Kweli Takes the Mic at the Human Microphone @OccupyWallStreet

Talib Kweli at Occupy Wall Street from Eddie Pages on Vimeo.

Truth Speaks... with every few words / WITH EVERY FEW WORDS! repeated and amplified out loud / REPEATED AND AMPLIFIED OUT LOUD! by what has been dubbed / BY WHAT HAS BEEN DUBBED! the human microphone / THE HUMAN MICROPHONE!!! (jazz hands here). What is the Human Microphone? "Anyone who’s been down to Occupy Wall Street and stayed for a General Assembly will instantly recognize the call and response that begins, and frequently interrupts, each meeting. “Mic check?” someone implores. “MIC CHECK!” the crowd shouts back, more or less in unison. The thing is—there's no microphone. New York City requires a permit for “amplified sound” in public, something that the pointedly unpermitted Occupy Wall Street lacks. This means that microphones and speakers are banned from Liberty Plaza, and the NYPD has also been interpreting the law to include battery-powered bullhorns. Violators can be sentenced for up to thirty days in prison." "The overall effect can be hypnotic, comic or exhilarating—often all at once. As with every media technology, to some degree the medium is the message." We are all the Human Microphone -- Peace and Light

How To Make It In Ameica -- Season 2

So HTMIIA season 2 started this week. Basically its a straight continuation from last season where we see our dynamic duo Ben and Cam goto Japan. The more and more I keep hearing about Japan the crazier and crazier it seems. Can someone please explain Harajuku to me besides it being fashion paradise?? Anyways this episodes takes us from Japan back to the states and the stories that unfold, I think it was a decent season opener but not as riveting as I'd like it to be. What will people turn to now that Entourage is over.. Watch it here, if you can't find it on your own (click search for links) Check it out and let me know what you think. -- Peace

The Occupy Movement

First and foremost I want to say "WELCOME BACK SLEDGE. ITS TIME FOR THE END OF THE BEGINNING AND THE START OF GREATNESS." Welcome back friend. Occupy Wallstreet has been probably the most interesting form of American protest in the decade. The movement is simple, "We want change". At first I was confused as to what these people would come together to demand, but piece by peace they are showing things I can nod my head to.

I will visit Occupy DC in the next few days to learn more about the matters at hand.

I hope we can all contribute to this beautiful world. Take heed and take care.
