us these meaningless role models to look up to
and music we treat like our very own bible that teaches us to hate ourselves
so that we can continue to be SLAVES in the system....

We need to stop accepting this.
We need to stop hating ourselves
and start loving each other again....

How do you expect to rise out of this slavery....
you have to stop.
you have to open your eyes....

She's JUST a "ho"!

It’s interesting to me as I see all these boys having sex with these girls they consider “hos” and yet they talk so much about how they don’t respect them, are disgusted by what they do, and how they sit back and laugh with their patnas at the woman’s poor choices…

And I sit here and think—if you’re fuckin them—how do you have any room to talk?

Like you’re not any better if you messin with a girl that’s easy….

They say it’s for “practice” or they “just hos” I don’t care about them…
I hear about these groups of guys running a train on one girl
Or passing her from one friend to the other in a matter of months…

YOU ARE PATHETIC.

You think—well if she’s willing to put out, I’m not going to pass it up.
Well, mr. horndog

Do you ever stop and think with your head (no not that one) and wonder why she’s so easy…?

“Hos” are women/girls who have EMOTIONAL ISSUES.

Most come from having an absent father/not strong relationship with their dads.

So they go out and seek male affection—any kind. They are in desperate need to feel wanted, loved, needed.

And here you are creating a bigger void that she has to fill by being a part of this.

Some are even victims of sexual abuse or molestation as a child who are so used to being sexual or that was the only time they got that male “affection” so they are reflecting that in their actions as teens, young and grown women.

They have yet to deal with these problems 100%.

They have yet to find that self-love that elevates them to escape this imprisonment.
Each man she does something with just digs her in a deeper hole, makes her feel lesser than, makes her need to feel loved more; making the cycle worse.

And then what gets me is the guys who pull that “I love you” trick just so they can fuck and they wonder why girls get so attached. If a girl has been wanting her entire life to feel loved—and she hears it, of course she’s going to do anything to
keep that.

Sure there are some girls who are “hos” that don’t seem like victims…

Some may be models

The prettiest girl in the room

With the cutest outfit

Drinking all the draaaanks

Smoking all the dro

At all the parties
She’s seeking out attention—attention she never felt

Or she’s trying to escape the reality of how alone she feels inside.
Don’t be fooled by this—her actions are showing you she’s insecure
Has low self-esteem
If she’s willing to give it up fast….

If you wouldn’t wife her because YOU KNOW she has “issues” why would you fuck her and become part of the problem?
You’re just adding to it.

Stop.

Let her heal herself.

And I can admit I have been very judgmental to even other women who act like this,
But I still have to sit back and think—

damn this is sad that they're yearning for this attention so bad that they’ll give their body to whoever, whenever, just for that "sweet" moment of feeling
Wanted
Needed
Loved
Held
Comforted
I just ask for people to look at the bigger picture
And stop acting like having sex with these “hos” isn’t a big deal
Or that “they just hos”…

Like they don’t have feelings
Or emotions.

They are still
Women
They are still human beings.

And for the woman that I am describing I can only pray that one day you will deal with
Your insecurities
Low self-esteem
And liberate yourself
And see the Queen that lives inside of you…

She’s there—just look in the mirror…
