Brands trying to get my broke ass to pay double the money for fairtrade / organic stuff when I bet much of the extra goes straight to the supposedly 'do-gooder' corp,, £4 for a Starbucks coffee? pfft. Oh yeah and our sewerage system flushing it all out to sea, poisoning aquatic life when it'd be...
Sorry guys, I apologise if this is in the wrong forum for serious discussion then I'm seriously wrong - but seriously I just clicked on the new posts thing when i got on here, and this subject came up. Now suddenly I'm Esiam's homeboy? I read the dudes post and yet still didnt get what IRL means...

personally it seems far more logical that 'Satan' is mostly a thing man created as a kind of 'sick note'. All the mythologies cool if you're into it, but I need to keep responsibility for my own actions and decisions for or against temptations, not blame them on Satan.. And it's just my opinion...
Agreed - I mean, if anyone else out there's really interested in how the Wu came to be, personally I don't think 'The Wu Tang Manual's a patch on Rza's 'The Tao of Wu', and it perfectly elaborates on his initial plans as 'The Abbot' and justifies him being FAR from the weakest link! Even his...
In case ya didn't see it, he was recently at the OWS protests, I appreciated what he had to say, which is pretty standard as far as Immortal Technique goes.
It's just real hard for me to even like diddy now,, growing up as a kid in that era it just always seemed like even if the WEST EAST thing seems like such BS now, Pac was incredible, as was The Wu, who I believe Tupac loved and even wanted on Deathrow East (?). Anyway, I'm gonna just say peace...
