I know i haven’t blogged in a couple days, but i have been crazy busy with my fire in the booth release. I have also been in the studio cooking up my next mixtape.
I wouldn’t be blogging right now but I received a comment to one of my posts by AMNDesigns, that trigured my intrest into researching a little bit more about the side of the brain i am personally using myself.
It is said that the left side of the brain (critical thinking) is used to deal with facts, logic, details, patterns, practicallity, science and math.
While the right side of the brain (the creative side) is used to deal with feeling, intuition, symbols, images, risk taking, philosophy and religion.
Now going back to my post about manipulated education i claimed that the so called knowledge we are taught in school is manipulated to stop us from breaking outside the box.
Lets take a look at what we learn in school. So while we are at school we are taught mathematics which is the use of numbers and patterns, science which is based on facts and logic. So to me it looks like we spend most of our school years being taught how to use the left side of our brains. Is this done to turn us into critical thinkers? Or is it done to stop us from building on are right side of the brain and using are creative side more often?
The more i read into it the more i feel like we are programmed to become robots working are 9-5 jobs for petty wage, this picture AMNDesigns posted does actually sum it all up.

We are all boxed up in our little cubicles thinking we are living life when we are actually “dying to survive”.
Heres a 3 minute video i want you all to watch.
Ok i bet your wondering what side of the brain am i using “T”. How am i gonna find out if im a creative person or if im plugged into the matrix. To be honest that all depends on your thought pattern and how much of the un explainable you allow your mind to take in without denying the existance of questions that you do not know the answer to.
BUT!!
Ye theres a “but” because heres a little video that FUCKEDDDDDD with ma head for a hot 10 mins, i dont advise you watch this while your buzzin you could start to trip.
If you see the dancer spinning “CLOCK WISE” you are right brained.
If you see the dancer spinning “ANTI CLOCK WISE” you are left brained.
Personally for me it is spinning clock wise, i did change it into anti clockwise but only for a split second and then it went back to clockwise and now i cant change it back!
What way is it spinning for you? Leave a comment dont be shy! I wont judge you if your a lefty…

When i first watched this video, i did think it was a real video. The more i watched the more i realised it was actually a spoof. But lets be honest do you really think it is a spoof? Have any of us actually ever read the terms and conditions when we are signing up? Or have you realised how u cant actually COMPLETELY delete your profile but only deactivate it?
I had a case where i had been arrested over GBH charges and they had printed out ma facebook profile and tried to use it against me in my police station interview!
Becarefull what you post on your facebook….
What do you think? Do you think this is a spoof with a message behind it?

I wanna dedicate todays post to one of the biggest inspirations of mine. Mr Tupac Shakur, i feel alot of people dont give him the actual respect he deserves and compare him to rappers of his time like Biggie Smalls. Tupac was on another level to B.I.G, he had a mission in his life and wasnt doing what he was doin for the money or the fame. Dont get me wrong B.I.G was a good lyrcist but he was on no level comparable to Tupac Shakur.
Lets forget the music for a moment and think about what Tupac’s purpose was. He werent just a rapper he was a leader, leading his people to a better world. He was far from a rapper he was in a catagory of the great revolutionist in this world such as Malcom X and Martin Luther King. He did say his mother used to always tell him “If you cant find something to live for, then find something to die for” and he did exactly that.
He said it how it was, if you watch his some of his first interviews when he was 17 yrs old you would see a total different side to Tupac. He was very quite and educated young black male. His thought pattern was much different to the usual rapper that, he actually thought about others and care for other humans of this world then just caring about selling records and puttin money in his pocket. This is one of his first interviews.
To be honest you learn alot more from 2pacs interviews about his character then you do through his music, because you may lose yourself in the beat and melody. But he doesnt give you that opportunity to do dat in his interviews, he told u STRAIGHT up no bullshit.
Tupac Shakur was actually a very decent person, but he saw what the leaders of this world were trying to do. So he went in harder, they wanted to claim that his people were thugs so he became a thug. I feel he did this to control his people and lead them to fight the people that was boxing them in such categories. He said him self, “All I’m trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.”
So he turnt into this Tupac.
He told em how it is, he believed what he said and felt strongly about what he believed. They could see that he was becoming very powerful and that people would begin to follow his beliefs.
If Tupac didnt die at the age of 25 think about the change he would of had in this world we live in. Imagine Malcom X had died at 25 or if Martin Luther King had died at 25? This world we live in today would of been a very different place.
They tried everything to make Tupac look bad and look like a criminal as they do to anyone trying to make a change to this world or fight against “Them”.
Tupac died for a cause and for a change, lets not forget that. It sickens me people claiming Tupac inspired them but then turning against all of his beliefs and thoughts.
If only Tupac was still alive to give them a piece of his mind.
