Self destruction?

For whatever reason, our brains are wired to prevent us from remembering details of a dream. In most cases, in true Eternal Sunshine... fashion, our recollection of dreams is completely wiped out just minutes after the dream itself. For me, there will always be one dream that I will never forget. In 1998, I had a recurring dream that I replaced Mc Lyte in the Self Destruction video. Weird right?! Well today when I woke up, the first thing I thought about was that dream. So, my question for today is: "Is it time for another Self Destruction song?" Let's say you view hip hop from the perspective of the anti-christ himself, Bill O'reilly. From that perspective, hip hop looks like a multi-million dollar industry fueled by senseless violence and glamorized "thug life". As much as it pains me to agree with anything Bill O'reilly has to say, I must admit that at times hip hop and its niggerish ways can definitely get out of control. But from the opposite viewpoint,as a true fan and supporter of hip hop, I know just how powerful and influential "our" music is and despite what might be sensationalized in the media, I know that their is balance in hip hop. In a time where the black male is practically facing extinction wouldn't now be the perfect opportunity to revamp the Self Destruction roster and promote some type of unity in hip hop and the black community? I really wish some of these "rappers" would be a bit more proactive and recognize how influential they can be. Recently I've heard Nas speak out about unity, and think alot of these "rappers" might need to pay attention. Record sales are low, and that "Beef" promotional trick is no longer working. I know its just wishful thinking on my part, but maybe someone will listen to me. I seriously doubt that though.


Now that I've climbed off my soapbox for today, I guess it would be good to mention that the new Greedy Genius apparel and footwear is available at karmaloop. Greedy Genius is a fairly new brand and in these days of flamboyancy over subtleness I'm sure Greedy will be the next big thing in '07. So it will be just a matter of time before you'll seeing fake GG's in a hood near you. I can't fault the bootleggers though. The shoe game is the new crack game. It's a pretty lucrative business. Especially in the desolate, sneaker deprived state of South Carolina. For a broke college student, buying fakes for $30 and selling them for $100 is a pretty good look. Trust me I know.
