Whats good all? Im sitting here chillin’ at work, wishing I was doing something better with my time. Just imagine the feeling that someone or something literally has their hands on your lungs squeezing the air and life out of you….Well that’s how I feel with this bullshit. When you know you were born to express your creativity and actually make a career of it, yet, you have to make ends meet by becoming a mere cog in the machine that we all are apart of in some way shape and form. Well I don’t know about you guys, by my team and I are building our OWN ”machine” right now, its a protoype never before seen. If you are curious as to what type of “machine” we are building, I suggest you stay tuned….

Inspiration is defined as:
Inspiration has propelled human society time and time again over the course of our complex and deeply rooted history. Inspiration is like coincidence in that it comes in many a shape, form, and time frame. Inspiration is what drives the great minds of the world to become more innovative than they have ever been before. My Inspiration may speak words by the thousands, but none may describe it more than a picture : ( Look Below)
…. This picture is more than just a mere photograph of a performer on stage. To me, it represents the late nights staying awake in the studio prepping a beat to sync with the lyircs. It represents a passion that can only be described when one steps in front of large group of admirers and hear those very admirers mirror the words to your inner most thoughts. It represents touring the world, recording your life via poetry, expanding your social boundaries beyond the constraints of the environment you once grew up in. It represents the money and extensive amount of time invested into a dream never imagined before.
Lets visualize this for a moment; stage….anxious crowd…packed from wall to wall…DJ, Live band, and stage crew all set…the center piece is the only thing missing from the scene. The steps to the future are right in front of you, the limelight is waiting to find its target to shine on, the stars are aligned, everything is just right. You take your first few steps toward the stairs and up onto the stage….the crowd roars….You have arrived, fade to the future…..TRUE INSPIRATION

What Up World? Its your favorite hip-hop music blogger MuzikFlow. And this here blog is dedicated to one thing only…..” Why You Should Listen to WordLyfe”. Now people are gonna ask….”What or who the Hell is WordLYFE?” Well I’ll tell you! WordLYFE is a hip-hop group who represent both Boston and New Jersey respectively. The two emcees came together to form this group in 2005 and have been making music ever since. Group members “Lexx Black” and “S.B.” shared a similar taste and love for real hip-hop. These guys are not your typical run of the mill bang-bang shoot em up rappers, these guys bring thought provoking music with each line they deliver. Listening to their music reminded me of the days when lyrics and passion played a much bigger role than materialistic allure. But these guys right here are not to be pigeonholed either, their style of music allows them to transition between a wide array of subjects that nearly everyone can relate to. This is what makes them unique! This sense of balance that I get when I try to describe their music can only be truly understood if one listens to them very closely. The wordplay, the hidden subliminals and double entendres and general to hermetical song concepts are enough of a dose of good music to make me play their songs in my iPod all day…literally. To further prove my point ( and as we all know this is clearly just my opinion), below are a couple of links to their mixtapes available online for free( because we all know that nobody wants to pay for music from an artist they never heard of), their myspace page AND vids of live performances of the up and coming hip-hop duo, WordLyfe…..

* THE VIDEO TO SEE THEM PERFORMING LIVE IS RIGHT ON THERE MYSPACE SITE, ONCE ON THEIR PAGE JUST SCROLL DOWN AND COUPLE NOTCHES AND YOU WILL SEE THE VID*

Hip-Hop…Two words that carry more meaning and roots that rival the oldest tree on planet earth. A culture that slowly cultivated even before its initial conception; through slavery up until the present, elements of hip hop have been around for centuries. Now, presently considered as one of the most popular genres of music of all time, the magnifying glass has grown to gargantuan proportions revealing more about its true nature; whether it be positive or negative. The public sphere nowadays however, has been primarily exposed to the latter. Since becoming popularized, hip-hop has become much of a scape goat for society’s troubles. Is this tied to racism? Who knows? Many speculate so. Whatever the reason may be, a lot of people who don’t understand the culture itself hold it responsible for the behavior of the younger generations that DO listen to it. Now why does this occur? Why does this genre of music endure more criticism than others? Is it because the majority of the entertainers in that business are “minorities”? The racism in America has become effectively institutionalized. If you don’t beleive me…Do some research through history, and I mean THOROUGH research and you will understand what I am talking about. The reason I put that out there is for this: Major Record Labels…. One of the main forces behind the commercial success of Hip-Hop today is because of the joint momentum between the creativity of the artists and the corporations who noticed this potential and acted quickly to market, sell and make it more profitable than it had ever been before. Now, on one side of the spectrum, this was tremendously good to see that Hip-Hop was finally getting world-wide recognition. But over time, exploitation became the ultimate motive in order to reach the bottom line. This issue has been a major topic of discussion within the hip-hop community for years on end. But it seems that at this current time, the culture appears to be in critical condition. To many, the market has been flooded with “minstrel” like musical acts( Click here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UfCmYyG-yg4 for a primary example)….. A vicious reminder that history will find other ways and means to repeat itself even IF in the most minute of forms. Now this video represents more than just a good laugh or actual entertainment, this video represents the very thing that past and current African American political leaders, activists, and other prominent figures in African-American history have fought long and hard to rid their culture of: Caricatures. This artist may not have had the intention of doing any damage, but the evidence is clear, record labels are largely contributing to the decadence of hip-hop. I would like to shift the focus to a bold statement made by Nas. Nas, a critically acclaimed rapper outright stated in 2006 that Hip-Hop is Dead. At the time, the southern region of the United states was flourishing with hits in the hip-hop world and many people felt that his statement was aimed directly at those artists….Though this truly wasn’t the case, a lot of backlash came as a result. The true intention of that statement however, was not to offend, but to open the eyes of the general public. As most hip-hop heads know, some of the greatest lyricists to contribute to hip-hop are from the south; and like every other region in the U.S., you are going to get a lot of terrible contributors and you are going to find a few gems that change the game forever. So what was the purpose of this 1st entry? It was merely to stimulate your minds and hopefully generate some rhetorical questions within each of those who reads this. This is only Part One of the discussion
