Tomahawk

My buddy's band made a video. They think it's for their stupid song, but it's really a tribute to my Riviera

There's a podcast that just came out called Wind of Change where some investigative reporter is trying to prove or disprove the rumor that Wind of Change, the old Scorpions song from the 90s that basically became the fall of communism theme song, was actually written by the CIA as propaganda. 

Super interesting if you're into that shtein.  Comes out for free once a week or I think the whole thing is up on Spotify if you pay for it.

I actually have that album, and have listened to it a few times.  About as deep as I ever got into real hip hop.  I'll cue it up later today.

even if you dont like rap or the music just farging read the albums rhymes....its farging bananas


What I provide will collide with devilish ways of thinkin'
Erasin' false facts that started with Abe Lincoln
Bein' great, used his weight and freed the slaves
But did he free us?
Take a look around at the black man, see us
Illiteracy rules, they showin' cartoons in school
They're way understaffed, and I don't understand the math
Now, the way the system works
The black man can get the purchase
Drop the family, it neutralizes many
Like wards of the state, doin' one-to-ten in Dannemora
The welfare system can create a black horror
Now some people need the money but others, they can manage
By doin' this, they take away the cash for disadvantaged
And the long list grows, more dependency bodes
This creates a cycle but a cipher unequal
This is the wrong circle that contains the black people
Now the way devil got us is the way the devil want us
He try to hold us back and he overly floss us
This ain't even his land, the Indians was here first
The savagery displayed made the red-man disperse
I'm out to squash the whitewashed brainwashed line of thought
I got a million books and a school in the fort in the Rule
With three great teachers
God Sincere made it clear, is also a great feature
So beware, devil man, the days of purge is almost over
The army's on the range, you think it's kind of strange
Nubians is in the picture, Armageddon's gonna hit ya

---------------------------------------------------------------


As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized...Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise
I guess I'm like the Verbalizer for the fact I'm moving Blackwards...This Asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth....Father of civilization, God of the universe
Manifesting thoughts with my infinite styles....Making sure this travels twenty-three million miles
The other six I set the crucifix...Because the heart of the problem is this
Preacher got my Old Earth putting money in the pan
For the rest of the week, now I'm eating out a soup can
He has a home, drives a Caddy through town
Has my Old Earth believing that he's coming from the ground (Jesus)
Slain are those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the pipe
A drug controlled substance, contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of tricknology
But I have knowledge of myself, you're not fooling me
You see, the answer to me is black unity, unification
To help our bad situation
I wrote this on a day of Wisdom, Power
All being born to myself
I won't diss the next brother to be paid, that's not my trade
It's just the plan that is designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (The way of us)
That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (It is no fuss)
It's just that sad old song, "Self Destruction"
To stop our reproduction

They put our Wisdom before us (murderer!)
That makes it Wisdom, Knowledge (murderer!)
But we need Knowledge, Wisdom to bring forth the Understanding (murderer!)
Culture, Freedom (murderer!)
Power, Refinement (murderer!)
Equality, God, Build, Destroy, Borns our Cipher (murderer!)

(Can a devil fool a Muslim?) No, not nowadays bro
(Do you mean to say the devil fooled us four hundred years ago?)
Why Equal Self, a trader made an interpretation
Saying that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation
(Did we receive more gold?) Non Cipher
It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper

The solution: knowledge of self to better ourself
'Cause I know myself, that we can live much better than this
Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel
The devil's still causing trouble amongst the righteous people
Drugs in our community (That ain't right)
Can't even get a job (That ain't right)
Poisoning our babies (That ain't right)
Lying who is God (That ain't right)
Well, here's some food for thought, many fought for the sport
And the black man still comes up short?
It's time to motivate, build and elevate
Blind, deaf, and dumb, we've gotta change their mind state
So I dip dip diver, civilize a 85'er
Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
This is the plan from the brother man From the motherland, now it's time to take a stand
I keep striving to do my duty to awake 'em
To the universal family, I say As-salamu Alaykum
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

is there on the interwebs a reverse search database kind of thing that allows you to input an album, or song, and learn how many times and by whom it's been sampled?

I'm self-aware enough to understand this is a total "dad" post...but as a writer myself, I thought this was the coolest thing. The kid put out a demo album mostly to stick it to the pandemic and didn't expect much from it, but this article from the national staple American Songwriter was super cool, at least to a dad...ha: https://americansongwriter.com/at-16-jake-thistle-could-be-the-next-generations-classic-singer-songwriter

I can't imagine the worries you must have facing the prospect of your kid becoming an actual rock star.  Good luck to you all.
