Hip Hop - Voice Of The Street Pirate: A Documentary Series

The latest edition of "XXL" Magazine asks: "Does Getting Locked Up HURT or HELP Rappers?"

In their bit of hedonism they fail to ask: "Do the messages precipitated by 'Hop Hop-Voice Of The Street Pirate' advance or stunt the consciousness and interests of the Black community and all who live within it?"

Follow my line of thinking for a second. The goal is to take some real world examples that are sure to trigger a response from the "Defenders Of Blackness" and then to construct a parallel to the issue at hand.

WHAT IF

A series of news stories show that Black people are being assaulted on the streets, all over the country.   The common patter is that White skin head organizations are involved in all of these assaults.  Upon further inspection it is noted that there is a common theme in the messages that flow within this underground lifestyle.

This message is in their music.  The music has a lyrical style upon which their ultimate agenda is carried forth to everyone.  Supplementing the music is their magazines, their style of dress, their tatoos, their video programs which are broadcast over the Internet.  A watered down version of these messages also appear on broadcast television.

QUESTION:  As we look at the END RESULTS - (Assaulted Black People and Black community living in a terrorized state)  Do YOU believe that upon seeing this systematic scheme that the Black Establishment forces and their White Snarling Fox supporters (ex: Rachel Maddow, etc) would sit back and PASSIVELY watch as all of this transpires?

What if their PROTECTORS within their extended community struck back against anyone who dared called out these Skinheads?  They argue that the vast majority of these Skinheads are non-violent.  The critics are taking the actions of a few and attempting to indict them all.  All the while the "corporate media and news organizations" are blamed for emphasizing the few who do wrong while suppressing the "Conscious Skinheads" and their positive messages. 

Would they blow this movement off as merely "young people expressing themselves"?
Would they make note of the spirit of these young people and attempt to redirect this movement toward a POLITICAL end?   If these people did appear on stage in support of an established political party candidate would this pass without challenge?

Take this framework about the Skin Heads and apply it to the HIP HOP - VOICE OF THE STREET PIRATE.   Then ask yourself WHY these very same systematic violations of the Black Community's trust are allowed?

Hip Hop - Voice Of The Street Pirates

Its one thing to argue that the "system" is systematically oppressing a class of people in America and as a response - they form an underground culture that fills the void that is created from being a "disposable class" in America.   It is a very different issue when those who are providing the indictment against America are silent about the ORGANIZED and INTENTIONAL images and messages that this genre bathes in.  When one's "street cred" is built up within this space by one's ability to push the line with socially destructive behavior - WHO will step in and provide limits?

Change that last statement.  Let's take away "socially destructive" because this may allow some of you to dismiss this as "the White man's rules".  Let is say that this behavior is a violation of the PERMANENT INTERESTS of the Black Community from which they come from.   Does this fact increase the interests of the "Defenders of Blackness"?

I know how it works folks.  The Black Establishment will accuse me of "Blaming the Victims" of this American system which has discarded people.  They would prefer that I take down my protest signs against "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" and instead join them in their march against "Da Man".  I have already proven to you that their march has little integrity.  Their past marches against the men who held the seats of power over the local seats in their government has now shifted to the national stage.  Its not that these local seats have lost their power or have stopped failing them.  The only thing that has changed is that a "favorable person" now occupies these local seats.  Thus since theirs is a "grievance based movement" they must scale their struggle, following "the enemy" where he has departed to.




The Defenders Of The Status Quo WITHIN The Black Community

The "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" movement is a movement that exists in a period of time in which the "Civil Rights Movement" has been WON. With all of the low hanging fruit of our oppressors having been picked off of the tree and the middle rung of fruit 98% consumed as well - this force represents "UnDEPLOYED Minds" who have little to do because the threat that they would have had to rally against is now held in check by the threat of government prosecution.

The forces from this struggle are now in power. The problem is that these establishment forces have not learned their role in the "Human Resource Management" space that this now affords them.  Their forte is PROTEST not GOVERNANCE and thus we see the outward shift - the run up to take control of the federal government cast as the grand scheme to insure abundance within the local places that they now control.

I suspect that after this grand victory at the top they will return to the local communities and see great carnage.  This carnage and destroyed consciousness is a direct result of their failure to construct a culture of competency and restraint.  They failed to confront those who actively conspired to make use of the most vile and hedonistic attributes that exist in the conversation between individuals in a community.

Now they find themselves at a cross road.   For so long those who argued that a Black man who was locked had merely violated laws that had been created in some distant legislative body and was enforced by an occupying foreign army of police.  Today they find themselves as this "authority" of law creation and law enforcement and must confront the permanent revolutionary messages that they once harvested and cherry picked for the benefit of their own purposes in the "American Political Domain".


Some of these same people are the most articulate purveyors of 'victimization talk'.  They can pinpoint the historical date in which "the Black African had his CULTURE stripped away from him".  They can tell us WHO DID THIS TO US - and have a oil painting of the assailant because photographic equipment was not invented at the time.  I applaud them on their skills.

I notice, however, that they are totally incompetent when it comes to making note of the CULTURE that is forming right under their noses.   They are keenly aware of the hipocrisy of a Sarah Palin who has bible service out on the front porch of her house, while her daughter opens the window of her bedroom to allow her boyfriend who climbed up the tree to sneak in.  They are unable to see their own open window regarding who is "having their way" with their own family jewels - and the deadly and destructive effects there in.

The key problem is that when it comes to the RACISTS that the "RACISM CHASERS" always have an eye out for - they have cause to hide their racism.  Fear not though - Black folks have experts who can "read between the lines" and interpret what the racists who "speak in tongues" was really saying when they spoke.  When it comes to "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" they have no inclination to hide their assaults upon our community.   They receive more "street cred" when they do so.

All of this is such a strange parallel to the actions of Al Queda and their access to the video camera.  When it comes to the human rights violations done by the US Military those who seek to maintain the highest standards among our troops must sue under the "Freedom of Information Act" to have the evidence released.  However Al Queda actively publishes its own violations (ie: the  head of a captive being cut off) so that the rest of the world can see what will happen to them if they don't back off.

WHAT IS THE COMMON THREAD?

This is nothing more than an issue of "Power Relationships".  There is the ESTABLISHMENT and then there are the ANARCHISTS.  There is nothing new here.  This has been seen globally and through out time.

The key distinction, however, is that the Black Progressive Establishment has failed to make note that with its new POWERS they must establish a new order over these young people who engage in Anarchical Voice Of the Street Pirate to yield to.   Todate the establishment feels that they can do a "collabo" with them.  Thus far they are BFFs as they stand against the White Conservative Republican establishment who they are unified in their contempt for.

Ironically many of these same people make note that demographic changes in the United States will render the White Conservative Establishment power to that of a retreating glacier due to Global Warming.   Thus they focus on the new powers that they will have.  They fail to make note of the new RESPONSIBILITIES that this will bring their way as well.

THEY will be responsible for fielding a new order of control over the masses and will shoulder the burden to educate, fund, heal and render "conflict resolution" services upon these masses.

In order for this new system to be maintained over the duration of time those who are now PROGRESSIVE will have to become CONSERVATORS of the system that they have struggled to place on the playing field as the new rules.

Time to step out of the recording studio in which you rap about the "hard knock life" on your streets and instead construct the infrastructure that your community needs to operate off of.   This also means that you need to confront those systematic movements that seek to up-end everything that you have built.

The glacier that you seek to redirect everything toward is melting................................................
