LYRICS

I’m tired of Black murders

If they the new slaves we the New Nat Turners

No bodyguards no entourage

We them Cinque niggas taking the Amistad

Bombaclad we need to fast like Ramadan

The industry’s a bunch of fake heros like Comic-Con

Behind that mask you Robert Downey jr

My sheros got a 2 million bounty on her future

Mutulu’s locked in San Bernardino County as a shooter

You some go a long to get a long howie y’all neutered

I’m a mother f*cking Truther

My truth scars you gonna need a mother f*cking suture

Don’t let these new Stephen ass niggas recruit ya

Cause when Monsieur Candie gets tired he gonna mute ya

And I ain’t Django either

I ain’t waiting for no white man to come and give me my freedom

I won’t join em I’ll beat em leave em rottin in the hot sun

Rockin em with the shotgun Shotta I’m the top one

Tell the coroner box em eulogize then drop em

If the chose is freedom or death then what’s the option?

Oh y’all them RG3 niggas

Smiling at the camera them happy that y’all can please niggas

I’m Barack but Fonzworth is a marine nigga

Deep like the mind of Farrakhan I’m on my dean nigga

That’s why I never believe niggas

Oh you got them instagrams how come we never see pictures

Then claim God but never read scriptures

So we worship fame because a celebrities richer

So Jesus becomes Yeezus

then I guess Kim Kardashian is Mary Magdalene

And all her sins are cleansed through the camera lens

But then again maybe I’m just rambling

Line up these industry CEOs and let me battle them

Show Jimmy Iovine the crime scene with his headless brethren and tell him sign these

And when I hear sirens disconnect his neck from his spine clean

The difference my spitting is the equivalent of using ya high beams

All I want is you and ya mind freed the time needs

Way more than a nice beat and a rhyme scheme

Cause all that bull shit y’all talking don’t fertilize seeds

I heard it takes 2 chains to make a slave

One on your physical frame and one on ya brain

And once they got ya mental enslaved it runs like a train

So what are you really saying when you claim you stuck in the game

See they create corporations cause they never wanted fame

So the nigga that you see is the nigga that’s underpaid

Damn just another slave

I’m Jean-Jacques Dessalines I swing a mother f*cking blade

Jay-Z Responds to His Cuban Crisis w/ an Open Letter

Jay-Z got inspired the other night responded with vigor to his critics about his trip to Cuba…The song is called ‘Open Letter’ and the beat is slamming and is no doubt a serious head nodder.. You know its gonna anger all sorts of folks who are already heated, because he says in the song he loves Cubans.. His critics are saying by going to Cuba, he is showing hatred.. He starts off the song by saying he’ll turn Havana into Atlanta..Not sure if folks in Havana wanna see gentrification in their beloved city..because thats what has happened with the ATL.. No Beds, Baths and Beyond in Havana..

Jigga also talks about Obama and whether or not he’ll be selling his portion of the Brooklyn Nets..The hook to the song says’ ‘You Gonna Learn to Today‘. Ideally what we all learn is that Cuba has a dope education system which produces doctors who make major moves in healing people.. We could learn from that..We could also learn how to be self sufficient the way Cuban’s have been.. Folks are still surviving in spite of the crippling embargo we’ve put on them over the past 50 years..

Great song.. Glad Jay-Z responded.. Personally I wish he had shouted out or kicked a rhyme for Kimani Gray the young man gunned down by police in Brooklyn which set off 4 days of unrest in the East Flatbush last month.. I wish he would’ve said something about the unrest and the fact Stop-N-Frisk is on trial with cops revealing they been ordered to meet quotas and target young Black men and teens.. In any case that’s, just me expressing my ideal scenario.. Open Letter is a good song and maybe Jay-Z will return with more heat..

Jasiri X Responds to Rick Ross.. Teams Up w/ Brother Ali About Pillars

Pittsburgh rapper and activist Jasiri X has been on fire… His new album Ascension is  masterpiece spawning several videos which are on point and inspiring.. The music is soulful.. The subject matter is thoughtful.. He’s also been focusing on subject matter that takes you deeper terrain then we normally travel in Hip Hop, but has been rooted in a tradition of African-American music ala Afrika Bambaataa, George Clinton and Sun-Ra before him.. He’s been talking about life and times beyond our  earthly dimensions as well as religion…Cuts like Wheels best illustrate this.. The videos to the song Pillars featuring Brother Ali also touch in that direction..

Yesterday we sat down w/ Jasiri X and Interviewed him… here’s our Breakdown FM Intv

Jasiri X has also been keeping his shoulder to the grind as an activist.. Him and his partner Paradise Gray from the legendary group X-Clan have been operating full steam ahead with their 1Hood Media Academy.. local youth from all over the Pittsburgh area come through and are taught how to be media makers and to be media justice advocates..

In recent days Jasiri has stepped up to join the fight to hold artist accountable about violence against women and to push back on rape culture. Below is him responding to the lyrics rapper Rick Ross put in a song U.O.E.N.O. (You Ain’T Even Know It) where he talks about drugging a girl so he can have sex with her..the lyric in question goes; Put molly all in her champagne/ She ain’t even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain’t even know it.”
