Be my Joneses

Be my Joneses

 

It was said that it is not so much important as to what goes into your mouth but what comes out of it, which is a maker of your character.  A very good word historically used as a negative connotation is Joneses meaning basically neighbor.  It is a saying to “keep up with the Joneses.”  Suggesting that you be in competition with your next door neighbor, sort of like they by a fence and you buy a more expensive fence, they buy a car and you buy a better car.

 

But in actuality the term Joneses is a friendly and non competitive term.  I call on the Hip Hop community to replace the terms “Nigger” and “bitch” with “Joneses.”  I call on them to say in there songs “be my Joneses.”  Because like Rev. AL Sharpton said, you are what you say you are.

 

Let us bring back a community to raise a child mentality and be truly neighbors and not allow ourselves to just simply be victims on the system.  A change in mentality is in our grasp, we can determine our destiny, by changing how we speak and therefore changing how we think.

 

It is like the new Mafia is a non profit organization for the betterment of our communities and not a self destructives movement of surviving by any means, because we are packed in the projects like sardines.  We have to address our circumstances and the situations we are facing such as the expansion of prisons, wars around the world and the AIDS pandemic; single parenthood, illiteracy and the symbolically castrated Blackman?

 

As simple as it may seem, a major step in the right direction as a new greeting of camaraderie (Friendship) is to stop calling your brothers or sisters Niggers and bitches and say “that is my Joneses.”  I call on major Hip Hop community to introduce this concept into their culture.  Personally I really like some Hip Hop and Rap music, but I am embarrassed by it; I think the term Joneses will sell more records and allow the music to reach more homes.  At least consider it. And most importantly it would create a safer community and brotherly and sisterly love among our youth.

The PTS Movement & Durty Ground under one Umbrella

The PTS Movement & Durty Ground under one Umbrella

 

First of all, I give my condolences to the Jackson Family.  Michael Jackson will be missed by many.  He was an excellent entertainer.  However I do not know what Bible they read and I will leave it at that.  There was a subliminal statement made at his burial and I am not feeling it.

 

The network is opening wide as members of the PTS Movement are returning home and the Durty ground is about to return to the studio in a collaboration.  I am personally working with members of the PTS Movement, which is undergoing a name change, to better represent who they are and what they are about now.

 

The Movement is in the process of incorporating non profit, in an attempt to help reform other returning convicted felons, to end the revolving door through a form of spiritual street savvy rap.   Both teams are street wise, one lead by the experiences of long term prison incarceration and the other the Durty Ground led by the teaches of the Freemasonic principles of learning from the mistakes of others.  Both crews are well taught in their own ways and in common they have the ambition, plan of action and skills as they are determined to work as a team and make their message be heard.

 

The message and the preservation of life are on the top of the agenda and where there is goodwill, the profit on monetary gain is very foreseeable.  However this is not a movement about monetary profit alone, as we all know we have to eat to live and have a roof over are heads, but this is a down to earth congregation.  It is an introduction to the rap world as a new way of life in truly keeping it real as told by those who can both “tell you what not to do because they been through it” and “what to do because they did it.”  The unification of the PTS Movement and the Durty Ground under the Umbrella of the FPG is too real.  All I can say at this time is they are coming out in a hard way soon. 

 

 

 

 

 

Durty Ground Entertainment & PTS Underground Unite

Durty Ground Entertainment & PTS Underground Unite

 

First cousins Raymond Jones and Dahoud Smith found a middle ground and is working together in long distance collaboration, as Raymond and the Durty Crew are recording the poetic words into lyrics and music known as Rap, taking an East Coast swing and giving it some Dirty South slang.  Raymond Jones and Dahoud’s mother Egeria Jordan are in talks with Black Doll owned by Janet Jackson, to arrange these recording sessions to insure professional results in a studio located in South Carolina.  Raymond originally from the infamous Queensbridge, that produced artists such as NAS, Mob Deep and Noriega and Capone and producers Marly Marl who produced the Queensbridge  anthem and LES is working out of the South as Dahoud represents the Lower East Side (The LES) of New York City.

 

This project is projected to be released in the mid 2010 and will be introduced to the world by Janet Jackson, as Janet starts to sign other artist to her production company, as for distribution all the activities have not been disclosed, but as Dahoud told me we have big plans.  A few songs were recorded and mastered and I heard some of them and they are exciting and messaged filled, perhaps this is Dahoud’s redemption.  Raymond says, “I think Dahoud will be the next big thing in rap.”  Will 50 Cent, Jay Z and Eminem have to make room for new chart toppers, maybe not I mean Rick Ross and Kenya West is on a strong run and the message of the PTS Underground  is like night and day as they are not spiritual in genre they are out to save lives and curb criminal behavior in the black community, with a gangster twist only real gangsters can submit.  They are not all talk but paid for their actions on the streets of the past.

Janet Jackson 2010 Might Use New Songwriters

Janet Jackson 2010 Might Use New Songwriters

 

Janet Jackson album is to be released in 2010 and she is currently in the process of writing songs for the project.  What surprised me is that she is open to the use of material by new songwriters and not just writers with name recognition.  In particular there is this songwriter/Hip Hop artist named Dahoud Smith who put together some smoker lyrics and poems, that many have been put together with tight music and the result were spectacular.  Black Doll is in the process of attempting to have this stuff heard by industry leaders.

 

But not so fast, Janet is considering using some of this stuff for herself, she like all who auditioned Dahoud works found him to be a man of vision, on top of contemporary issues and touches the heart as he explains from experience how crime does not pay.  I am not going to giveaway any of his works at this time, but trust me the guy is talented, and who better to do some of his works than Janet.  Also Janet is in talks with Alicia Keys.

 

Dahoud may not get out of prison before his music hits the airwaves but he may be home soon enough and the Hip Hop/ Rap industry might have to make room for a new kingpin represented the LES (Lower Eastside) of New York City.  Dahoud R. Smith AKA Dahuzi will be in coming out soon.
