0:16 You probably should get that checked out, you might be experiencing cardiovascular disease symptoms.

Good song, and tutorial, btw. :S

[ddsharper]

Shakespeare got it from Ancient African Rhetorical systems, assimilated into Greek societies much later in history. Sorry Europeans. It makes no sense to think that Europeans, despite Shakespeare, who I doubt was white, created any form of rhythm. It's no accident that rhythm in talk is a part of the African heritage;that African American's rhetorical styles and rythmic natures lead the world and are emulated by all races. Before Europe had any writing system, Africa had 27. watch?v=8V892TU8U7o

@ddsharper That's really cool, it's something I'd like to share with my future students. Do you have any sources for this information?

[ddsharper]

@pjgadbois sure. 1. here is a book youtube movies for ya. Through a critical analysis of ancient African texts... predate Greco-Roman treatises Cecil Blake revisits the roots of rhetorical theory and challenges what is often advanced as the "darkness metaphor" -- the rhetorical construction of Africa and Africans.offers a thorough examination of Ptah-hotep and core African ethical principles (Maat) and engages rhetorical scholarship within the wider discourse of African development.

@pjgadbois The lies of the European white supremacy system are roots that run so deep and wide, this knowledge is really difficult to find. It's like the whole world is worshipping the god of this world. check out the youtube video, the real greeks, all three parts. it's by black truth forever, if google hasn't taken it down. also check out steve cokely on the black boule. a lot will come together. best wishes. need anything, let me know.

[cuddlesducks]

the last time hip hop was done primarily in iambic pentameter was about 1986, whiteboy. "i guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous / it can't be mixed, diluted, it can't be changed or switched / here's a lesson if ya guessing, and borrowing / hurry hurry, step right up and keep following...the leader."
