Coded Language (The Declaration)

"Whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic
community to its drum woven past.

Whereas, the quantized drum has allowed the whirling mathmaticians to
calculate the ever-changing distance between rock and stardom.

Whereas, the velocity of spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and
re-released at the same given moment of recorded history, yet, at a different
moment in time's continum has allowed history to catch up with the present.

We do hereby declare reality unkept by the changing standards of dialogue.

Statements such as "keep it real", especially when punctuating or
articulating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically
or depicting an unchanging rule of events, will henceforth be seen as
retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is.

Furthermore, as determined by the collective cosnciousness of this state of
being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular
manifestations, the role of men as listening recepticles is to be increased
by a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal
agressors.

_ better realize, now is the time to self actualize.

We have found evidence that hip hop's standard 85 rpm when increased by a
number at least half the rate of the standard, or decreased by 3/4's of it's
speed may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness. Studies show
that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging the remaining
contradictions will parallel the truth.

Equate rhyme with reason
Sun with season

Our cyclical relationship to phenomena has encouraged scholars to erase the
centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and
effect.

Reject mediocrity

Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which has been given
for you to understand. The current standard is the equivalent of an
adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant. The rapidly changing body
would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptons and could not properly
mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears.

Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness.

The role of darkness is not to be seen as or equated with ignorance, but with
the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen.

Thus, in the name of:

ROBESON, GOD'S SON, HURSTON, AHKENATON, HATHSHEPUT, BLACKFOOT, HELEN, LENNON, KHALO, KALI, THE THREE MARIAS, TARA, LILITH, LOURDE, WHITMAN, BALDWIN, GINSBERG, KAUFMAN, LUMUMBA, GHANDI, GIBRAN, SHABAZZ, SHABAZZ, SIDDHARTHA, MEDUSA, GUEVARA, GURDJIEFF, RAND, WRIGHT, BANNEKER, TUBMAN, HAMER, HOLIDAY, DAVIS, COLTRANE, MORRISON, JOPLIN, DUBOIS, CLARKE, SHAKESPEARE, ROKMANINOV, ELLINGTON, CARTER, GAYE, HATHOWAY, HENDRIX, KUTI, DICKERSON, RIPPERTON, MARY, ISIS, THERESA, PLATH, RUMI, FELLINI, MICHAUX, NOSTRADAMUS, NEFERTTITI, LA ROCK, SHIVA, GANESHA, YEMAJA, OSHUN, OBATALA, OGUN, KENNEDY, KING, FOUR LITTLE GIRLS, HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI, KELLER, BIKO, PERONE, MARLEY, SHAKUR, THOSE WHO BURNED, THOSE STILL AFLAMED, AND THE COUNTLESS UNNAMED

we claim the present as the pre-sent as the hereafter
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun
We are not afraid of the darkness
We trust that the moon shall guide us
We are determing the future at this very moment
We now know that the heart is the philosopher's stone

Our music is our alchemy

We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a handful of
minerals, thus, realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply
the percussive factor of forever.

If you must count to keep the beat then count,
find your mantra and awaken your subconscious

Carve your circles counterclockwise

Use your cipher to decipher coded language, manmade laws

Climb waterfalls and trees
Commune with nature snakes and bees

Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day,
for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing
frequencies
into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photgraphy, carpentry, crafts,
love, and love.

We enlist every instrument:
acoustic, electronic

every so-called race, gender, sexual preference
every per-son as beings of sound
to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness
of the entire _ world

Any utterance un-aimed will be disclaimed
Any utterance un-aimed will be disclaimed


two rappers slain.."---------Saul Williams, from the title track of Dj Krust's album "Coded Language"



This is the cover of Saul Williams's book called She. He is a poet. I find this image completely fascinating.


He also has released an album of him speaking/rapping which includes the older song he did with Krust, which was quoted above.
