Space Age
Verse One
Stutter poems an owed to new vices
Thundering assumption bruise your blue Nike airs
Hundreds of us confuse the two right ?
So I’ll shimmy when the city reduces fuel prices
Can’t cut a rug but prove to move light years
Buttery utterance, punctuated and timeless
Deep space, hunter becomes the moons nightmare
I wonder if the mother ship knew we grew time here?
Guess not, sentences text watch-
How I benefit from everything on your desk top
Barney Rubble made it right back to Bedrock
But my body double made imaginary friend boss
(Ooh) Right in the bread box
Right time, wrong melody “A” got-
To be kidding me the enemy aint us
Still trying to figure just where the hate was
Chorus
When I say “A” sound-
The alarm we on the freight train bound-
For infinity and beyond their town
Cut a space age fillet
We lace A- Sounds
When the beat come back
Decorate it with elaborate drum tracks
Separate the space with some thumb tact’s
I’m the one, son something when the sun don’t laugh
Verse Two
Bad habit, the rabbit out of the hat trick
Took a stab at it and managed bury hatchets
Only took one good strike to make a has been
Built a whole industry out of a struck match stick
He fresh to def, I’m done with deaf rappers
Left necks snapped with half the text backwards
Scribble what I’m into and enter the next chapter
Said “What’s the point of getting your damn hands up (No)
Put your damn hands down
Trouble with you kids can’t let them stand out
One hit wonder- why he got a glass house
Let’s throw stones just for a laugh now
Simmer down young brethren
Better call A-Sounds for your first
In serendipitous fist in the air fashion
If you heard that then we get them all clapping
Repeat Chorus
The construct of race always amazes me i think growing up in race obsessed south africa led to a interesting discovery of race and how its viewed.I think race transforms all over the world.This morning i woke up to Radah telling my dad upon entry to our house that she is coloured.My word,alot of thoughts ran through my mind,firstly she is half indian half coloured and all of that should be embraced but i find that the heirachy syndrome is still very much alive.Her Indian grandmother tried very hard to train her that she is indian but when she came to live with her coloured family its as if the tussle to be "something" just increased.I really am trying to understand at what age does racial identification become a important part of a childs identity?The sound of oneness is amazing and something i would absolutely love to see,but there is so many factors that seems to impact on division of all sort.Can we become one and lose our culture,can we speak one language,can we give up on class divisions! I like variety i absolutely love it and i think we should embrace who we are but not impose our values on others.

Where were you at this particular stage of your life?How did you view hip hop and as a late bloomer how would you sum up the contribution of this collective to the rise of the hip hop movement?

Imaginary friends are the pseudonyms or extensions or alternate selves that we create to represent a part of ourselves that's not "normal" (subject to criticism of course) so in an ironic twist our "imaginary friends" help us get closer to our true selves...hope that answers your question-Hishaam

A African tale
Posted by Rushay Booysen in "african music", african, Music, naija, nigeria, sound, timaya, youth
Lets explore Africa are you down? I think in my lifetime the importance of music was always to transport culture and identity and speak about issues such as war such as race,love and love lost.Over the last number of years i have become increasingly obsessed with hearing more African music or any music that's off the radar.T.I.A -This Is Africa
Im telech mi yechabek oti kacha

IF YOU LEAVE (Im Telech) -Idan Raichel
If you leave who will hug me like this
who will listen to me at the end of the day
who will console and calm me
as only you know how
And if you leave who will I wait for by the window
in a festive dress
to come hug me so,
when you arrive
When you leave go, I'll go out to the sun,
in the golden field, morning and evening,
the moon will light up my face
which dreams all day long of you
When you come back,
you'll carry me in your arms,
from the field to the river,
you'll wash my face and tell me words
as only you know how
As you should have noted by now im a fan of the Idan Raichel's work,i feel its impossible for me to deny the honesty that their music reflects.Its just something in their music that draws me something i find missing in alot of music that comes out these days.So im ranting do pick up their music listen to it actually no devour it!
