Whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic

Community to its drum woven past

Whereas the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to

Calculate the ever changing distance between rock and stardom

Whereas the velocity of the spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and

Re-released at the same given moment of recorded history, yet at a

Different moment in time's continuum has allowed history to catch up with

The present

We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing standards of dialogue

Statements, such as, "keep it real", especially when punctuating or

Anticipating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically

Or depicting an unchanging rule of events will hence forth be seen as

Retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is

Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of

Being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular

Manifestations, the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased

By a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal

Aggressors

Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize

We have found evidence that hip hops standard 85 rpm when increased by a

Number as least half the rate of it's standard or decreased at ¾ of it's

Speed may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness

Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the

Unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth

Equate rhyme with reason, Sun with season

Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the

Centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and

Effect

Reject mediocrity!

Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which as been given

For you to understand

The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the

Diet of an infant

The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative

Symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed

Pears

Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness

The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, Ignorance, but

With the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen

SHAKUR, THOSE STILL AFLAMED, AND THE COUNTLESS UNNAMED

We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter

We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun

We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us

We are determining the future at this very moment

We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone

Our music is our alchemy

We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full

Of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down

Supply the percussion factor of forever

If you must count to keep the beat then count

Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious

Curve you circles counterclockwise

Use your cipher to decipher, Coded Language, man made laws

Climb waterfalls and trees, commune with nature, snakes and bees

Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day for

Today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies

Into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry

Crafts, love, and love

We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic

Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference

Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to

Uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World
