Vitamin - DROP A GEM ON 'EM

[Vitamin]

A disclaimer:

1) In no way is this impromptu and improvised song/rap meant to belittle the legitimate grievances of Native Americans or any indigenous strugglers against Euro-American hegemony. I was attempting to channel and interpret what I see as the legitimate rage of the Sioux, Seminole, Inca, Mayan etc... When this was recorded (without forewarning I might add), I was listening to "Indian Sunset" by Elton John, who remained for some time this spring a seminal influence on my work.

2) This is a poor example of my flow. The rhymes are often predictable and it should be appreciated more for its vision and thematic discipline. Also keep in mind, this track was created spontaneously with two guitarists I had just met.

3) The first 45 seconds are a dry run of free style followed by some snippets of conversation. The song does not really begin until two minutes into the track.

I guess it's hard to buy that, with you and your listeners laughing and giggling throughout the whole thing. Seriously, dude. I'll spare us all another look at Brian Peppers, but the whole thing is not a good look.

I'll stick to my Sublime CD's.

Vitamin's greatest hits, indeed.

Dude, everyone was asking me to post up my freestyling. I was being completely honest about the one recording I had of me doing what I do. And with all that, people still wanted to hear this. So save your little PC lecture homey. I am trying to channel what was some real shit that happened to the people who used to live on this land. So I can't help it, if some people thought that was funny. Cause at the time, I was trying to stretch. But if you don't like, don't listen.

...I'm assuming the people around you were white?

 

[SoulOnIce]

No PC lecture. You just look like either a hypocrite or an ass, if you think you were "channeling the Native American" for your friends' amusement. Sure, it took balls to post it - because you know it's lame.

 

[MorseCode]

how anyone could even sit through this whole thing is beyond me. Sooooo bad... but I am laughing.

 

[Guzzo]

Damn some of y'all are cruel.

Seriously everybody should be on their 2nd bowl by now and if you know the chorus sing along...

I'm sure they're all very, very thankful you took that opportunity to express their views for them.

For the record, you were the one who called me the "Silly, stupid little man."

Seriously, you cannot possibly be trying to tell us that this was a serious effort to "[channel] the native American anger towards white people," can you?

I don't think it took "balls" to post this. It took a massive amount of stupidity.

I can't even wrap my head around this shit. You are either seriously disturbed or a complete schmuck. Or both.

POST MORE!

Yeah, for real - respect on that.





It sounds like you all had a good time.





I should see what my wife thinks of this too.


She told me some dude came into her work and called her a "lovely squaw" which she said (apparently erroneously) means 'vagina'.


Needless to say, she took offense to the white dude trying to get his "Native channeling" on.

mixed crowd. Persian, white, Chinese, Arab, Jewish and slavic.

 

[SoulOnIce]

The funniest thing is that if he had claimed he was "channeling the African American," this thread would already be at 5 pages - and he would have been banned by now.

Do you issue narrative licenses in your spare time? I felt a theme, influenced by Elton John, and went with it. No more, no less.
