Hate-Kyprios

So it's no secret I'm a hip hop head. ALso no secret that my favourite lyricist is Kyprios...from Canada...well for the first time tonight I got a chance to see his video for my ultimate awe-inducing song: Hate.

It speaks to anyone and everyone equally. At first you may think he is be derogatory...or racist...but that is the entire point. Kyprios points out the obvious misconceptions and slurrs that society uses today and turns them around to shock you into understanding his message. His gift of the spoken word is only magnified by his choice of lines. He is incredible.

I've seen him live three times. I'd go again, any day and anytime. He is a person that you see perform on stage and are so struck by his words that you are desperate to take some of it home with you. Off stage he is even more personable and kind. He has a way about him that is the opitome of "down to earth" and real. He isn't some ego-inflated hip hop head with a passion for violence and destruction, money and hoes. He is a geniune lover of music and even more infused passionately about words.

Whenever I have written in awhile...I listen to my Kyprios album and am again inspired to write not for myself, but for the education of those who cannot educate themselves. All people have the ability to learn but some are so stuck behind societal miscommunications that they are effectively wrapped up in sound proofed plastic where they cannot hear anything else but teh mundane and pre-programmed stance. Like Kyprios, and Sweatshop Union-people need to be given the tools to cut through the crap and listen with their own ears and see with their own eyes. Once the plastic is ripped away, people are shocked to find what they had been hiding in. Tools. Thats the key. Tools=education=freedom.

Check out the video: (you might have to try it a few times, it has issues...)
