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.

Wise Intelligent's Mother's Day Message 2011

MOTHERS: take a moment to study what the term implies, infers and suggests. Such a study would heighten your awareness of this current movement to "liberate" you from everything that defines MOTHERHOOD, SISTERHOOD and WOMANHOOD all together. Being a MOTHER (and all that that is) and a WOMAN is not something you need to be "LIBERATED" or freed from. Hope you understand me.

Wise Intelligent's CLASSIC Mother's Day Tribute Song "Passing tha Time" Prod. by Masada

Passing tha Time is Wise Intelligent's heartfelt tribute to his mom off the "Wise Intelligent Iz...The Talented Timothy Taylor" album released in 2007. This is one of the most honest and emotional songs that Wise has ever recorded. The track was produced by super producer Masada and it provides the perfect foundation for Wise to speak from the heart. If this song doesn't touch you...you must have a hole in your soul...

Wise Intelligent on the set of the Illuminati Video Shoot in Trenton on Saturday March 26th Directed by Jimmy Giambrone!

NEW Wise Intelligent interview with Brother Jesse Muhammad

(Wise Intelligent served as the lead MC for the pioneering Hip Hop group Poor Righteous Teacher. He recently dropped a new album and has been consistently involved in community activism. I recently went one-on-one with him.)


Brother Jesse Muhammad (BJ): For the generation that may not know about you and the legendary group, Poor Righteous Teachers, please share a little background about yourself. How did you get started in music? How was the group Poor Righteous Teachers formed and what foundation did the group lay for those who are on the scene today?

Wise Intelligent (WI): My beginnings in music – Hip Hop music in particular, began when I sat down for a minute after being released from Mercer County Youth Detention Center, being pushed out of school by a principal that believed the Nation of God’s & Earth’s was a gang, and sobering up from all the weed we were smoking. This was from 13 to 17. I wrote my first professional rhyme when I was 15. I later titled it Shakiyla and it ended up on Poor Righteous Teachers 1990 debut album – Holy Intellect. I was first in a duo with a brother named God Father (GF for short). That didn’t go too well, he and Culture (who was making all the beats and DJing) had a couple irreconcilable differences if you will. Culture Freedom and I were like brothers since we were 11 and 12 and naturally, we moved on. Later we formed Poor Righteous Teachers.

We began recording songs, brought in a DJ named Divine, and later Father Shaheed. We made tapes at cultures spot on the 3rd floor of the 118 building in Donnelley Holmes low income housing projects in the North side of Trenton, New Jersey. I lived in the 132nd building, apt 3C. I don’t mean to be long winded but to answer the three questions in this one requires a little wind (lol). We were typical urban youth from the projects – talking “broken English and drug selling ” to quote KRS-ONE. However, we gave up much of that world, not necessarily to do music – but to try and be gods…really! Our brothers from other mothers, we would never give up – we were them and they were us and many of them made their lives in the world. When Culture felt we were ready he said “yo we need to go to the studio.” He arranged a battle between me and producer/rapper Tony D. Culture which was strategic…very!

BJ: What is your analysis of the state of Hip-Hop? Do you think the culture has been dismantled? Do you think it is fair to compare this era of artists with the time period when Poor Righteous Teachers was on the scene? How have you been able to protect your image despite the corporate machine that tears so many down?

WI: No, I would not say that “the culture has been dismantled.” However, I will say that the culture as presented in mainstream mediums has mangled public opinion of Hip Hop culture.

As far as comparing this era of artists with the era of PRT, I think it’s a fair comparison when we are fair. What I mean is, today we have many artists propagating culture, knowledge of self and consciousness just as in the era of X Clan and Brand Nubian. When we are not fair, we allow what’s playing on mainstream radio, video and internet networks to become our interpretation of what hip hop is or is not doing, and that’s an unfair assessment of the reality.




We cannot judge Hip Hop based on what Jimmy Lovine, Lyor Cohen or any other major label exec has decided to prop up as the representation of Hip Hop culture. In the event that the rosters and playlists at major record companies and radio/video stations were playing 50 Cent, Dead Prez, Lil Wayne, Immortal Technique, Nikki Minaj, Saroc, Jay Z and Djezuz Djonez then we can talk about what Hip Hop is in relationship to its mainstream propagation. As far as my image goes…I am who I am, Djezuz Djonez “…the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).


BJ: Not only do you have a legacy of rocking the mic, but you've always been actively involved in social justice and community empowerment. Why have you always married activism with your music? What issues are you closely watching right now and involved in?

WI: Well, for me ACTIVISM is the most important element of the Hip Hop epistemology if you will. It was the activism of Afrika Bambaata that mobilized urban youth away from gangs and violent expressions of self-hatred into the elemental expressions of Hip Hop culture, love, peace, unity and having fun. He motivated them toward positive attitudes and lifestyles and away from death, destruction and mayhem. Therefore, activism is the source of power from which Hip Hop has been disconnected. Today, much of my focus is on efficiently building an arc sufficient enough to provide the proper spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional nourishment as well as psychosocial development for a larger family.

BJ: In December, you dropped a new album "The UnConkable Djezuz Djonez." Break down the title. Why did you decide to release this album at this time? What is this album bringing that you think is missing from Hip-Hop right now?

WI: Djezuz Djonez is like water in a rock so to speak. It’s like a rose growing out of the concrete in the middle of the projects. It’s godly healing power possessed by a poor ghetto kid that society has given up on, and in fact has condemned to a life of concentrated poverty, apartheid schooling and mediocrity – from which he emerges and ascends to redeem his people. You know, a black kid with power that can actually be used to help himself and his people unlike powerful black characters in the Green Mile, Bagger Vance, etc., who could only use their powers – it seemed – to help white folk, who hated them! (lol). With this album, I wanted to again show that being “CONSCIOUS” IS NOT a bad thing!



When, and how did “conscious” become a bad word? But, if someone calls you “gangster” or “hood” or “pimpin” that’s acceptable? I embrace my consciousness, I love it! This album demonstrates how black people in any ghetto America – contrary to popular belief - are not sex-crazed, drug addicted, gangbanging, or feeble-minded imbeciles! The work I do is to directly challenge mainstream perceptions of both the black and hip hop communities. I mean, we like tricking out an old Chevy, playing Hip Hop loud (no other way to play it), kickin it on the BLVD with our “homies”, and spittin rhymes as well as studying, going to school, taking our mothers and elders to the market, and raising our babies properly. Conveying that, in part, is my aim.

BJ: Over the last several years, we've watched the word "Illuminati" used in the same sentence with hip hop artists. Why do you think that is? Is it a publicity stunt by some artists?

WI: Well Hip Hop covers everything from politics, crime, sex, love, hate, religion, health the streets, race, etc. The Illuminati, can only be spoken of by a mainstream rapper if he is glorifying it in some way that demonizes himself, Hip Hop and the Black community. Other than that he can’t say nothing! Suppose a mainstream rapper in heavy rotation spoke of the Illuminati in terms of massive medical experiments being performed on predominantly non-white people in “Third World” countries without any regulations or watchdog groups to check such genocidal practices by major pharmaceutical companies? Suppose the quote on Jay Z’s shirt was not from the self-proclaimed devil, drug abuser, bisexual rich boy Aleister Crowley, but rather from Steve Cokely? Would he have been allowed to go that route with his message? I don’t think so. Publicity stunt or not, it has allowed us to open the conversation around the real causers of this world’s immiseration. I recently released another single from "The UnConKable Djezuz Djonez" entitled, "Illuminati" produced by Masada. My aim with the record is to help refocus the community to look at what's going on right in our daily lives and what we can do to move forward and upward. You can listen to the song and read the lyrics right here:

http://inthehereafter.blogspot.com/2011/02/wise-intelligents-illuminati-lyrics.html

BJ: You will be releasing your first book this year, “3/5th An MC: The Manufacturing of A Dumb Down Rapper.” What inspired you to write it and what do you hope to accomplish with it?

WI: The inspiration for the book was my sons. Looking at them made me realize that they are the reason I was born. The book is for them and their peers and the peers of their children’s children. The book documents what created, and maintains ghettoes, gang, prison and drug culture in Black communities across the country with Hip Hop as the narrator. The book says, Hip Hop is not the root cause of the urban decadence and neither is the Black community. I felt a need to give them a point of reference for why I rhyme about what I rhyme about, what Hip Hop was, is and can be. My hope is that the book helps black youth find their courage and go forward.

BJ: Thank you brother!
