Apollo's Music [Track02]


“Apollo’s Music” opens with a correlation and combination of sight and sound. “Lyrical spectacles” is talking about seeing words, i.e. “Cillia can see,” which means the hairs in-side your ears now have vision (e.g. you are listening to music that will help you see a different worldveiw/philosophy).

The hook is suppose to be a funny way of saying that most music, although not Apollo’s, is so stupid it prevents us from envisioning our (economic) potential. The second verse is making an egotistic statement about my ability and commitment as a real artist. While the third and second verses challenge the established hip-hop ideology after demonstrating an abstract but definitive use of word play which presents an aura of condescension.

Lyrics:

Round One, this the irrevocable lyrical wrecking ball 
(bass hits) I'm wreck'n ya'll
Impeccably incredible lyrical specticals, 
but only for your collea, like blow'n up your retina
Dynamite, the swag is flexible, diatribe, and dine on intellect
spectacular in the aperture, oh check it ya'll, cilia can see
Despicable vernacular, a killer on the beat, 
I'm dracula in heat, suck'n fuck'n everything.
Inception is irreparable and change'n how you think
"A treat to justice anywhere A treat to justice everything"
A treat to justice, what's this, communist Russia? 
No it's America, for money over character
Show's at the Gardens, though Apollo starve'n 
Guarded markets and banks get a pardon 

[Chorus]
What? What the problem? I already got your money
Pay no taxes, operate with impunity
and transfer my negative externalities onto the public
Call me your friend, the multi-national corporation

[Most music is stupid and inhibit us 
with frivolous tricks of wealth
we're kick'n ourselves, 
we're all get'n fucked, beat up in the butt
teethed on the nuts, 
gett'n punched in the cunt]  

Invested in your head, now inception in effect
Mediocre movies and music from groupies
got me die'n to defy'um diatribe the design
the idolized get analyzed, no lionized guise
bitch, who you fuck'n with, you better use oven mitts
I'm hotter then Auschwitz, sick and nauseous
Outta my caucus, or I'm take'n ya hostage
Where's broadway? The arts and the artisans?
We all need art again, like the heart of Atriums
So my concertos R.O.C. the rare flow, got my taro
I'm the future, ergo
Came to rock it, I am the profit, with Egyptian lockets
that'll eclipse your spot kid
No more Mandy, ya'll sweet as candy and
sipp'n pop rocks in a fun dip shanty.

[Chorus]
[Most music is stupid and inhibit us 
with frivolous tricks of wealth
we're kick'n ourselves, 
we're all get'n fucked, beat up in the butt
teethed on the nuts, 
gett'n punched in the cunt] x2  


Burst from monotony, rehearsed mythology
in reverse psychology, rock urban colonies
God's Flow, Apollo, Aristotle model
Dionysus follow, Aphrodite swallow
Sorry Hephaestus but I rep this decadence
my ever present, effervescent, eloquent elements
is evidence, I'm heaven sent, and eminent elephant
Consume the room, embue and loom
revit, vroom, vroom, take off and zoom
never use autotune for kiddies in the cabbage patch
this savage rap, I ravage tracks on monster rosters
that fall like goliath did, keep on try'n kid
I'm fly'n in and blind'n them leviathans
ocular shockers, with oppera banoculars
or popular doctors,
no methadone, I'm hella stoned with
with stethoscope megaphones
no metronome, I'm wreck'n flows.

[Chorus] x2

Love Wins! Hip-Hop, History, and the Occupy Wall Street Movement!

MLK Memorial in Washington  There are many individuals today who are quick to criticize hard-working, honest Americans like Russel Simmons; calling him a hypocrite for supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement--while owning a credit card company. Well think about this; Thomas Jefferson is seen as the quintessential patriot saying “all people were created equal” but owned a plantation full of slaves. The important thing to focus on here is that both Jefferson and Simmons are talking about the functionality of the system. They are saying that if we put the right policies into effect, it won’t matter how much money “I” make because it will be redistributed through taxes, for the benefit of EVERYONE! (In Jefferson's case, it’d be illegal to own slaves) ...And, since taxes are not currently redistributing the national wealth properly, “I’m gonna give (my money) away, anyways!” (Although, Jefferson never freed his slaves.) Still, like Russell says, his credit card company “don’t ru

Apollo vs. Dionysus (The Dichotomy Explained)

Image
Apollonian and Dionysian is a literary, philosophical, and/or psychological concept that represents the figurative dichotomy between Apollo and Dionysus in Greek Mythology. Apollonian thought is concerned with logic, rationality, perfection, art, beauty, clarity, self-control, humanity, and creation. While Dionysian is prone to excess, instinct, chaos, intoxication, destruction, passion, nature, the irrational, and the illogical. Friedrick Nietzsche expands upon this concept in The Birth of Tragedy where the hero and main protagonist of the drama tries to make order (Apollonian) out of his unfair and chaotic (Dionysus) fate. Apollo’s Music and Dionysus Rhythm represent the Apollonian and Dionysian forces. Apollo’s Music is an introduction of content and an overly chauvinistic style of lyricism that displays an eclectic vocabulary that would take a dictionary or years of education to fully grasp in meaning. And Dionysus Rhythm is designed to evoke an energetic relateability while be

Mind Control [Track 13]

Image
Edulution: 13 Mind Control by Lyceum Recordz "None are more helplessly enslaved than those who faslely believe they are free." - Johann Wolfgang Goethe  Mind Control picks up where The Rebirth of Hope left off. The intro sets the stage for the song's intensity and creates an allure that the listener is not going to necessarily like what s/he hears, but it is necessary to recognize because people are playing with your mind like it is a Nintendo game. The use of the word 'Nintendo' here is suppose to be as an inter-connecting reference to " Puss & Cush (Nintendo)."  The first verse touches on the reality of conspicuous consumption, how it is promoted by the corporation, and then continues to be perpetuated by mass conformity.  This pursuit for material wealth has us to the point of having trash heaps which leach methane gas.  The second verse is a whole mess of knowledge and information crammed into 16 bars!  Pluralistic Ignorance  i
