THIS TRAIN

This blog is supposed to represent me as a brand, as a writer and  not as a poet not a spoken word artist or a performer. I once tried poetry and discovered that my lines didn't make sense or rather i was trying too much to rhyme. I was engrossed in the revolution,the floetry, wearing hoodies and baggy jeans .
that's not me, i am not hip hop.i am not ruff rugged and raw, that's not my brand, i don't aim to settle the scores on saliva soaked mics and sweat stained chains, i don't wear sneakers anymore.I am not hip hop.
I am supposed to write in my own style that represents me as an individual , i an  supposed to be defiant, i am supposed to be hip hop, i am supposed to do many things but yet i don't do them... no offence to my hip hop lovers i do love hip hop,infact i listened to biggie and 2pac,who am i kidding even the non hip hoppers know biggie and 2pac but ask them about Run DMC, Common, NAS, and lost boys and they will be changing the subject. Its like someone claiming to love rock simply coz they listen to Avril and Linkin Park, i mean please give it a rest..The world is litered by posers but that is a post for another day.
This blog was supposed to emancipate me from mental slavery,non but ourselves can free our mind, and no i just didnt recite a bob marley song in an attempt to sound deep...It was supposed to cure me of my introvert syndrome.i called it syndrome because i couldnt call it disease. disease sounds so ugly and unidentified. so far its helping, atleast i can talk to people and ask them pertinent questions like, what gets you up in the morning, what keeps you going.. and its funny how this questions elicit mixed responses from people . some stupid and some downright smart.
so i once got on a stage with an established spoken word artists, i had practiced lines that i had written myself on crumpled paper but i ended up making up lines that didnt make sense. that was the day i decided that spoken word,floetry,poetry,hiphop and rapping arent my thing,im more good at writing normal articles and blogposts like these...
However i have love and respect for all the artists out there who make it happen and who dont let the stage fright get to them.those who possess the mic,those who own their lines and those who conquer the floor...i attend these events and i cant help but admire the art...so today i take a moment to appreciate you all for all you do.
