Mistah Rapsey // Music is the Weapon Vol.
I put this mixtape together a couple summers ago during a little break I had from my travels. I didn’t have any access to the internet so I was only able to sample what I had in my library and I had to mix it using a shitty program but I think it resulted in a raw sounding mixtape filled with more knowledge than a little bit!

El Seed | This is Just a Phrase in Arabic | Los Angeles
A Justin Mashouf video.
A small social experiment, ‘This is just a phrase in Arabic’ tests the prejudice of the viewer. What do Arabic language and Arabic letters represent in North American mainstream culture? Are these letters strange and obscure, conjuring pictures of burning buildings and irrational extremists? This is a commentary on the fanfare surrounding Arabs, Persians, and Muslims in general. This experiment aims to measure how a simple, innocent phrase in Arabic is perceived through the lens of ordinary North Americans exposed to a stream of unconscious prejudice and derogatory stereotyping.
I LOVE Arabic script. I reblogged something with Kufic the other day, and I know there are other specific kinds that I don’t really remember without a prompt. I don’t know what it is but this hits my aesthetic sensibilities in the best possible way. I love swooping lines and repetition and the idea behind Arabic art being mostly composed of writing and vegetation and patterns.
I hate that anything Arabic is still seen as so other. I hate society.
This guy is HOT.

The Narcicyst // Fly Over Egypt
My brother dropped this yesterday to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Egyptian revolution. Check it out and spread this (r)evolutionary music.
“More Power to the People
Point out your brothers evils.
Give your sister a hand, although she doesn’t need you…
See Your Flaws when you wake up, they are nothing to sleep through…
and all the money in the world might keep you warm and feed you..”- Narcy

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi // Black ft. Norah Jones
All the songs featuring Norah Jones on ROME are worth putting into heavy rotation.
“We touched the walls of the city streets and
Dead ends plain, sadly showed us our ways
Of never asking why..”- Norah Jones
A riding song…fitting for my mood

And this is where I’m from! “Five, One, Fo”! Montreal !!! My boy from the SiftedBeats crew introduced me to Boy6lu. I heard to some of his other stuff, I think he’s a real one.
