Shadow Boxing (Part Two)

 Why ask why was the question? per this Throwback Thursday I channel Gil Scott Herons spirit; back in the day his physical form exited the earth!

We’re all in The Lions Den like Daniel  some are shadow boxing with their shadow; they’ll even resort to alcohol, coke and heroin delaying their rebirth!

Whats it all worth? in trouble is where we find him and her;  didn't know how to negotiate life’s curves in the road; plus fakers were out in gray areas where the lines blur!

Shadow Boxing all out in Bermuda Triangle or Area 51 type scenarios!! but more than paranormal drama will occur!

Yes sir! Yes sir! that was heard from the boot camp attendee!! they called themselves showing respect!

Next episode? they're lying like politicians, lawyers and preachers; trying to beseech us... talking out the side of their neck!

Throwback Thursday per the Industrial Age? We’re out in life’s foundry formed by the crucible affliction..

Always dealing with something while we’re on this earth, shadow boxing! A habitual criminal or punishment glutton? Both? this Louisville dude is bobbing and weaving like I’m Muhammad Ali, check it out! he’s another Louisville representative..

What’s the deal? A lot of people stopped believing during the Trump regime like the deal / agreement for freedom was tentative..

What’s the deal? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now in charge! some are optimistic but the knockout punch from reality will have us falling backwards..

That’s why I’m shadow boxing, practicing! Caught off guard? No! That’s not how it works.

Pharaoh Sanders - Love Is Everywhere

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we try to keep this HumpDay Extravaganza going; we're out here going for what we're knowing...

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on / toil and strife goes on / it's ongoing out here in the mainstream of mathematics we keep flowing..

These fanatics keep showing their hand, from the Trump insurrection to trying to steal an election; or two so what it do? hopefully todays Inauguration Day ceremonies for Biden / Harris put a rest to that..

These mathematics? some will understand these perspectives as we show love / respect to this and that section; it'll be hard to rest until we have that..

At the moment? per this Pharoah Sanders track Love Is Everywhere, but we realize it's rough out there!! some are even fighting amongst themselves like Sean Hannity vs Mitch McConnell..

We're on it!! check out the players and the classic track as we "holla back"; check us out as we handle business before it handles us in 2021; we refuse to fail..

Tenor Saxophone: Pharoah Sanders

Piano: Joe Bonner

Flute: James Branch

Upright Bass: Cecil McBee

Drums: Norman Connors

Composer Lyricist: Pharoah Sanders

 

Minding and Tending (Part Four)

 Digital Crate Digging Continues on a Flashback Friday but we’re playing it another way...

Usually digging deep for those funky sounds but now flashing back through the files researching breakbeat scientific concepts from back in the day..

Doing the mathematics battling fanatics that had baseless allegations like Trump concerning the election

We’re minding and tending per Granny’s advice the status quo “ain’t nothing nice” as jokers act erratic, so how about your section?

Intergalactic like the Starship Enterprise? we usually are but due to Covid 19 restrictions we’re chilling; but we still spotted a cyborg or clone that rolls through the hood in the Dodge Charger or Ford Mustang in the midst of the pandemic still doing the damn thing! .

..competition they bump off! Not worried about the Coronavirus, convictions? they’ve got “priors” but still out here doing the damn thing!

What's up? drama will jump off  out by Candler Rd as jokers racing / dipping cause the slow moving Toyota Prius to run off of I-20.

I’m usually minding and tending but the word on the curb was those boys were looking for them ; supposedly they were running off  at the mouth over at the Quik Trip on Flat Shoals Parkway plus they owed cash to G-Money!

Similar to Trump owing Russian oligarchs money ? Its all related but on a smaller scale, without a doubt..

Getting over the hump? that’s our mission, minding and tending trying not to get caught up in anybody else’s drama; without a doubt!

They were having meetings with no masks and not social distancing; misery loved company, soon starting a corporation ? 

No greetings from naysayers they say I was acting ill again; anti -social like the sweatshirt homie rocked at Publix on Panola Road, check the mode! Minding and tending but not aborting my operation! 

It’s Going Down (Part Ten)

We’re out here on this Terrible / Terrific Tuesday where things can go either way..

Positivity is exhibited as we claim the terrific outcome now check the celebration as we let the music play!

It’s going down! Dealing with it like Trump needs to do concerning the election but Mitch McConnell said no concession is forthcoming 

It’s going down! Dealing with it getting over the hump like it’s the middle of the week as Bill Barr types weaponized the Justice Department to introduce arguments that are weak; peep game  / pay attention to what’s coming ..

It’s Going Down!! We’ve got the funky drummer drumming like Billy Cobham or Clyde Stubblefield as the sound is weaponized as we play the field.

It’s Going Down!! Society will try to run me and my kind providing the interference  and distractions when we’re trying to build!

It’s Going Down!!  The drama  / action from Louisville concerning Breonna Taylor to democracy being saved in Atlanta and Philadelphia will have us feeling some kind of way..

It’s Going Down!! from Cincinnati to Cashville aka Nashville the drama will make some take a pain pill check the reaction to feeling some kind of way!

Another  that claims to be real sold bogus merchandise that’s soon returned to the service desk!

A brotha is trying to work this out like Willie Hutch coming through in the clutch at your service with this! 

It’s Going Down we’re working this out after observing this and that scene ..

It’s Going Down!! we’re putting it down, still breakbeat scientific when we’re on the scene! 

Will Downing - I Can't Help It

Digital Crate Digging Continues on a Music Monday; at the moment we’re in the lab chilling..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on once again it’s on! the music will play and this good word is dropped in the midst of the shady dealing..

It took a while for Biden and Harris  to be declared victorious and of course Trump is still opposing this!

We’re still freedom riding understanding the system is not fair with this; of course the devil is opposing this! 

..we kept  riding  / rolling with this earlier out on I-20 in Atlanta in the Buick Lucerne the deuce and a quarter  / LeSabre descendant 

We kept sliding through the portal knowing how the sport will go always a defendant..

Chilling with it listening to Will Downing with his version of Stevie Wonder’s I Can’t Help It

Marcus Miller on Bass, Ronnie Foster on keyboards and Boney James on the saxophone are swerving with it; Afternoon Jazzing? Oh yeah!  I love it, I can’t help it!

 

It’s Going Down (Part Nine)

 Chilling out, reflecting / internal inspecting but along with worshipping the Lord what else are we supposed to do on a Sunday morning? 

Trying to get our minds right a lot of it based on 20 / 20 hindsight even in the midst of  buking / scorning

It’s going down from Atlanta to Philadelphia check out the delivery provided for Biden and Harris..

It’s going down! understand a brotha out here trying to deal with it still freedom riding knowing society won’t play fair with this! 

It’s going down! the mothership landed a brotha in a hostile territory! In one area some celebrate the Biden Harris victory while in another area Trump Pence flags and banners were in the pickup trucks cruising through the streets...

....all down by the Georgia state capitol and down by the CNN Center some are bitter out in these streets! 

It’s going down! but even these house Negroes and field Negroes were both acting silly, talking crazy like Vernon Jones  and so called revolutionary clones, so what's up with you?

How did others play? who will try to jack it for a couple of dollars? now acting brand new...

It’s going down, act like you knew love will abandon you some say it doesn't live there anymore! that's word from Rose Royce

As we proceed and continue! It’s Going Down from here in Atlanta from a remote outpost out here off of I-20 as we drop this good word and the sound raising our voice!

This good word revealed that it's tight in these hoods from the ATL to Philadelphia from Phoenix and Las Vegas to Louisville..Janet Jackson was heard asking big homie what have you done for me lately?

It’s going down as we try to get our game tight during this Scorpio Season but aware of the treason; some will love me or hate me..

Mr Mendel - Mind Power

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we try to keep this Saturday Night Fever set going! 

Partying with a purpose is how we’re trying to work this; let the healing process begin as we try to move to The Next Chapter  ; uphill is how it seems to be going!

O -Dizzle mentioned the uphill struggle earlier as we have work to do even with Biden and Harris elected

What’s the dizzle? At the end of the day the system won’t be fair with that and this my people are still disrespected..

So what’s expected?  Regardless of what it is, James Brown said we’ll need to use Mind Power..

This is the Mr Mendel edit, coming with it on this Saturday night at the last hour!
