To the heavens left your vessel below.

Who is the enemy?
Who do I fight when they try to kill me?
Do we pick our foes like we tip on toes on hard wood floors that creak?
Trying to sneak by silently.
I Protest the best that's inside of me
violently waking a caged beast I was bred to be
with a steady diet of lies.
A savory sweet Sunday on a Sunday afternoon.
A savory defeat to my ego's enemy is a spoonful of truth Monday morning.
Good, mourning the death of hope.
It took courage for it to walk that tight rope.
When it was tethered between the towers.
Planes crash land.
Told god some jokes, the punchlines were my plans.
God laughs until it rains, I cry...

How to get into hip hop
It has been ask of me recently, to provide guidance on how to get into hip hop music. It can be overwhelming with all the rappers, emcees, and everything in between claiming to be real hip hop and flooding the sound waves with their version of the music. The reality, hip hop is diverse! People draw distinction between rap and hip hop, but really it all stems from the culture of hip hop and there are many branches. So how do you navigate your way through the varieties of hip hop? Start with what you’ve heard and liked. Find out who the artist is and who they have worked with. Since like minds flock together you will begin rapidly expanding your hip hop collection with similar sounding artist. Also you may want to find out who produces the tracks (music without the lyrics). After all it was the music of hip hop that got me hooked and if that is the case for you, follow the producers. Eventually you will develop an ear to appreciate good music production and lyrics, and you have to work at. It is my opinion that the best of hip hop is not represented in pop culture, so you have to do your research to find it. To get you on the right foot, in the right direction, Here is my list of recommended artist to begin listening to.
