Coded Language |
Whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diaspora |
community to its drum-woven past. |
Whereas the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to calculate |
the everchanging distance between rock and stardom. |
Whereas the velocity of spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, |
and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history, |
yet at a different moment in time’s continuum, has allowed history to catch up |
with the present. |
We do hereby declare reality unkept by the changing standards of dialogue. |
Statements such as «keep it real», especially when punctuating or anticipating |
modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically, |
or depicting an unchanging rule of events, |
will hence forth be seen as retro-active and not representative of the |
individually determined is. |
Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of |
being |
and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular |
manifestations, |
the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased by a number |
no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors. |
Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize. |
We have found evidence that hip hop’s standard 85 rpm |
when increased by a number of at least half the rate of its standard |
or decreased to ¾ of its speed |
may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness. |
Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging, |
the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth. |
Equate rhyme with reason |
Sun with season |
Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the |
centers of periods, |
thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect. |
Reject mediocrity! |
Your current frequencies of understanding |
outweigh that which has been given for you to understand. |
The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet |
of an infant. |
The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptoms, |
and could not properly mature on a diet of applesauce and crushed pears. |
Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness. |
The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, |
ignorance, but with the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen. |
Thus, in the name of: |

We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter. |
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun. |
We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us. |
We are determining the future at this very moment. |
We know that the heart is the philosophers' stone. |
Our music is our alchemy. |
We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a handful of |
minerals, |
thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussive |
factor of forever. |
If you must count to keep the beat then count. |
Find your mantra and awaken your subconscious. |
Walk your circles counterclockwise. |
Use your cipher to decipher coded language, manmade laws. |
Climb waterfalls and trees; |
commune with nature, snakes and bees. |
Let your children name themselves and claim themselves |
as the new day for today |
We are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies into songs, |
paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry, crafts, love, |
and love. |
We enlist every instrument: acoustic, electronic. |
Every so-called gender, race, sexual preference. |
Every per-son as beings of sound |
to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness |
of the entire fucking world. |
Any utterance unaimed, will be disclaimed, will be maimed — two rappers slain. |
