The Time is Now

I love the whole Minneapolis movement...Prince, Morris, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, all of them folks! I just adore this album cover by The Time. Look at buddy in the pink suit...dope. They meant business on this shit. Lol!

Way of living

This serves as inspiration to me...hope you can take from it too.


What you know about the running, the stretching
The cars, the weapons
The path, the journey
The jewels, the learning
The fear, the focus
The aches, the pains
The contact sparrin', the breaks, the sprains
The trial and error, the ranks, and belts
The spiritual growth, the science of breath
The tests, the techniques
The forms, the stances
The flow, the rhythm, the internal answers
The herbs, the healing, the quiet meditation
The truths reveal through daily dedication
The love for the art, the sweat on your shirt
The mind, the body, and the spirit that work
The feelings of failure, the hope to succeed
The battles of questions like "Should I smoke weed?"

The water, the thirst
The cleansing, the blessings
The flash of insights, the teachings, the lessons
The grappling and locking, trapping and boxing
The training and slacking
The starting and stopping
And stayin' committed, when your homies ain't with it
The hours or practice after the class is finished
The cause of your ignorance, flaws in your discipline
Broken laws of nutrition, and pork and dishin'
The vitamins and supplements
Salads and ointments

The kingships, pull joints in doctor appointments
The dues, the pads, the wraps, the gloves
The mouthpiece you left home, the taste of your own blood
The hunger, the blocks
The punches, the squats
The crunches, the example you set for the youngsters
The will, the skills, the kill or the hill
The separation between what's fake and what's real
The laws of physics, The class "comradery"
The vows of humility, the bow, the courtesy.

My inpiration for the Fall....

God put me on this Earth to Create and Inspire...but sometimes people suck so much from me that I need to refuel. Well its time for refueling...and I am digging in the crates. I love a girl that kicks ass. Part Tomboy...part round the way girl...part girly. After seeing Bebe ads for Fall '09, and Krush Groove, I have been looking to Sheila E. for that inspiration. I am the worlds biggest Prince fan...so anyone involved in that camp is dope to me. I am crossing my fingers...and hopefully I can get back on track.
Check out one of the dopest percussionists in the game...Ms. Sheila E.

What I am digging at the moment...

I might have blogged about her before...but after seeing a show called Unsung on TVONE about singer Minnie Ripertons life...my love I already had for this late artist, grew more. It was beautifully documented, and I began to search online to hear more of her work. I found gems that were undiscovered, but definitely inspiring. Especially music from her first two albums, Come to my garden and Perfect Angel. Her voice is so pretty. Its very sensual, sweet, yet sexy and girly. Also, she was dope on the fashion tip, google her. I posted a couple of my fav songs from Minnie...hopefully you all enjoy.
