Behind The Minds Eye: KEN E

Whats good folks, this is my man Ken-E from the Streets, he is a producer, emcee, singer, break dancer, musician and so on. He is a very talented brother from the Norf Cak, this is his track Crazy baby featuring Pat Neezy. Be on the look out for his solo project dropping second quarter of 09. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite tracks by any artist period and not because I am featured on the remix(shameless plug). Feel free to leave comments and feedback its just a snippet and just know I don't care what anyone things, this is my jawn.

Dilla Time Piece

I had to post this, this was a post that was on cratekings, big up to cratekings. Its amazing how a timeless artist gets a timepiece. Dilla deserves this, support true talent and educated yourself and loved ones about lupus and breast cancer.

Peace
EOP

Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique, Leroy Jenkins, and the Toy Watch Company came together to create a timepiece dedicated to the one and only production master J Dilla. With proceeds of the watch going to benefit Ma Dukes, having one of these on your wrist is almost a no brainer.

No word on pricing or exact availability, but it’s been said that there will be a limited quantity produced.

Hip-Hop Won’t Stop: The Beat, The Rhymes, The Life

Good Day or Night to all of you…

Who would have ever thought Hip Hop would make it to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History? Well guess what it’s in the works right now! Check this out & Peace- Infinity



Multi-year initiative to gather broad collection on hip-hop culture and culminate in comprehensive exhibition

Some 30 years after it emerged from the neighborhoods of the South Bronx, N.Y., hip-hop has evolved into a pervasive and global cultural phenomenon. In 2006, the National Museum of American History launched a major collecting initiative, “Hip-Hop Won’t Stop: The Beat, The Rhymes, The Life.”
The museum’s multi-year project will trace hip-hop from its origins in the 1970s, as an expression of urban black and Latino youth culture, to its status today. By collecting from the hip-hop community, the museum will build an unprecedented permanent collection that will document the undeniable reach of hip-hop and commemorate it as one of the most influential cultural explosions in recent history.
“Hip-hop has reached well beyond its urban roots to diverse national dimensions and has been an integral part of American culture for almost 30 years,” said Brent D. Glass, director of the National Museum of American History. “The National Museum of American History is committed to telling the story of the American experience, and with the significant contributions from the hip-hop community, we will be able to place hip-hop in the continuum of American history and present a comprehensive exhibition,” he added.
Through “Hip-Hop Won’t Stop,” the museum plans to collect objects from all aspects of hip-hop arts and culture—music, technology, sports, graffiti, fashion, break dancing and language—including vinyl records, handwritten lyrics, boom boxes, clothing and costumes, videos and interviews, disc jockey equipment and microphones, personal and business correspondence, and posters and photos.
“Born out of poverty and the need to draw attention to social conditions, hip-hop, is amazingly creative and embodies innovation and invention,” said Marvette Pérez, curator at the National Museum of American History. “The genre is fluid and transforms itself continuously. This music speaks to people across the world as it is easily adapted to the music and language of other countries, however, the genre is sometimes misunderstood and misrepresented due to the content,” she added.
Over the next three to five years, the museum plans to reach out to the hip-hop community across the nation to gather additional objects and oral histories. An advisory panel, made up of artists, producers, scholars and others will assist in defining and refining the project. The museum also will host a number of public programs and scholarly symposia to further explore the content. Watch this space for news!
During a special ceremony in New York on February 28, 2006, hip-hop pioneers Russell Simmons, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, Ice T, Fab 5 Freddy, and Crazy Legs participated in a press event announcing the Museum's initiative. Several of these hip-hop greats, including MC Lyte, were the first to donate objects to “Hip-Hop Won’t Stop: The Beat, The Rhymes, The Life.”
The long-range vision for “Hip-Hop Won’t Stop” includes a comprehensive exhibition for millions of museum visitors and a companion traveling display.
Staff will be seeking financial support from individuals, corporations and associations to fund the project.
The National Museum of American History is committed to exploring the entire breadth of American history. To do so, the museum preserves some three million artifacts, including Duke Ellington’s unpublished music; costumes from Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald and Celia Cruz; and instruments used by Prince, Tito Puente and Herbie Hancock.

To Donate Objects:
If you wish to donate objects to the collection, please contact the museum at hiphop@si.edu or (202)-633-3613.

To Be a Sponsor:

This multi-year project to build the collection and to develop and construct the exhibition will cost approximately $2 million. If you wish to be part of this exciting new initiative to bring hip-hop to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and would like to provide financial support, please contact the project at hiphop@si.edu or (202)-633-3613.

Son of A Crackhead Part 2

The anger still fills my lungs as I breathe in....
i sit there and wonder, when will she ever come in
she has been missing for 3 whole days
my mind, stomach, and strength, weaken' in so many ways
no food in the house, my brother crying, pain in his belly
sad too say, all that's in the fridge is jelly
he screams and i don't know what too do
if you haven't realized this is son of a crackhead part 2
the fruit is so black, i wouldn't feed it to a dog
i run too the door to see if she may be walking up the street?
only to see her, get knocked off her feet
I run out the door too her aid
but, by that time i reached her, blood everywhere, i stayed....
crying...feelin so empty..cause if i had checked the door a few seconds ago...
she wouldn't be laying here...yall..she would be still here ready to go
yes she is a crackhead..but this is my mother
not to be mistaken for no other
she gave her life away for a hit
now we say goodbye, my brother looks sick...
eyes close....skin pale..I've never seen her like this
she looks so peaceful...and god if u are listening...please give her a kiss....
she preferred things over her kids...that's what was said...
forever i will be s.o.c....a son of a crackhead
