Knowledge ? Secret Oral Teachings

“Do not believe on the strength of traditions even if they have been held in honour for many generations and in many places; do not believe anything because many people speak of it; do not believe on the strength of sages of old times; do not believe that which you have yourselves imagined, thinking that a god has inspired you. Believe nothing which depends only on the authority of your masters or of priests. After investigation, believe that which you have yourselves tested and found reasonable, and which is for your good and that of others.”

“Doubt is an incitement to research, and research is the path to true knowledge.”
“Why are these teachings secret? Does that mean I can’t write and tell about them?” “No, Alexandra, these teachings are not called ‘secret’ because it is forbidden to talk about them. They are ‘secret’ because so few who hear them understand.”
- Secret Oral Teachings by Alexandra David-Néel and Lama Yongden (1967).

Music Video ? Omarion featuring Jay Rock ? Hoodie

After watching this video it dawned on WHO that Michael Jackson is no longer in his earth suit. A great sense of joy and pride followed as Omarion created and dedicated his latest video to the King of Popular music.

Hoodie made WHO love the choreograph filled music video again, there's not one dull moment, just like how Michael did it. WHO commends Omarion for this effort, and since The Mechanical Dummy is getting the Industry Stiff Arm as of late, O is well capable to hold up the new king of Pop position...with a several more great songs and 100s of millions of records sold of course. But hey.... he's got the dancing part covered!!!

Rare Audio? Malcolm and the FBI

In this rare audio recording the FBI visits Bro Malcolm to request of him to provide any information he may have on his Moslem organization such as names of people not known by the FBI, conversations etc. They even go as far as indirectly offering Malcolm a Fiat payoff for his cooperation..... And some poeple still to this day think the "Theory of Conspiracy" is a fallacy...
oh no that just cant be true, why would government funded agencies do such a thing? - Stupid Masses Magazine

JD Explains Not Visiting Da Brat In Jail

This interview brings up a memory of talking to an old friend about why he never got a visit while being incarcerated from WHO.

It was explained that seeing him in prison was not an image WHO wanted to see or have a picture of.

After speaking with this friend WHO felt bad, cause various other friends went to visit him.

However, after all these years WHO can hear someone else with the same view of not wanting to see a loved one in that type of environment.

While the topic of "Not Visiting In Jail" is key, it also involves 2 people he and WHO worked with professionally. Damn......... how crazy is that!

Mixtape ? Rockie Fresh • “The Modern Life”

Saw this over at LDRS1354. WHO must admit, "Dude Got Bars".....the mixtape is well produced and formatted. Chicago artists are some of the best musicians on the planet as many already know and Rockie Fresh is a testament to this fact!

"Rockie's Modern Life" is an audible portrait of the daily life of the Hip Hop artist, Rockie. From the same stomping grounds as greats like Kanye West and Common, and of the same generation as up and comers like Kid Cudi and Drake, this young artist knows he has a lot to prove to the music world. Repping a city whose musical culture is as diverse and soulful as any, this young Chicago artist is exploding onto the scene with tremendous force. So take a listen. "Rockie's Modern Life" isn't just any mixtape, it is an embodiment of the heart, soul, and passion that drives us all to live. It is a way of life.

Mary J. Blige ? Kitchen

This is the first time WHO has posted any of Mary's work, however, this song is the perfect beginning to a long future of covering her material from now on. The Dream and Tricky Stewart put their foot in writing this record. Kitchen is one of those strong metaphoric songs full of passion and detail. Mary J. Blige is one of the Greats!

The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

The NY Times did this piece on The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble in 2006. WHO had the pleasure of seeing them at The Wild Hare some time ago. If you have yet to see these guys live, whenever you hear or read about them coming to your part of town, by all means, check'em out, they're an excellent group of musicians, still keeping the organic sound of Brass and percussion live in this day and age!

AZ ? I’m Ill

Back in 94-95 WHOs homie Rimrod would ride around in his MPV(when it was considered a dope ride to own) listening to nothing but Wu-Tang, Nas and AZ..thats it. He knew every line to very song, and after AZ dropped 'Sugar Hill'.......for a long while that was the ONLY song he listened to.
So, in memory of two of WHOs friends, this new AZ joint is dedicated to China, and Rimrod.........Rest Peacefully...hope to see you again!
I'M ILL

Quan ∞ Nas? 'Just a Moment'

WHO just found out today that a homie was imprisoned not to long ago, and they will continue to hold him against his will for 19.7 years. WHOs soul cried after this news.

Therefore, this song is dedicated to him and everyone whose been taken prisoner, and/or murdered!

Documentary? The Counter Intelligence Program

It's so very difficult to hear/see that such crimes took place against men that were only attempting to help communities and improve the culture of civilization. Black Power as the leaders of that day saw it (which is the desire to attain political, economic and cultural power) was not the same as their counterparts. (which was to destroy by murder, imprisonment, miseducation, infiltration, divide and concur tactics, slander, deceptive propaganda, terror and fear manipulation, etc, etc.)

NOTE: To lose power or equally share it is such a frightening thing that the corporations in power will do ANYTHING to prevent any group from attaining real power.

'Must be nice to dictate power by outsourcing corporate entities which use various 'police agency' names to enforce corporate terms such as statues, ordinances and codes, b/k/a Laws!'
