Shared consciousness and MLK

    You ever been in a situation where people are having fun, and there's somebody not enjoying themselves (or who has the perception they're not enjoying themselves) -> Then some of the people who are having fun become emotionally agitated by their presence, turning on them or even insulting them?

"Why's he/she so serious"
 
"They're ruining my vibe"
 
"They won't change my opinion"
 
    They'll bombard that person with a barrage of negative attention but never directly engage with them or ask them what's wrong.

    I believe that shared consciousness is real, and that malicious intent and selfish intent within that shared pool holds less potency than morally upright and altruistic thinking. The latter serves as a constant interrupter, bringing forth emotions and accountability that one may not want to deal with at the moment. It thrusts it to the front of the individual mind like "you're going to deal with me!!" Some people get offended by that and react in a number of ways: aggression, mockery, etc. This shared consciousness process becomes like a tug of war, where the side of selfishness is often loud and brash, and vindictive against their opponents, wanting the opposition to not just lose, but suffer. Sometimes the side of altruism picks up this vindictiveness, becoming like an oppressive authoritarian in the mindset. But every now and then somebody shows up on the side of morals just as loud and brash, but without the vindictiveness, and they really become a problem to the opposition, throwing them off their game. Martin Luther King Jr is the best modern example of this.

Vulgarity

 On vulgarity. 

Removing vulgarity from my speech is not an easy task. Now that I don't use it in my everyday conversations, I start rapping and nothing but cuss words come to mind. It's like I can't even form a complete bar without cussing. Like I got a stash of cuss words in a bank somewhere, growing with compounded interest, run by the World bank of cussing, secretly funding my music. I am insecure in my ability to rap without cussing, at least for the first 10 minutes. Yet I find me cussing entertaining, so it's healing, so I'm like "should I heal with cuss words now" cause I will knock a n**ga the f**k out, the way n**gas been acting these days. See, I can't even keep it real in my music now. What I'm finna say?, that I won't knock a n**ga the f**k out? But that's not keeping it real! Aw well, to the cutting room floor. 


Thank you Rap music. I should of just cussed my whole career and made it big on B.E.T. Uncut.
