Love and Respect [Track 22]



This song represents a theme that is present in Lyceum Recordz and that is Love & Respect for women.

In this song, I am talking about the ideal girl for me. "She get me high, when i come by." Here, I am talking about how she makes me feel. I'm NOT saying that the girl for me literally gets me high all the time. Instead, I should feel high when I'm around her because her smile makes me wild. Naturally, that makes me want to be closer to her emotionally and sexually (and "make her body cry").

The first verse is about me meeting a girl I'm crazy about and deciding it would be okay if I "fell into her" and became closer. The second verse is me realizing I am in love with this girl because of the way she makes me feel (i.e. "butterflys in my stomach" and a "feel'n of heaven"). The third verse is implicitly stating that we got married and we work on our relationship everyday so we have no problems/frustrations.

The fourth verse explains why we love each other. I open her heart "like Jon of Arch and" make her see the good things in life; in-light of the pain and suffering. And she's the "girl on earth" that makes my cynical "world reverse" because when I'm with her "the sea of insanity that imprisons humanity" is mute compared to what I feel for her.
The EDULUTION ALBUM is available on BandCamp, iTunes. and Amazon mp3!

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
