I soon came to understand that drink, tobacco and prostitutes were all great means if dissipating (even for a few moments) my dread for human beings. I came even to feel that if I had to sell every last possession to obtain these means of escape, it would be well worth it.

I still think Russian rap is THE rap linguistically, and yes that includes english, however, German rap, though often terrible, also flows very well to my ear, and I think Maske might be the best rap album Europe has to offer over all.

Concerning Lilith, And Of The Lillum:

Concerning Lilith, and of the Lillum:

I’m not religious, none of this is real, have fun.Ask alot of people and they don’t know who Lilith is ( though they will know this painting ).  The story goes, in the garden of Eden Adam and Lilith were created out of clay, and Lilith wouldn’t be subservient to Adam because they were made of the same thing and thus equal.  So god cast her out of the garden, and she became a demon.  God then created Eve of Adams rib, and since eve was made from Adam, she was thus indebted to him and subservient.  This is just one of many many bouts of sexism in the bible.We are children of Adam and Eve...or are we?  Wouldn’t it be a real kick to find out we’re actually the Lillum, of Lilith, and maybe Eves offspring were actually saved despite their parents nose and went to some other existence somewhere.  It’s easy to make the religious people go rabble rabble in atheist terms, but don’t tell them gods dead, or challenge their ideas from a standpoint that you believe in their ideas, it drives their little minds crazy.   Are we all demon children?  Have the Lillum been abandoned by their former god?  Has it been Lucifer, who has always pitied man been the one to keep us afloat in this chaos?  Don’t worry I’ll rant about Lucifer too later.  God says hes a spiteful vengeful god, perhaps you are dirt to him, hell even better maybe you made god kill himself to escape his last great mistake.

Chapter Whatever: American Prisons

" The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons" - Fyodor Dostoevsky

The United States, we lock up more people than anyone, BY FAR,

" In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population.  While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners. "

4% of the world has 22% of all the worlds inmates, and it’s not some scam for money somehow I’m sure.  The last statistic I heard was the average prisoner only costs the prison around 90 cents a day, that’s food, water, heat, about 90 cents, and they not only still do that chain gang shit in the south but they’re bringing back the free labor road project type inmate of the early 1900's acrossed the country.

" In state prisons, African-Americans are incarcerated at 5.1 times the rate of whites. "

Sounds like legal slavery to me, THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.  But i know you're thinking, well what's the south have to do with this demographic?  I'M GLAD YOU ASKED BUCKY!

" Twelve states have prison populations that were more than half black: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Maryland has a prison population that’s 72 percent black. "

Yes there are SOME non confederate states on that list, but really the proofs in the pudding, and the pudding says the south decided if they couldnt have slaves, theyd just do it this way, " usin them there fancy yankee laws "

America, home of the free ( Unless you're black, or poor, but especially if you're both )

Rap started as African American expressionism, done in minimalist fashion due to lack of equipment, it started as early as the 50′s in one form or another.  It has since gone from expressionism to capitalism, but we wont get into that.  I find though, ironically, Shakespearean English may have rolled off the tongue nicely but modern English is very bumbly and flows only due to added suffixes, in my opinion anyways.

I find it amazing all the international rap I hear, Russian I think is THE perfect language for rap ( really I’ve always thought Russian was a beautiful language anyways, French is very overrated ) but English being the bastard Child of low German and Scandinavian dialects, you’d think say German rap would be just as bumbly as English, yet somehow even IT flows very nicely in poetic verse.  I’m actually a German speaker, but that has nothing to do with this post other than i know the lyrics to this song aren’t overly deep or creative, BUT, the flow for a language usually considered ugly is, incredible to me, and Sido has always done it well.

Musings of a Wasted Life

Musings and more of a despondant 30 year old man, former drug addict, current writer/alcoholic.  I'm unmarried, I have no children, and all my dreams are dead, I've wasted my life, and you can too!  Never say never.  Sometimes prolific, mostly offensive observations about people,  life, and the nature of the universe. I'm a communist, your god's a lie, hate mail welcome.
