BART & riots

I dont know how yaw see it, but regardless of why, a cop pulled his pistol on an unarmed, restrained man, shot & killed him.

I have to ask: Why did so many people find it necessary to begin recording? Will Oakland have to riot in order to find a sense of justice?

Niccolo Machiavelli (who Tupac got his AKA from) wrote in the Prince that when the public riots, they are usually right. Have you ever seen or heard of a riot that wasn't due to the mismanagement of government-especially of an executive branch of the gov't?

If this was in Texas, I would call for lethal injection for a cold blooded murder. If they could "prove" the pig didn't mean to, I could stand for a looong sentence from which the next time he is free, he will be speaking to St. Peter-which is probably the best we can get from California.

If these people through nepotism, racism, or bribery attempt to allow this man to continue with his life, I pray that everyone get's on the BART, goes to downtown San Francisco where the Prada shop & Neiman Marcus' are located and riot from there.

Black Mongoose kicked off last Friday Jan 2nd-and I was there-as well as Unknown (my fav producer), Oddisee, K-Chromosome, Flex Mathews and hella other cats like DJ CAM One I aint seen in about 2 winter moons! It was a small, yet good-vibe set with Oddisee actually dropping a pretty dope verse accapella! Black Mongoose is at Chief Ikes every Friday with Flex hosting-$5 in DC! The night before I hollered at the Wu at 9:30 Club. Tell the truth, Brooklyn Zu was decent den a mug, Icewater?-meh- and Wu? Let's just say; they were better before-long before...I've seen Wu twice in the past five years and it of course doesn't come close to them in even '02-forget the late 90s!! We all know the songs, but it was lack-luster, which GhostFace musta felt, cos dude was out. THe Wu at 9:30 gets a 6 on a scale of 1-10 this time around, but genius always gets a pass for past brilliance so I'm not hatin' in the least!

On the 10th I went to meet Selamwit from Shade Magazine at Tryst, we got turned away (sorta) from Section 8 where in the drizzling rain I couldn't bring my ball cap in the club-mind you now-not simply I can't wear my cap, I couldn't bring it in to the club at ALL! Why? Probably because the bouncer hates his job and wants the venue to lose money...at any rate Selam & I wound up at Velvet Lounge and peeped Melo-D & The Rados who were opened up with Jarrad Anthony, and Rosetta Stoned (?!? we missed them!?) Of course I hit up Black Mongoose again, and peeped Tamu, Hed-Roc Ardamus
and other heads I've not seen in a couple of winter moons!
If you out in DC-I'm here, let's be there!!
