This is an article that I found while searching Google with the tag, "anti mainstream rap."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A1064170
It's a trip how the mainstream rap that is absorbed and suppressed through the eardrums of most youth and people in general is extremely redundant in all ways. It's as simple as this: Would you rather have 200 albums of the same 5 rappers you see on MTV/BET and hear on your FM radio dial rapping about completely redundant and mundane topics? Or would you rather have thousands of CD's from a various amount of artists in the underground hip hop game that rap about more than jewelry, cars, drugs, and sex?
The choice is very simple! One million points for underground hip hop, ZERO for mainstream rap! (The 'c' in 'rap' is silent).

DAMN! That was so funny, I forgot to laugh. No really..I forgot to laugh.
It's kind of interesting how we as minorities (blacks especially) are the scapegoats and entertainers for people of Anglo-Saxon descent. The brunt of all jokes, I guess. I know this video above is completely and utterly ignorant in all of its intent to marginalize and degrade all black people into one stupid and utterly feeble-minded attempt at comedic fruition. Yes, I do realize that to those of you that aren't of Black descent will consider this merely a simple joke, but it isn't. This is the kind of buffoonery and lackluster attempts of comedic skits and vignettes that grace the TV screens. This skit in particular came from a show on the FUSE network called "The Whitest Kids You Know." You can also find skits of the "Hitler Rap" and of "Timmy Poops His Pants" on their YouTube account. I didn't realize that my generation was so absorbed with championing mediocrity through the arenas and venues of mainstream TV channels, magazines and websites. But, yes...these guys on "The Whitest Kids You Know" are basically just following in the footsteps of MTV's "Jackass." What could you expect from pseudo aspiring actors that received prime time TV slots on two very prominent networks owned by the same conglomerate corporation? Exactly! Nothing much, right?
Why must my generation be known as the 'lazy, ignorant and completely insipid' generation? Why must we be consumed with exalting mediocrity through our arenas of entertainment? I don't see what's funny or even amusing about this kind of crap! But, go figure.

...I write bombs with ink blots...(Freestyle Numero Vingt-Neuf) 28
Sometimes I sit at this desk and I have nothing to write about at the time of my writing's conception, but it is almost instantaneously that a topic seems to pop into my mind when I began to type. I am going to consider this blog a freestyle; there will be no formal structure to this writing. Sometimes, writing exercises such as this help to shape a writer's imagination and thinking process for their future writings. I was taught that writing freestyle everything that comes to your mind at the time was a great way to bring out everything that you wanted to say for the past couple of days that just didn't seem to come out in words or even text. When you write something that is extremely formal, you have to make sure that you are writing something that is ultimately perfect and flawless as can be. When a person writes something formally, they stop to think of what they should and shouldn't write. Writer restricts themselves when they write formal things such as articles, essay, etc.
Other than writing these blogs about two to three times a week on average, I also keep a notebook of poems and a journal that I write in quite frequently. Generally when I write my blogs, I try to think out a topic to write about that will make sense to most people, but when I write in my journal and book of poems, I could careless if I have misspellings or poor grammar. I guess this will be considered the first time that I published one of my blogs without any particular format or even a structure. Oh, well!
I will be back at home in California for good on the 18th of this month! Thank God! I haven't seen a palm tree or a beach since January! More importantly, I haven't seen any of my friends or family since January! But, with the grace of God, I pray that I will at least get to see all of them at least one more time.
Oh, yeah! I'm not coming back to this college; I'm transferring to Menlo College back home in the Bay Area in California!

Let's talk about the things that have not changed since the last post I wrote on Sunday. I am going to bed extremely late and waking up late as well. I feel a bit disquieted and unhappy about my situation in life right now. The feeling of something stressing you out to the points of transient insanity is not the greatest feeling especially when there's nothing you can do about the stress causing factor 3,000 miles away from home. I need to find some means to relieve the stress, so that maybe tonight I will actually be able to receive a sufficient amount of sleep. I wake up after 8-10 hours of sleep and still feel like the tiresome slack that lied awake restless in his bed with his mind racing at 100 thoughts per minute. I know that getting my ass back into the gym would be a great way to relieve this stress. For some reason, sweating in excessive amounts during a strenuous workout always seems to keep my mind and body at ease. Yes...a hard workout in the gym is exactly what I need right now, so off I go.

I have been falling asleep as the 6AM Sun creeps through my apartment's generic blinds; I have been waking up to the midday Sun's blatant stare through my window. Already, I am an anchorite; I have fallen deeper in this state of mind where all is just so banausic and mundane. Nothing in my life seems to be going right; everything has fallen by the wayside. If this cliche wasn't at all worn-out and even more revolting to hear, nothing seems to have that luster or sheen of color. The fulgid glisten of the Earth's tone's (orange, blue, green, etc.) have been traded for my ephemeral colorblindness.
If only things would change soon enough. If only the grays that have taken over my sight would be overcome with the ordinary beautiful hues of the world. What could cause such a dark and mundane moment in a twenty-two year old's life? The age when most are graduating from college and trying to find a balance in paying bills and their rent, but yet still longing for the semesters of years past when everyday was met with oblivion and carefree. Where did those days go?
Suffocate me all you need, I won't breathe but it's o.k.
You'll be somewhere around me, and I won't need air.
-Armor For Sleep

It's Like MK Ultra Controlling Your Brain
The more and more I think about the Virginia Tech murders that occurred this morning, I draw my own conclusion that was not drawn from what I have been bombarded with on the television screens and computer screens on ABC, CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, etc. networks. I don't believe that this individual that murdered so many people in today's premeditated act was alone on this murdering spree. And, I also don't believe that he was just an ordinary college student that had a break-up with a girlfriend that caused him to go on a killing spree on campus.
MK Ultra was a government run program that was used to brainwash particular civilians by sensory and auditory divestiture. I believe that the individual at Virginia Tech was a victim of this "program," and therefore was subjected to doing such a horrendous act on this damp and dark morning. The "failing of a class and break up of a girlfriend" was basically a media ploy to get the masses to fall for such propaganda. Think about it; how else would an engineering student at one pretty prestigious university in the rural area of Virginia get the professional training of murdering over thirty people in a small increment of time? It just makes complete and utter sense to me that this individual was under the MK Ultra program. The same way the marines and many of the military personnel are trained to become such savage killing machines is the same way that individuals are brainwashed during the MK Ultra experiments.
A bystander said that the killer was killing the victims "almost professionally," and you still believe he killed so many people with two handguns? Yeah..that's extremely viable in such of an event! Wake up, people! Don't let the media talking heads pull your mind around with this "he shot the whole campus up because his girlfriend left him" crap. It's much deeper than that; he was controlled by some group or entity.

The underground scene has always been seen by large mainstream record labels such as Atlantic, Arista, and Columbia as a threat. There actually are a certain large number of artists that could careless about being on MTV's number one requested show, TRL, or being in heavy rotation by one of Clear Channel's radio stations. The main problem I have with the commercial music scene is that the artists don't have complete artistic control of what they can produce on their albums. They have to go through A&R's and then a board at their record company before their music can even be heard by the masses. If the music that they want to produce isn't of a "bubble-gum pop" nature, then it generally won't be made public.
The mainstream music scene is entertainment; the underground (independent) music scene is art. It's sad how music is an element of art (such as sculpture, drama, or dance) but in the mainstream circuit, has become more of an entertainment ground to produce some of the most untalented people that call themselves "artists." Since when did shaking your ass in a video like the "infectiously" popular Pussycat Dolls become popular? Oh...yeah...that's right...I forgot! They only became popular because "sex sells!" The mainstream music motto of 'showing a little ass" can be seen in both genders of male and female.
The independent and commercial music scenes are polar opposite, but when people choose music saturated with sex, drugs, and violence just because it's the popular thing to do, that's utterly sad.

Spartan Workout
And you thought your workout routine was over-exerting your body. It's truly amazing that pushing your body to limits like this really does pay off.
