EVEN THOUGH I WAS FAR FROM AN ANGEL IN MY YOUNGER DAYS, THAT
RAP I MADE UP WAS FICTIONAL AND DID NOT HAPPEN.
I MEAN I EVEN DIED IN IT. I THEN
LIVED THE WRONG WAY AS I MOVED TO LONDON WITH A CHILD’S MIND AND WAS THUS
MATURED AROUND WOE. I WROTE IT WHEN I
WAS IN THE PRISON BLOCK, FOR SIX WEEKS FOR BEATING UP AN OFFICER. I DO NOT CONDONE THAT LIFESTYLE AS I NOW VIEW
IT TO BE SELF DESTRUCTIVE.
RAPPERS WHO USE THEIR SOCIOLOGICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL REASONING IN MUSIC TO
ARTISTICALLY ENTERTAIN IS FINE.
SHAKESPEARE'S PLAYS ARE FULL OF CRIME AND VIOLENCE. IT IS JUST THAT ONE IS WRITTEN AND ONE IS
SPOKEN. WHEN I LISTEN TO ANY MUSIC WHICH
IS COLLOQUIAL, DEROGATORY AND REJECTS CONSERVATIVE VALUES, THAT IS FINE BECAUSE
I WILL NOT BEHAVE IN THE WAY THAT ANY OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS PREACH, NO MATTER
HOW MUCH OF A FAN I AM. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EDUCATED OR ARE IMPRESSIONABLE DO SOMETIMES LOOK AT THEIR RAP STARS AS GODS. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS THE SAME, MY FAVOURITE MUSICIANS WERE WRONGLY MY GODS, WHOSE WORDS WERE LIKE LAW. NOW I HAVE MY OWN MIND.
SHAKESPEARE
CLAIMED THAT HIS VIOLENT PLAYS ‘CLEANSED THE SOUL.’ THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN HE
WROTE CRIME OR WOE, THE READER OR, AS IT WAS IN ELIZABETHAN TIMES, THE PERSONS
ATTENDING THE THEATRE COULD ENJOY THE ART WITHOUT DOING IT THEMSELVES. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS NOW ONE OF THE MOST
VALUED LAWS OF MODERNITY AND WITHOUT IT, WE WOULD RETURN TO THE DAYS OF THE
BURNING OF THE PERCEIVED WITCH OR HERETIC AT THE STAKE, LIKE THE VICTIM OF JOAN
OF ARC OR THE CULPABLE BLOODY MARY. SO
LET NOT THOSE WHO CLAIM TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF MAN, SELF ESTEEM BE SO LOW THAT THEY NEED TO SEXUALISE EXPRESSIONISM
AND BUGGER THE MIMICKING PARROT!
