Random Thoughts From A Brotha: Down Under By Joe Beck

Marcus Miller - SLIPPIN` INTO DARKNESS

Digital Crate Digging Continues....In conjunction to What I Listen To At Work....listening to WCLK 91.9 here in Atlanta today....heard Marcus Miller's version of War's Slipping Into Darkness....it was smoking hot!! 

...found this live version from the Jimi Festival over in Poland...a tribute to Jimi Hendrix..

....on this cut of course Marcus Miller is on bass......Alex Han - sax, Kris Bowers - keys, Maurice Brown - trumpet, Louis Cato - drums and Adam Agati - guitar...check it out!!

I Was Lounging...But Peace Wouldn't Be Still

I was chilling out.....lounging; its the aftermath...we're into 2012..the holiday season is over! 

How you feeling out there? please!! peace wouldn't be still..the arch nemesis is on the premises..plus corporations are price gouging....Republicans badgering..it's not the way I'm trying to deal!! chill with the treason...you won't get over!

Heard what was said..the empty promises...haters were told to stand down...abort operations!! this soldier is ready for battle!! like Iran enriching uranium sonic weapons are stashed in the armory! 

Haters were told to stand down...abort operations!! no weapons formed would work...why did they start with me? 

Tiger blood in my arteries? naw!! this is no Charlie Sheen mess!! even though we are winning! 

Tiger Woods style comebacks occur after we hit the reset button!! we went back to the beginning! 

Its tight in these hoods!! it's not Lob City like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin...but were lounging; please!! its not always about money...we've been broke! 

Peace wouldn't be still...theres no where to run or hide...there's always something...whatcha going through? who has the right goods and services? jokers were probably price gouging...trying to play us for a joke!

Sho you right per Barry White!!!  were paying the price; the good word is dropped along with this brand new funk! 

Were lounging..but peace wouldn't be still..bear witness to the next move we make; down here in the ATL getting crunk!

Not Stephen Hawking... but we studied the Dark Mystery of Time and Space...


Chalking things up to experience..Are You Experienced like Jimi Hendrix? pumped my brakes like Bendix...I was lounging..but now I'm back in the race....

Chilling Like A Villain...Laying In The Cut

Still laying in the cut...like dude said..I'm chilling like a villain...all along the watchtower..mentioned by Jimi Hendrix! 

Still praying!! the corrupt have this world in a choke hold!! they need to pump brakes like Bendix! 

How are some playing it? search Google, Wikipedia, or even the appendix for the definition! 

How are some playing it? while I was laying in the cut some act like they knew a bruh...will they do like John Boehner and impede progress? I question their intention!  


They see me keep on pushing like an Impression; Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield! 

Plus the others!! meanwhile were Transmitting Live..cold crushing!! brothas work it out like Willie Hutch.....coming through in the clutch..but some heard we were like Herman Cain...playing the field! 

Wasn't pimping like Ken or Little Ronnie and them!! cutting up a Dutch...drinking Kentucky brown liquor! 

Whats happening? we let the hustlers hustle and the players play; whats up with me they ask? ....go figure! 

I'm just chilling like a villain...I'm just laying in the cut; doing what I do! 

But of course I'm praying for the corrupt...Lord Help Lord Help!! I see how they're gonna do!

But I see what others are going through...some are searching for a hero...hoping that the Dark Knight Rises..

They were also chilling like a villain...laying in the cut...but they were waiting in the dark..soon subject to the authority..subject to surprises..

Low Key With It PT.5....Making Observations

Low key with it...just laying in the cut seeing what it do; I figured they would find something on Herman Cain...not just 9 9 9; I was making observations!

Some were corrupt with it..now I heard some are in pain like Iraqi war veteran in Occupy Oakland...some people just want to get open..some were just waiting in the dark.. like the Deele said they loved on two occasions!

Day and night; whats the deal? over in Europe..actually worldwide..they ain't right!! now resources and rations are low; some might get sued like Julius Erving...please!! whose out here swerving?  it ain't hard to tell like Nas mentioned!

Reality checks are cashed; at Occupy Atlanta police and protesters clashed...I was observing the scene; a bruh is broke but I still paid attention! 

Observing the scene; what was heard or seen? I was up in the Watchtower like Jimi Hendrix mentioned....checking out the battles on the front lines of spiritual warfare...I spotted the fatality; after one disrespects..even tried to get foul with me!!....I tried to tell some that this is a critical stage; but they don't hear me though! 

I fell through after the summer madness..I didn't pump brakes like Bendix..I came through with the drum; my main weapon in the ongoing spiritual warfare; but they dont fear me though! 

....Until they get hit upside the head with the sonic blackjack; some will try to get suicidal like Bernie Madoff's failed attempt.. then some will  recognize the pattern! 

Were everywhere with this!! but we play it off..low key with it...nobody was checking for us..as we put it down from Louisville / Newburg to Pluto and Mars; to even Saturn!

I pointed some in the right direction based on my observations! 

Hopefully they won't get caught up in unpleasant situations!

Unconventional Wisdom..

The economy made us break it down!! now focused on basic essentials.

What's up with me? trying to stay positive in a negative environment..I recognize what the potential is.

Unconventional wisdom is dropped!! might have to read between the lines.

Local? international? actually universal!! didn't need NASA to travel to the ISS!! traveling through the galaxies reading the signs.

Multi-dimensional!! hard for those reading me!! some will love..some will hate..firing me like Juan Williams? or fines and penalties were the proposal.

Whatcha been through? these days? I come equipped..there'll be no Wikileaks..with weapons at my disposal.

Steady bombardment of the enemy position is what I know these days and times!!

Whose with me? added support like Miami did Stackhouse..usually minding and tending..in the lab working on beats and rhymes!

Accused of war crimes like in Iraq? then some will say I'm like D Wade...the man of the hour.

What's really going on? bruised and scarred!! even a few burns from the fireshower.

Where am I these days? Up in the Watchtower like Jimi Hendrix talked about peeping game.

Watching out for the foul one that didn't pump brakes like Bendix!! said "don't blame the player"..blame the game.

Sending the message in the songs!!! after a prayer went up!! soon showered with blessings.

Through the passage? it'll be more than paranormal activity 2..miracles were performed!! so that's what I'm expecting.

Soon collecting my thoughts...selecting some at random....then on blogpsot or even blogster I'm posting them up.

Epiphanies were on the clearance rack for them and those!! like at today's Macy's One Day Sale...I'm letting them and those know whats up!
