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!!!
