The concept behind the album coming is built around relating the streets here in the US to those that are around the world. To illustrate that no matter what we face here our native post-colonial lands are suffering 1000 times worse. To create more communication between this country and Latin America and Africa, Eastern Europe, South East Asia, all those lands that were under European or American rule less than 20 years ago in some places. For far too long we have been separated by petty rivalries and the unfathomably counterproductive superiority complexes that divide our people. No matter how difficult the conditions of our lives are in this nation they are still incomparable to those of the people who we were once a part of overseas or right across the border. Revolution is about a constant movement. Instead of retreating I choose to advance. I chose to build my alliances stronger with my peoples overseas and here in this nation, to show them that this album/mixtape has something for everyone. In style of music as well as the struggle.
The struggle that is playing itself out between the small resistance left that fights for the culture and soul of Hip Hop is what I see around the world, it opened my eyes to that fact that we are not outnumbered, just not organized as much as we should be. I look forward to building with more people from Africa, South America, Central America, this doesn’t mean that I can sit here and do songs with everyone that hits me up because realistically it’s impossible for me to live my life and work on my Revolutionary projects and help everyone else with their career but I will work with a few and I will reach out to people across the world to support this project. The album/mixtape addresses not just local issues but how they are related to our own lives here in the US. We cannot afford to lose that connection to the rest of the world, especially in this day and age where the ability to reach across the world is in our hands. Our Revolution must be spread all over the world.
The single is receiving good reviews so far, you all should add your own.
I know there is some confusion about whether this was The Middle Passage or Revolutionary Vol.3, it is not. I was originally working on these album’s which will still be released but Dj Green Lantern and Southpaw just kept hitting me with songs and I am a writer by nature as much as I am a soldier I kept writing. So much so that I eventually had to compile these songs that I felt could not just be lost even though they didn’t fit the conceptuality of Revolutionary Vol.3. They were their own entity, they tested my flow and breathe control which I refined, my voice slightly raspy because I would come home from tour and jump right in the studio but I’m a grown man now and naturally I can’t sound like I did on Vol.1 or even most of Vol.2. This desire to write led me to want to expand that horizon for other people… and so I designed a writing contest and my staff helped me to facilitate a way to putting it out there to people. (Please check the blog on my page for more details.) The 3rd World Writing Contest is now on my page, so anyone that is in high school please check it out and join us.

I’M FROM WHERE THE GOLD AND DIAMONDS ARE RIPPED FROM THE EARTH,
RIGHT NEXT TO THE SLAVE CASTLES WHERE THE WATER IS CURSED,
FROM WHERE POLICE BRUTALITY’S NOT HALF AS NICE,
IT MAKES THE HOOD IN AMERICA LOOK LIKE PARADISE,
COMPARED TO THE AIDS INFESTED CARIBBEAN SLUM,
AFRICAN STREETS WHERE THE PASSPORTS AN AMERICAN GUN,
FROM WHERE THEY MASSACRE PEOPLE AND TRY TO KEEP IT QUIET,
AND SPEND THE NEXT 25 YEARS TRYNA DENY IT,
I’M FROM WHERE THEY CUT YOUR HANDS OFF IF YOU MAKE A FIST,
AND NIGGAZ GROW COCOA CUZ THE JOB MARKET DOESN’T EXIST,
EXCEPT SLAVE LABOR MODERN DAY COMPANY STORE,
PEACEKEEPERS DON’T EVER, EVER, EVER COME HERE NO MORE,
I’M FROM WHERE THE BOMBS THAT THEY USED TO DROP ON THE VIETNAM,
STILL HAS CHILDREN BORN DEFORMED 8MONTH BEFORE THEY GONE, (p)
I’M FROM WHERE THEY LOST THE TRUE MEANING OF THE KORAN,
CUZ HEROIN IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ISLAM,
AND NIGGAZ KNOW THAT BUT GROW THAT POPPY SEED ANYWAY, (p)
CUZ THAT FOOD DROP PARACHUTE DOES NOT COME EVERYDAY,
I’M FROM WHERE PEOPLE PRAY TO THE GODS OF THEIR CONQUERORS,
AND PRACTICALLY EVERY PRESIDENTS A MONEY LAUNDERER,
FROM WHERE THE ONLY PLACE DEMOCRACIES ACCEPTABLE,
IS IF AMERICA’S CANDIDATE IS ELECTABLE,
AND THEY MIGHT EVEN HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT BUT HE’S USELESS,
CUZ HE DOES NOT CONTROL THE ECONOMY STUPID***
1. LOCK AND LOAD YOUR GUN WHERE I’M FROM THE 3RD WORLD SON*
(AIN’T NOTHING NICE) BEEN TO MANY PLACES BUT I’M 3RD WORLD BORN,
2. GUERILLAS HIT AND RUN WHERE I’M FROM THE 3RD WORLD SON*
(AIN’T NOTHING NICE) YOU POLLUTED EVERYTHING AND NOW THE 3RD WORLD’S GONE.
3. WATER IS POISON WHERE I’M FROM THE 3RD WORLD SON*
(AIN’T NOTHING NICE) 700 CHILDREN DIED BY THE END OF THIS SONG,
4. REVOLUTIONA COME WHERE I’M FROM THE 3RD WORLD SON*
(AIN’T NOTHING NICE) CONSTANT OCCUPATION LEAVES THE 3RD WORLD TORN.
I’M FROM WHERE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS SOME RACIST SHIT,
THEY HELPED EUROPE AND AMERICA RAPE THIS BITCH,
THEY PRAY TO WHITE SPANISH JESUS WHOSE FACE IS THIS,
BUT NEVER TALK ABOUT THE BLACK POPE GELASIUS,
I’M FROM WHERE SOVIET WEAPONS STILL DECIDE ELECTIONS,
MILITARY’S LIKE THE MAFIA YOU PAY FOR PROTECTION,
CATAMITE SEX TOURS IS WHAT COUNTRY SELLS,
AND RICH WHITE BUSINESS MEN MAKE THE BEST CLIENTELE,
I’M FROM WHERE THEY TOO PUSSY TO COME FILM SURVIVOR,
AND THEY MURDER COCA COLA UNION ORGANIZERS,
I’M FROM WHERE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ESTA PODRIDO,
FUCK GOVERNMENT NIGGAZ POLITIC OVER PERICO,
REBELDE CONCIDO, ENTERADO VIVO, COMO OTRO ARGENTINO DESAPARECIDO, CUZ RICO LAWS DON’T APPLY TO THE CIA,
AND MUTHAFUCKAZ MAKE SNEAKERS FOR A QUARTER A DAY,
I’M FROM WHERE THEY OVERTHROW DEMOCRATIC LEADERS,
NOT FOR THE PEOPLE, BUT FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL READERS,
FROM WHERE BLACKS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND ASIANS,
WERE ONCE THE SLAVES OF CAUCASIANS,
AND IT’S AMAZIN HOW THEY TRAINED THEM, (p)
TO BE RACIST AGAINST THEMSELVES IN THE PLACE THEY WAS RAISED IN,
YOU KEPT US CAGED IN,
DESTROYED OUR CULTURE AND SAID THAT YOU CIVILIZED US,
RAPED OUR WOMEN AND WHEN WE BORN YOU DESPISED US,
GENTRIFIED US AGENT PROVOCATEURS DIVIDE US,
AND CRUCIFIED EVERY REVOLUTIONARY MESSIAH,
SO I’MA START A GLOBAL RIOT,
NOT EVEN YOUR FAKE, ANTI-COMMUNIST DICTATORS CAN KEEP QUIET,
FUCK YOUR CHARITY MEDICINE TRYNA MURDER ME,
THE IMMUNIZATIONS YOU GAVE US WERE FULL OF MERCURY,
SO NOW I SEE THE 3RD WORLD LIKE THE RAP GAME SOLDIER,
NATIONALIZE THE INDUSTRY AND TAKE IT OVER*
Iti dau un exemplu de beat genial care-ti lasa impresia de razboi : Wu Tang - jah world ... bine ca discutia asta n-are absolut nici un rost...il doare-n pla pe IT ... doar asa ca fapt divers. Sper sa nu fie acelasi cacat ca la Poison Pen... sau cui i-a facut el materialu ala ... Iar "banging shit" de la Green Lantern asta io nu prea am auzit ... e cam ciudat tipu'. Oricum e tare totusi sa-l ai in dreapta pe unu din dji lu' 50.
pai IT a si zis in interviul ala ca n-are prejudecati de genu ''e dj-ul lui 50, fuck him''....plus ca a mai colaborat cu Lanterna Verde si la Bin Laden, care e produsa de respectivul...deci din partea mea e ok
imi plac mult tobele si fluierele alea
