Herbie Hancock - Palm Grease

Sunday Jazz Continues on a hot Sunday afternoon in Atlanta; we're "Chilling In The Lab"; we're  on some laid back type of stuff..

Broadcasting live from our remote outpost out here off of I-20 in Atlanta; away from all the chaos / confusion; Roger and Zapp mentioned it's "So Ruff / So Tuff"...

...out here baby!! even the old dude Mr. Cole told us about the Rat Race / Dog Eat Dog World; contradicting the Louis Armstrong track called What A Wonderful World…

…played earlier by Debb Moore on WCLK when she signed off; I’m reading the room / reading the signs, from Atlanta to Ukraine these folk are going off (tripping out / flipping out) in this world!

Worldwide? the drama unfurled, I needed a soundtrack to go with this peaceful vibe I'm on!

We’re checking out Herbie Hancock, with some help from The Headhunters playing Palm Grease...perfect!!! check the players and the track! once again it’s on!

• Drums – Mike Clark

What It Do? They Still Felt The Pressure (Part Four)

 What it do? me and my people still felt the pressure; I'm trying to relieve the pressure, catch me rolling down I-20 in Atlanta listening to Nina Simone on 91.9 WCLK.

Sonic therapy is provided, freedom? we still ride for it, next up was Herbie Hancock with People Music so Let The Music Play.

Sonic therapy provided,  like Barry White said!  also inspired by the quote "aint no stopping us now" like McFadden and Whitehead. but truth be told?  we're  dealing with folk who "ain't right"!!   they're out there waiting in the dark! 

We chose the light instead!  in this ATL traffic in a metaphor for life a  bruh dipped to the right instead of left! now benefits are reaped but being realistic? sometimes it's vice versa!! who'll curse ya? devils creeped. utilizing their atmosphere which is in the dark!!

The devil and his advocates tell you to close your eyes to the world they have everything under control but the drama soon unfurled so that strategy fails. Next level dramatics occur as some of my people felt the pressure! now the train of thought will veer off the rails. Next level mathematics? some still feel the pressure! that mind is usually sharp like a razor’s edge; but it seeks retribution. It’s mad, due to the ongoing pressure! that mind was sold out to interests like a corporation or an institution.

What it do? we still felt the pressure! as Saturday morning transitions into Saturday afternoon we’re going to sit back and relax. Oh yes! the train of thought is still rolling! the New Birth dream merchant or even a dream diplomat / ambassador will welcome us back! Oh yes! the train of thought is still rolling! now facts are not lost after these people get their minds right! What it do? we still felt the pressure but intuition is not missing, we’re still on our breakbeat scientific mission; we’re still out here trying to get our minds right!

Lee Morgan - Cornbread

Sunday Jazz Continues!! oh yes!! you know it's the proper timeframe!! this is how we do this!!

Sunday morning meetings / gatherings were beneficial!! knowledge was dropped, we act like we knew this..

Scorning / fearing / loathing is rebuked by these official breakbeat scientific principles!! let the music play..

Steering the mothership towards earth, with soul food for the masses, similar to the Sunday meal we just left so let the music play!!

Similar to the fried chicken, roast beef, collard greens and cornbread that was served!! filling!!

Now we're chilling out, listening to  Lee Morgan ‎with Cornbread!! check out the players and the track as we let you know how we're dealing!!

Check The Perspective: Life Is Hectic (Part Five)

 We’re coming through on a Thankful Thursday, of course it’s a blessing to be here!

Check the perspective, gratitude is shown by O-Zone but he’ll be the first one to tell you it’s rough out here!

That’s the word from old dude up in Louisville / Newburg every time he greeted someone, plus he said life is hectic!

Plus there was the word from another old dude up in Louisville / Newburg, Mr. Cole referred to the rat race / dog eat dog world;  that word? you had to respect it. 

Reflecting on it since this is also a Throwback Thursday; spotted Mitch McConnell gaslighting, I remembered his ways up in Jefferson County Kentucky. 

He needs to start his on gas and light company, he’s the epitome of a politician with hot air! somebody will see what I’m saying they’ll feel me!

Some know what the deal will be, life is hectic! today’s decisions soon led to frayed tomorrows.

Some know what the deal will be after they check the perspective; some things just illusions? now burdened with pains and sorrows. Somebody might feel me as I make plans to steal some moonlight so I can escape.. Escaping the polluted / metallic dust filled den aka the matrix, but am I caught up in it / trapped? is it too late?

Check the perspective, life is hectic! heard amen from the deacon’s corner plus per my HumpDay Extravaganza episode Herbie Hancock with the Brothers Johnson mentioned Everybody’s Broke.

Actually that’s true on so many levels as we try to get over the hump opposed by so many devils, we need to stay woke.
