Yo...
Which one of ya'll went to the inauguration?!?!?!?
I didn't go see it live..damn..but...ok...check it
I went to the gym to do my run and watch it. I conveniently got on a treadmill next to this fine ass women I would always see at the gym right. I started with a walk at a speed of about 3 mph. Boom Aretha came on. I payed my respects "my country tis of thee". Sing it Aretha!!!
She took the 's' off of "land where my fathers died" and everything. At this point I sped my run up to 4.5. Oh yeah before that, all of the elite came out and that was where I sped up at. What a special thing this was. As I am jogging I began to wonder if i would see my sister gemeem or my mother. I kid you not 2 minutes later I see her in the crowd. I tapped the girl on the other treadmill and said "Holy shit!! Thats my moms!". While I was watching this i was doing a run to increase speed which means speeding up every quarter mile then going back to neutral. When president Obama was being sworn in I sped my pace to 7.5 miles per hour which is fast for me right now. Don't you know I ran that speed for about 2 miles. I was so inspired and things really started to set in. Part of me feels like there is some sort of trick going on. Maybe that is just the residual of past disappointments. This time around people really stepped up to the plate and got involved in govt.
Remember in in one of my first blogs I put we are stepping into the renaissance period. It is here!!!!

Today I saw Notorious!! I love Biggie all over again. I was totally inspired by his story. He became a man at the end before his life was cut short. I wonder what he would be saying right now man. The music industry is in shambles. There are alot of artists that are not coming totally from the heart. What would Pac say? Fuck that what do YOU say? Man the fuck up! It is 2009 we have a president that represents the people. The bar has been raised. My home girl KiKi Breeve Life was like "there ain't gon be no more hollaring at dudes and them dudes be like 'Im on the block ma' there will be no more of that shit "  All the artists that are not true artist are going to have to find another way soon. Everyday the playing field is getting leveled. The dark ages are over. Yeah that shit was dope, yup...(keyword "was"). "Stop it if you think your gonna make a profit". Now as I write this, I think my mixtape is at the tail end of the dark ages. There are a few glimpses of what is to come. Now don't get it twisted, I wish to make a hansome living off of my art but my goal is to inspire the greatest good out of life.

I am working on some mind boggling shit where people are gonna be like "wtf? I love this!". I read an article from Ghostface (again) he said artists don't write from the heart anymore, arists write from the mind. I aspire to bring that beautiful union where heart and mind become one. Science and instinct act together. As far as style, Pac was heart with some mind. Biggie was mind with some heart. Toward the end of there physical lives, Pac's lyrics became more clever, Biggie's lyrics displayed more virtue.

(I maybe reaching for this one but) In a way Barack represents that balance. That brilliant heart, a poised fire, calm conviction. His thought is married to feeling. If there are people out there still living in doubt, develope yourselves. Through that developement dreams are made physical. Practice fuels faith, it is the alchemy by which visions come to life.

Impulses are like clay, when sculpted by the mind they are made into masterpieces. Johnny Voltik
