025 Chola Beat Poetry: "The Mall" - More Spoken Word

[thesouthotmack]

FUCK..,,,

[lalalytysha]

hahaa. i love this, it's hilarious.

[Josh72707]

More Chola Beat Poetry!

YOUR PUBLIC DEMANDS IT!

[hstmanana]

gross...you give poets a bad name. You tried way to hard to be avant garde, underground, bashing the mainstream, and instead you look like a bank robber with a fake obsession with jazz. Take your obvious comments about the faults of a capitalist, consumerism driven society blow them out your trumpet.

[thequeensofheartss]

omg she is trying to be FUNNY. Not serious lol

[N0ahfrank]

Dangerously witty, exceptionally charismatic, and now, a personified poet. I gotta get out of this town of 98% white Americans.

[sweetqueento3]

SO Awesome! SO TRUE! 5 Loud Snaps my Sista!!!!

[Josh72707]

great!

[GreezyGreen]

WTF!! str8 up HAHA im laughing. it was type annoying still. like she was trying 2 harddd

[TooTiredToSleep]

I have to cover the screen to really enjoy the piece... Maybe it's a trick of light and shadow, enhanced by the de-saturation, but your shoulders and arms are killing me! Just the most subtle, feminine hint of muscle and power...

::fans herself::

Is it warm in here?

Ok... I'll pay attention to the words now. I promise. ;-)

[YaxisX]

I liked the Bandanna prop. That was way cool. But really, "beat" poetry about "The Mall"? Who cares about the mall. Are you a euphemistic beat poet?

[PhoenixDao]

i think you may have missed her message?

[bluesborn]

Dig that neo beat stance

all reet all right now

Think I'll up and move

to France.

Ex Pat jazz dreams

In here and now

lets blow this Popsicle stand

start an all new brand.

[buddhamind]

Yeah man, I can dig it. That was like really heavy and stuff. *snap* *snap*

[danrob10]

That was really annoying

[PhoenixDao]

you must've not listened to the message

[danrob10]

No I did. The message probably accounted for 20% of my annoyance.

[DantesDelToro]

You ought to check out panja can here on YT--she's a poet spoken word performer in the El Paso area--5*---ĐĐŦ

[eyemran]

That's dope! I love jazz too! Chola's got gunz and shoulders! Hey, if you haven't alreayd, you should do a vi(s) on NAFTA and maquiladoras....Maybe even the women of Juarez.

[NOTHGIF]

GO BACK TO MEXICO

The comment on jazz is interesting. Jazz is now such "safe" background music for dinner parties and, dare I say, shopping centers (although I have yet to hear Monk in a mall). How about a piece ripping on smooth jazz? I dig the sentiment of this piece, but wince at its cliches. I feel like she's going for an over-the-top kind of thing, but not quite getting to the other side. Still, life is in the striving.

[Roxie21]

that's not the way jazz started out though. Jazz in itself is a revolutionary musical form

[Dangerkane]

this is considered poetry. what a total pile of convoluted rubbish. Using all the dated cliches such as jazz music and black and white offbeat camera work. absolute rubbish.

[805gre]

If you said the lyrics even faster, you would've made a rap song.

[AskACholaTV]

Chola rap album, coming soon!!!!

[HugoGernsback]

not good or bad enought

to be note worthy

work harder on your discordant muse

some day you might become

the twentyfirst century

William Topaz McGonagall

[GammatronTriode]

not beat

just doggerel

no cigaretts in boxcars boxcars boxcars

past grandfathers farms in the night

[knockaboutboy]

Fuckin epic. Didn't know the chola got 'nick like that. Tip it.

[GlobalDissident]

So true. Reminds me of my mall and every mall is my mall. They're all the same.

[carolynhilton]

BAD.

[willwkrueger]

this is terrible poetry. there is great value in ur effort to express our times now but as far but its just too superficial. also it is great that u have jazz music included, but like the subject matter of the poem, the jazz has to be relevant to today. today is not the same as 50 years ago so for something to be considered jazz today it can't come out the same as jazz did 50 years ago.

[jahray]

nice work-- I will be adding a voice to this place soon give me a look

[0pteryx]

Shoop da whoop!

[AskACholaTV]

Don't insult me by associating me in any way with Little Loca.

[williamcarolina]

so deep

all that jazz

no ice cream

but a knife in my ass

[thejimg]

Interesting, very interesting...

[mandogallegos]

I feel the urge to snap my fingers too; however, I was told never to snap your fingers at a Chola. Guess I'll just bob my head to the beat, take another sip of expresso and keep snapin my, damnit.

[SchizoKnight12]

malls suck. i haven't been to one in two years. they rip a person off with their two year phone contracts and six dollar chinese food.

[todosprecatoejerri]

soon j will be a bandita too,again

[GeneDebs]

Chola baby . . .you remind me of those angelheaded hipsters who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy

among the scholars of war, who were expelled from the academies for crazy &

publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull, . . . who sank all night in submarine light of Bickford's, listening to the crack of doom on the hydrogen jukebox . . . .

can you dig it?

[mickey4141]

I like the jazz. I love the energy. You're on to something. Keep it up, very entertaining.

[LaEmiliana]

i feel ya comadre, snap snap snap.

[CukaDeluxe]

make an series: poetry 4 the cholas!

[emilygrae]

AskAChola: I LOVE this one as well!

@ rev30: It's not that we don't need to go to the mall, it's that we can't leave it. American society is the mall. The world society is becoming more and more Americanized, so then, Walmart, Best Buy, the actual mall or where ever, you can't leave it. Not in China, not in Europe, not in Brazil, not anywhere. Ebay is just the mall online. You can't leave "the mall" without leaving society.

Viva la revolucion!

[AerocK]

Jazzzz....

[rev30]

Unlike a prison, u can leave a mall whenever u want. Most obviously tho, u don't have to go the mall.

If u don't like the mall, just by a jazz cd off ebay or something.

[moralesef]
