addresses branches problem
There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.
blown mind people power
There's no doubt in my mind that 'Slam' is going to be huge. It's a film about the power of language. People are going to see this and get blown away.
signs
The MC has to be just that, a master in control. They can show no signs of weakness.
age time
You can't do anything that's not political in this time and age.
define itself simply
'Niggy Tardust' is the voice of a generation, a generation that does not define itself simply by what it's born into.
kinda love power
The MC that we love are usually the ones that we consider be kinda heartless, like 50 Cent. That's pretty much the prowess and power of an MC. That's what sells.
book autumn void
Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun
sea bottles matter
They say that I am a poet I wonder what they would say if they saw me from the inside I bottle emotions and place them into the sea for others to unbottle on distant shores I am unsure as to whether they ever reach and for that matter as to whether I ever get my point across or my love
block believe creativity
I don't really believe in writer's block or anything like that. If I'm not feeling words, I may pick up an instrument and play with sounds or delve into different types of creativity and expression.
inspired coming-out
I've always been inspired by a lot of work coming out of the UK
mother teacher father
My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus I rhyme.
eye poetry darkness
If not then you must be trying to hear us and in such cases we cannot be heard. We remain in the darkness, unseen. In the center of unpeeled bananas, we exist. Uncolored by perception. Clothed to the naked eye. Five senses cannot sense the fact of our existence. And that's the only fact. In fact, there are no facts.
voice doe generations
Niggy Tardust' is the voice of a generation, a generation that does not define itself simply by what it's born into.
race ideas black
We cannot continually barricade ourselves under some falsified idea of race, because our idea of blackness and race is simply reactionary. Africans didnt walk around Africa being black and proud, they walked around proud.
