Dailiy Inspiration: Midnite edition. "Midnight Love" Snoop Dogg ft. Daz (90's Underground ish!)

Before you click play. Listen to my story. When I was about 12 or 13 I heard this joint playing on the radio and I was geeked. I loved this song. The problem was that I only heard it once! I guess this song was supposed to be on a Death Row project that never materialized. However this is probably one of the strongest joints to ever come out of the west to have never been heard. Enjoy




Yeah I already know this joint left your head bobbing! And imagine..this joint is from the mid nineties!

Daily Inspiration: Gorilla Zoe "Lost"

Gorilla Zoe is my nigga. I first met Zoe back in 2004 at a record store that him and his brother own on Peachtree st near Underground Atlanta called the funkshop. I was down there vacating with my new born son and wife at the time. When I met Zoe I had pretty long dreads and a gold grill. We hit it off talking about accesories when he had noticed a pair of shades that I had on and he liked them. Might I add you that this was way before the world knew about Gorilla Zoe, back when he was still ridin chevy's and manning the booth at the record store. I can't speak on whatever else he was doing, but anyone on Peachtree hustling knows what I'm talkin bout, And if I was to go there today and find my nigga Black he'd tell you I ain't lying one bit. I've been waiting to run into the man again, but since he blew up I haven't been able to contact him. You know he had to change the cell phone number and all. However we was on some real shit so I know he'd remember me. He was still at the record store in 2005 when I hit ATL to do some promo for my new record. He even helped me sell a few cd's from his shop. He said he had liked where I was taking the music because it was different from what was out nad that I should "stay down" in ATL. He said with my gring I'd catch a deal in no time. I should've listened...right!

Anyhow I've been hearing aboutthis video recently and I hadn't checked it out. Even though it has been on some of everybodies blog and what not, I just hadn't. As I was looking at World Star Hip Hop this morning I ran apon it and decided to give it a look. Might I add that I like this joint alot, and I can definitely relate to this joint. Hell sometimes I feel like I'm losing it too! It's different being in a world of your own. Maybe at a later note I'll take ya'll deeper into my feelings about the subject. For now enjoy the vid.

But on a happier note I love seeing my kids smile!

The holidays are for the babies, and we managed to bring smiles to their faces. Check em out.

I fuckin hate holidays....

I guess for this who know me this doesn't come as a surprise. For those of you who don't know me, well gat familiar!

What I'm about to do is give you some true insight to my life and times as Adebisi..the emcee. I come from a single parent home where ever since I was about twelve (and even to this day) my mother had to work every single holiday including Christmas. So I guess after a while I just developed a certain disdain for holidays because while everyone else I knew was enjoying fun family gatherings me and my sisters were sitting at home warming up our holiday meals. Who knows the holidays just represent a time of lonliness for me and nothing else.

Most of the time I would spend my Christmas and Thanksgiving at a friends house eating with their families, but after a while I stopped doing that because I found that it just made me even more angry and disgruntled. I never understood families who came together on the holidays, I guess because it was something that I wasn't accustomed to. I've never spent a holiday with any of my extended family either simply because my family just can't seem to all get along. Might I add that I have a humongous family too, but getting us all together is a task unimaginable.

My last two years of highschool I spent my holidays with my homeboy Gus who felt the same way about holidays as I did. So what we would do is buy a gang of weed, order some pizzas and play video games. Actually those were some great holidays! Man we would drive around the small ass city of Racine bumping some music to get high to (bone thugs "bud smokers only", that one mystikal song about smoking weed, some triple 6 shit, and more bone thugs songs), and I swear we'd blow our fuckin brains out man. By the time we got back to his crib with the pizzas and shit I'd be ready to pass out! Thank God for a friend like dude because i probably would've jumped off of a fuckin bridge if it weren't for him.

When I got to college (after 2 years in the military) I spent most of my holidays on campus. Hell after a while I didn't even want to leave. Home just never represented happiness to me. It wasn't my mothers fault at all because I beleive she did everything in her power to provide for us and give us the best, which she did. I just always longed for something more, that thing that I didn't have and couldn't touch...family. I remember one winter break I stayed on campus and for Christmas I had boxed macarini & cheese, microwaveable mac & cheese at that! For that whole break I'd just have girls bring me food, liquor and Black & Milds. Fuck Christmas.

Eventually I got married at the age of 21, mainly because my girlfriend was pregnant. I knew from that point on I would have what I wanted and wouldn't spend another lonely holiday alone. And for a while I didn't. My son was born on December 23rd, 2003 and we brought him home on Christmas that year. That had to be my most happiest Christmas and holiday break ever, because finally I had something of a holiday and it brought all my friends and fam together. Which was a great thing to experience, even if for only one time in my life.

All good things must come to an end so the story states, and they do. By the winter of 2006 my marriage was all sorts of rocky and I had to go off and serve a few months of jail time in the house of corrections due to a probation violation. Not only that I wasn't working, couldn't find a job and was broke. So on December 18th, 5 days before my sons birthday and 7 days before Christmas I went to serve my three months in jail. I swear i regretted that! Not only did I miss the holidays I missed my sons 3rd birthday and he will never be three again. Needless to say I spent that Christmas and New Years in Jail with a whole bunch of niggas who I couldn't stand. And for the most part alot of them niggas were looking at spending their next few holidays in the joint. Not me though I had plans ongetting out and putting all the peices of my life together. Life is funny though.

To make a long story short me and my wife never really came back to terms and as a result we seperated and a year later were divorced.

Christmas 2007 came as me and my wife were seperated and going through some deep shit. Me and my kids spent that Christmas in my studio apartment. I gave them their gifts and we ate tacos. I thank God for them because without them I don't know if I could go on. They were my only holiday cheer. So that brings us here to today Christmas 2008, which wasn't that bad. My now ex-wife brought the kids over last night and I showed them their new puppy which made them happy. And this morning they got up and opened their gifts and played more with their new puppy. No Christmas dinner, we just went and bought us a 20 peice chicken and fries from JJ's chicken and fish.

Later on I took them back to their mother, who happened to be at her friends house. Which was cool I guess. The irony of it all is that dude gets a meal with my family while I sit at home with my Pitbull puppy eating JJ's chicken. My God I hate holidays! I love my puppy though.

Hate it or Love it! U be the judge..

Recently I had one of the songs off of my upcoming album "Hard Money" posted at http://jacquesmorel.blogspot.com/ for review. The song that was up for review is a song called "Caddillac Music" produced by the homie Ren of No Gimmicks Productions. I think the song is a good song, but then again it's my song. So that's why I asked for it to be reviewed. The song wasn't a mastered song so I knew I wass gonna take some points there. I asked Jacquesmorel.com to review the song because he has a very unbiased opinion and to receive high praise of the song would have been a positive. However he gave it a mediocre review. I can't be mad at him though. He was honest in what he thought the song was lacking and ways that it could have been improved. I respect that. Plus this is what i do and everyone has their own opinion so hey. It's all fair. I'm not at all a poor sport.

On the other hand. hate it or love it I'm pleased that he took out the time to consider reviewing the song and taking a listen to my music.

Most of you all have never heard the song he reviewed so you can either click on the title of this blog post to go to the site to hear the song and make your own opinions. Peace. BLAXLIFE

Damn Kanye!...I also wonder. Daily Inspiration.

I had started writing a whole other post until the feeling in my gut just told me to keep it real with ya'll and myself. To be honest I'm not a blogger, I'm somewhat of a journalist but definitely not a blogger. I'm an emcee. I write dope shit, I freestyle and I just overall enjoy everything hip hop. I emcee to free myself and to one day change my conditions. I blog to help free my passion for emceeing, and I feel a need to tell my story, because who else besides me is gonna do it. (this blog ain't all about me, but most of it is!)
I have a dream! Not only do I have this dream, but I work towards it everyday! No I'm not signed to a major. To tell the truth I'm still just a local rapper (I hate the word rapper too, so I like to say emcee). I have had much major success as a local act, due to the fact that I stay on my grind daily. No one around here is working as hard as me and I'm willing to bet the both of my lungs on it.
And I wonder if you know what it means to find your dreams? Not yet Kanye. I can't say that I have found it. I know what it is, but I haven't touched it yet. I long to grab ahold of my dreams and never let them go.
All this must end one day. When I was younger with these rap game aspirations I used to just think that all I needed to do was pay my dues and the rest would come. So I did what I thought I had to do. At first I learned to freestyle (which at first i though was impossible), but I did and I mastered that. Then I focused on writing songs and lyrics, I also did that and mastered that, whew! Then I focused on performers all the great ones. I focused in on their techniques and what I liked about them I took that with me, and last but most certainly not least. When I had my game tight, I focused on the grind. And I'll be damned if I didn't master that. I sit in my city now wondering what's next in the life of this emcee? Most certainly not obscurity, I'm hoping for destiny. God knows I give it the best in me, and this is all I've ever wanted to be. I've given and sacrificed so much that there is no turning back for me. Do you wonder if you'll ever find your dreams? Yes. However I'm through dreaming. BLAXLIFE

Who cosigns this garbage?

As an aspiring emcee I grind and struggle day in and day out to find an outlet to gain some recognition for my music. Ask anyone in the game and most folks will say that you're nothing until somebody cosigns you. For the most part I've found this to be true. The question is how do you get that co-sign? Man I've done shows, showcases, been on tv, newpapers (and not just in my city) hell I feel like I've run the whole damn course! And all this time no one worth a damn has seen me do my thing. It could be that maybe I'm not as great as I always thought I was, or maybe that special someone has seen me and just wasn't feeling my shit. Who knows? I can't say everyone will like my music, however I do put my all into it and enough people have told me they like it so I'm gone keep pushing. With or without that co-sign? The music industry is full of dick riding motherfuckers anyway, something which I hate but with that said I know all i have to do is get the attention of one somebody and all the rest of you will follow. Not calling anyone reading this blog a dick rider. Obviously if you're reading then you're riding with me!

My real purpose for writing this blog though was to ask the people out there who the fuck is co-signing all these garbage rappers? I can't even lie but out of the new breed emcees coming out I'm only messing with Jay Electronica & B.o.B. By new breed emcees I'm saying cats who were introduced to the game within the last year. Their is a laundry list of emcees who haven't yet had the shine that I still gets down with also. Back to live action. Now along with my list I guess I would also throw Wale into the mix, but I've been messing wit Wale ever since he was still answering his messages on myspace!

Point being it's a whole bunch of young emcees being ushered into the game with heavy praise that could arguably be deemed straight trash (in my opinion). Thats just my opinion though, straight up. And who am I but an emcee. I ain't gonna mention no names, due to the political nature of the subject and who knows..so and so's manager, PR agent or best friend could peep this entry and try to black ball me out of the game! No worries though when I get in position to make power plays......I'm gone really play on these fools. 100 and BLAXLIFE.

The Prayer

Lord now lay me down to sleep

I pray to the Lord my Soul to keep

If I shall die before I awake

I pray to he lord my soul

to take

I pray peace for my children

tranquility for my father

and blessings for my mother

good fortune for my sisters

and love for my brothers

for my nephews and neices

I wish prosperity

for myself I wish calrity

for my entire family

In the name of the Most High

we pray.....................................

Amen

When Police Break the Law! This shit is funny as hell! Jimmy Justice goes in on the Cops!

LOL! Thats crazy how a cop can park in a no parking zone to go to the damn drug store and they still consider it legal because it's a marked vehicle. Fucking cops! Lord knows I don't like em! Muchu props to this crazy dude Jimmy Justice for being such a vigilante on they crooked asses! I mean this ain't as bad as catching the cops whooping someone's ass but a sin is a sin no matter how big or small, and a crime is still a crime. Especially when the crime is committed by the cops! I was laughing my ass off when the female cop said "you don't know if I got a feminie problem, I could've been on my period"! WTF is she on! TMI officer, TMI! Next time I get pulled over for speeding I'm gone tell the cops "I had a headache, you don't know whats going on"! And I'm sure they'd still slap my black ass with a ticket! Peace, and fuck the police......till the world blow up beeeeeeeyatches!

Adebisi & The Fresh Cut Collective Live @ Stonefly Brewery 12/18/2008

Thursday December 18th, 2008 the Stonefly Brewery in Milwaukee, WI was transformed in to the Xperience. This was not only an experience for those in attendence. It was also an experience for me. This happened to be the first time that I have had the opportunity to perform with a live band, as well as it being the bands first experience playing a live show together as one band.

It felt special to me to be able to debut this fresh and new thing to a fresh and new crowd. The crowd was beautiful! Ethnically diverse and full of fresh faces. The ladies were all dancing and having a good time and everyone in the crowd was really into being receptive and experiencing the show.

We started our sets with some minor faults, but by the time we got to the second song everything was flowing right! What i really love about performing is the essence of call and response! I know that if I can get the crowd involved, then I'm winning! Can't nobody in the joint say my set was weak if i had damn near everybody in spot yellin "hellllll yeeeeaaahhhh" you know what I'm sayin! I had on my dark shades "to sheild from the flashing lights" so I couldn't really see the crowd. I wanted to be in my own zone anyway. The show felt real good though. That's all I can say. I didn't see it. I ROCKED it! And thats all I know.

Besides the show my homegirl DJ Venus held it down on the 1's & 2's all night. And she really did her thing. I was really impressed. I could of called any of these other dj's in the city and they would of charged me an arm and a leg and played Lil Boosie all gotdamned night! Thank God for her.

Due to the snow alot of people chose to not come. Might I add that it didn't even start to snow till after the show was over! However my most key point here is that the folks who chose not to show were some of the folks closest to me. I was unhappy about that, but oh well. Still over 100 people came out and checked out the show. And might I add that those who were there were the best folks that could've been there. We waited it out but not too long and as soon as the patrons had had enough drinks and got antsy enough, we hit em wit that real!

Thank God for hip hop and Rock & Roll.

Mama I'm a rock star! Watch me shine..

5 Questions. Interview with Rook Beats of the Grammy Award winning production trio "The J.U.S.T.I.C.E League"

If you haven't heard of the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League than you've either been stuck under a rock or listening to Country Western music for the last few years.

I recently had the time to politic a little bit with my man Rook Beats of the legendary Grammy Award winning production trio the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League. Peep some of what he had to say about life, music and whats in store for the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League in the upcoming future. BLAXLIFE.

1. How did u 1st get involved in the production side of the music?

Well, me personally...I used 2 rap when I was a teenager, but me and my crew didn't have beats...so i just started fuckin around wit my pop's keyboard the "TS-10". Colione story was pretty much the same, he was an artist in Tampa with a hit on the radio. He did all his own beats. Kenny was a well known musician playing in various bands around tampa while going to school for audio engineering.

2. What inspired J.U.S.T.I.C.E Leauge to form as a production trio instead of remaining solo?

In the begining we each had strengths that the other didn't have. Like Colione did alot of keyboard uptempo tracks, and I did alot of sampled tracks, and Kenny did alot of r&b. Now we can all do any genre of music.

3. When did u kno that u had achieved success in the music industry?

When we moved into a big ass Mansion in ATL!

4. Who is your favorite artist that you've worked with thus far?

There's to many to name, we've worked with Jeezy, Ross, Mary J Blige...2 many to name. They are all great to work with!

5. Where do see yourself and your career heading in the next year?

We see our careers heading towards more artist coming out on our label. We have a few tricks up our sleeves and a few shovels, because we are about 2 create a new lane for people to follow.

Much continued success to The J.U.S.T.I.C.E League in the upcoming year

Staying on the grind.

"I'd rather live on my feet then die on my knees, then sit back relax
and watch a mark get cheese"
- Adebisi

Yes! Your man is back. Feeling good...cold, but good! Today was an
adventurous day in the life and times of an emcee. I'm happy to say that
my single "So Tru" was added to the rebel vision website. Check for it
at http://www.rebelvision.eu . That's a big look considering I'm on
there front page with all these other big named artists. I say other
because I'll be damned if I consider myself a small artist! I've been
out here grinding ya'll. You know I got the show coming up tomorrow. So
for the past five months we've been rehearsing and thank God because
we've got the set sounding real tight!. I've also been going overdrive
on the promotions tip. Doing a lot of heavy networking to get some buzz
created around this music. It's also been a slow, but steady grind
getting folks to go and download the single "So Tru" (
http://www.zshare.net/download/526900246037073a/ ), however a slow grind
is better than no time! Thank God and Al Gore for twitter.com. I'm on
that website like a fiend! Follow me at

Milwaukee Go Hard!

Sheesh who knew Hip Hop music with a live band could be so hard! Well it's not exactly hard, but it is more work than having the dj load your set disk into the cd player and press play (as you pray to God that your set doesn't start to skip in the middle of your second verse)! It's all about the practice and Lord knows we been getting that in about three times a week since the summer, just to be ready to give a hot ass show on the 18th. I wish you all come be there with me! However if you're a reader of this blog and you can...then get ya ass down to the spot!

I need to quit my day job....one day.

This weekend went well pretty. Friday I didn't do much after I got home from the gig except hang with my babies (whom I will be uploading some more clips of them getting they performance on later). I know I sat up posting on twitter to God knows how long. I've given up on myspace and facebook to a full scale twitter addiction. I've found out that for my purposes of networking FB and Myspace aint cuttin it! What I've found on twitter is a whole bunch of young power movers who are about buisiness (w/ a lil bit of bullshitin), and not the typical round the way MF'rs I've found on Myspace and Facebook. Although those sites have brought me closer to my fans and have reconnected me with a bunch of old friends and fam. They're just not worthy of my praise for good buisiness. Fuck meeting friends, I want to meet some endz! In the meantime my trusty team of online promoters will still be effectively managing my myspace profile....I just won't be there so don't get nad if you message me and I don't hit you back for quite some time. It ain't personal...strictly buisiness.
On the positive emcee note this weekend I did some drops for a few radio djay's who were said to be debuting my single "So Tru" on their stations, hit the studio with my guy Reason (www.4ar.biz) and did some online networking (knocking doors down...all thanks to twitter.com) . I've done drops before for artists, mix show hosts and djays, however my guy DJ Ise of the African United Deejays warned me to start getting that down packed becasue ass soon as this music takes off (which it will) Deejays all over are gonna want to get drops from me. So I started rehearsing! Also I once again started blasting my single "So Tru" out online to deejays, A&R's and writers so I hope that takes off for me too. The studio session was insane me and Reason Knocked out 2 new joints in les than 3 hours! I put in that work in the studio I swear no one signed in the game can touch me in the studio, or even period for that matter (brushing off my shoulders...)! That felt great though. I;m in the midst of recording three projects and attempting to get some videos shot for my next album "Hard Money". I think I;m the only unsigned/undiscovered artist that works like he's on the majors. I'm ready to play though! I need to quit this day job, but the blls still need to get paid. Shouts out to the home girl Merranda. I told her she had better check my blog today...or else...number 1 fan gets dropped to 2! One love to any and everyone checking on these blogs. Keep following me and together we can all touch the sky!

Daily Inspiration: Jay Electronica: One of the illest lyricist I've heard since Rakim. Not an understatement

This man is sincerely nice! Last night I was listening to another joint by Jay Electronica called Transformations and it brought me back to a time in Hip Hop where lyrics had to be razor sharp. And then I wake up this morning and peeped my homeboy Mikey Mcfly's blog and in his post of the next leaders of the new school, he has my mans Jay Electronica as his number one pick!

Well I second that pick because I just have to give the man his props. What really amazes me is that this cat is from New Orleans and his flow is as gutter as a railroad track in Brooklyn. How does he do it.

Check him out for yourself.

The new crack house!

I'm from the hood and I remember when the neighborhood crack house was
an obscure house in the middle of the ghetto. No flashing lights, no
sale posters, no cash registers!
What the hell has happened where folks are willing to sell crack so
openly? Don't the police see this constant traffic coming in and out? I
mean this crack house is right on a main street. They be poppin' all day
and it's always cars coming in and out!
They ain't just selling nik's though, no sir they got 10 pcs, 20 pcs,
50 pcs and 100 pcs. They movin major units! Every single day they pushin
more birds than Pablo Escobar could ever have thought of moving!
They got that dope! And I think they done even got me hooked! DAMN JJ's
CHICKEN AND FISH! I mean I know it's sooo bad, but it just feeeels soooo
good!

The New Black Super Hero! Who needs Superman when you got Black Dynamite!

Black Dynamite (2009) from smokeYYY | That Real Ish on Vimeo.

Word to Mikey Mcfly. This has got to be the funniest ish I have seen in a minute...

Daily Inspiration: A lil Tribe and some Pharcyde!! 90's Hip Hop! I wish you all were here with me!

This song always reminded me of how I would feel the day that I met the dopest female on earth.
Q-tip killed the first verse and his aproach was soooo smooth on the track as he described how this honey had him mesmerized with her black hair and her fat a$$ thighs! I can't even recall how old i was when this video came out maybe 12 or 13, what I do remember though is the warm feeling it gave me on the inside whenever I would listen to this song. Something about it just mesmerizes me.
The visual of the video is as just as good as the song. The images of mid nineties New York, the woman with the bob hair cut and the big earrings, the black college sweatshirts....everything about this video represents an era that was golden. Even to the fact that the song was about a woman, but there were no women being objectified at all in the video. This is a classy joint. The video seems like it was made by humble means also! You see they weren't focused on the shine or the fact that the video had to have a million dollar budget. They were obviously looking more towards the quality of the product. Man! I miss this music. Thank GOD for Youtube!
I hope all is well with all of you who've been checking up on me in my life and times. Stay up!

Oh! I almost forgot about this one. Passin Me By by the Pharcyde! These two songs should've been on some 90's ghetto ballads compilation. I just couldn't let this one pass me by! I remember when I used to be scared to talk to the women that I wanted to talk to. Not anymore, I was once a semi-shy guy with a popular facade to hide behind though. I'm a MAN now! LOL.

The Riverhorse Hip Hop Night

So I'm hanging at this lil dirty bar on the east side called the
riverhorse. Yeah I know it's a funny name. However I'm here listening to
one of my favorite dj's dj venus and she happens to be spinning some of
the illest hip hop records. So I'm chillin.
Whatever it is I'm having a good time and enjoying my life.......as an
emcee. This city (Milwaukee) belongs to me. I've been telling folks
about my show on the 18th and the folks are really receptive. I'm real
excited about the show on Dec 18th. We have been rehearsing like crazy.
And I can't wait to release this funk on the city. Heads ain't even
ready! When will the world recognize......that I'm me! Adebisi. One. I
put on for my city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daily Inspiration: Confessions of a closet Rock Star !

Secretly, deep down inside I've always wanted to be a muthafuckin ROCK STAR! I mean I am an emcee, and I love hip hop music. But what hip hop music has been lacking lately is energy and creativity. So when I get sick of hearing Kanye brag and boast or whine like a bitch, or when I sick of hearing the latest and greatest top 40 bullshit, or the next hyped up not so next big thing. I tune in to some alternative shit! last night after rehearsal I was up late having a conversation with the electric guitarist from my band (Paul Tirico who by the way will prolly be the world's next greatest electric guitarist) over a few hits of bubblegum kush about music. While we were chopping it up he hipped me to one of his favorite bands "The Mars Volta". We sat up and watched a few on their videos and from a rock and roll standpoint i was pretty impressed!. It brought me to a place in my mind where I secretly and not so secretly admire the hell out of what rock and roll music has done for music in a whole. The great live sets, the intensity, the drug induced fit's of artistic psychosis on stage, the energy! At times music can be no better. These things that are so loved in rock and roll music is what I am trying to bring to hip hip music ( al except the drug induced psychosis of course!). Anyhow I'm gonna leave ya'll wit a few imspirational rock n roll clips that I happen to dig. Bare with me, this is my life!
One

The Mars Volta (2003) ( These guys are crazy )


Coldplay "Fix You" ( This song is just great )


Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze) RIP JIMI!


Sly and the Family Stone "Take you higher"


I had to throw some great black rock and roll acts in the mix! Open your mind folks.

SDC Symposium on Poverty

Milwaukee, WI was once a hub of industry overflowing with jobs. What was
once the great city of Milwaukee is no more though. Unemployment rates
have skyrocketed, teen pregnancy is high (though there has been a
significant drop) and the degradation of poverty wears like foundation
on the faces of the people.
Today I was one of the "not so many" in attendance at the job and
resource portion of the SDC poverty symposium. Due to the intense snow
that Milwaukee just received the people who really could have benefitted
from the job fair weren't in attendance. However it is encouraging to
know that organizations like SDC are attempting to makle the Milwaukee
community a better place by providing events such as the poverty
symposium. Later this evening there will be a dinner hosted downtown at
the Midwest express center featuring some good speakers. I'll make sure
to update you all more on this positive event happening around the city.
Check out some of the pics I took while at the symposium. Peace

Daily Inspiration: Brown Skin Lady

This right here is one of my favorite songs of all timez. Damn! Images of beautiful brown skinned women have been floating around my mind for the past few days so to tribute all the lovely brown skinned ladies in the world I decided to post this song by Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli).

Black woman do you know what all the women in the world go through to look just like you? Tanning salons, lip injections, but implants and all sorts of other craziness. You are the queens and mothers of civilization. The black nations most precious and beautiful resource! Stop killing me with the perms and weaves and just let that shit be. Whether it be an afro, or some dreadlocks or some braids, just learn to be happy and nappy!

Society doesn't know what true beauty is. I do and so should you.

Dedicated to all the "Brown Skinned Ladies" all across the globe.

If u happen to be in town come and see me perform. If you can't make it then watch a few clips of these past performances.

It's about time to take it a notch higher in my performance game and start killin em wit the live instrumentation.

If you happen to be anywhere near the Milwaukee/Chicago area please feel free to stop by the Stonefly Brewery and check out this phenomenol show.

Ever since the start of my hip hop career I have prided myself on my live performances. One thing that I haven't had the opportunity to do yet was perform my music with a live band. Now is the time folks. The man is finally self actualizing!

Check out a few clips from my last show a few weeks ago. Dreams come true, just ask me.

I Do It For Hip Hop

I'm a lyricist to the death so I got what you need, Adebisi the last of
a dying breed, and I'm almost extinct so I'm saying it loooooooooud!!,
say it with me, emcee means move the crowd!

What I do best is emcee. What I'm most known for is emceeing. So that's
what that is then! I consider myself a lyricist first and foremost. A
poet wit the capabilities to express the feelings of my people. A man of
the people. I speak for the people. It seems now a days everyone is a
"rapper", or your best friend or cousin raps! For Christ sake! Let the
bitch breathe! Not calling hip hop my bitch, or even a bitch. She is one
of the most beautiful women in my life though! However cats today are
treating my love like a dirty whore!
Some folks need to fall back and just be fans of the music, because
everyone can't be behind the mic! Plus there is an artform to true
emceeing and most cats don't get it! So instead of studying the game.
They rush and disrespect the game. I've been a student of this music,
culture and artfor since the 80's. I know wassup. I feel as if I have
grown with this music. I was first introduced to hip hop by my cousin in
the 80's who was a dj. I used to sneak and listen to him play records at
my mom's basement parties. The music was amazing! From then on I was a
skateboard riding, hip hop junkie (I was rocking vans, and skating
wayyyyy before Lupe came out with "kick, push" and the pack was rocking
vans!). As a matter of fact Will Smith and the Beastie Boys influenced
me to write my first rhyme about my cherry red skateboard! I've been an
emcee ever since.
I love this music and culture we call hip hop. I'd take bullet for the
art. For real.

Daily Inspiration: The Roots "Clock With No Hands"

This is exactly how I feel. It's a rough sounding version, but it's still cool.

My next entry

"People say that I'm crazy just cuz I wanna be alone, u can't depend on
friends to help you in a squeeze, we all deal with shit on our own,
sometimes the beef can grow and get out of hand, yea u know it gets full
blown, I never said that you mean the world to me, maybe it's best that
you never know."
- The Roots "clock with no hands"

It's been a long minute since I last hit ya'll with the latest and
greatest in the life of me....Adebisi. What it do though? Sometimes I
wonder if it is best to let those certain emotions that burn deep inside
your chest die out and turn to cold ashe. When you decide to open up
pandora's box there is no turning back. When all the cards are put up on
the table there is no taking them back. When all bets are placed it's
all left up to the dealer. Is it best sometimes to turn away from the
box and never open it. To hold those cards until you know it's the
perfect time to play them. To not place your all on that bet.
I definitely don't prefer to go through life alone. I guess being alone
makes the consequences not so high, because I'm the only risk. One day I
will have the capacity to take on love. I'm happy that I've had the
opportunity to tell those special to me how I've felt about them. But in
the end......it may have been best if they'd never known.
