I was waiting for someone to call me out on it.
You got me. Guilty as charged. It’s been in the back of my head for days. Not to mention, this blog is my default for my web browser every time I get on the net. I see it everyday and neglect it. However, as you noticed and others may have too, I’ve been involved with a new blog project. You can check it out here.
This site will continue to run, however due to some mix-ups I need to change some of the aesthetic design and mistitling. Unfortunately I’ve been super focused on this new blog insomuch my personal one isn’t getting any love. That will change soon. But for now, finals, eccentric relaxation, birthday, then christmas.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
With Love, Ethnick
“check out the Hip Hop Fest this Saturday
me and my boys are on a mission like Latter Days”
Its gonna be dope. In all honesty, I should be having (not the worst but) one of the most depressing weeks of my life, but I’m not. I love the fact that I can say what I want, and have people listen and respond positively by just playing a beat behind me. I’m somewhat restricted by group dynamics and moral uniformity, BUT for the most party, I say what I want.
I love hip hop. About three years ago, I would not have said that. I was sheltered from the essence. I heard beats, they sounded cool. Then I heard lyrics about gangs. I wasn’t down. I heard lyrics belittle women. Wasn’t down. I heard the contradictions of ghetto struggle over the rattle of the 2 pound platinum chain loaned by the record label. Didn’t make sense, and I was not down. I thank my brothers for opening my eyes. Rarely does anybody find the underground on their own. I was shown the way, and am thankful. Not to be mistaken, in the underground I found a lot of the same crap. The only difference was the ratio. (More good than bad). Most importantly, I found the art behind hip hop music. I saw the creativity, the passion, the skill and humility. I found it. I found it. That means it’s mine right?
Anyways, enough of my banter. Come to my show. Please.
It actually starts at 8pm … old poster.

Two New Shadrach Releases!!!
Eccentric Relaxation & Cosmic Energy
Fixin the Shade- Shadrach (One Half of PANDA) 2008
Both are work/school friendly. (C’mon its me!) When I say “download” I mean that you can listen to the songs and IF you have QuickTime, you can download them onto your computer as well. So if you’re reading this and want to listen but can’t download.. you can do it! To download click the drop-box arrow on the far right of the player when the song is done loading. Then click Save As Source… and walla!

Regarding the reactions of those disgusted by the the outcome of Proposition 8 being passed in California: Baby steps.
As unfair as it sounds, equality is not rewarded by demand or warded by law, it is earned. Oppressed stay so, no matter the situation. If said oppressed are un-rightly so then change will come. But not right away.
My opionion on this matter is irrelevant. However, what is relevant is idea that America’s biggest divide is one based off of the teachings of the Holy Bible. We’ve seen this influence of relgioin upon gay marriages, abortion, and civil rights (for African American AND women) issues. Christians “beleive” the Bible is true insomuch that they follow its teachings. These teachings speak directly on the topics we so dearly argue today. When debating, liberlists pull out scientific facts, Christians site quote from the Bible, and both sides feel as though they have reliable sources. What the non-religious, more progressive, folks need to understand is the background of Bible beleivers and why stick to their Word. In the same breathe Christian’s need to utilize the question “why” more often instead of being spoon feed by televangelists. What we all need to understand is that both groups are never going to agree, but there may be a middle ground. Until then, relax.
