FREE DOWNLOAD: Del The Funky Homosapien
Funk Man (the stimulus package)
Now, we have the .44 cent Obama Tacos in my neck of the woods but this is a stimulating stimulus package. Oakland rapper Del The Funky Homosapien is offering his latest project Funk Man (the stimulus package) as a free download. I don't think I have to say anymore. Stop by this awesome website with some bad (meaning good) graphics to download. Get Funk Man (the stimulus package). On behalf of the hip hop community, thank you Del in a big way... Obama plants the seeds and they grow and give! Word!

1987
We call it
the Golden year
of the Golden Age.
It was the year
Rap renegade Rakim
ruled the True School
with innovative,
creative grammatical gems.
The previous year,
Ladies Love Cool J
dropped Radio
Before that
we stopped on the block
to witness the Planet Rock.
Let's have a moment of Silence for Scott LaRock.
We wore fat gold ropes
and bangle ear rings.
We sported Gucci, Troop suits
and Addidas with wide shoe strings.
Run DMC were the new Kings
of Rock n Rap.
This was before the gun clap.
When we would
give each other dap
and say "Peace Black."
EPMD recorded Strictly Business
provoking us to walk in our 'hoods
tellin' each other "You gots to chill"
Those times were Ill.
It was all about skills.
It was all about skills.
It was all about skills
when it came time to Rhyme.
Slick Rick the Ruler
was still in his prime.
Boom boxes flooded Ghetto streets
pumping fat beats to rich oratorical speech.
A medallion could leave you blind
- culture then was time-less.
KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions
let us know why they were Criminal Minded.
These are beloved memories.
At this very moment
I can see myself and kats
situated in front of the T.V.
bobbin' our heads to
the latest videos on YO MTV Raps.
I grinned when I first heard Paper Thin.
MC Lyte's poetic delight proved women
could be just as dope as men.
Lyte as a rock was like a shot
in the ribs when you and your man
played slap box in the crib.
Sista was like: dig, this is what real rap is.
This was 1987. This was 1987. 1987 y'all.

HIP HOP UNIVERSITY
A poem about the culture of hip hop in all of its forms. There are seven elements of the culture hip hop, the most popular and visible at the moment, is Rap music. Find out and discover the culture in its entirety in this poem.
Born with body rock, nonstop energy
of an African, Nubian origin
Revolutionary rhetoric
through rhythm, rhyme, reason
rhythm, rhyme, reason.
We are storytellers of our Ancestral lineage
on the corners MCin.
Universal bein' breathin'
the reality of gory Ghetto life
So, we free ourselves through the mic.
B-boy, B-girl this is your world
As you twist, tic, lock and pop you unfurl
the power of the Universe.
Unrehearsed DJ Techniques speak
to the disenfranchised masses
As turntable sorcerers
"Make 'em, make 'em clap to this"
It's all magic
Creativity sporadic
Back spins and back flips
Check out the mix master's tactics!
The fabric of America, Africa, South America, Cuba,
the Caribbean, Haiti and Mexico painted on walls and trains
depicting struggle, sorrow, happiness, pain.
We carefully stain neighborhoods with culture
captivating hearts and minds
For so long, America was blind
to the reality of the inner-city.
So to a back drop of a beatbox
She was introduced to city blocks
full of drugs, guns, gangs, fights and crooked cops.
In Kangols, puma suits
and Adidas with fat laces
The world came to see our faces,
our triumphs, our embraces.
Droppin' knowledge over instrumentation
about the nation, Ronald Reagan inflation,
Middle East invasions and American global domination.
Muslim influenced 5% alphabets and mathematics
created consciousness, direction, understanding
Once the science is dropped, it is commanding.
With fat gold ropes hanging from our necks
demanding respect
We began a Universal Movement through a shared
dialect.
We started cashing checks and pushing a Lex
as Capitalism caught on.
The MTV MC backed by Fab 5 Freddy
The MTV MC backed by Fab 5 Freddy
The MTV MC backed by Fab 5 Freddy
proved to be a combination that prepared the world for
the Revolution of Hip Hop.
