Master Teacher???

"What if there was no niggas only master teachers? I stay woke"- Erykah Badu



Since Ms. Badu's debut in 1997, she has been producing music that makes her listeners think. Yeah, we can sit back and groove to her music but there is always a much appreciated conscious undertone. Since I was elementary school I have been listening to Erykah trying to decypher her lyrics. Her first single off of her first album, On & On, has a sense of ambuigity. It wasn't until I got older that understood what she meant by "If we were made in his image, then call us by our names." and "I was born underwater with 3 dollars and 6 dimes."



I'd expand on my interpretation of those lyrics, however this post is about her song Master Teacher on her latest LP New Amerykah. In this song she asks the question "What if there was no niggas only master teacher?" Everyone I know who has this album loves this song. And is intrigued by this question.



But what is a Master Teacher? I truly believe nothing is titled on accident so therefore it is meaningful that the opponents of niggas are Master Teachers. Why you ask. Erykah is into Kemetic Spirituality and an important aspect of this spirituality is numerology.

In numerology a person born under the life path of 22 is called a master teacher. According to numerology the life path 22 is the most powerful as those who are born under the path have a special talent of manifesting their ideas into reality. Master Teachers are said to be master builders in society. They also achieve higher levels of spiritual enlightenment.

I say once again its no accident that the opponent of a nigga is a Master Teacher!

Love in the Club??? Part I

I am at club recently, grinding on some stranger ( tisk tisk tisk) and all of a sudden he whispers in my here "come home with me". My immediate reaction is hell no, of course. This is isn't the first time this has happend, however this is the first time that I became outraged. Outraged enough to write a blog on the flaws of night clubs and the music that goes a long with it.

Let me start off by telling you the club I went to is called Love. Yes, Love! I have yet to hear someone criticize this place for being called Love. Why should they, you ask. Because a place such as this names after Love, makes a mockery of what love truly is. There is no love in the darkness of a club. Just straight up stank lust. Drunken lust. Booty shaking and grinding lust! I believe love is a force and though it can exist everywhere a night club just doesn't embody it.

When people give a place a name, there is thought that goes into it . This club isn't called Love on accident. A club called Love reflects the concsiousness of society. How so? I look around and I see how people treat each other in relationships and courting. So many people that are dating or in relationships are building there foundation on sex. And thats what night clubs are really about sex.

This is why no one complains or discusses that there is a night club called Love, because it isn't odd to them. Thats what love is in there minds. Love=SEX. I will continue this in my blog... Love in the Club Part II
