I KEEP HOLDING ON !

I KEEP HOLDING ON IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY SIMPLY RED AND THE MASTER- P- RAP EDITION OF HIS 1995 PRIORITY DISTRIBUTED-NO- LIMIT  RECORDS  ALBUM THE ICE CREAM MAN !  BETRAYAL: IS TO REVEAL UNINTENTIONALLY. FORGIVENESS IS TO: CEASE TO FEEL RESENTMENT AGAINST THE OFFENDER. TRUST IS : ASSURED RELIANCE ON THE CHARACTER, ABILITY, STRENGTH OR TRUTH OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT REACHING OUT TO RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR PAST FOR HEALING IS THAT THE RISK IS THAT NEW REVELATIONS COME TO LIGHT AND THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU HAVE HIDDEN GUILT THAT COMES TO LIGHT.  WHEN IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE PAIN SURFACES AND THE HEART BREAKS AGAIN, BUT ALSO THATS THE PROCESS OF FORGIVENESS AND HEALING AS JESUS SAYS TO FORGIVE IS TO BE FORGIVEN ! TRUST WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE ONLY CAN  BE RESTORED WITH AN OPEN HEART, TIME AND OUR LORDS GRACE! EVERY NIGHT I PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE I HURT INTENTIONALLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY AND THOSE WHO INTENTIONALLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY HURTED ME THAT THEY BE BLESSED AND FRUITFUL IN THERE LORDS CALLING AND LIFE  IN MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST !

GET IN WERE YOU FIT IN ?

I REMEMBER IN THE EARLY 80'S WHEN I USE TO RIDE THE # 43 BANCROFT BUS TO SAN LEANDRO HIGH, THERE WAS THIS GUY WHO SOLD HOMEMADE RAP TAPES ON THE BACK OF THE BUS, HE SAID HE WORK AT RADIO SHACK IN THE EASTMONT MALL AND HE GETS FREE  TAPES TO RECORD HIS MUSIC !  I WENT HOME AND PLAYED THE TAPE HE RAPPED ABOUT EAST OAKLAND, GIRLS AND  HUSTLING  I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE BIG. HE WAS RAPPING ABOUT EAST OAKLAND AND THE STREET CULTURE HIS NAME TODD SHAW B.K.A TOO SHORT !  BAY AREA PIONEERS TO ME IN RAP MUSIC ARE- TOO-SHORT, MAC DRE, RAPPIN 4 TAY, DIGITAL UNDERGROUND, TUPAC, MASTER P, E-40 AND THE CLICK, PARIS , ASKARI X,  HAMMER AND SPICE-1, BUT THE THREE SONGS THAT I LIKED THE BEST FROM TOO SHORT WERE THE GHETTO, SHORT BUT FUNKY AND GET IN WERE YOU FIT IN, BECAUSE IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS I HAVE MADE PEACE WITH PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN FOR 20 TO 30 YEARS AND IT WAS A BLESSING, BUT THEY LET ME KNOW ON NOT WHAT THEY SAY BUT HOW THEY ACT  TOWARD ME AND THAT IS GET IN WERE YOU FIT IN AND THE SAME GOES TO US ALL !

MUCH HONOR TO BOOTS RILEY !

I GIVE THE UP MOST RESPECT TO BROTHER BOOTS FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO UP LIFTING OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGH HIS MUSIC WITH THE COUP, TO HIS ACTIVISM. BOOTS HAS BEEN A SOLDIER FOR THE STRUGGLE FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS IF NOT MORE. I DO NOT KNOW BOOTS PERSONALLY BUT I HAVE SUPPORTED HIS MUSIC FROM DAY ONE. THE REASON I HAVE BROUGHT BOOTS RILEY UP, IS BECAUSE HE OPENED HIS FRIENDS LIST UP TO EVERY ONE AND ALLOWS FOR PEOPLE TO POST UP WHATS ON THERE MINDS WITH OUT ASKING PERMISSION LIKE A LOT OF CELEBRITIES DO ! I RESPECT THAT AND IN DOING SO IF BY THE GRACE OF GOD IF I EVER BECOME A CELEBRITY I WILL ALWAYS KEEP MY FRIENDS LIST OPEN SO PEOPLE EXERCISE THERE FIRST AMENDMENT, I  UNDERSTAND PEOPLE IN BUSINESS AND POLITICS HAVE TO CONTROL WHO IS ON THERE WALL, BUT I ALSO THINK BY DOING THAT YOU NEUTRALIZE PEOPLES OPINIONS AND OTHER PEOPLE CAN NOT LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, JUST MY OPINION AND I UNDERSTAND EVERY ONE HAS ONE !

Crying Miracles !

 SOME ONE ASKED ME, HOW DID I COME UP WITH CRYING MIRACLES ? I COULD NOT ANSWER RIGHT AWAY EXCEPT, MY LORD GAVE IT TO ME AND ALSO SINCE MAY 10TH-1998 , I FAILED SO MUCH FROM ONE DAY OF HAVING EVERYTHING FOR TEN YEARS ( FAMILY, BUSINESS ) TO WAKING UP ONE DAY AND IT WAS ALL GONE IN 6 MONTHS TIME ?  I BELIEVE IN MY HEART AND SOUL THAT MY LORD HEARS ME AND HAD SEEN ME THROUGH WITH OUT A DOUBT. I HAVE NEVER ONCE DOUBTED THAT MY LORD HAD A PURPOSE AND CALLING TO CONTINUE TO FULFILL, UNTIL I AM NO LONGER PHYSICALLY ON THIS EARTH. MY SOLE PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH IS TO INVEST IN FAMILY, PEOPLE, AND THE HOMELESS ! CRYING IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS BUT OF STRENGTH ! ( JESUS WEPT OVER LAZARUS )  JOHN: 11-VERSE- 35

What It's All About ?

AS OF JUNE -1- 2011 GODBROTHERS ENTERTAINMENT HAS 200 LOGOS AND 5,OOO TEES,HOODIES,HATS,SKATEBOARDS AND TENNIS SHOE LINES ! NEXT IS 7 MOVIES, 7 RECORDS (SOUNDTRACKS ) 2 BOOKS AND A INTERNET RADIO TALK SHOW ! WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT IS THE CHILDREN AND THE PLIGHT OF THE HOMELESS, THATS MY CALLING FROM MY LORD IS TO INVEST IN  MY CHILD,WIFE,MOTHER,NEPHEWS,NIECES,SISTER IN LAW,ORPHANS AND THE HOMELESS ! IT IS NOT ABOUT ME ITS ABOUT MY CALLING FROM THE LORD !

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS POVERTY ?

THE OTHER DAY, I HEARD A BROTHER TALKING ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN TO MAKE LEGITIMATE MONEY. HE WENT ON AND ON  ABOUT HOW THE SYSTEM IS SET UP FOR US TO FAIL,BLAMING EVERY ONE  EXCEPT HIMSELF ! THEN HE WENT ON TALKING ABOUT HIS GLORY DAYS ON HOW MUCH MONEY HE HAD, HOUSES,WOMEN,CARS,JEWELRY ,DRUGS AND THEN HE SAID THOSE WERE THE BLESSED DAYS ? I ADMIT AS AN  AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN WE DO HAVE A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF FINANCIAL DIS -ADVANTAGE, SINCE WE WERE SLAVES, BUT SO DO OUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? UNITED STATES IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY FOR US AFRICAN AMERICANS ! SO, I SAY TO US BLACK MEN WE ARE RESPONSIBLE ! THIS BELOVED COUNTRY OF OURS, HAS A PRISON POPULATION OF 2 MILLION AND 50% OUR BLACK MEN- 80% ARE IN FOR DRUG SALES. THATS A BIG PERCENT OF BLACK MEN IN PRISON, SINCE THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION IS ONLY 10 % OR 30 MILLION OF THE U.S POPULATION OF 300 MILLION ! WE NOW HAVE SLIPPED IN TO THE SECOND BIGGEST MINORITY BEHIND OUR HISPANIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM GENOCIDE ! AFRICAN AMERICANS PURCHASING POWER HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREATER THAN OUR INCOME COLLECTIVELY, AND OUR LIBERAL WAYS OF SPENDING MONEY ON MATERIAL THINGS, HAS ALWAYS BEEN PASS DOWN TO THE NEXT GENERATION LIKE A CURSE ! IF ANYBODY SHOULD BE CONSERVATIVE, US BLACKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTER BOYS FROM OUR HISTORY AS SLAVES-  IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR THINKING (COMMON SENSE ) !  WHEN IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE, WE COME FROM DUST AND WE WILL ALL GO BACK TO DUST IN THE PHYSICAL REALM ! AND I BELIEVE IT IS WRITTEN IN SO MANY WORDS , WE CAN NOT  FIT OUR CARS, IN ARE COFFINS ! MY PERSONAL OPINION IS WE CURSED OUR GENERATIONS WITH SELFISHNESS IS WHY OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE VICTIMS TO POVERTY, NO WONDER OUR SISTERS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR US . DO YOU BLAME THEM, I DONT. O,K BROTHERS RICH OR NOT IF WE DONT INVEST IN OUR CHILDREN UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION, WE WILL ALL WAYS BE CURSED, BUT WITH THE LORDS GRACE, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE ! LORD FORGIVE ME, I AM GUILTY !

FACTS ABOUT THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY !

NUMBER ONE- 90 PERCENT OF THIS INDUSTRY IS ABOUT STEALING YOUR IDEAS AND CREATIVE WORK. NUMBER TWO-THE PEOPLE STEALING AND SELLING YOUR WORK ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE, NOTHING PERSONAL. NUMBER THREE-BY TIME YOU GET PAID YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALL READY MADE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF YOU, THAT JUST THE WAY IT IS IN THIS CRAZY INDUSTRY ! FOR EXAMPLE IN 1993 , I CEDRIC SHABAZZ ATTEMPTED TO SUE RAPPER ICE-T FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ON A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER THE BLACK SAVIOR , YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE FREMONT ARGUS NEWSPAPER - AUGUST 1993 IN THE ARCHIVES SECTION ! WHEN I SIGNED THE AGREEMENT WITH OUR LAWYER , I DIDN"T KNOW HE WAS GOOD OLD TIME FRIENDS WITH ICE- T LAWYER ERIC GREENSPAN ? RESULTS NOTHING, A WASTE OF TIME AND STRESS, BUT A PRICELESS LESSON , NEVER SUE ANYBODY IN THIS INDUSTRY. JUST MAKE SURE THEY CAN NEVER STOP YOU FROM  MAKING MONEY OFF  YOUR WORKS, TAKE IT FROM  A MAN WHO SPENT 28 YEARS AND OWNED 8 COMPANIES LATER TO FINALLY GET A DECENT CHECK !

A REAL MAN ?

Brothers don't you get tired of the World, overbearing Mothers,Sisters, Girlfriends, and Wives telling you what  A REAL MAN is, like they got a PENIS ? A Real Man Has A JOB, A Real Mas IS EDUCATED,A Real Man PAYS ALL THE BILLS, A Real Man BUYS A WOMAN WHAT EVER SHE WANTS, A Real Man WALKS,TALKS AND DRESSES LIKE THIS LIKE THAT ! A Real MAN has DARK SKIN,  LITE SKIN,GOOD HAIR, BAD HAIR. A Rean Man, says YES SIR , Yes MAAM ? DIDN"T WE HEAR these FIRST WORDS  From  OURformer SLAVE MASTERS ? Who's main role was to keep us Men   AS LITTLE DEPENDENT BOYS IN there EYES ? Brother's,  A REAL MAN IS BORN A MALE, LET NO MAN, WOMAN, OR WORLD TAKE THAT GOD GIVEN BIRTHRIGHT  FROM YOU, IT"S ALL WE GOT !

TO BE A KING !

When I came out my Mothers womb, I was born a Prince, a Diamond in the ruff. At the age of 18, my Lord gave me a vision, on how the next 22 years would be. My Lord said Son, you may have children or not, you may be married or not ? Son you will have addictions of the flesh, you also will build multiple Companies and most will have failed.Son you will experience Incarceration, Homelessness  and Hopelessness.Son on your 40th birthday you will become a King  no longer a spoiled selfish Prince, no longer a Diamond in the ruff. At 40 when I looked at alcohol, I said to my self, if I take one sip, I will no longer be a King. When I am tempted by the flesh to sin I say no, I want to stay a King. And when my flesh desires anything contrary to the Word, I say no I want to stay a King.!

AFRICAN AMERICANS AND UNEMPLOYMENT !

AFRICAN AMERICAN'S HAVE THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN GOOD ECONOMICAL TIMES  AND ALSO BAD ECONOMICAL TIMES, BUT WE GET UP EVERY MORNING TO LOOK FOR WORK. THE LORD HAS NEVER FAILED US, IT WON"T BE ON OUR TIME, BUT GOD"S TIME AND HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT ON TIME !

MESSAGE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICA !

TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN AMERICA, TO THE GRAVED,JAILED,DEALERS,PROFFESIONALS , ATHELETES,POLITICIANS AND ENTRTAINERS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME IN THE LAST DAYS, I LIKE TO SUGGEST AS A MATTER OF FACT ( JAILS,DRUGS,HOMOCIDES )  THAT THERE IS NOT TO MANY OF US OUT HERE ANYMORE (  GENOCIDE ). I JUST ASK ALL OF US , THAT WE PUT BACK GOD FIRST AND WE DO THE RIGHT THING. !  NOT FOR OUR SELFISH MATERIALISTIC REASONS, BUT TO BREAK OUR CULTURE AND GENARATIONAL CURSE FOR OUR CHILDREN !

     THE OTHER DAY A CONGRESSMAN IN WASHINGTON SAY'S HE CAN NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT, HE IS WORRIED ABOUT HIS GRAND CHILDREN"S FUTURE. THAT'S FUNNY ,THIS GUY'S  A MULTI- MILLIONAIRE AND ADMITTS, HE ONLY HAS ENOUGH MONEY FOR 5 GENERATIONS ?
