The World's Not Over Yet...Oakland to SF at Low Tide
This Summer some of my musician cohorts will be doing a few geurilla-style out door shows. Probably at sites that look a lot like this.
The world's not over yet.
Maybe that should be the title with everybody wondering if all the folks in Iceland will eventually all the calcium in their bodies be slowly replaced by flouride due to the high toxicity of the volcanic ash from the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) [ yes a REAL concern... ]
The truth is, as many have stated, Nature is not intent on making life difficult.
We're just here, in many cases trying to live in accordance with it.
(however, not those past and presently working for Goldman Sachs!)
There's still an open ended war on. A new age nuclear arms race is in full swing. (heck, what's a reduction when you've ALREADY got enough to obliterate everyone thousands of times over)
And still, groups are rehearsing their routines, be it skipping, hip hop dance, uninterrupted rhymes, mixing, remixing, or...
just flat out reduction.
Such introspection prompts a new focus for us at BWLP. When you already ARE hip hop; doing it daily... the culture aspect is always about and alive. Why promote our own brand of that? Who cares. What IS interesting, at least to me as one constantly intrigued by the world around us, is perspective and story.
Rhymes, perspective and story.
Graffiti? Perspective and story.
Snapshots? Perspective and story.
Inner evolution, consumption, humanity, each-one-teach-oneness', instrumentals, skating skills, musicality, motivations....
you got it.
If we offended anyone previously for our naivitee here, we apologize.
It's a new time. We'll be biggin up eveyone and everything we enjoy and giving credit and props to those who make it happen and create it.
And currently, we're jazzed about these folks who keep it moving...

Everything will be different in May...how we do our thing.
We hope you dig it.
Stay Tuned.
