„... Mitten in der Stadt und doch irgendwie in einer ganz eigenen Welt. Die Tageszeit definiert an solchen Orten, was hier normal ist. Die Bühne bleibt, nur die Akteure wechseln sich ab. Und mit ihnen die Handlung. Oder eher die Handlungen... Was ein Leben nicht alles beeinflussen kann. Oft sind es Kriege; die realen wie die, die in den Gedanken ausgetragen werden. Oder in der eigenen Seele. An manchen Tagen glaube ich, wir sind irgendwie alle Kollateralschäden. Der Krieg, der heute ausgetragen wird, trifft uns alle. Aber niemand nimmt ihn mehr wahr nach dem hundertsten Brennpunkt und den sich ständig überbietenden Schlagzeilen. Mit manchem Junkie habe ich schon tiefgreifendere Gespräche geführt als mit manchem Arbeitskollegen. Über wen sagt das mehr aus? Aber meine Sicht ist eh eingeschränkt. Ich will auch nicht mehr alles wahrnehmen. Schon gar nicht die Wahrheit oder das, was die ganzen Arschlöcher mir als die Wahrheit verkaufen wollen. Diese Pusher sollen sich ihre Fake News, Lügen, Ressentiments und Phrasen selbst reinziehen. Die Vergangenheit mahnt und baut uns eine Brücke, die unser über die Gräben und Gräber führen kann. Aber irgendwie wollen viele diese Brücke lieber einreißen und das Gewesene vergessen... Bildung hilft. Und das sagt jemand, der in den Augen vieler Ungebildet ist. Kunst ist die Mutter des Widerstandes. Weil hinter jeder Kunst eine Kultur steht, die frei sein muss im Denken und Handeln. Sonst ist es keine Kunst, sondern eine Doktrin... Ich bin oft unkultiviert, aber nie kulturlos... Since I made it this far, can't stop now. There's a will and a way and I got the know-how. To be all I can be and more. And see all there is to see before. I'm called to go back to the essence. It's a lot to learn so I study my lessons...“

„Was soll ich sagen, ich kann Deine Ablehnung ein Stück weit nachvollziehen. Und Du hast vielleicht schon bemerkt, dass es mir nicht darum geht, irgend etwas schön zu reden. Aber hier ist es so wie mit vielem anderen auch. Ab einer gewissen Dosis wirst Du immun, ab einem gewissen Punkt entwickelst Du ein anderes Verständnis von Normalität. Nein, das erklärt nichts. Und wie oft muss ich es noch sagen, ich möchte auch nichts rechtfertigen. Jeder von uns entwickelt sich anderes, jeder von uns wird in seinem ganz eigenen Umfeld geprägt. Und ich bin eben mit vielen Dingen groß geworden, die andere nicht verstehen können. Aber andere mögen auch Dinge, die ich nicht verstehe. So schließt sich der Kreis. Was bleibt mir anderes übrig, als Dir meine Welt zu erklären und danach zum Malen raus zu gehen... It ain't where you're from, it's where ya at... “

„... My Reality is just fucked up... Den Sinn wirst Du nie verstehen. Warum auch? Hintergründe muss man nicht nur sehen, sondern auch verstehen. Aber was sollen Erklärungen bringen, wenn sie die Sache nur noch komplizierter machen... Planet Earth, was my place of birth … But it seems like I'm locked in hell... I stand alone and need nothin' to lean on... It ain't where you're from, it's where ya at... Aus dem Gastarbeiterkind ist nichts geworden, sagen die einen. Womit sie Recht haben von ihrem Standpunkt aus gesehen. Aber was sie bei ihrer Bewertung vergessen ist, dass ein Maßstab nicht für jedes System gültig ist. Das ist mein Trost. Und auch meine Genugtuung. Würde ich sie in meiner Welt zu einem Battle herausfordern, dann würde ich die Competition klar gewinnen. Aber warum sollte ich das tun? Ihre Gleichgültigkeit und vielleicht sogar vorhandene Verachtung ist mir lieber. Wie soll ich es sagen? In meiner Welt ist kein Platz für sie. An diesem Punkt fängt meine Verrücktheit an... Since I made it this far, can't stop now. There's a will and a way and I got the know-how. To be all I can be and more... An mir haftet der Geruch der Gosse und all der anderen Orte, an denen ich mich wohl fühle. Das alles waren meine Bibliotheken und Hörsäle. Und die Namen meiner Professoren werden nur Eingeweihten etwas sagen. Aber das ist eben die Kunst: Freiheit, Grenzenlosigkeit. Kreativität lässt sich nicht ausgrenzen. Ebenso wenig wie das Sein...“
Eric B. & Rakim - In the Ghetto
I walk on water
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water
But only when it freezes
Why are expectations so high?
Is it the bar I set?
My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
Soon as I grab, squeeze
I lose my grip like the flyin' trapeze
Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackenin'
I know the mark's high, butterflies rip apart my stomach
Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with
You're gonna harp, gripe, and
That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these
As pressure increases like khakis
I feel the ice cracking, because
I walk on water
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water (shit)
But only when it freezes
It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set
Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
Will this step just be another misstep
To tarnish, whatever the legacy, love or respect
I've garnered?
The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark
'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
Like, "This shit is garbage!"
God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
And I try not to listen to nonsense
But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence
Mission accomplished
I'm not God-sent
Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so

After a bit of haitus due to my disdain for freezing temps, I did some shooting this week in the unseasonably warm weather. Got some new stuff to edit. Eventually. Woot.
Michael Patrick Kelly – Wonders (Official Video) Ft. Rakim
I know, I know
That you can’t see your tomorrow today
Will you let go, let go?
Can I hold you, can I make it feel okay?
You’re coming alive, coming alive
Cry a tear of joy, cry a tear of pain
You’re coming alive, coming alive
Beauty’s gonna wipe the fear away
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under, under, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Getting stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
So deep in doubt
And I know just how you feel in that place
But take a look around
There’s a million little sparks of a golden age
We’re coming alive, coming alive
Cry a tear of joy, cry a tear of pain
We’re coming alive, coming alive
Beauty’s gonna wipe the fear away
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under, under, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Getting stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Rakim:
Can you see what I'm seeing?
Or are you distracted by the poverty stricken streets and deep depression that we in?
I see survivors of the worst conditions to be in.
You see deceiving the demons,
the death and the grieving.
No place to raise a seed in,
but the rose still grows through the crack left in the cement.
Just as pleasant as Eden where wonders succeed in.
And greed and oppression's the reason people unite, even give their life,
expressing what they believe in.
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under, under, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Getting stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
I see wonders all around the world
Signs and wonders all around the world
I see wonders all around the world
Signs and wonders
Tell me, do you see what I see?

Je vous conseil vivement d'aller à la rencontre des artistes de l'association Errakim à Médéa pour l'occasion de la 6ème édition de l'Atelier National de la calligraphie "édition du défunt calligraphe Mustapha Rakim" du 29 mars au 1er avril 2010, à la maison de la culture Hassan Hassani de Médéa, Algérie.
Le céramiste Kamel Ould Ramoul - 2009
It's easy to lose your way in the twisting corners of Barcelona's Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter). The narrow streets and medieval facades make this a maze you won't mind getting lost in. This central, original part of Barcelona juxtaposes historic architecture with modern commercialism. Merchants of every kind can be found around each corner. I don't doubt it was much the same when these buildings were put up.
As with any attraction in this spectacular city, these streets can get busy. Teeming hoards of tourists trample the cobblestones at almost all hours. Luckily there are many side streets to nip down to take a photo with less human elements.
While a church choir may be the best music to accompany this photo, my tastes are a bit different. Here's Dead can Dance with Rakim
rikas las adoro :) !

"Thinking of a master plan
'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hands
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint"
I had an idea earlier while listening to Eric B & Rakim's "Paid In Full". I didn't really get the shot that I really wanted, but it'll do.
Freestyle, painted in Honor of the Homie Crisis AKB, at the bomb shelter in 1997. "Krylons". I was just trying to big up one of the original master blasters in the Twin Cities. I had found at this time how quickly the next generation can forget some true pioneers in the game. Atleast, for the Twin Cities. Crisis was the original all city graff bomber of the Twin Cities. Whereas, I might have been hitting the freeways and bridges, he was hitting damn near anything and everything he could get on. He was the first real Rooftop Pioneer. Having some influences from Chi-Town, he had seen some things that weren't common for people like me, from the West Coast and not only had he started it here but he was doing it pretty hardcore. He was also the first Twin Cities writer to use Phantom Caps or Fixatives. His style of tagging was real unique too. Where I was from and from the era I started in, tags were generally unconnected and super legible. (i/e CHAKA, etc....) He had this style of tagging that was just so on point. His letters would start and finish in the next letter, making them connect. He used to and still does this with his piece letters too. Around this time, he had left to go to Atlanta. I'm sure a lot of writers in ATL could tell you how he would kill shit on the Throw up level on the Atlanta streets. Even back in the day, I used to school people on who did what, where and when and who was first. Crisis was usually tops on a lot of those lists. I may not have any knowledge prior to 1989 but for the most part, I saw it all. Crisis was also one of the decision makers that put me down in AKB. Prior to myself, I had only known of about 7 other writers in the crew. There was Self, Oro, Res, Waks, Wesu, True 54 and Crisis. By the time I was put down, Oro was gone, Res was pretty much retired and Waks and Wesu were pretty much not active. So, there was basically 4 of us killing shit on the regular. Prior to being put down, it was cool because I used to tag a spot, then they would tag the spot and vice versa. It was really cool. It was like we were trying to communicate to each other. Till finally one day when Self ran into me in uptown. I was all G'd up West Coast style (Khaki suited and Booted) with a custom embroidered L.A. Kings hat on with my crew and EROS One written on the side. I was such a stand out for the area, that he thought for sure I was a cop. I laugh about it nowadays because I seriously had to look like a complete outcast in this city at the time. Even to this day, noone has ever really picked up that West Coast swagger we used to have and rocked it right. There are little bits and pieces of that style that gets mixed up in the local styles and culture but not like it used to be in the 80's. More of the original Midwest style comes from Chicago with writers like Crisis, etc..... I remember getting in Hip Hop debates with these guys, especially Crisis back in the day, about who was the best rappers out. I was all NWA and Ice-T and these guys were like, KRS one and Rakim. I hadn't even heard of KRS one at the time and after a few listens to it from the boys, I still didn't get it. I just couldn't relate to what he was talking about. I was just too biased to what I was hearing on the West Coast. Of course now, KRS one is the shit and really put it down but that just goes to show you how different ones perspective can be. I got mad love and respect for the Homeboy Crisis and recently he came up here and visited and we were able to rock out a quick production. I hope we can get together and do it again sometime, like we did back in the day, for old times sake!

Impressed by this guy @rakimism for being able to follow his goals and be his own boss. Not everyone gets to do what they love for a living. Each shoot is showing his growth in life and as a photographer. I only hope to get on his level as a creative and person. Thanks for all the daily inspiration.

My latest ukiyo-e stencil graff. I'm getting more adventurous. Records pictured:
-It takes a nation of millions to hold us back- Public Enemy
-Follow the leader- Eric B and Rakim
-By all means necessary- Boogie Down Productions
All three of these records came out in 1988. I didn't include any Run DMC simply because "tougher than leather" doesn't have that iconic of a cover.
Wow, rap was actually good once.

Eric B. & Rakim--Juice (Know The Ledge)
Just at the library trying to pick up a few bits of information. I was talking to someone earlier about a few things and I decided to hit the library and try to read up on them.
I was in the project management area, but I eventually got sidetracked by some of the photography books.

The one and only, Rakim.
Takin' a moment to view his legacy. As he says best, "Don't Sweat the Technique".
EDITED PHOTO: The CD was colorized and I added in the hearts and stripes. I did all the editing on "June 3, 2021". I used two programs to do the editing. I used "PhotoPad Image Editor" for the colorization on the CD and I used "Paint" for the hearts and stripes. Before I done the colorization, I inverted the photo to change the color of the pavement. The original photo was vertical. I changed it to horizontal. This was a "Rakim" CD that I seen outside on the street. I picked up the CD to see who was on it. I sampled "Rakim" on "YouTube" to see what he sounded like. It was lousy hip hop. I did NOT like it at all. I have the hearts in the photo to make it look pretty and interesting. It was NOT out of love for "Rakim".

Et voilà ! Je reviens d'un shooting photo qui a duré 6 heures, 620 photos de prises. Sacrée expérience... Wow...
Chaque jour, je posterai une nouvelle photo du shooting et je garde les plus sexy pour la fin bande de coquins.
Au début, ça été laborieux. Les premières photos c'était franchement pas ça, bordel en vrai c'est hyper dur de prendre qq en photo. C'était aussi la première fois qu'elle posait et du coup elle était aussi expérimenté que moi mais c'était génial, on a vraiment passé un bon moment et on a beaucoup rigolé forcément, la base.
J'adore le résultat, j'ai des photos absolument magnifiques dans le lot vous verrez au fil des jours et j'ai eu la chance d'avoir une aussi jolie partenaire ce qui m'a franchement facilité la tâche.
Bref, j'ai quelques photos en stocks là, même quelques paysages et du coup ça tombera au fil des jours, stay tuned !
