Khalil Gibran.. Post some poetry or moving lyrics
« on: March 06, 2004, 10:34:36 PM »
Khalil Gibran

My house says to me, "do not leave me, for here dwells your past."
And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future."
And I say to both my house and the road,
"I have no past, nor have I a future.
If I stay here, there is a going in my staying;
and if I go there is a staying in my going.
Only love and death change all things."
 

Lincoln

That was really good.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

"Now I'm holdin the dove, sittin on swoll
Twenty-seven years old, up for parole, stroll
I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money
that I'll be makin soon as I touch the street
Thangs done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump - but now they blast, right
But it ain't no thang to me
Cause now I'm what they call a loc'd-ass O.G.
The little homies from the hood wit grip
are the ones I get with cause I'm down to set-trip
Ni**a, I'm bigger than you, so whatchu wanna do?
Didn't know we had a twenty-two
Straight sittin behind his back
I grabbed his pockets and then I heard six caps
I fell to the ground..
with blood on my hands, I didn't understand
How a nigga so young could bust a cap
I used to be the same way back
I guess that's what I get (For what?)
For tryin to jack them little homies for they grip"

I know you made a joke on me... but still, peace be unto you.

In the Islamic tradition the prophet Jesus (Issa) still said Peace Be Unto you to those that made jokes on him.  When asked why, Jesus said, "They can only express that which is within them".

It's not a joke.  It's just showing you what a dumbass you are.  All that hard ass talk about "BEETHOVEN SUCKS" blah blah blah bit you on the ass.

The problem is, in the past, he's been a complete asshole to anybody and everybody on the board (well, not to his muslim 'brothers'), and then he wants to post things that he got on us about in the past.  We post classical threads, and he comes in "these guys suck, blah blah blah".  Fuck him and his hypocricy.
