To Every Man, Woman & Child…

  1. We Want an End to the Glam­or­iza­tion of Neg­a­tiv­i­ty in the Media.
  2. We Want an End to Sta­tus Sym­bols Dic­tat­ing Our Worth As Indi­vid­u­als.
  3. We Want a Mean­ing­ful and Uni­ver­sal Edu­ca­tion Sys­tem.
  4. We Want Sub­stance in the Place of Pop­u­lar­i­ty.
  5. We Will Not Com­pro­mise Who We Are to Be Accept­ed by the Crowd.
  6. We Want the Invis­i­ble Walls That Sep­a­rate by Wealth, Race & Class to Be Torn Down.
  7. We Want to Think Our Own Thoughts.
  8. We Will Be Respon­si­ble for Our Envi­ron­ment.
  9. We Want Clar­i­ty & Truth from Our Elect­ed Offi­cials or They Should Move Aside.
  10. We Want Love Not Lies.
  11. We Want an End to All Wars. For­eign & Domes­tic (Vio­lence).
  12. We Want an End to the Processed Cul­ture of Exploita­tion, Over-Con­sump­tion & Waste.
  13. We Want Knowl­edge, Under­stand­ing & Peace.
  14. WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS!!!

Lasers are the oppo­site of losers. Lasers are shin­ing beams of light that burn through the dark­ness of igno­rance. Lasers shed light on injus­tice and inequal­i­ty. Losers stand by and let things hap­pen. Lasers act and shape their own des­tinies. Lasers find mean­ing and direc­tion in the mys­ter­ies all around them. Lasers stand for love and com­pas­sion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for pro­gres­sion. Lasers are rev­o­lu­tion­ary.
Lasers Are The Future.

We’re Not Losers… We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remem­ber 2 Smile!

Hey Champ x Lupe Fiasco x FNF

With influ­ences from “art, his­to­ry, sci­ence, the 80s, car­toons, Where in the World is Car­men San Diego, and of course per­son­al misfortune/insecurity”, Hey Champ rocks it. The band is made up of Saam Hagshenas (vox, gui­tar, keys), Jon Marks (rhythm, vox, keys), and Pete Dougher­ty (keys, synths).

I’m dig­ging their music video for Gold Dust Girl. The open­ing part just reminds me of the rave scene from Matrix Reloaded (after Mor­pheus address­es Zion, and Neo & Trin­i­ty gets jig­gy). Any­ways, check it out:

By the way, Lupe just recent­ly signed them to his label FNF. For him to pick them up, you know they are head­ed no oth­er way than up! Here’s Lupe broad­cast­ing Hey Cham­p’s sign­ing:

Kanye West, co-star­ring: Rihan­na, N.E.R.D, and Lupe Fias­co

Awe­some show. I went to the San Jose HP Pavil­ion one this past Sat­ur­day, 4/19th. Too bad I missed most of Lupe’s. Oh well, I guess I just have to roll and see him in a small­er venue.

Any­ways, this is a dope show/concert to go to—well worth the mon­ey and time. I scored an awe­some 4‑star VIP tix and sat Front‑2, Row-10, Seat-14 right dead-smack cen­ter and aisle.

Every­one was on point w/ their per­for­mances… and did­n’t say the wrong city =) (I read that Kanye said “Seat­tle” up in the Sacra­men­to Arco Are­na show 4/18th)—no love for the Kings haha
