There is no beginning nor ending to the constant state of "Fucked Up" we (as a people) are reduced to. Yea - we spend our 'county' or 'welfare' checks on Jordans and Hennessy. Yea - we can weave platinum hair onto a bald-weasel before hitting the club. Yea - we will attempt to put 'spreewells' and 'spinners' on a fuckin' toaster oven. Yea - we are normally the most ignant speaking voice on the 5 o'clock news. Yea - we got one-year old diabetics due to red Kool-aid bottles. Yea - we think 'representin' the fucked up block we grew up on is the shit. The list is endless...this cycle of life is neverending......but this shit is now at another level.
We keep the Asian market jumping with bootleg products (i.e. CDs, Tapes, DVDs, pockeybooks, perfume, fake-ass bling jewelry, etc, etc, etc.); corner stores, and - of course - the 'Currrrry Out.' (Mambo sauce anyone - no, excuse me, Sambo sauce!) We keep the hands of THE MAN tightly around our necks by excepting every single thing he hands us. We keep our communities looking like urban shit by throwing trash errrywhere, busting up the fire hydrants in the summer, tearing the playgrounds the fuck up, and allowing Lil' Boo Boo to terrorize the neighboorhood at all times of the night when his 5-year-old ass should be long gone to sleep.
They exploit us....we exploit us. FUBU (
Fucked
Up
By
Us) is a reality.
True Hip-Hop is an expression of self. It's an art. But...this...is NOT:
INTRODUCING..........(some shit that - for real - turned the Gregorian calendar back 300 years on us!)
This is just 1 of 11 Rap Snacks. This particular one is Bar-B-Que chips and the bag states, "Bar-b-quing with my Honey!" Can GOD please flip the page on this chapter of our dismay. The company says that these are the 'Official Chip of Hip-Hop.' (This is a pure FUBU demonstration to the highest power.) This crap isn't in the chains....but you'll find them 'in da hood' at your nearest 7-11, High's, Danny's, Lenny's, laundromat vending, and gas station. It probably would've been too much for the communtiy to invent something like 'Black Snacks.' A plain black chip bag. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes we can make a statement by just shutting the fuck up. Needless to say, my disgust lies deep. We turn progress into regress at the blink of an eye.
When did you fall in love with hip-hop?
