The Rebellion Paradox

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Truth Beckons“…

Rayn:

"Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." - George Orwell, 1984

“Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” – George Orwell, 1984

Renat S.: Sometimes one needs consciousness not to rebel

Rayn: Indeed. Yet, when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty – to paraphrase another famous quote. Have you ever read Orwell’s book, “1984,” by the way?

Renat S.: No, I haven’t; thank you for suggestion

Rayn: You’re welcome. 🙂

Feedback on My Facebook Wall Share of My Live Recording of My Song, “Prison Planet”

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my video, “Sharing My Live Recording of My Song, ‘Prison Planet,’ to My Facebook Wall“…

Rayn: Prison Planet Live:

No frills, just skillz! Watch me get transcendental on my instrumental! And, if you haven’t done so already, “like” my music page, here: Rayn!

Habib A.: Dope!!!!

Genaire: Good work!

Melissa O.: Can’t wait to hear the whole song! This live recording’s got me motivated too!

Sara: Great message and AMAZING delivery! I can’t wait to here the completed work! Love you, sis!

Rayn: Thank you all for the positive feedback! When others attempt to stifle my voice, it often inspires me to SPIT!

And, that’s awesome, Melissa! Conscious Hip-Hop Lyricism, for the WIN!

I love you, too, Sara! 

Genaire: I love you sexy lady

Rayn: I love you, dearly, Genaire! ❤

Greg C.: smoke em like butts Rayn, crush em like wine; and like Gannicus sez, fuck the gods – give me coin and purpose…”

Rayn: Thanks, Greg.

Kala Z.: Awesome! Always enjoy your rhymes. You have such a deep message. Good job Rayn 🙂

Rayn: Much appreciated, Kala! 🙂

Remembering the Inspirational Hip-Hop Legacy of Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of fellow emcee, Tru Leo, after he shared a captioned photo from here

Tru Leo:

Hold Up! Lil' Mama Will Never Match Up To Left Eye's Legacy! http://bit.ly/XU4ohq

Hold Up! Lil’ Mama Will Never Match Up To Left Eye’s Legacy!
http://bit.ly/XU4ohq

Rayn: Word! Lil’ Mama couldn’t hold a candle to her! Left-Eye will always remain my original inspiration to rhyme – even before Lauryn Hill, who actually contributed to it, later, by virtue of her skills on the Fugees album, “The Score.” And, it was Left-Eye’s verse on “Waterfalls,” alone, that actually did it for me! 🙂 I played that portion of the song so very many times that my damn “CrazySexyCool” album stopped working properly SOLELY on that part – skipping it’s way through, instead!

Discussing My Valentine’s Day Post

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Be Kine to Your Buds!“…

Rayn: This Valentine’s day, make sure to be kine to your buds! 😉

Stan H.: What is that heart made of?

Rayn: Cannabis buds! 🙂

Stan H.: yum, j/k

Rayn: Yum! (serious)

Stan H.: bad Rayn! bad girl!
