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

 

Shadow Boxing (Part One)

 Digital Crate Digging Continues on what I refer to as a Terrible / Terrific Tuesday; things can play out either way..

We're usually "all up in the sound" but at the moment we're dropping this good word; "playing it another way"

On this day, actually any other day we're shadow boxing trying to stay in shape, before the match referees pull out the tape...

Let us pray is also the movement, shadow work is also done; once again it's on!! ourselves? we can't escape..

Let us play was anothers motivation; the police interrogation revealed that ‘powdered love’ has some shadow boxing!

They were tripping out, soon flipping out!! delusional like still believing Trump won the election, now starting an insurrection leading to his impeachment / the epitome of hustle knocking..

They were tripping out like they're on them "schrooms"; a generic generation of gnomes? They spotted them! Magical it seemed! Shadow boxing with imaginary foes who introduced woes? Eclectic! now they’re asking me; do angels dream? Supposedly an ex-angel! They worked the wrong angle it seemed, soon they were on the wrong team.

Peeping game while shadow boxing, a bruh spotted the elephant or the bear in the room!

Who’s to blame? chilling in a World Of Trouble per Lou Rawls? Dealing with a naysayer who hopes that a bruh falls? Throughout it all a dude balls! Dropping this good word and the beats will boom!

Beatnuts - Watch Out Now (Altered Tapes Rework)

Digital Crate Digging Continues on this Music Monday, that also happens to be MLK Day

The saga / struggle continues check these menus as we still put work in dropping this good word and letting the music play!

That’s the deal for those asking How Will We Play; we’re putting it down like this! 

That’s the deal! Of course we’ll have to pray based on how these Trump insurgents  play / how they’ll get down with this! 

What’s the deal? You found this brotha dropping this disco funk / hip hop from the Beatnuts with a track called Watch Out Now..

This is the Altered Tapes Rework as they put in work; watch out now!

Collections / Connections (Part Ten)

Sunday Jazz Continues but on this Sunday morning excuse me as I collect my thoughts..

The madness continues So How Will We Play It? we’re fighting back dropping this good word plus we’re launching Sonic Assaults.

We’re making connections worldwide / universal my constituents will know how it go!

At the moment we’re dealing with that and this; 2020 was a rough year but 2021 doesn’t seem any different, but we’ll see how it goes! 

On this Sunday morning? We’re collecting our thoughts per this moment of reflection / internal inspection; We’ll put it all in order.

Like the Trump insurrection opponents were distracting, with distortion in descending order? Beats bump in this section, plus the good word is dropped; credit given for seeing through the Smoke and mirrors?

Forgive / understanding? that’s from the GOP talking about unity after the Capitol dealt with horrors / terrors..

Out on the fast break collections enhanced; getting the dunk like Lebron or vintage D Wade!

Out there breaking the so called Kings English and beats up; check the connections, plus the funk is played!

Realizing that it’s rough out here! self inflicted injuries suffered by slackers and dopers?  now left wondering why!

Some went on with their bad selves!! that's how they kicked it! At the end of the day? They  found out its all a damn lie!
