Did you ever think of organizing a spoken word award assembly? This would encourage writers and a multitude of talent would emerge to showcase and/or compete at the assembly. Just a thought.

Shorter version: Do you/have you worked with musicans?

[ilyalushtak]

I have a question. First of all, you have my deepest respect and I look forward to learning from you for the rest of my life. Question: I realize the destinction of spoken word from music and the benifts thereof, however, do you insist that in a musical context you would nessecarily compromise your art? i.e. working with musicians? Being a musician myself, I was just telling someone today that natural human speech is to me among the musically inspiring things.

I really feel that, first I think Like a play or some sort or visual story. Kinda like the " So-Called" Black plays, but with no Tom Foolery. The knowledge is being dropped, but the ones who should hear the message, are not in the buying the cd or coming to the shows( as they are now)

I also agree. I do a little independent journalism for GNN who created the True Lies video. I can give you feedback on the things that I see as being most important and reliable to include in your work if you like.

I think your spoken word without music is most powerful. I also think you should continue the great poems of inspiration to the youth to wake up, intellectually and spiritually. I think you are part of this wonderful tapestry of this global awakening. Peace

First of all, I love your work! Now, advice to push the envelope...What about visiting colleges and universities to speak because I know some places(especially HBCUs) that would really benefit from hearing your message. Just an idea. Thanks for doing what you do!

i agree, Taalam and a few others like ron paul have a chance to wake up the mass from their fantasy sleep, they should take advantage of it.

pushing the envelope advice? hmmm...how about a tour? i mean if it's affordable. do a wake up tour, a tour where you're poetry hits harder and harder on whats going on today, waking people up from this materialistic fantasy matrix they're living in, the government, the unfortunate future, try to get them to look at the stars and just try to wonder where god is, try to get them to forget realize the lies the have believed...yeah, that would be a great tour, a monumental one.
