Professor Griff - The Psychological Covert War on Hip Hop

This is where the covert war begins on a very subconscious level, in the spirit of a people who have been robbed and spoiled. Robbed of the classical spiritual teachings of our ancestors and spoiled by trading our god for the enemies wealth. More discussions about the soul are in my book The Meta-Physical God-Estry of the Soul of Hip Hop. These definitions have further altered the true meaning. In actual practice, modern psychology deals almost exclusively with physiology (brain chemistry, neurology, genetics) and the behavior of the biological organism (stimulus-response), completely disregarding and ignoring the mind (mans inner self, and more to the point, mans true and vital self). The dictionaries will sooner or later remove the concept of mind completely from the definition following the lead of official psychology as taught in western universities and colleges.

We want to raise the level of consciousness of the people to the degree where we can connect with like minded people around the globe to put in place an infrastructure to lay the bases for a new reality, intergrated but separate from thinking our hand picked leading blacks. e need a L.I.F.E curriculum, we need a GOD centered education.

Art is mind, and mind does not at all need to feel itself obligated to the community, to society, it may not, in my view, for the sake of its freedom, its nobility. An art that goes in unto the folk, which makes her own the needs of the crowd, of the little man, of small minds, arrives at wretchedness, and to make it her duty is the worst smallmindedness, and the murder of mind and spirit. And it is my conviction that mind, in its most audacious, unrestrained advance and researches, can, however unsuited to the masses, be certain in some indirect way to serve man in the long run.

-Excerpt from Thomas Manns Doctor Faustus

Chuck D for the vast levels of music history and facts. For the endless ability to see the value of notes that dont fit into a measure of time and corporate plan. Jason Orr for the discussions that push my warrior spirit to the end and then the scholar aspect of the souljah has to show and prove and offer its (Maat) balance and order. Earle Holder our political discussions kept me in the know about current events and gave me a degree of insight as to the future of Black people plight in America. Minister Paul Scott thanxz for keeping me abreast on the matter of hip hop as it relates to the African Diaspora. From No Warning Shot Fired, Khalid El-Hakim and the Black History 101 mobile museum Tasleem Taz El-Hakim and Omari King Wise Barksdale, your poetic lyrical vibrations mean a lot in the entire scheme of thingstrust me, they do. Rahssan Robinson, if I had a chance to present all of what you have given me, I would more than likely be on the enemys hit list. WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF FROM?

LIVING SACRIFICE

Romans 12:1 I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your rational (or intelligent) service

KJV: BIBLE

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Taking the lowest essence of what the culture has to offer and giving it maximum exposure
Black Dot, author of Hip Hop Decoded

I have often heard Professor Griff state that revolution is not an event, it is a process. This is such a profound statement because if revolution is a process, then we must have a form of evolution before revolution. We must evolve into the realization that this revolution that we speak about must take place on multiple planes simultaneously in order to reach our desired effect. We must have a physical, mental, and spiritual revolution. One without the other two is useless. In fact, the physical revolution that most of us are accustomed to staging should be the last one implemented.
