This needs to be on a CD/DVD. There's much energy in this and much truth.

HELL YEEEAAAAHHH!!!
he discovered
a world of rhythyms
on the turntables
he mapped this
washing the heads
of the sinner
like he was JOHN the boom-BAP-tist
mixing up the samples
what others didn't use
becoming to those like me
a bad ass in leather muse
but what's hip hop now?
nothing worth to mention
been packaged and sold
like our ancestors
subject to a corporate lynchin'.

what i'm trying to say is, i really thought this was excellent. i'm glad he's not been forgotten.

peace and blessings, alex
