These days I can't stop crying.

Different reasons balled into one. Overwhelming to say the least.

Good to meet another dälek fan on here! I love those guys, great music and even greater people. During the recording hiatus MC dälek recorded an occupy themed album under the name Iconaclass. Hard hitting lyrics and bears just as you would expect. Any dälek fan is sure to appreciate this album as well.

That 2-minute Cappadonna verse at the end has to be one of the greatest moments in rap history.

When that came out the CD was in the deck non stop. Many classics on that album. Agreed on Cappadonna killing it on that verse.

But my name is a reference to the Finnish army defeating the massive Russian army in WWII. I'm a Finnish American and that story airways inspired me.

BTW- I think Ghost put out a new album Tuesday. This conversation reminded me to go buy it. Good taking to you. Peace

I actually got a little teary eyed the first times I watched the video as well. Thanks for checking it out. There aren't many artists willing to make music with a strong political message anymore.

24. Imagine for one moment if you had a friend, a father, a brother that was killed.

Imagine.

Imagine your friend was not perfect and he was shot by a bullet and died. Imagine if your friend was chiked to death by law enforcement.

Would you for a moment walk away from your friend, your family, the person you loved?

Would you say that he/she deserved to die?


Those that want us to believe that Mr. Brown died for his life choices; Those that what us to believe that Eric Garner died for his life choices are removed from the humanity of losing a person they love via violent death.

When you lose a person you love via violence, the rules change.

with Erica, Emerald, Emory and Eric Garner Jr.

These young people are holding up so well in light of the events. I truly believe that the protests are helping them to keep their strength and composure. I do not want to see these protests disappear.

There needs to be, and will be, in my opinion, justice for Eric Garner and his family.

Everyday we see new forms of protest. Yesterday, the medical students & even their professors, on 70 campuses across the nation laid down on the floors of lobbies and sidewalks, many with their lab coats on. Protest will continue until someone in our government (Federal/State/Local) gets off the pot and does something about excessive force and brutality being dealt out to our citizens of color.

The attention span of the public seems to be so short.

Government better get off the pot soon, enough is enough.
