For everybody who thought grafitti started in the early 80's, Lava AKA StraightMan is here to set the records straight, man. LAVA 1&2 (he claimed 2 so no one else could - don't even think about the URL, cause he got that too) started writing in 1970 when we wasn't taking care of business as Supreme Commander of all Captains of the Black Spades in the borough of Manhattan or creating the first Hip Hop Flyers with PHASE 2. The Black Spades went on to become Zulu Nation and Graf blew up in the 80's but a whole generation of pioneers stayed in the shadows. LAVA'a Extravaganza gives a who's who of 70's writers a chance to shine.

Special Guests: SONIC, REE, PRIZ, DOSE, INK76, CRANE, STAN, BAMA, CORNBREAD, NIC 707, CLYDE, KET, STAYHIGH149, SEN-ONE, TRACY168, MIKE171, SJK, RIFF170, FLINT707, BOM5, COCO144, JAMESTOP, SPAR, FDT56, & SELO456.

A carrot, an egg or a cup of coffee-which are you?

2010-04-29T06:53:00.000-07:00

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a
cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and
how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going
to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and
struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with
water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.
In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and
in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and
boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off
the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.
She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled
the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter,
she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her
closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that
they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg
and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard
boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the
coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The
daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same
adversity - boiling water - each reacted differently. The carrot
went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being
subjected to the
boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had
been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid
interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside
became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however.
After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on
your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a
coffee bean?" Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems
strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and
lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with
the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup,a
financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and
stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter
and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot
water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water
gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the
bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the
situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you
elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Peace to my CALI-FAM!!

The TRUE meaning of bless.

2010-03-19T06:05:00.000-07:00

IN THE NAME OF AMUN RA
KNOWLEDGE, CULTURE, OVERSTANDING

WORD SOUND POWER,
People of Planet Earth, there are no more time for GOD GAMES to be played on the People. We must ask when did this Germanic Word BLESS got into our vocabulary of saying God Bless You, Allah Blessings Be Upon You,Jah Bless, Peace and Blessings and God Bless Abraham and Bless the Child, or Bless the man that has his own or Bless this or Bless that. When no one has taken the time to looking up the roots or origin of this word. How did this word of not old got to get into words of Ancient old????? Whom and why was this word given to Prechers,Rabbis,Imams,religious schools of thoughts ,when the root of this word does not mean Love,Health,Goodness,Happy,Peace and of these to be upon you. It means Mark with Blood a sacrifice,Death be upon you and it is not in no other Language but English,but all People from Ancient past of of all 3 Major Religions Christianity,Judaism,Islam,and now Rastafai all say this bless or Blessing as something of good intentions but the root is not what it is said to be.

We must now start checking the Etymology of many of these so called words we use today cause sound word power, you might be putting something of Evil in Power or to stay in POWER CAUSE THE EVILS ONES HAVE TRICK ALL THE WORLD IN USING THEIR WORDS OF SPELL ON YOU AND OTHERS,WHICH KEEPS THEIR ASS IN POWER AND KEEPS YOUR ASS IN THEIR HELL. Just lokk at some of their words like HELLOW = HELLS LOW, HI = HIGH ON WHAT?, SANTA CLAUS = SATAN CLAWS. Ask your religious so called spiritualist or teachers in these schools of higher learning where did all these certain words come from or how did these words get into all these respected other languages of Mother Earth for good and for evil. As we say:

DON'T BELIEVE US- RESEARCH AND CHECK FOR YOURSELVES

Subject: Re: THE TRUE MEANING OF BLESS (BLESSING)

The ARCADE "Dictionary of Word Origins" BY John Ayto

bless [OE} Bless occurs in no other language than English, and originally meant 'mark with blood,' from some sort of religious rite in which such marking conferred sanctity. It probably goes back to a prehistoric Germanic formation *blōthisōjan, a derivative of *blōtham 'blood,' which was taken up by no Germanic language other than Old English. Here it produced blētsian, which by the 13th century had become blesse. The word's connotations of 'happiness' and 'well-being,' which go back at least to the year 1000, were probably influenced by the etymologically unrelated bliss.

So now that it references bliss, let's continue on with another definition from the same image (which everyone might not be able to see in the original email).

bliss [OE] Despite its formal and semantic similarity, bliss has no connection with bless. It comes ultimately from Germanic *blīthiz 'gentle, kind,' which is the source of English blithe 'happy' [OE]. The addition of the noun suffix *-tjō produced the derivative *blīthsjō, which entered Old English as blīths 'happiness,' later reduced to bliss.

So rather than blessing one another, let's send wishes of bliss!

Invitation to Hip-Hop/ZULU Anniversaries!!

2009-11-02T07:23:00.000-08:00

Events for Hip-Hop/ZULU Nation Anniversary in NYC!!

2009-11-02T06:56:00.000-08:00

NOVEMBER IS HIP HOP HISTORY MONTH!!

2009-11-02T06:50:00.000-08:00

The official birthday of the Universal Zulu Nation is November 12th,
The official birthday of Hip Hop is November 12th, 1974.

With consideration to the above mentioned dates, nothing makes more sense than to celebrate Hip Hop culture and it's history during November, which is exactly what the Universal Zulu Nation has been doing for over 27 + years. November is also significant in the fact that it kicks off the "indoor jam season". The Hip Hop community jams, enjoyed outdoors in the parks, throughout the Summer, had to move indoors for about 7 months to community centers, gymnasiums, schools etc. for the Fall and Winter seasons. The Hip Hop World should recognize this month and pay tribute to those who laid the foundation and paved the way as well as to those who continue to preserve the rich tradition of the culture.

Of course, The Zulu Nation appreciates all efforts to preserve the whole of Hip Hop culture, including any days or weeks set aside to conscientiously appreciate Hip Hop, but would rather that all of these days and weeks combine to celebrate in unity every November as the tradition has been since the beginning of this culture. Founded by the godfather of Hip Hop himself, Afrika Bambaataa, The Universal Zulu Nation is the world's oldest, largest and most respected grass roots Hip Hop organization. It's members and supporters are Hip Hop's most famous and legendary artists. True school enthusiasts travel from all around the world to be in New York City, in November, for the annual Zulu Hip Hop Anniversary, the only true Hip Hop Anniversary since the beginning. The Anniversary hosts a positive Hip Hop community coming together from all walks of life to celebrate the true essence and excitement of what Hip Hop was meant to be. Many artists who have donated their performances to help raise funds at Zulu Hip Hop Anniversaries have gone on to become legends and many of these legends continue to return to NYC, in November, to give back to the core community who supported them since their careers began.

A Little Background Information: In the early years of the culture, the movement went untitled until Afrika Bambaataa, started calling it "Hip Hop", a term originated by Lovebug Starski. In the 70's, ten years prior to it's gaining global recognition, Hip Hop was a celebration of life gradually developing each of it's elements to form a cultural movement. Due to it's energy, dynamics, and momentum, Hip Hop culture has become, ultimately, a key to upliftment and reformation, as well as a billion-dollar industry.

From the 80's on, the Rap industry and media have helped to make the terms "Hip Hop" and "Rap" synonymous, leaving out the other elements included in the culture. In light of this enormous oversight, the Zulu Nation promotes the "5th element" of Hip Hop, which is KNOWLEDGE, and actively tries to educate the masses about the history and foundational elements of true Hip Hop culture. Bambaataa declared: "When we made Hip Hop, we made it hoping it would be about peace, love, unity and having fun so that people could get away from the negativity that was plaguing our streets (gang violence, drug abuse, self hate, violence among those of African and Latino descent). Even though this negativity still happens here and there, as the culture progresses, we play a big role in conflict resolution and enforcing positivity."

Hip Hop is the Vehicle to Deliver Innumerable Lessons! Afrika Bambaataa doesn't believe that Hip Hop heads should just have knowledge of Hip Hop. He promotes and proves that Hip Hop can be used as a vehicle for teaching awareness, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality, peace, unity, love, respect, responsibility and recreation, overcoming challenges, economics, mathematics. science, life, truth, facts and faith.

The Elements: Hip Hop culture is defined as a movement which is expressed through various artistic mediums which we call "elements". The main elements are known as MC'ing (Rapping), DJ'ing, WRITING (Aerosol Art), SEVERAL DANCE FORMS (which include Breaking, Up-Rocking, Popping, and Locking) and the element which holds the rest together: KNOWLEDGE. There are also other elements such as Vocal Percussion/Beat Boxing, Fashion, etc. Within the past 20 years, Hip-Hop culture has greatly influenced the entertainment world with its creative contributions in music, dance, art, poetry, and fashion.

Due to their lack of knowledge about the whole of Hip Hop culture, many of our world's youth are mistaken in thinking that activities such as: smoking blunts, drinking 40's, wearing a designer label plastered across their chest, carrying a gun, or going to strip clubs, are "Hip Hop". Hip Hop is being portrayed negatively by many artists who work in the element of Rap (emceeing), and this negativity is usually instigated and promoted by the record industry and various other corporations who exploit the culture at the expense of the youth's state of mind and morality. The Universal Zulu Nation believes there is a difference in speaking out about negativity (activism) and promoting it as a desirable lifestyle. Gangsters, pimps, playas, hustlers, niggers, spics, and many other derogatory words once used against us are now self employed in our everyday vocabulary. Our ancestors who have fought and died trying to free us from these sicknesses and slave mentality are probably turning over in their graves! Bambaataa asks you to just think about this, "How in the hell did we turn from gods to dogs?"

Afrika Bambaataa encourages you to do more research about our story, his/her-story, and what you think is your mystery is actually your history. Where are our Hip Hop thinkers, lawyers, holistic doctors, scientists, agriculturalists/herbalists, revolutionaries, politicians, judges, researchers, teachers, police, army, accountants, anthropologists, etc. Where is our own Hip Hop Museum? Many talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Many straight out sell-out to the liberation of our people as well as to all humans on the planet so called Earth! He also encourages you to do research on any Hip Hop organization that deals with consciousness and the upliftment of all people. To all those who purposely make up your own history and lie about the culture- DO YOUR RESEARCH!

You can contact the Universal Zulu Nation at their main website WWW.ZULUNATION.COM and to explore links to other Zulu chapters and websites.

Thank you in advance for forwarding this announcement to everyone you know!

Peace and Blissings Afrika Bambaataa & the entire Universal Zulu Nation.

As we say in Zulu - respect the many universes and especially mother earth - cause if you don't she will spit your asses out!

2009-07-27T06:12:00.000-07:00

Inspired by the genius of VAUGHN BODE-and some of that BK RAMBO-

(shout out to my NORTHSTAR brothers)

I had to show love to the spirit of what BODE's vision has done for the artform of HIP-HOP HIEROGLYPHICS-and myself as an artist.

If you consider yourself an aerosol artist and don't know about the BODE legacy-you need to start researching your craft.

THE MC and ME

"The Gospel of Hip-Hop should be an interesting book. From the pamphlet handed out at the end of his set-with DJ DISCO WIZ on the 1's and 2's-it really is just his interpretation of the ZULU Infinity Lessons. Remember he got the inspiration for this book after speaking with AFRIKA BAMBAATAA."

"Peace and blessings to all.
This is one flyer I did for an event that The UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION had in October 2008.
For those that don't know, knowledge is an actual element of HIP HOP culture.In order to MC,DJ,B BOY/B GIRL or Write-you need the knowledge to perfect your craft.
We are being shown a destructive-corporate version of a culture based on PEACE.
I bet "Criminal" Columbus would have been proud."

" I was listening to the wisdom of GIL SCOTT HERON on my way to the monkey work I do to help pay bills.I get on the iron horse(trains for any non-New Yorkers) and I see what looks like a pile of clothes.That pile of clothes turned out to be a homeless person. The song that was playing was "WINTER IN AMERICA"-how fitting. Especially in a post-Guiliani NY! The truth is that in NY there are more homeless on the streets because of Amerikkka's Mayor."
