#CAPEFLATSUPRISING has been a song I released on my first album called WHO AM I? In 2003. The Cape Flats has still not been able to RISE because it is the victim of hundreds of years of divide and conquer, Eurocation, mental and economic enslavement that we are oblivious to.
Looking back allows for so much learning and writing. Making A Black Noise Part 1 release this year is going to be a good release of my personal experiences and help heal Me and hopefully encourage others to tell their own stories. All we can do is tell our own stories ..,
Data Centers are poisoning the environments like in Memphis and killing elders. These cannot be the heroes of our children just because they are GRREDY SQUIRRELS… Data Cebters STEAL HUMAN IP for corporate and military use. THEFT OF LAND gave their wealth, now theft of IDEAS.
Earlier this day, we did workshop in front of the entire school in Bloemfontein and these learners humped into is in the City Center and asked if I could teach them some steps .WHEN YOU HAVE-GIVE- We come from abundance, but copy their scarcity mindset &want what we DONT NEED.
South Africans have been taught to hate themselves for so many years that we don’t even know how deep that hate is. All of our struggles are deeply connected to the pains of our Past and our Denil’s to address that past. WE HAVE TO FACE IT IN ORDER TO HEAL.
Hip Hop Education has done very little to examine THE POWER OF DANCE as a healing modality. The power of frequency and collective building within crews to solve problems. These are obvious powers of dance that Hip Hop Education, which has mostly focused on corporate rap analysis.
I miss the sunshine already … cause it’s not just the sunshine, but the hearts and humanity that I miss … Concrete Apostles, I hope the Outdoor Raw sessions are going well. Hopefully I’m healed when I get back and can join the circles …
Whenever I am injured, I wallow in healthier days of dance … today is one of those days. I have a badly injured shoulder for weeks now and just can’t round the corner on it this time … the cold north is not helping either … I wanna dance …
Sometimes the music just takes you away and everything around you disappears. You freestyle to the music till it plays you as an instrument. Norway was cold and early morning talks and demos demanded connecting to the sounds and letting go of the cold reality & travel inside.
Sometimes when you are in the flow and doing what you love, you don’t have time to worry about what others think and say. One could say that you are singular minded and only afterwards realize that not everyone was in the flow. Truth is that all you can change, is yourself …
It is the erasure of Our memory, of Our stories, Our Ancestry that is causing the lack of value of so-called coloured & African life in Cape Town. It’s why we turn on each other first and why it’s so easy for our youth to kill each other. WE WERE & ARE TAUGHT TO HATE OURSELVES…
The violence of both GBV and Gangsterism is an unaddressed legacy of our history as a people. YOU CAN’T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE ANGER THAT BIRTHED IT … we know how, they don’t want to help us heal because it won’t benefit them …
B-boy demos in the mid 1990’s is how Breaking spread to different communities. We were naive about sponsorship & too happy for free clothes, when we exposed their products to our communities, while very little returned to our communities. The duality of life.
Dance is a Language of Healing. We were told to speak properly or keep quiet. We were oppressed and carried deep intergenerational trauma embedded in our bodies. Dance helped vent the anger of being silenced. Dance gave support, like Mikey is encouraging me, directing me, CREW
I remember this day, because we were not allowed to enter the hall and just hosted the workshop and jam session outside the civic. Fabian had a way of reminding me that WE ALWAYS MADE A PLAN … Hip Hop really needs nothing more than the willingness to DO. May You RestInPeace Bra
