WISE INTELLIGENT...THE GARVEY SCHOOL FLOODED AND NEEDS YOUR HELP TODAY!

INFORMING the HIP-HOP COMMUNITY

THE GARVEY SCHOOL/EGUN OMODE SHULE NEEDS YOUR HELP TODAY!

by Trenton Finest on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 3:49pm

Peace and blessings,

As Principal of The Garvey School/Egun Omode Shule, a small, private African-centered school in Trenton, NJ, I am writing to ask for your assistance in these times of need. Hurricane Irene made its way through Trenton and caused severe damage to our institution. Over 4 feet of water entered the basement from front to back, destroyed our oil tank, water heater, tables, chairs, supplies, toilets, fixtures, rugs, tile, etc. Attached are some before and after pictures of our basement. At this point, everything is up in the air-awaiting insurance claims, the city inspectors, FEMA (wow, never thought we would be in line waiting for a FEMA handout). Most importantly, until the insurance claims can be filed (who knows how long that will take), we need to replace our water heater. The city inspectors will not allow our school to reopen without hot water and a professional hazmat cleanup of the basement, which consists of oil and sewage waste.

We are asking for your assistance. We need monetary donations to help us purchase these items NOW. We estimate the immediate costs at $2500, which we have raised $500 so far. The daycare children that utilized the basement have not been in school all week which has caused all types of scheduling problems for their parents. In addition, the school year is scheduled to begin in a week and insurance adjusters may be weeks away from coming to our location.

Payments can be made in any form, payable to: The Garvey School, 102 Taylor St., Trenton, NJ 08638.

You can make payments to our Paypal account as well...Go to our main website and click on the DONATION BUTTON at the bottom of the page

http://www.thegarveyschool.org

We thank you for your time and concern on this matter. If you are unable to donate monetary, we ask for your prayers in this time of crisis.

Thank you,

Baye Kemit, Ed.M

It's NO LONGER Smart to be DUMB!

INTELLIGENTNEWZNET..."What To The Slave Is The 4th Of July?" by FREDERICK DOUGLASS SPEECH, 1852

"What To The Slave Is The 4th Of July?"
FREDERICK DOUGLASS SPEECH, 1852


Independence Day Speech at Rochester, 1852




Fellow citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?

Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions! Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold that a nation's sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation's jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? I am not that man. In a case like that the dumb might eloquently speak and the "lame man leap as an hart."

But such is not the state of the case. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence bequeathed by your fathers is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me by asking me to speak today? If so, there is a parallel to your conduct. And let me warn that it is dangerous to copy the example of nation whose crimes, towering up to heaven, were thrown down by the breath of the Almighty, burying that nation in irrevocable ruin! I can today take up the plaintive lament of a peeled and woe-smitten people.

"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yea! We wept when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there, they that carried us away captive, required of us a song; and they who wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth."

Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions! Whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, today, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorry this day, "may my right hand cleave to the roof of my mouth"! To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then, fellow citizens, is American slavery. I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view. Standing there identified with the American bondman, making his wrongs mine. I do not hesitate to declare with all my soul that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July! Whether we turn to the declarations of the past or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of liberty which is fettered, in the name of the Constitution and the Bible which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery-the great sin and shame of America! "I will not equivocate, I will not excuse"; I will use the severest language I can command; and yet not one word shall escape me that any man, whose judgment is not blinded by prejudice, shall not confess to be right and just....

For the present, it is enough to affirm the equal manhood of the Negro race. Is it not as astonishing that, while we are plowing, planting, and reaping, using all kinds of mechanical tools, erecting houses, constructing bridges, building ships, working in metals of brass, iron, copper, and secretaries, having among us lawyers doctors, ministers, poets, authors, editors, orators, and teachers; and that, while we are engaged in all manner of enterprises common to other men, digging gold in California, capturing the whale in the Pacific, feeding sheep and cattle on the hillside, living, moving, acting, thinking, planning, living in families as husbands, wives, and children, and above all, confessing and worshiping the Christian's God, and looking hopefully for life and immortality beyond the grave, we are called upon to prove that we are men!...

UndergroudSpiritualGame Produced by Bigg Scott
http://soundcloud.com/wiseintelligent/wise-intelligent

I am the truth, I’m the light, I’m the way shit used to be before you sold out…
No doubt, I’m clear bout who I am…
don’t wanna be anyone else on the planet but Djezuz
oh he’s just, literally out of his right mind…

I’m quite fine, I write rhymes for my hood from a heavenly high place…
Think twice before steppin to my face, by God’s grace, I’ll dead them
Behead him, for the blaspheme, LIARRRRRRR, it isn’t just hot its FIRRRREEE
My ughhhhh, style does…more in a verse than most spit…on a whole disc

Nig*gas know this, but ask them…they’ll LIE, falsify my original freshness…
They’ll TRYYYY, but like a baptized baby God blessed this, old wine…
In a new skin, introducing, thee UnConKable, Djeez Djonez
Hip Hop don’t stop Keep on, Second Coming gottem runnin get gone…

PEACE, Assalamu alaikum shalom, oh this nig*a so not Rome…
Never do what the Romans do….
even if Caligula offering a nig*a 50 million, 10 women and a room with a view
persecuted for the truth I spew, Hebrews don’t get it confused
these dudes lack clues I’m Him…WHO YOU?


You know Djezuz, I really don’t know who you are anymore
I mean…all this time that we’ve been together and I thought I knew you
What I’m sayin is you’re a good man and all, and I really do love you
I just don’t understand how you can be so inconsiderate of my feelings
You write songs about loving, respecting and protecting women
But I don’t think you’ve ever honestly loved any of the sisters you’ve called yours Enough to convince them that you were ever theirs as much as they were yours


VS 2
They got me…all fucked up…all confused, all twisted…
Cause I gotta lotta black folk listening…government got me blacklisted,
I’m in my whipper whippin, BlackCherry Manischewitz I’m sippin…
I’m gifted, the present; the futures investment…

Wait a minute let me shine my halo…
Some peddle yayo, honest it’s not me
If I never got knowledge and acknowledged God the Father
Would I pitch dope, I don’t know prolly

That’s how this ghetto got we, this deprivations makin
A nig*a sell his soul to Satan, escaping poverty’s concentration…
Neurotoxins plaguing the hood and the way black babies in the hood behaving…
Can’t save’em, actin all savage, this is what happens when your ruled by cavemen…

Never mind what I am sayin, find a bride while my new shit playin…
Cut her eye’s over here she’s taken, father of general civilization…
Classes, the masses from Jerusalem to Nazareth
Know and understand I know what the math is

Never let em get a hold of my black ass…
Locked up in the Garden state, not quite Gethsemane
Caligula sending me threats that he bet he’ll erase my memory
Before Timothy Ima be Djezuz


It’s like “spiritual game” or something? No different in many ways than the games ran on Sisters by brothers of a lesser understanding, which actually makes it worse I don’t know what’s what and considering the other sisters in your life I don’t know Who’s who? I mean…am I your queen? Is she your queen? Do you love her more or less than I? Why do you not respond to my complaints, am I not worthy of some clarity? How can you come into my life for a season and disappear for two? You're NOT even listenin Djezuz...

VS 3
Should I dumb my oratory down to a corner story now…
To afford a better lifestyle, never that I’ll lay my life down…
For the children of the promise like right now
shoot… Break enter and loot this system,

for everything taken from the innocent…
impenitent, rich slave makers of the poor remember when
you refused to give water to the thirsty, New Jerusalem
better known as Jersey, never gave one fuck
bout a black child stuck in legislated subhuman tough luck
misinterpreted tough luck, like history experience, misery experienced

wasn't the result of how you always hated us?
Segregated plus, isolated us Integrationist
brown vs the board was a double edged sword In the greater sense,
we were greater when, we were teaching our own seeds
Providing our own needs, community a virtual all black wall street
When your blueprint that nig*a call me, that’s all she wrote..

So that’s all I’m writin now, I’m doin my mama proud,
Espousing…Low income housing…underground spiritual game…
Never wonder bout a lyrical flame, I’m hot
I’m the only muthafuckin hope Hip Hop got….
Shiiiiiiit, I ain’t who you thought I am…damn!

Just like I thought…no response, no reply
I’m right here Djezuz, and I have always been
Matter fact we’re right here, and we’ve always been
Not that I’m not just speaking for myself alone, I’m speaking for US
The women in your life who have always loved you and always will
Can we get half the integrity and commitment you give to the calling?
Can we be loved in the same measure in which you love this work?
Respectfully Submitted: ME...

NEW Wise Intelligent FINAL CALL INTERVIEW JUNE 2011!

Wise Intelligent discusses 'The Manufacturing of a Dumbed Down Rapper'
By FinalCall.com News
Updated Jun 12, 2011 - 10:07:34 PM


Known for his rapid fire, mind-bending lyrics, Wise Intelligent, the most visible member of The Poor Righteous Teachers, the pioneering pro-Black conscious rap group from Trenton, NJ, has continued to work as a mentor, social and political commentator, artist and now author. In honor of June being Black Music Month, he shared some of his thoughts with The Final Call's Ashahed M. Muhammad.

FinalCall.com (FC:) Many people refer to the “Golden Age” of Hip Hop as an era when there were conscious songs permeating the airwaves. It is generally believed that the era is long gone and it'll never be like that again. Perhaps we will never get back to a time where socially and politically conscious artists dominate the airwaves. In a time when Hip Hop artists still impact and shape minds, what are your thoughts?

Wise Intelligent (WI:) I think it's just a gross misconception of Hip Hop from what Hip Hop is in a broader sense. I think that we're allowing mainstream mediums through which corporations propagate a particular brand of Hip Hop. We're allowing that medium to interpret for us what Hip Hop is or isn't. I think that's where we fall short of understanding.

It's a plethora of MCs young and old who are still on the front lines of social and political relevant conscious music; it's just that mainstream media is not allowing a particular brand of Hip Hop because they only want to propagate one ideal. And we have this ideal that those ten MC's that we hear in every rotation in mainstream mediums are what Hip Hop is. So if it's not in the mainstream it's apparently not in the bloodstream for a lot of people because they are allowing mainstream media to dictate what Hip Hop is or isn't for them. But we're still right here. MC's are still touring, still putting out records and a lot of people don't want to get back to that era especially corporate people and for social, economic and political reasons also. Basically, more so political reasons. So I say that it's a myth that we are not going to get back to that era. For me it's not a matter of getting back to that era. It's a matter of becoming aware of the fact that that era hasn't left us. It's still here.

FC: When you were making songs in 1990 on the album “Holy Intellect” and then in 1991 with “Pure Poverty” as a follow-up, there was an ideological underpinning acting as a catalyst for your lyrical content. What was it primarily that caused you to inject that kind of information into your songs? Books, speeches, the general atmosphere in the community, what was it?

WI: It was a conglomerate of a lot of things that you listed. The circumstances, you know living in a state of poverty, living in an environment where poverty is concentrated into small areas and the environment is over populated with poor people. Growing up in an environment where the High School had a 71 percent and still has a 71 percent student poverty rate. These things exacerbate problems and small problems become major problems in such an environment. Then you have the influx of drugs, guns, things of that nature and it just gets blown out of proportion. So that was one influence in my view but really what oriented me and basically gave me the ability to interpret myself in that struggle differently for a lot of us at the time was the Supreme Wisdom.

You know the 120 Lessons as we had come to call the Supreme Wisdom—it actually gave us focus. It caused me to study and made me think more critically. It made me not take things on face value. It made me study not just myself but my surroundings, my environment. I learned that to understand yourself is to understand others. You can't understand anyone else if you don't understand yourself. You have to have an understanding of yourself first and foremost. It's just like before you can love someone else, you have to be able to love yourself. And love for us is an elevation of understanding, so understanding of others is almost impossible if you don't have an understanding of who and what you are. The Supreme Wisdom kind of put me on that path of study of research, of not taking things on face value, of rethinking, relearning, and unlearning. That basically was the underpinning of our approach to Hip Hop.

FC: From what you are saying, the motivation wasn't solely to get money. So what was the main motivation?

WI: It was a lot of things but for the most part it was a love for music, Black music in general. Whether it was a soul singer, a blues musician or a jazz musician, first and foremost is the love for the music; love of Black music.

FC: What are some of the primary influences of Black music you would say that really guided you?

WI: There's many Blues artists, Howlin' Wolf, Josh Swank, we can go back to Muddy Waters. Of course there's Billy Holiday and just moving right up through the years, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield.

FC: More soulful sounds definitely … I think back on that … there's definitely a soulful sound in your expression.

WI: Also it was a lot of reggae artists like eek A Mouse, Yellowman, just all over the Black music spectrum as far and as wide as it stretches I was into everything. As far as money, was money a motivation? Yes. Money is always a motivation. We didn't feel like our subject matter would block us and stop us from getting money and it didn't. It didn't stop Public Enemy from making money and selling millions of records. That was the difference.

Today it's like people would be like ‘that's career suicide for you to say something like that in a record.' Whereas when we were coming up, it wasn't career suicide because the number one rap in the medium was socially and politically conscious music. So we had KRS-One, Arrested Development put their record out and their record sold four million records. Public Enemy sold millions of records. It wasn't that conscious rap wasn't selling. It's just they wanted to stop propagating that particular brand of Hip Hop for reasons specified elsewhere like in my upcoming book.

FC: Tell us a little bit about the book.

WI: It's called ‘Three-fifths an MC: The Manufacturing of a Dumbed Down Rapper.” And the book goes in on how Hip Hop got this way. How did we get here and why are we here. I don't want to give away the whole book but the bare bones of the book is basically dealing with how the mainstream MC is not a self-made MC. The environment that he's embedded in is contributing to what he delivers.

FC: What motivated you to write a book like that? What do you want the person who picks it up and reads it to come away with?

WI: I want them to get an understanding of what Hip Hop is and what Hip Hop isn't. You know from a perspective from all of the debate and discussion about Hip Hop being responsible for prison culture and gang culture. Every time they talk about Hip Hop and the mainstream they're connecting Hip Hop to random acts of violence, negativity and things of that nature. What I want people to get from a book is that Hip Hop didn't cause these problems. It was gang banging and drug dealing before 1976. These things were occurring long before Hip Hop. So we really need to get to the root causes of these things.

I think that Hip Hop is a scapegoat, it's a soft target to deflect blame off of the real cause of the social ills that we face on a daily basis. So the book goes into those social ills and defines them. Like the prison culture, I go into that and I show how that came to be. I show how the gang banging and drug dealing came to be. I show how the Black community ended up in this dilapidated state in so many cities in the United States so Hip Hop didn't do this. And that's what I'm saying we need to stop blaming ourselves for what others have done and have done to us.
