Just Thinking

What to blog about today? First off I can't even bring myself to discuss this. I am completely and utterly speechless. So I will move on, because I just can't talk about it, but I sure will be making my rounds to read what the blogsphere is discussing regarding it, blogs have been hot since Sunday, but many bloggers keep a M-F schedule, so today should be very interesting, racist comments and all. The sad thing is I am almost sure MORE of this will come and probably much worse. Oh America...

I guess its fitting, because after all it is Monday. Mondays are not my friend, they put a complete and total stop to my shiftlessness. Blogging has infiltrated my empty thoughts. I often find myself thinking total utterly useless and completely empty thoughts. You know thoughts that have absolutely NO nutritional value. Actually not all things with no nutritional value are bad. A few things come to mind that I think are completely ok with no nutrients like alcohol (especially Vodka), sugar, sugary alcoholic drinks. Anyway

When I was back home driving in my truck (actually its not a truck its a SUV, but I hate using SUV) that cost me the price of one T pass to fill up. Gas price gotta love 'em right. Well anyway I was driving listening to Jay Z's Kingdom Come, look I don't know why but I was. Anyway the hook goes like this

I will be... King of New York
I will be... New York
Not only NYC I'm hip hop's savior
So after this flow you might owe me a favor

When Kingdom Come, You ready?
When Kingdom Come, Uh-Huh
Not only NYC I'm hip hop's savior
So after this flow you might owe me a favor

So this is where my empty thought came in. My thinking was if Jay-Z is truly indeed hip hop's savior what would that mean in the context of the Bible. If he is the savior of hip-hop, that would mean that Biggie was John the Baptist. I mean really think about it, if you know your Bible or went to Vacation Bible School for a few summers you know that everyone was on John the Baptist's jock. Can I say that? Anyway you get the picture. Many thought him to be the Messiah. The people loved JB and they couldn't get enough of him and depending on what religious scholar you talk to that that popularity lead to his death, well that and the prophecy. Anyway, I mean really think about it JB talked about there is one greater than me. Now of course Biggie never said that about HOV, but as far as history goes Jay Z will die being perhaps the greatest rapper alive or at the least leave a strong argument as to why he should be. I won't go through all the biblical similarities the two have with JB and JC I'm just saying think about it.

I guess that would leave Damon Dash to be Judas, in a much simpler form. I mean really there was a radical turn with the split from the Roc. I mean he didn't kill him but I'm not really trying to make a verse to verse comparison between Jay and JC. I was just thinking empty thoughts. Then after I had it I thought I should blog that and see what the world thinks. *lol*

I mean maybe this thought does have some nutritional value. I often think about hip hop (not the commercial stuff) has this religious influence. I think that because of the black church's influence in the black community. There's a course at my Alma mater about hip hop and the church, if I was still an undergrad I would take it, because just sounds really interesting. I should see if I can audit the class when I get back to the H.

Other than that this Monday I'm not really too inspired to chat about much. I spent a lazy weekend catching up on house work and sleep, and to be honest I could use more time. Oh Monday why do you come SO SOON!?!

Be EZ,
