The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius

The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius Listen to the episode for this week of Kuiumba We love to sit by the muddy banks and complain about the storm. Look at our households, our ventures, and our exhausted minds. The shelter caved in, the resources feel waterlogged, and the old blueprint doesn't work anymore. So what do we do? We drop our tools, sit in the mud, and drown in the lower emotional loop: Mad at the downpour, Sad about what washed away, and Scared that we don't have what it takes to rebuild. From that paralyzed place, we drown in blame, shame, and guilt. We blame systemic weather; we carry the shame of broken foundations; we carry the guilt of not saving everyone. But Kuumba (Creativity) —burning in its radiant fire of deep Orange—does not ask you for seasoned, kiln-dried timber from the master’s storehouse. Kuumba looks at your mud-soaked reality and asks a sovereign question: What did the flood wash to your feet? Ancient Mangbetu lore tel...

Cerebro Playlist (Storm9000)

Image
I woke up to a pleasent surprise. Brother Storm9000 dropped a sneak peak album on sound cloud. He is working on his Cerebro Playlist. I am looking forward to the realese in late June. He has dropped four short tracks that let you know that he still got the magic touch. Unfortunately I don't have the name of the artist on these tracks except brother Malik on track 4. These four tracks are the harnbinger of the heat that Storm9000 will be dropping this summer, so take some time listen and support one of Columbus's best. In fact I will say that Storm9000 is one of the best in the world. Taking a minute and listen to the sample and I am sure that you will be excited for the summer release like I am. Cerebro Playlist

I am a Hip-Hop Philospha

I am  a Hip-Hop Philosopha and Spiritualist this means that I have a unique way of seeing the world, and the way it runs. I have the pleasure of being part of a culture that does not mind borrowing. In Hip-Hop we have always borrowed the best and created something greater. You can see it in the fashion world, in art, dance, and music just to name a few areas of life where this culture as been a big influence. Growing up in this culture and developing the mindstate that goes with it, has opened many doors for me, and has created what you are reading today. In philosophy, and spirituality I have only done what my culture has guided me to do. Just like the DJ who would mix the old with the older and create something new, I did the same. When I developed Gye-Nyame and all of the other organizations before that I was motivated and inspired by the vibe of creating something useful from old ignored elements, and changing the world. Like that DJ I was able to look at the gosp...
