Nubearth circa 1996

Precise, Ideal, Creole

If you have ever had the chance to read my bio you would see that I started off as a solo rapper but then formed a group called Nubearth. The group consisted of myself, Creole the Individual and Ideal the Mad Sandpiper (R.I.P)

We made some amazing music. My brother Creole just posted a few videos with a couple of our joints.

The first joint Im sharing with you is called “For The Pickens” S/O to Big Rub on the production. We did this song in one room, with one mic and an Sp1200. WOW!!! Rumor has it that the SP1200 that we used was passed all around Chicago and people like Kanye, No Id and I know for a fact Extreme used it. We did this song in one take.

The next joint is called “Clouds Of Smoke” The back story to this one is actually pretty deep. If you listen to Creoles verse he touches on it. I was a bit more taken back by the situation and created the hook that you hear and my tone in the verse is kinda agitated. S/O to Big Rub for producing this.

It was so much fun making music then just because of the process. We would go to the studio with samples and come out with great songs. Check out “Clouds of Smoke” below.

I continue to make music because of these brothers. There is still so much to accomplish and I continue to hold the torch for Nubearth. This is my family.

What Ladies Love – Is it ever ok to date someone who is married? Oliva and Fitz

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the eighth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

The question previous to this one was “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown?” Explain. There were some great descriptions with respect to this question and so many of you seem so versatile in terms of who you are. Thats a good thing.

This weeks question is sure to spark a spirited discussion.

Is it ever ok to date someone who is married?

Image

I have been married and I have ben unfaithful. When I was doing this I knew it was wrong but I had suspicions that happened to be right. However even though I was right in my suspicion it still did not make it right for me to be unfaithful. My feelings at this point in my development are pretty cut and dry. I would never date anyone who is married. Karma is real and why tamper with someone else’s union.  

Image

I posed this question at my job and I got one answer that was quite compelling. My co-worker said that if either spouse was terminally ill and they spoke about not being able to meet each others emotional and physical needs that it would be ok to go elsewhere to have those needs fulfilled. I thought that was an interesting perspective.

Just woke up with so much on my mind. I feel so very fortunate for my experiences thus far. I look forward to greater and even more prosperous experiences in the future. It has been a challenge and everything that happens does not seem like it is in my favor…but it is. The truest blessing is to be alive with the ability to try and try again. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! I dont care what anybody says….DO NOT GIVE UP!!! We are so powerful and recently the starts have aligned for us. The shift has happened for us. Our minds are changing. We recognize our power. We are no longer in darkness.

As I type this I am becoming new. I am embracing my oneness with the universe. I thank my ancestors for their guidance and protection. I move into 2013 bold and deliberate. I expect good things, high vibrations, prosperity and enlightenment. I expect my circle of friends and family to understand who we are and act accordingly. We are the children of the creator with access to the storehouse. We are AMAZING!!! We deserve the best and we are grateful for it. We welcome 2013 as the year of realized dreams. God is Awesome and so are YOU!!!!

Django Unchained – Spike Takes A Stand

Posted on by

People who have known me for quite some time know I am a huge fan of Spike Lee. Most of my favorite movies are Spike Lee joints. In my opinion Spike Lee does amazing work when it comes to filmmaking. He also does an amazing job at telling the story of African Americans from all different facets of life. So when I was watching an interview he did with Vibe earlier this week the interviewer asked Spike if he would speak on the new Quentin Tarantino movie Django Unchained his response resonated with me.

Image

He said: “I can’t speak on it …I’m not gonna see it. I’m not seeing it. All I’m gonna say is it would be disrespectful to my ancestors to see that movie. I can’t disrespect my ancestors. Now that’s me. I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody but myself.”

I respect Spike as a filmmaker. I appreciate his candor. He rarely ever holds his tongue. I understood his response. I understand the seriousness of recognizing our ancestors and honoring them. His response almost compelled me to take a similar position. However I was intrigued and wanted to see how Quentin Tarantino would approach this story of a slave getting revenge.Image

There will be NO SPOILERS in this review. If you are expecting some super political extra emotional movie about the African Holocaust/Slavery, this is definitely not the movie for you. Quentin stays true to form. He delivers the story of Django in the form of a spaghetti western. What’s most interesting about this film are the moments when the audience is left to decide if they should laugh or be offended. Leonardo De’Caprio and Samuel Jackson play their parts to perfection.

ImageI appreciate the way Jamie Foxx approached the character. There is a sense of dignity that he manages to maintain in the midst of this film that makes it quite believable. I couldn’t stop looking at Kerry Washington without thinking about Olivia Pope…HA!.. Sorry…I wonder how she is gonna help Huck out of this latest jam…….ANYWAY…Overall it was a very good film but the depth of my experience was realized after the movie was over.

As I walk out of the theater there is this feeling of…”What did I just watch?” Another thing that I noticed was the eye contact I was getting from other black men as if they had felt the same way that I did. I could tell who just saw Django by the look they had on their faces.

The story of The African Holocaust/Slavery in ImageAmerica has NEVER truly been dealt with. I know why Spike Lee feels the way that he does. Ultimately this is a movie. The last person I would expect to tell the story of The African Holocaust/Slavery properly would be Quentin Tarantino. With that being said I look forward to Spike Lee providing us with something that will speak to the hearts of the world, evoke change and restore the sense of dignity we have lost in our community. It is up to us to tell our stories.

We were free before freedom was given to us.

Oh Yeah…I give “Django Unchained” 4 stars out of 5. :-)

Good Evening World! We are not shaken. We are not worried. In the bleakest of moments we understand that the universe is in our favor. Our spirits are made stronger by the fact that we are connected. We raise our vibration. We speak words of power. We act in good faith. We move into our good deliberately with no apology.  Those who have left this physical plane cover and guide us. They never leave. We are in tune with this greatness. We are in the midst of this shift. Pay attention. We pray. We meditate. We focus. We are one. God is Awesome and so are You!  -Precise 

What Ladies Love – “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown? Explain.

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the seventh topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

Last weeks question was “How do you know when the person you are with is the one?“Everyone has their own perspective as to who “The One” is. One thing I notice is that as individuals many of us have so many requirements or expectations when it comes to others. However the truest source of our happiness is within us. It matters how we see ourselves. What makes us who we are? Are we just one way or are there many facets to who we are?

The questions have been very general as of late, however this segment is called What Ladies Love. In the spirit of staying true to this segment I present you with this weeks question. “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown? Explain. (Don’t feel like you are restricted to these choices.)

I’m anticipating some great response to this question. Check out the responses below. Leave a comment. I’m curious as to what you think of yourself. :-)

Renee said: “Ok, I’m like a chameleon with styles. A business suit could be the better, although I’d be comfortable in all picks.”

Nakisha said: “The black mini represents my youthfulness and playfulness. I am a fun loving girl. That down to earth girl, I got your back your back girl. My ball gown is my mature womanhood. I am wife, mom and whatever my man desires of me. The pinstripe suit is the “I will kick your ass with my knowledge, conversation peace of mind and stamina side of me.”

Robyn said: “I would be a sundress, because they are sexy without even trying.”

Ebonie said: “If I was to have a dress that would describe me it would actually be a pinstripe suit mini skirt with an exquisite blouse underneath the suit blazer jacket. I say this because I wear so many hats. I’m a woman of diversity. I do so many things like most women do. We play so many roles in the lives of people around us and still have the time to look good, feel good even with that S on her chest. I can adapt and blend in anywhere, anytime at any moment.”

Image

Now since I’m a guy…I would say that the best way to describe my personality is urban business casual. I think I just coined a new term…HA! I consider my personality all encompassing, meaning I’m not one particular way all the time. I think that’s the beauty of being alive. Our experiences help to shape who we are and our perspective. I feel as though when we are being who we truly are at all times that it will always align us with the right people. Now tell me what you think. Leave a comment below.
