It's all political when you are brainwashed. Hip is more than hopping and flashing.

c.2003 M. Bennett Hooper
Memo for the last ages of a lost found people. Or how to harness the forces of preferred culture in a rapidly changing age. Environmental reciprocity versus Euro
Status quo.
Doesn’t that sound impressive we use that title with tongue in cheek to gain the fleeting attention of a pseudo intelligentsia in their perennial pose cranium up posterior.
That’s what I said and this is what I meant for all those pretend to be bright people who continue to keep their heads up their asses.
This ones for you and those brave souls, the new people who still use the medium of the written word in development of philosophies and art.
To those new scribes who remain true to their craft and mission.

Write when all stop reading.
Write when all think it is a futile effort.
Write as if your soul demanded it.
Write because it alone makes any sense at all.
I now define environmental reciprocity as
An extension of the theorem of back scratching by the world community for social profit.
Profit which comes in the form of advancing mankind’s ability to harness the forces of preferred culture in a rapidly changing age.
Or look Mr. Charlie cause here we come only this time we’re loaded for bear in a treeless forest.
Dr. Cornell West has taught me well by example.
You ain’t the only virgin living in the whore house and
Saying let’s give up this business and open a café fools no one.

You see gangsta rappers became the new priest of urban America while no one was looking and they illuminated the importance of moral reclamation in a dysfunctional culture.
That’s right that’s what I said and this is what I meant.
They didn’t see any other options so they tried to create ones they could control.
When they tried to define environmental reciprocity in the hood it didn’t work.
You can’t get blood from a stone, or tears from a turnip that one doesn’t own.

The adults made themselves look foolish on a daily basis by the continued prostitution and dilution of our culture in order to get along.
Our young Black youth rebelled at our hypocrisy on every level and hip hop music and fashion emerged as a Black thang which has become a worldwide thang.
A creation statement which we know will go the way of the 60’s-70’s hair and beads IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

Today’s rebels are not without hope even while flaunting for many a lack of education that results in rage filled tirades against you, themselves and me as we represent nasty life filled with symbols of nothing and too tired to build new ones.
Acknowledging phrases from a past gone by we no longer wince when
A motherf***er is identified as white cause we don’t need his love.
We just want our space, that they stay out of our face, and stay off our toes.
I just need space to reflect upon our ultimate shared destiny because young blood when you are killed in the cities, we are killed everywhere.

Jesus as always comes quickly to the downtrodden during these times brought by
Merchant priests bent upon their own material consumption.
So wanting jobs and no work or work and no jobs becomes a daily
Choreography of nothing happening in the hood.
And homeboys who are gonna get theirs before there is nothing left
As they see it, recognize and know who the real robbers are.
