Dead Prez - Stimulus Plan
Dead Prez and DJ Green Lantern are currently working on a Mixtape called "Pulse of the People" Turn off the Radio Vol.3, which will be available on June 23. They also have an album coming in November called "Information Age". They put out a song from the Mixtape called "Stimulus Plan". I'm sure DJ Green Lantern produced a couple of the tracks. I think Green Lantern did a great job on Immortal Technique's "The 3rd World" so, if it's street and grimey like I know it'll be... I can't wait.
If you can't play the full song below, here's a link to download or listen to it..

Truth is not measured in mass appeal. Truth is independent and will always exist no matter how unpopular it is. It is undemocratic.

There's Freedom for EVERYBODY or Freedom for NO ONE...
They call us minorities, poor, second class citizens, illegal immigrants, backwards, ignorant and use tactics to separate us to divide and conquer. There is a war against us all.

Life After Immigration
Intro with an excerpt from Dr. Cornel West. This track is one of my favorites. My voice has changed since my last album 2 years ago. You can hear the urgency, pain, and passion. Give it a listen. The music that I make is much more personal for me than a lot of other things that I do but that's because my creativity reflects my personality.
I haven't had time to record for a while and I feel like I've had so many thoughts and ideas that I get writers block. There is so much to say and I've always been cautious about how I present things to people. I feel like this album is a musical research paper with more than just rhymes over a beat but when I get the flow going it's monstrous.
Big ups to the homies from the Renegade Click...

Nipple Non Grata - Women Without Nipples
The Nipple Non Grata project by Loreffrey Studios. The Loreffrey Studios took a couple of photographs of these women with their top off and then digitally removing their nipples ...
Statement;
"By digitally removing a woman's nipples, have we desexualized her? If so, is the mainstream American media responding to societal demand for some kind of "pretend" decency in magazines and ads? Does nipple removal let us flirt with feminine sexuality without crossing the boundaries of "good taste"? What does this say about American culture? Does it reflect a certain type of hypocrisy? Does this approach further objectify women as plastic objects or playthings?
The photography duo loreffrey became fascinated with these questions and decided to create the portrait series Nipple Non Grata to challenges viewers to contemplate the practice and question the assumptions that drive this portrayal of women's bodies in the media."
Get over it..
Advertisements, billboards, television shows, movies and everything else in this market driven economy is partly based on over stimulation of sexual acts or insinuations. Do you think I'm really going to buy your deodorant because you claim that hot model girls will have sex with me (*cough AXE cough*). Get the fuck out of here.

On Stage
Sometimes I wake up excited, sometimes I wake up in a rage
Some days my mind and soul are divided, other days they're stuck in a cage
Someway I manage to feed myself working for minimum wage
Waking up every morning concerned with my health and preparing to go on stage

Dr. Cornel West - Hope on a Tightrope
I bring to you a book by Dr. Cornel West entitled "Hope on a Tightrope" that opened my mind to other theories of thought that helped with the development of my own theories and thoughts. I highly recommend this book. The book comes with an audio cd. I've uploaded the audio cd which contains an interview conducted by Tavis Smiley with the intellectual Dr. Cornel West.
Buy the book on-line or at your local bookstore.
Here's the link for the cd.. You'll need to unzip it..

Kanye West Medley by David Sides
This guy is fucking amazing. I don't know how he does it because there is obviously no music sheets in front of him. Playing everything by ear. He's so in-tune with the keys like Pablo Escobar. Don't let them go over your head.
1st = Good Morning
2nd = Champion
3rd = Cant tell me Nothing
4th = Flashy Lights???
5th = Everything i am
6th = good life
7th = Stronger

Ms. ameriKKKa needs glasses!!!
Put your glasses on Ms. ameriKKKa, can't you see?
That there's no justice for a young Mexican like me
Stuck on your old system and the way things used to be
Fuck your Constitution if Democracy's refused to me
And my people, the one's that the law treats unequal
You're xenophobic, so you try to claim that we're illegal
The american dream, you have to be asleep to believe it
You buried my history so I became a miner to retrieve it
And when I rap, you're amazed at what's coming out your speaker
I quit my job as preacher to become a truth speaker
I'm a Proletariat, underground like Harriet
Tubman, your master beats you but you love him
They taught you to hate yourself and they even destroyed your culture
If you threaten their existence, they'll turn into a vulture
This is Khemikal Ali signing off on the track
And ameriKKKa won't change even if our president is black
By Me... aka Khemikal Ali aka Ecks
Excerpt from one of my songs...

Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Description:
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.
This Documentary is something you wont find on Faux News or any other media outlet. The struggle that the Palestinian people are facing is horrible and this documentary shows it. They want to paint the 3rd world as terrorists and backwards but how did they get in this position?
