whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic community to its drum woven past.
whereas, the quantized drum has allowed the whirling mathmaticians to calculate the ever-changing distance between rock and stardom.
whereas, the velocity of spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history, yet, at a different moment in time's continuum has allowed history to catch up with the present.
we do hereby declare reality unkept by the changing standards of dialogue.
statements such as "keep it real", especially when punctuating or articulating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically or depicting an unchanging rule of events, will henceforth be seen as retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is.
furthermore, as determined by the collective cosnciousness of this state of being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular manifestations, the role of men as listening recepticles is to be increased by a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal agressors.
motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self actualize.
we have found evidence that hip hops standard 85 rpm when increased by a number at least half the rate of the standard or decreased by 3/4's of it's speed may be a dtermining factor in heightening consciousness. studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth.
equate rhyme with reason
sun with season
our cyclical relationship to phenomena has encouraged scholars to erase the centers of periods thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect.
reject mediocrity
your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which has been given for you to understand. the current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant. the rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptons and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears.
light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness.
the role of darkness is not to be seen as or equated with ignorance but with the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen.

we claim the present as the pre-sent as the hereafter
we are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun
we are not afraid of the darkness
we trust that the moon shall guide us
we are determing the future at this very moment
we now know that the heart is the philosopher's stone
our music is our alchemy
we stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a handful of minerals, thus, realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussive factor of forever.
if you must count to keep the beat then count
find your mantra and awaken your subconscious
carve your circles counterclockwise
use your cipher to decipher coded language manmade laws
climb waterfalls and trees
commune with nature snakes and bees
let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day
for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photgraphy, carpentry, crafts, love, and love.
we enlist every instrument:
acoustic, electronic
every so-called race, gender, sexual preference
every per-son as beings of sound
to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness
of the entire fucking world
any utterance un-aimed will be disclaimed
any utterance un-aimed will be disclaimed
two rappers slain
