LiVe.LoVe.LiFe.

They say the love of money will crush your insides
it can lead you back and forth like the rushing of the tides.
What is important as we stroll this earth
questing for more is what I have done since birth.
Living in the present and being thankful for I do have
sometimes I feel like LeBron contemplating not being a Cav
The grass may look greener but what is the cost
Winter is leaving so so long Jack Frost
A new era is dawning and it is sparked by our generation
the knowledge of love and to not seek admiration
The inner monologue is the source of our inspiration
hopefully that chat will be cause for celebration.
The world seems unfair and those doing right get left behind
and sometimes empty feelings or regret we will find
but it is how we deal with adversity that determines who we are
not the house we live in or the make and model of our car.
It is time to find the cancers that dwell with in us
and cut those out of our life that put up the most fuss.
Because a little rejuvenation and close family ties
can lead us to the Higher Plane available in the sky.
LiVe.LoVe.LiFe.
Peace.

Charles Hamilton & B.o.B ‘Paperboy’

Charles Hamilton and B.o.B. ‘Paperboy’

First off, the beat to this track is SICK. It has some of that old school bounce to it like those ’90s classics.

We’ve been waiting for Charles Hamilton to drop some official music, and it seems that he is finally on his way. B.O.B. is a certified talent. Those of you not familiar need to check him out as well. Like I said before, definitely some good things happening in hip hop these days. This leads me to a few observations:

  1. Krunk may ACTUALLY be dead (sorry Lil’ Jon)
  2. It seems that Napster was a necessary evil, or savior, depending if you were an artist or just a consumer of music between 2000 & 2003. Without the diffusion of music through the internet, many of these very talented artists would have never been heard, which would have forced us to consume whatever bullsh*t the record labels try to push on us.
  3. The only gangster rap I want to hear at this point was probably made before 2003.
  4. I can appreciate artists who make quality music about real life thoughts and situations that I can relate to.

This is just how I feel right now.

Props to Nah Right

How To Respond To A Telemarketer

I have been going full bore of late. Biting off more than I can chew. Very typical.
I was getting a little nuts mentally, so I always try to balance things out somehow. One of my favorite mindless relaxers is Seinfeld. I have seen every ep like a billion times, but hadn’t watched it in a while.
The syndications don’t play in the UK. Most don’t even know what it is. Shame on them.
While I was doing some design work this weekend, I watched a shit ton of episodes on Justin TV. Figured I would share a funny moment with you all. This happens to all of us! LoL.
I also decided to take a little personal time today, so you only get two posts out of me.
You guys are still ONE though. I also watched Belly and Grandma’s Boy this weekend.

Common ‘Testify’ [88-Keys Remix]

Common ‘Testify’ [88-Keys Remix]

A few important things here.

1) I actually own the vest he is wearing. The first time I ever wore it, however, my buddy’s dog chewed a hole in the back. No worries. Patched it up, and well, I am actually looking at it right now and wore it last weekend. LOVE IT. 88 is a huge Lo head. I also heavily fuck with Ralph.

2) Common’s¬†Be has to be one of my favorite albums ever. ‘Testify’ was also dope to me.

3) Be on the lookout…this week…for an Higher Plane exclusive interview with Mr. 88-Keys himself.

The World is Large…Don’t Let It Pummel You

By Salvatore Hall

As the day becomes colder I am reminded of different times,

when my statistics meant more than my rhymes.
As I seek to find balance and strength overall
I feel that as I climb I continue to fall.
I can make something out of nothing and bring it to you
but when is it time for me to do what I want to do?
Through self-discovery I find the weakness of the flesh
and the majority is basketball shorts, mesh.
A society based off of materialistic and selfish behavior
It is time to see that money and possession is a shoddy savior.
I am looking to the world to show me the way and I think I am on the brink
because I will throw all of my effort and yes even the kitchen sink.
Like Pooh bBar lost in a pot of honey
we seek instant gratification and it usually requires money.
Positivity and fortitude is etched on my heart
I seek to contribute to this world and will gladly take my part.
Maturation and the ability to reason quickly seems harder as the years go by
Like a Smashing Pumpkin I say today is the greatest day
Even if you are up against a wall
You can drive the lane and never take a fall.
I pray for motivation and inspiration to succeed
and I have been giving more than I will ever need.
Stay strong as we get through this time in life
and stay positive through the failures and the strife.
I have the ability to hold one thought in my mind, and I am choosing positivity and a faith in my God. I feel that the time is now to seriously consider your passion in life. I am searching to fulfill mine because the counter looks grim. I want a life that I enjoy. I am willing to do the hard work but the message is clear. There are either those that lead or those that follow. Which are you?
I want to keep my thoughts brief as the day grows weary because I am left with much to ponder. I intend to follow my heart as best that I can and move further along in my quest for enlightenment. I want good things to happen in my life and I seek abundance. In order to do so I must keep my self-talk on my focus and look to hit adversity head on and take it to the goal line.
I wish you success and vibrant health as we all enter this change in seasons. “The world is large, don’t let it pummel you”(The Glove). These are true words. We are unique individuals that can accomplish any and everything. Please pray for me as I will for you and remember the positive impact you can have on the people and the world we inhabit.
LiVe.LoVe.LiFe.
Peace.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) Woven – LeBron James‚Äô Heroes Pack – Michael Jordan

LeBron showing some love for his heroes from back in the day. Apparently he’s going to release a “Heroes Pack” which fuse his current shoe with those of his childhood heroes. Read on. . .

Here is a neat idea Nike is working on. Even though he’s one of the most successful basketball star on the court today. At one time in his life, LeBron James was like any child, idolizing the great athletes he seen on television and impersonating their moves on neighborhood playground. Now, as his real life plays off his imagined one, James is able to pay homage to those same athletes in the yet to be release Heroes Pack. From Michael Jordan, Penny Hardaway, to Deion Sanders, each is a pair of Air Max LeBron VII fused with each athlete’s signature shoes. First is Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan XI (11). Dominated by the black patent leather upper and black/red/white color scheme, it is easy to see why anyone would confuse these with a real AJ XI from afar. Unfortunately, no dates are set for its release.
