Adventures on the WRONG Adventure

Before I retire this old blog, I got a couple more things I want to post...

2011-08-22T11:34:00.000-05:00

I last saw them live for free at the Double Door in Nov. 2009. It was the last time I saw my guy Chris (RIP) and it was right before my crews first big show.

I remember being undecided on if I had a crush on Yukimi Nagano. After seeing this picture, it is definitely official.

I'm about to learn this song...

I just like this song. I'm gonna get their album now.

New SonnyMoon...

2011-04-01T00:05:00.001-05:00

I LOVE this group.
They do amazing shit with music right now.

I haven't posted on this blog in a year and a couple months.
THEY MADE ME POST SOMETHING NEW.

The Paradigm has shifted. I'm shifting with it!!!

I recommend you BUY their album if you don't already have it
www.sonnymoon.bandcamp.com

il.

My nigga Skech put me up on this...N.A.S.A. featuring 2 of my biggest influences...

2009-11-22T18:53:00.000-06:00

So yeah, when I was 12 yrs. old I heard Blue Flowers off Dr. Octagon and that fucked my whole perspective up.
Then a couple years ago, a mentor moved to Germany. Right before, he told me to study Tom Waits,
he said I reminded him alot of what he did.

After seeing this video with them together, I feel alot more vindicated for the type of crazy shit that I like to do.

Thank you!!!

Dear Mr. Jordan...

2009-11-19T17:42:00.001-06:00

Just a video of M.J. DUNKING on Ewing during one of those football like
Bulls vs. Knicks playoff games...

Now then,
I wrote a poem after I saw a commercial around the time of the 2009 NBA Playoffs.
At the time, I thought that his endorsement would seal the deal, but as the video below shows, he didn't go to Coppenhagen with Obama/Oprah/Daley, etc.

So, as it turns out,
maybe he concentrated more on his braggadocio hall of fame speech. Can't blame him.
So here's my poem...
____________________________
Dear. Mr. Jordan

Hi, Like most people who grew up in Chicago,
I grew up watching you,
watching you slow motion
float thru hater-lane defenses
and camera shot flashes.
They would always
attempt to capture you,
but could never keep you on the ground,
you always figured out a way
to fly,
anti Kunta kicking high
into opponents faces,
slammed shame of defeat.

You made this city's shoulders
more broad, proud, arrogant enough
to tear its own heart out,
light it on fire,
then put it back in the next morning without
worry of acid reflux.

You help inspire the law enforcement officers
create a "pen" for its street stampeders,
its horned shit starters,
its true fans.

Because a real fan embodies its team's spirit
not drunkenly hibernating thru seasons
like certain baseball/football teams.

To say the least,
people consider you a Diety around here.

While drinking and playing cards,
a friend says,
"I ain't never seen Jesus,
but I seen Jordan"

Then proceeds to tell a story about being neighbors
with your X-wife,
while you all were courting,
and how you came down the block
like the Mayor of the Southside (because you were)
in a Lamborgini,
cruising of course,
until you saw a basketball hoop
in the middle of the street,
so you proceeded to entertain
a young fan,
with a one on one game,
where he crossed you
and made his shot,

So thusly,
being the winner you are,
you went to the car,
switched shoes,
went back,
and dunked on the kids
ego,
and he said thank you.

We,
in this town,
appreciate being put in our place,
as long
the person putting us there
is our hero.

You saved Chicago from being
second place,
made our Sears Tower seem taller,
we appreciate these things.

So with ALL that being said,
Mr. Hero,
why is it that your attempting
to make it harder to live in this city
for those that are of, from,
birthed by,
poor'd indebt to...
maybe they can't monitarily
support you
like those who
hibernate,
fatten'd off of
this cities exclusive circles
ariola blood suckers
with their front row tickets to
see you fly...

But why are you helping them
use this Olymipics Bid,
2016,
like Louisiana Levees,
2005,
another reason to market flood
rising rent prices like
tieds when scooba gear gets
unaffordable.

I guess the answer is,
displaced refugees aren't really
your fans in the end...

Only the people who help you
pay your gambling debts
and your alimony checks.

Sorry Mr. Jordan,
for wasting your time...

I use to like Pippen more
anyhow...

adendum

Thank you Mr. Jordan,
For not giving a fuck enough to stay out of Copenhagen.

Blah, Blah, Blahs of Chicago...YOU SHOULD LISTEN!!!!

2009-11-19T17:18:00.002-06:00

They are the shit. Period.

I know I've been gone for awhile

2009-11-19T16:57:00.000-06:00

So,

pretty much, I've been bullshittin' with this blogging thing, SO...
to make it up,
I'm posting a free Documentary about everyone's favorite sizzurp drinkin', soon to be incarcarated rapper. Very interesting, alittle worrysome at times, but overall it does him justice.

Coming from a person apart of the generation that actually grew up simontaneously with him, I do have to say that...yeah...we're alittle fucked up (my generation that is).

Oh and did you know that 50 wrote and directed his own hood-sploitation movie. I will not be posting that. You have to find it yo self.

I WILL post this though...

SHABALADO!!!! Black Dynamite was ignant as hell (that means good)

FREE KATT WILLIAMS

Just felt the need to say that.

il.

This dude IS the best living song writer, I don't give a shit what you say!!!!

2009-09-24T01:38:00.000-05:00

This HONESTLY should have went on the album,

Maybe it was too Prince-ish, Gender Bending,
he could have easily sold it to Chrisette Michelle or somebody.

THIS SONG is just an other situation...

Maybe next year...I'm playin' this now.

Oh and "Popular" was the best album of '07 that NEVER came out,
it was too damn smart for a Black Man to create.
The game is unfortunate.

This and other random things I've seen in the last few days...

2009-09-20T18:07:00.000-05:00

Ok, now that you've had that laugh...

1) Last week, I saw a homeless 20 something white girl get spare change from a homeless looking 40 something black man with a mexican wrestler mask on in broad daylight on the corner of Monroe and State.

2) At a McDonalds...a fat manager eating the fries, and attempting to hide in the back as a customer rush came in.

3) This video...Oh and the Bears loose to the Pack then win to the "world champions".
Better yet, I seen some Steeler Fans get off the Ohare blue line to go to the game, as if everything was cool.

Too bad their trip was a waste!!!!

OH AND STAY TUNED FOR THE TOP 10 CHICAGO MOVIES, and other Top 10 things...

That is all.

Random Axe (I feel shitty for bein' 2 months behind...)

2009-09-19T12:30:00.003-05:00

Yo,

I saw Slaughterhouse live. They was aiight...uninspired at best.

THIS HERE!!! I said it as a joke in passing maybe a month ago that Guilty and Ruck (Sean Price) should get together on some Double Deebo shit!!!!

Low and behold (with Black Milk on the boards) they're about to be the new rap trio to piss hatin' ass mufuckas off while gettin' girls do to nasty shit they shouldn't be doin'.

This gets the IL. SEAL OF APPROVAL!!!!

{click the title to hear their first single}

Why I am a Californication fan now...

2009-09-11T09:01:00.001-05:00

Pretty much (as I add to the blog/twitting/fb polution onset) I like self destruction.
Its interesting to watch. Like a ten car pile up on the expressway. Only problem with watching, the closer you get, the more intimate it becomes with you.

And so as I write this, burning my own person candle at every angle, I've grown fond of another Showtime show, thats about to enter its third season.

Its borderline why it is "fun" to be a writer (in the most cynical, sarcastic, cliche way) and what NOT TO DO if you are a "writer" (but most writers don't believe in conventional logic so...).

Right now I'm on season 1 where he wrote the new book, then lost the book, and doesn't realize that the book is being claimed by his new "muse". As a writer, I was wondering how the truth of what they did would come to light. This is DEFINITELY an angle that I didn't see coming.

Which is why I like this show, shit happens that you DON'T see coming.

Fuck "lost", they're still lost, dumb ass show...

Seen it at the MCA and read it some of it @ Brainstorm Comics in Wicker.

My girl put me up on this. I read this page where Sandman had to battle a demon for his powers.
They dueled by conjuring images that would trump the other image.
I like that alot!!!!!!!!!!!

And right now there's a movie called "The day of the Triffids" playing on channel 20 in the background. Skech might need to watch it.

This is Elevator FIGHT...Get to know them...

2009-08-29T18:31:00.008-05:00

Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet came together and created Vampire Kryptonite (or Vampire Crack, one of the two)...

She's like a Debbie Harry meets Patti Smith (if thats possible) with alittle Betty Davis sprinkled in. I have to stay away from her.

Not to mention, the band she lead sings for is raw.
You will hear alot from them soon.

I'm writing a comic book.

This is one of the best mixtapes I've heard, especially for now.

THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKIN' BOUT!!!! CHICAGO RUN THIS SHIT!!!!!

After hearing about Raekwon having someone knock out Joe Budden...

2009-08-11T13:38:00.002-05:00

I needed a more objective perspective on the spectrum of black male experience
(I don't consider my own experience objective).

Byron Hurt also directed "Beyond Beats and Rhymes" I recommend that one seriously.

I know this seems alittle random, but I try to keep my blog well balanced.

First off I am in no way endorsing this...

2009-08-06T14:21:00.003-05:00

All I know is that niggas don' lost they GATTDAMN MINDS!!!!

YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS COULD GO TO SCHOOL and actually LEARN SOMETHING off that shit!!!!

YOU KNOW HOW MANY CHILDREN LOST THEIR FUCKIN' FINGERS AND ARMS AND SHIT AND WENT BLIND AND SHIT DIGGIN' FOR THAT SHIT!!!!

YOU KNOW HOW MANY RICH, FAT, WHITE MUTHAFUCKAS ARE SITTIN' BACK LAUGHIN' AT HIS DUMB ASS BECAUSE THEY JUST CAME UP OFF THIS STUPID ASS MUTHAFUCKA!!!!

I propose there should be an invention, the muff machine (it will be a huge hand that will SHOVE
the DOG SHIT out of a persons head on cue...for those who don't know what a "muff" is, the less derogatory definition).

It will be used when black celebrities say (i.e. Kanye asking permission of the Jackson's to be the "new" king of pop, 2 weeks after the man's funeral happened) DO STUPID SHIT!!!!!

LIKE HAVING A BLACK DIAMOND LAMBO BE A REMOTE CONTROL CAR!!!!

Do I have better shit to think about, sure I do, but so the FUCK WHAT!!!!
I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SHIT!!!!

damn...

Blu...I OVERSTAND this!!!

2009-07-28T15:27:00.002-05:00

"I use to have peace, sirrenity, teachin' divinity,
break bread, sippin' on blood, eatin' wit enemies, blind,
pearl on my mind, thinkin' we finna be, this that and the third,
boy did I learn, tables turn..."

If you ain't ever experienced this, you GOT to be an alien!!!

Jay Elec...

Shock (4 Grandmaster Flash)

2009-07-03T06:18:00.007-05:00

So I did read some poetry yesterday for an art show
the Tres Collective curated @ Hyde Park Art Center,
and the art I had to read my poems with was made by
this dude who I met @ an art show last year, but I had forgot his name
(yeah, I need to calm down the smoke).
In either which case, I got to know his work then be reintroduced to him,
and he was cool about it.

Here are the pieces ["Speakerboy" and "Speakerboy Epiphany" by Dustin Harris]...

This first one went with the "Clapping" poem.

Then next one went with this poem down here...

Shock (4 Grandmaster Flash)

-
Where you ever a kid?

Child of shot Kings and X’s
over generation gaps
like Sewed skin flabes
from landmind-limb loss,
numb noose, plastic
pulling veins from skinny uncles,
big brothers, and fathers.
auction block draftees,
never totally turning re-
minded shock shells un-
mended, music
spinning sanity,
humanizing home
minders re-
turning totally
never really
left that damned dank dark jungle.

-
Telling a child,
“Don’t be fuckin’ with my records’
is like telling sexed crazied addolesent boy
“Don’t be watchin Cinemax after 12:30am”

Hell,
I saw my first naked woman on
the cover of my dad’s Ohio Players album,
after he told me,
“Don’t be fuckin’ with my records”

-
Have you ever been scolded?
Really,
red skin blisters
crackling palms
peeling prickled
electric endings
tendon tension…
Touch a buzz saw,
lick a frozen lamp post, un-
pressured by peering eyes.
What if peering pulp curses were
paternal?

-
Telling a child
to not tinker,
not to transform
things, inanimate,
to not draw life from rocks,
leggos, dirt, clay, breath in the cold,
mysteries in snowballs,
building sand empires…
How many future doctors are told
to not dissect a frog?
Telling a future engineer
to throw away their Kinnex set…
Telling a future business CEO
to light his monopoly set on fire is nothing
in comparison to
taking your child’s hands,
placing their palms on a boil pointed
radiator,
because those hands are attempting to learn
livelihood,
tinker with things that will help turn,
evolve, grow the lives of everyone around him...
that is fucking shameful.

{oh and don't forget to download the mixtape...}

Clapping (4 Michael)

2009-06-29T18:44:00.004-05:00

first off, I know that most people on earth have been effected either negatively or
positively by this man.

I wrote this to express my subjective opinion on how I feel about his untimely death.

There is a Roger Bonair-Agard quote that inspired me to start this that goes
"His blood is on all our hands" (about Michael Jackson)...

Clapping (4 Michael) by IL. Subliminal

1)
When two hands clasp, embrace,
the friction secretes energy,
Ki’s of heat opening potential
we might have historically harnessed
in ancient sands of
Imhotep mastery,
but now we,
people Black camped
concentrate on consumption,
constipating in reverse.
We hardly know no trade.
We hardly trade no barter.
We mostly wait on couches,
potato baked,
suckling a tubes glass gland,
milking maternal materialism.

2)
Michael was an angel,
with Genitalia,
that he pulled, a lot,
while performing.
Possessed by the spotlight.
Stripping revolutionary,
rotate walking on satellites police only waxed
wanting weeded transmutation
they will never wave-
winged like he
held households,
waning.

3)
Energy never disappears,
never dissipates,
only diverts direction,
even inadvertedly inverse.
Vacuums,
holed hurricanes,
tornado eyes all excrete
extreme implosive circumstance
because of
negatively enforced inertia.

4)
Michael was an angel,
with clipped wings.
The only blues man to ever have his soul
cross-roaded
without his say so.
There is always a reason,
a carrot string,
pulling toward the third railroading
6 train
tracking the ultimate con.
What if the confidence was placed
by
a child’s love,
a child’s need for acceptance,
belonging,
to a family heroine syringe roped to the sound of
audience appreciation?

5)
“Childhood has become the great casualty of modern living,
all around us we are producing scores of kids,
who have not had the joy,
who have not been afforded the right,
who have not been allowed the freedom
of knowing what its like to be a kid.”

In 2001,
Michael Jackson said this to a very quiet
and attentive Oxford audience
after which of course,
they clapped.

{THIS IS THE SPEECH WHERE HE SAID THIS}

this is how I want to remember Mr. Jackson.

Be peaceful (I hope you watched these and listened).

Ol. Skool...

Artificial Intelligence is here!!!

Is it me, or are THESE people clones?

2009-06-22T09:32:00.027-05:00

1) Megan Fox looks ALOT like

2) Angel Luv (save skin color and boob job)

3) Madonna + Cyndi Lauper = BRITNEY Spears (look closely)

Add a little Britney genes into Cristina Aguilara - you get LADY GAGA
Katy Perry (soon to be 2 hit wonder) and Zoey Dechanel (crazy actress chick) They look like TWINS!!!!!!
DON'T BELIEVE ME, GOOGLE THEM!!!!

Also, I have a theory that the "Common" that is out rappin' with the Jonas brothers and shit is not the same dude from 87th. Rasheed is somewhere handcuffed in an Area 51 bunker or some shit.

I ain't goin'!!!!

Get-Along-Gang (Drunken Monkeee, Neo, Ill Legit, Camoflage Jones, Tweak Central Academy) for putting me thru the types of adventures that would teach me how to perform correctly.
Super Heroes of Sound (Itch 13, Aquil, Insight, Seemore Perspective) for always supporting.
Young Chicago Authors for helping me pay my bills and giving me great mentors who made me a better writer.
DJ Sean Doe for showing me the difference between good and bad music.

Letterman/Terminator

2009-06-16T09:40:00.003-05:00

TERMINATOR WAS BULLSHIT!?!?!?!

Ain't no way (spoiler alert)
Skynet would NOT create a human hybrid cyborg who would be able to
rebel against its programming and save John Conner.

I know it was a parallel. A man from the past, as oppose to a man/machine
from the future, saving him.

I know it was a parallel, dude was human instead of robotic.

But that shit was bullshit,
and it felt like it could happen in 5 years,
not like it was science fiction.

McG need to stick to music videos, real shit.
Charlie's Angels is more his speed.
_____________________________________________________________

Leave Letterman alone,

no I haven't heard what he said,
yes, it was prolly full of shit, sexist and shovenistic.

People are calling him the new Don Imus,
it ain't even that serious,
the media just want people to watch Conan.

Just watch both like I do, and don't fuck with the Commercials,
or don't watch either like I do, and go outside and freestyle or something.

The shit ain't that serious.

Maybe I should hear what he said...

Last night...

2009-06-16T09:32:00.002-05:00

I learned that,

I have so farther to go.

My free style gotta get better.

Bottom line.

And I gotta make my crew put a foot in my ass if not,

but I also gotta put a foot in their ass if they're not on their shit.

_______________________________________

Lets see,

I talked to an X who dumped me freshie year of college,
and I came to terms with that.

I realized that I can't afford this rap shit if I'm not working,
and I think I found a job connect :0)

I seen this pimp ass nigga, who I don't trust, but I do respect,
and he said holla at him about some business shit,
even though his best friend just got out of jail for being a street pharmacutical rep.

I hope that nigga didn't drop the soap.

I went to an open mic, and felt ok about just bein' me, no gimmics.

I went to another open mic, and I backed down from the perfect opportunity to battle
this dude and get my rep up...

I realized that I gotta get better.

Today is another chance :0)

Tomorrow Night, I'm having a listening party, you should come thru...

2009-06-15T19:52:00.004-05:00

Right now, I'm just gonna put up a couple pictures cause I made these when I made first started working on this album.

7pm
1180 N. Milwaukee

come hear my album,
come hear some poetry,
come hear some raw beats,
come SEE the Renaissance.

June 13th, 2009 = SUMMER TIME HUSTLENOMICS!!!!

2009-06-13T07:55:00.009-05:00

this is where you will find my next album.

All of the music will be original, but redone samples that either inspired me,
or that I liked since starting this project (at 18 yrs old).

I know now that alot of samples will not only get you sued,
but publicists and investors don't want anything to do with samples because they simply cost too much.

So, that is why the first one (As any good dealer knows)
is FREE.

JUNE 18TH, 7PM, 2009.

UNTIL THEN, SEE ME IN THE STREETS TODAY!!!!

SUMMER TIME HUSTLENOMICS!!!!!

Saw the Wolverine bootleg...

2009-06-13T04:18:00.003-05:00

THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY THAN A MUFUCKA!!!!

If you haven't seen it, watch THE BOOTLEG! You wil get your money's worth...

Even in comedic form though, Star Trek whoops its naturally healing factored ass.

New Chicago videos!!!

2009-06-04T13:40:00.004-05:00

Kid Static + Yea Big (Static is a good dude, I worked security with him last summer)

Ill Legit's video (gotta respect the sick niggas)

Ill Legit feat. Wes Restless - Too Familiar (prod. by Dario) from Nick Castle on Vimeo.

Yeah, I gotta get my video game up!!!

Man, it was a crazy day today...

2009-06-04T01:58:00.002-05:00

I came to the conclusion that I might need to utilize this Blog as a journal instead of just postin' videos.

In either which case,
first off,
I feel a personal renassance comin' on.
So I'm just puttin' myself into my own lane.
If anyone don't like it, just know,
good :)
I need more haters :)

Second,
I really like the Chopin Theater.
It was the first place I went to when I found out about
Young Chicago Authors (.org).

One of my co-worker/mentors named Robbie Q,
he had his 7th Encyclopedia show (maybe I should find a link, maybe later, its 2 in the morning).
and that shit is an ingenius avenue for the comedic/theatric growth of what is known
as performance poetry.

Next season is gon' be raw.

In either which case, I gotta start up this Hip-Hop Theater joint,
so at the very least I have a place to do my one man show.

I think there might be a market for it.
Hip hop is adult contemporary music, and there are alot of artists
who jump between categories so it might be a good thing to put up/promote.

Yeah,
so I also heard this group/emcee named 5-1 today @ The Darkroom.
He sampled that ol' dub track Lucifer (famously sampled by Kanye).

This new shit is way more raw than Kanye's (however sacriligious that sounds).

Also, speakin' of Kanye,
he made a video for Paranoid (my favorite song off the album).
I don't like the video.

Its too avant garde for me. The song is happy, even though its called Paranoid,
and he went too much with the feeling of the subject matter and not the feeling of the song.

I'm sure he did this on purpose, he's a jerk.

In either which case, Tomorrow Kings is the shit (I gotta say that once a blog).

I got a show comin' up, I'm a post the plugger tomorrow along with some other shit.
Oh and Dan Sullivan (Poet/Bartender/Irish Vegetarian) has a blog website "Cureforyourrallies.com",
I might add that to the link list.

Aiight, thats it, I'm goin' to sleep.

I might start postin' poetry on here too.

You ever realize that King Joffy Joffer is also Darth Vader...

This seems abit old, but he might be better than Twista...

2009-05-13T18:53:00.000-05:00

Jyroscope - Got 'em in the cockpit

Official Video "Got Em N Da Cockpit"

Simple, Live as FUCK, Honest, Fun, Real!!!!

The best local videos that I'VE seen in a while...

2009-05-07T14:01:00.003-05:00

In no particular order... these are videos that I've seen from local emcees that actually look like REAL VIDEOS,
not cliches of bein' in the club, not home made, borin' lookin' bullshit,
BUT REAL VIDEOS like JUKEBOX (call it in, b4 youtube and such)

In either which case, I know I got to, so if you dont' like it, STEP YA GAME UP!!!

Mikkey Halsted - Liquor Store

ILL Nature - This ain't no game

Phillip Morris - Mr. Morris

Marvel Vs. DC again...

2009-05-06T14:38:00.003-05:00
