Until the Lion Tells his Story

THE INTRO ALONE IS FIRE!!!



"No this ain't about Barack Obama! This ain't about Hilary Rodin Clinton! This ain't about John McCain! It's bigger than all three of them. This is about the African American Church. This is about our people! This is about our right to speak truth to power. This is about god's privilege and in particular his prophet to speak the unedited, unmarginalized, unsanitized, uncategorized word of god to the powers that be. It is not a white thing, nor is it a black thing. It's the right thing that we are doing tonight."

My fav quotes from the site:

"the artist as shaman. every book a spell. every draft a divination."

and

"the test of a good healthy spiritual tradition is that its adherents lead good, healthy lives. brimming with strength and meaning. beauty and grace. they build strong, healthy communities. "

and

"consequently the human condition, evolutionary illumination, community empowerment, divine and destinic guidance have become prime hoodoo concerns"

Nice. Haven't read the whole page, so not responsible for everything.

Try reading while listening to Mos Def's "True Magic"

Jay Electronica Dimethyltryptamine Video

Just stumbled upon this video collage created of Jay Elec's song Dimethytryptamine. Apparently the song is originally 6 mins long and it's lyrics are meant to create seemingly random yet loosely linked pictures. Much like a dream.

Dimethyltryptamine is a naturally occuring potent psychadelic drug that is found in the body. It's been linked to intensifying the dream experience.

Check the end statements by J.F.K. Never knew he was so radical.

Love it!

50 Now Supports Obama

50 Cent no longer supports Clinton
Posted: 05:13 PM ET

50 Cent says he was impressed with Obama's speech on race.

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton appears to have lost a high-profile backer to rival Barack Obama.

Rapper 50 Cent, who told Time magazine last September he was supporting the New York senator's White House bid, now says he has decided to shift his allegiance to Obama.

The multi-platinum star, born Curtis Jackson, told MTV News Friday that Obama's recent speech on race was the deciding factor for his decision.

"I heard Obama speak," he said. "He hit me with that he-just-got-done-watching-'Malcolm X,' and I swear to God, I'm like, 'Yo, Obama!'

"I'm Obama to the end now, baby!"

But the musician also admitted he's lost interest in the protracted Democratic race, and may not support either candidate.

"To be honest, I haven't been following that anymore. I lost my interest," he said. "I listened to some of the debates and things that they were saying, and I just got lost in everything that was going on…Don't look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, '50 Cent, he don't know, so don't ask Fiddy.'

He also said he didn't think the country is ready for a black president.

"I just think there's people that might not be ready for an African-American president," he said. "It'll be an issue, believe it or not."

"You've got to be conscious of racism, period," he continued. "And it's still there. We don't deal with it as often as my grandparents did. My grandparents grew up in South Carolina, so they experienced the heart of that."
