M.I.A. ,THE STREETS,& LADY SOVEREIGN 101: FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS!!!

M.I.A. ,THE STREETS,& LADY SOVEREIGN 101: FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS!!!
Now anybody who ever thought “Real Hip-Hop” was limited to just “New York” was rudely awakened when “The West-Coast” took over the Industry for several years. Then After the Aftermath of The East-coast /West Coast "BEEF" “The South” took over. Now If you understand science this is called a “Paradigm Shift“. A Paradigm Shift is not simply the current theory, but the entire worldview in which it exists, and all of the implications which come with it.(look it up.)Now Any Real Emcee who has traveled the World especially to “THE UK” will tell you they get “mad respect” over there because the listeners are not conditioned by the imagery of Gangster's, Pimp's ,Thugs, “Drug Dealing Rhetoric” & “Media Propaganda”like over here in America. In fact while we enjoy the pleasures of our supposed freedom. The rest of the world Struggles in the balance of poverty, disease ,War, Famine, & Pestilence. Now As a Militant my duty is to free the mind’s of “My People” here in America. But that does not mean the rest of the world does not need saving. And… that does not mean “The Revolutionary Mind State” of “Real Hip-Hop” can not be applied to save other societies and other people. NOW lol I’m sorry I have to get so serious & technical with yall but 2 of these next 3 EMCEE’S have applied the revolutionary mind state of “Real Hip-Hop” to their struggles and in essence created a Paradigm shift away from just “American rapping” about DANCING,PIMPING,KILLING & DRUG DEALING Like some of “our” most popular COMMERCIAL RAPPERS!!! It’s sad really that the Kids here get it, People over seas get it, But Record companies, Street Ni*%az & the American Media JUST DON’T GET IT!!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!!!ALL FOR MONEY!! Now M.I.A. is actually Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam & is a very heavy political activist,photographer,film maker, artist & visionary. As well as a dope lyricist & fashion designer. In fact TIME magazine placed M.I.A in the Time 100 list of "World's Most Influential people" for having "global influence across many genres".{She would go later on 2 win Best female rapper of The Year at the BET AWARDS 7-28-09}Like I really care about BET but lol she won & she's heavier than most men!!!THE STREETS Michael Geoffery Skinner is another award winning British Lyricist who puts heavy life experience & political messages in his music. And last but not least is the young Lady Sovereign. While not as deep as these other 2… Home girl got a mad wicked sick ass flow!!! And got crazy metaphors, style & more substance than most commercial rappers here!!! HAHAHAH!!! What??? I guess yall think CALLOUS is just way to “serious” sometimes. lol!!! Well I can be. But that’s only because the stakes for change here in “The American Hoods” are so high in my “personal” opinion. Because people here are stuck in a vicious cycle of re-perpetuating self genocide. So I have to often break things down because a lot of people here don’t understand that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! And there is more to life than just selling crack, staying strapped, pimping or shaking your ass on the dance floor!!! Sometimes your music has to actually have a message behind it!!! And if these FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS get it WTF!!!???Why can’t We??? So Enjoy & in closing… HALT EVIL DOERS!!!WHY???I KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

First is M.I.A. with Paper Planes!!! She describes this as song as being a satire "about people driving taxicabs all day and living in a shitty apartment and 'appearing' really threatening to society.And the gunshots in the chorus are about the war in Iraq. Oh she’s quite fine also…
MIA - Paper Planes


Next is The Streets with Blinded by the Lights…dope.About "The Horror's" of Drug Addition!!!

And Last but not least Lady Sovereign with her commercial smash hit “Love Me or Hate Me!!!”

POE PICASSO,WALE & DyMe-A-DuZiN 101: The Rebirth Of Swag

POE PICASSO,WALE & DyMe-A-DuZiN 101:The Rebirth Of Swag
Yoa what’s up yall there is an old quote that applies to the young…Huey P Newton once said it best..

“Revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution".-Huey P. Newton

Now I’m not saying these 3 young dude’s are revolutionary {well maybe Poe a little} but they are ground breaking. Now my last blog post was on Charles Hamilton who is perhaps the most popular in this Rebirth of Swag. So I have to admit it is rather refreshing to say the least to see these young dudes catching up the slack of the old .Its’ like these new kid’s know how to sample & spit as good if not better than their adult counterparts.. While remaking and or sampling the most offset songs. Unfortunately though They all have been catching a little slack for it too. But F%ck it man!!!!Back in the day M.C.’s sampled James Brown like clockwork!!! Hell these kids are just bringing back the art of sampling!!!Besides The game is lame as Fu&k!!! And these young kids are just doing what comes natural and remaking some legendary stuff. Take DyMe-A-DuZiN for example he remade “Kool Like Dat” from Digable Planets. I mean would you rather he remake some gangster gully shoot um up bang bang sh&t???NOT ME!!!Let the kids have fun & sample some positive sh%t all day long!!! Wale is dope to. Only problem I have with him is the company he keeps {signed to Jay-Z’s new RocNation}. But his remake of Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. is amazing so I have 2 give him his props!!!Now Poe Picasso is the deepest & dopest of the 3 & not MTV at all. Both Wale & DyMe-A-DuZiN are MTV ready but Poe has the potential to be the next “Lupe Fiasco” in my opinion.Becausse when you listen to “You Gotta Love it” he even references Lupe who I’m sure he patterns himself after. Saying “DUMB IT DOWN” paying homage to his idol. Also showing that even though he is the least commercially successful he clearly has “The most potential”!!! Plus he’s just lyrically gifted and more mature than all of these 4 kids combined!!! Also it’s really hard to expect these new kid’s to understand “the struggle” when Life Online & inside Video games helps you escape into a mystical mellow Internet universe. But in my opinion keep an eye on Poe!!!This Kid is gonna do big things!!! His name is derived from Edgar Allen Poe & Picasso because he’s so visual.Alrite enjoy the Rebirth of Swag with these 3 hot new video’s Poes is only a still but the lyrics are really what matters in Real Hip-Hop!!!
Peace-Callous:The Futuristic Militant

First we have WALE with W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.


Next is DyMe-A-DuZiN with The Rebirth of Swag {Kool Like Dat}


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST “THE NEXT LUPE FIASCO” POE PICASSO WITH “YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!“HEY LOOK THEIR NAMES EVEN RHYME!!LOL!!! I REALLY LIKE THIS KID!!!

CHARLES HAMILTON 101:SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!

CHARLES HAMILTON 101:SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!
Well what can I say about this clever young dude. Interesting kid. High strung… yet has a bright future ahead of him. Now first of all he’s the cousin of The Legendary M.C. Lyte so that’s a good start. He has a lot of heart and some intriguing things to say about Hip-Hop. I watched a couple of his Interviews & Battles. He kinda lost in his Battles… but he still keep’s coming…lol!!! Just like his favorite character Sonic the Hedgehog!!! Unfortunately just like Sonic and Sega sometimes you can run so fast you can’t see the obstacle’s in front of you before it’s too late. One of the major obstacle’s he has to overcome is he like’s to play the “Age Barrier” or “Generational Gap” mind game with you. It’s cool… I think he’s like what 21???How else would you think at such a young age???At least he did know who RAKIM was in one Interview.And he is M.C. Lytes cousin. But Real Hip-Hop is not a video game kid & when you put yourself in the same breath as Asher Roth {who has made some very Derogatory remarks as of late} and promote yourself with him & The White MTV generation you set yourself “outside” of Real Revolutionary and or Scientific Hip-Hop. But to be honest He’s not street or mainstream he kind of rides in between both worlds. Kind of like a modern day “Screaming” Q-Tip from a Tribe called Quest.I guess it work’s because he was raised around Hip-Hop royalty, yet strives to be different. His swag is different 2 he rocks a natural & lot’s of different color MONSTER BEATS BY DR DRE HEADPHONES. The Bottom line is... it takes a lot for me to authenticate an Emcee here on WHAT IZ REAL HIP-HOP??? Including writing about you and telling people about you.#1 because it has to stand the test of time & #2 Because even if you’re a “Flash in the Pan” or a major “Hip-Hop Rock Star” I won’t write about you unless you make a serious "positive" impact in Real Hip-Hop. Now Charles is just starting out & is only promoting one song “Brooklyn Girl”... so who knows he might be the next Lupe Fiasco as far as depth goes.But for now I will leave my opinion at a solid 7 out of 10.Because of his heart. If he comes up with something deep I will (re-post) it on a later date. Well here is his Video “Brooklyn Girl” Enjoy. And as Always keep it CALLOUS!!!
