Words From Poppa Purp – Pain
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture, Words From
Real niggas cry when real niggas die.
3:15am
July 29th 2009
They killed one of my best friends. After 5 aimless hours of walkin through the hood i decided to lay back and write this. I know yall are used to my comical comentary and stories but just lemme vibe out a lil, i need an outlet, My mind is fucked up, the tears stopped temporarily, i never had someone that close to me get clipped. Pain is an emotion i was lucky enough to dodge over the years exept for tonight. I gotta get out the hood, this life isnt detrimental towards living, niggas die in the hood everyday but why my Terell? why couldnt he be an exception to our environment? whats so crazy about it is that our last conversation was about how long we knew eachother and how no-one in the immediate click ever got taken off this earth…..see how life works, here today, gone tomorrow. Shit be too ironic, too coincidental. There i am in the hospital watchin him on that bed amazed at what im seein…..my Terell dead, gone…how? why?…i kissed his hand and told him goodbye, my nigga for life, i can only see u in my thoughts now but dont forget to save me a spot in the clouds when i get to see you again.

Stalking Guitar Lesson
Posted by Mickey Factz | Filed under Art
Inspiration: Balthasar Klossowski de Rola Guitar Lesson, 1934
“Binoculars from an explorer
Scopes out the homes of women as a voyeur
When his eyes loiter
They come across a lesson
Confession
What’s viewed is etched in
His skeleton
Strings are still pulled
The disgust in his cornea is full
Hair like wool
Draped over the treasured prize
Instead, helplessness is what derives
Why?
Could it be
A missed note off key
The tune up wasn’t correct…
I see
Well
Tutor and student
The future’s eluded
The music’s secluded
Instead I’m viewing a truant
Using her movements
Confusing the foolish…
Is this a spanking
Or a thanking?
As the shade on his window closes
He finally hears the strings from the guitar stroking…
Music to his ears” – It’z Mickey
