Kenshin OVAs are sick. Far better than the series.
“Whether it be getting hit by strikes or by some lack of conditioning.”
MUSA What are you up to tonight? Working?
If I go I’ll drive myself. I’ll be done exams by then, I’ll just have to get the car.
I am going to kill you…
anyone going to clocktower tonight?
This Hip-Hop minute is brought to you by Sage Francis - Majority Rule:
(hook)
I’ma take you back, take take you back
I’ma take you back, take take you back
I’ma take you back, take take you back
I’ma take you back, take take you back (W-W-W-Way Back!)
I’ma take you back, take take you back
I’ma take you back, take take you back
See, cuz it’s twisted…
In the future, scientists will prove that we never even existed
[Verse One]
I got lectured once while eating breakfast for lunch
Said dad to me "Reality ain’t nothing but a collective hunch
Whatever you want the truth to be, simply fool the masses
Attack them mentally with tools of power like the Masters
Get em in elementary school and college classes
Eventually you’ll overrule their cowardly asses
Don’t worry about society, they’re all horrible bastards"
With this knowledge I blast kids. stay dark like Howard’s glasses
I’m “Stern!” plus I rule with an iron fist
With no concern, it’s so cruel, where did I learn this?
It’s in my gene pool. For permanent bliss
It seems cool, only if you suffer from eternal ignorance
Internal innocence rejects external filth. Hurdle the guilt
My ancestors left. Dress with a traditional kilt
Curdled milk that’s under suspicion will get spilt
Ain’t no use crying. Who’s lying about the empire I built?
Another self proclaimed historian
With Einstein as his passenger, and a flux capacitor in his Delorean
Rewrote my past, taught me sin
When we spoke at last he caught me in the chin
There was no need to ask, I know he fought me to win
My broken task is born again, let a new war begin
I think he saw me grin. Played my ass like a sucka
Turned that brunch between me and my father into our last supper
[Chorus]
He’ll take us back, take take us back
He’ll take us back, take take us back (Take us back back!)
He’ll take us back, take take us back
He’ll take us back, take take us back (W-W-W-Way Back!)
See, cuz it’s twisted…
In the future, scientists will prove that we never even existed
[Verse Two]
So now I’m orphaned into this world of a rewritten past
Where they force my girl to cook and clean and force me to sit in class
The teacher laughs as he preaches math, beats me with a staff
Because the text we read expects us to bleed each paragraph
I speed through the chapter fast. My prospectful wife
Hangs her pride at half mast, force fed domestic life
Is giving her a fat ass…she can’t eat no more
"We’ll see who laughs last" is what she speaks so sure
as she sweeps the floor
Her bare feet are sore. I’d massage her toes
But she’s way too busy doing dirty laundry and washing my clothes (<---- Wow…)
This bastard ass took us back to the dark ages
My heart races. He’s got 1 out of 3 blacks locked in cages
Sage is heading for the mic, but they blocked the stages
Dopes took his notebook, said “Don’t look!” as they blotched the pages
Ignoramuses must have idiot-dildos stuck up in their anuses
Dominatrixes explain how pleasurable of a pain this is
I ain’t with this game of his.I’m looking for a loophole
Just because you look the part, don’t mean you can play it, ask Manute Bol (<— Wow again…)
My absolute role is to save whatever is left of me
The last of my true soul, so I dress up like the referee
To get the coach on every bench pissed
They approach me with a clenched fist
So I throw up their past lives and say, "Catch this!“
They get the drift, but fans rush the court
Propaganda programs they hold in their hands
brain washed and flushed their thought
Now it’s a blood sport. My girl ain’t with this strange land
She was fronting like a cheerleader as she figured out the game plan
Made peeks at play sheets, memorized them like the Rain Man
Conducted her own brain scan, then reversed the chain of command
"She learned the formulas?” The story is unraveling
She seduced Einstein by dressing up like Marilyn
Monroe. now she’s got a Manson look in her eyes
And a grin that’s stretching so wide.damn, son, I’m petrified!
[Chorus]
She’ll take us back, take take us back
She’ll take us back, take take us back (Take us back back!)
She’ll take us back, take take us back
She’ll take us back, take take us back(W-W-W-Way Back!)
See, cuz it’s twisted…
In the future scientists will prove that we never even exsssss…
I love it. Its like Saul Williams with less ego and more insight.
On a completely different note,

Jesus Christ Crooked I is ill.
Like… if you know your hiphop, then you know most if not all of these beats, and he just beasts on all of them so hard.
Good stuff.
30+ year old Einstein wouldn’t have gone into that Delorean though…unless he was hijacked… He basically expressed the exact same sentiments of most of everything above that line. It’s too bad he has been used as a passenger in that way though…I feel bad, like everything else - he’s been hijacked.
The ironic thing is that it isn’t the Majority rule on a root level (and Sage would be dumb to think of it that way). It’s how the small, tiny minority control the majority by manipulating the majority’s mind. THe majorities mind then creates the collective reality and that’s how you get “well everyone knows that.” type of dealy.
Jay, ever read ‘Necessary Illusions’ and/or ‘Manufacturing Consent’?
They’re both by Noam Chomsky and essentially outline the means by which said minorities preserve the delimitation of “truth” most agreeable to their interests.
Fantastic reads; I have PDFs and hard copies of both books lying around here somewhere. heh
I take back what I said before: Mortal Kombat 3 is THE best MK! However, if I didn’t have the UMK3 strategy guide, I would not be saying that, probably. I mastered (pretty much, more or less, as far as MK goes) Liu Kang and Sindel! Sindel is a beast: she plays like Akuma in that she jumps around using air fireballs for cheese. Bionic Scream is beasting too: free button-link combo (LK,HP,HP,LP,HK) or HP,HP,D+HP, jumping LK, D,D/F+LK (fireball in air). Also, jumping in LK to air fireball is a 2-hit 24% Damage Combo! Its probably also a combo to jump in LK, U/F+LK to air fireball, I just realized while writing this! Too good!
Liu Kang is good too: Run, Button Link LK,LK,HK,B+LK is 25% Damage! Also it sends them across the sctreen far away, allowing Liu to Fireball them senseless on get-up. Bicycle kick, Run in + HP,HP,BL,LK,LK,HK,B+LK is beast too with Liu Kang.
In other forest31 news, I bought Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 1 for PC. Kind of like GRAW 2 meets Gears of War meets Counter-Strike. A great game that I will cherish for years to come :lovin:
Google search “Einstein quotes” and you’ll find some extremely fascinating perspectives on reality.
That’s basically what he’s talking about in the first verse: “Whatever you want the truth to be, simply fool the masses.”
Sure, can’t say no to books. PDF would be perfect (since I have no idea as to when I will read them) - I’ll definetly grab those off you.
yea I know but him taking that as the masses rule on a root level would be wrong because it’s only when the stage is set and those overstanding the stage have control. He doesn’t mention a controlling body (not like it’s that relavent to the point of the song), but it does seem like he gets what’s happening anyway…
The odds of him not knowing this are hella low considering the content (which is why I said he’d have to be dumb but more specifically has info but doesn’t see where the whole picture).
I would assume he knows very well. The irony stands on the fact that the Majority appear to rule, when it’s the Minority that really do.
Damn we live in a completely inversed way of life than natural. This songs points that out big time.
Yeah man, thanks for the random thought-provoking post Sam
I like the art style.

Alright, 3s tomorrow night for all who are interested.

Ehsan and Jon, you guys owe me some games.
My Oro has been unstoppable lately… he awaits the opportunity to pull out that second arm and stone you more than you’ve ever been stoned before (except for maybe Dave)
