It is September 4th/2022 and I just learn that  Skelly from Israel Vibration passed away.  A couple years ago I wrote for Israel Vibration.  I like to share it with you. It’s called, From The Bush: Israel Vibration True Black Disabled Brotherhood

From The Bush: Israel Vibration True Black Disabled Brotherhood

Verse1
From the bush, they came like Moses
With dreadlocks but with no socks
From the school of hard knocks
They grew from the concrete like roses

Chorus
Before DJ Kool Herc    
Jamaica in the fifties Polio infected the island
Skelly, Wise & Apple are Israel Vibration
got kicked out of Mona Rehabilitation Center cause their religious beliefs in Rasta
homeless, poor & disabled
began to sing on the streets
now they are the Fathers of Reggae

Verse 2
Held onto their Rastafarian faith
Seeing them on stage
Three Black disabled men gave me faith
Their story got my inside boiling over with rage

Verse 3
Israel Vibration true Black disabled brotherhood
From Kingston to the Bronx
Roots Reggae gave beats to Hip-Hop
Three sets of crutches provided break beat like clip-clop clip clop

Verse 4
Today I’ll say
Israel Vibration please come my way
Show us that mirror that looks like us
From the streets to the stage in their story what’s on the next page

Outro
From the bush, they came like Moses
With dreadlocks but with no socks

From The Bush: Israel Vibration True Black Disabled Brotherhood

I want to share it
Let me be your cupid
Shower you from up above
Nothing like Kripple love

In every position
Make it accessible need some lotion
So smooth take you to the moon
On the wings of a dove is Kripple love

I want to share it
Let me be your cupid
Shower you from up above
Nothing like Kripple love

Cerebral palsy is the destination
The g spot it’s your hand no more masturbation
The right speed is all i need
Love song in my CP speech

Hey you, girl
Welcome to my world
Bump n grind
It’s about time

You so fine
Candlelight dinner with red wine
Getting freaky under the moonlight
Until the sun rise

I want to share it
Let me be your cupid
Shower you from up above
Nothing like Kripple love

Cerebral palsy is the destination
The g spot it’s your hand no more masturbation
The right speed is all i need
Love song in my CP speech

Hey you, girl
Welcome to my world
Bump n grind
It’s about time

You so fine
Candlelight dinner with red wine
Getting freaky under the moonlight
Until the sun rise

Kripple Love (Slow Jam)

This week we speak to Program Manager for KGNU Community Radio, and founder of the decades strong Hip Hop group Council of Word, Dave Ashton about the legacy of David Jolicoeur aka Trugoy the Dove, who passed away last week, and his groundbreaking Hip-Hop group De La Soul. 

We also have ‘Choice Words’ about this year’s Super Bowl.” We got ‘Just Stand Up’ and 'Just Sit Down’ awards to Ron DeSantis for banning books and being an awful governor and person and the U.S. alpine ski team for their climate change-themed uniforms they put out, bringing awareness to such an important issue.

Remembering David Jolicoeur aka Trugoy the Dove

Kripping The Kirriculum From The Roots

All this talk, pedagogies and books
Using rhymes and hooks
Can’t grow if you don’t get to the roots
Hip-Hop are the leaves of this tree

Teachers want to see pride
They might have to feel uncomfortable at times
Have to deal with their own racism & ableism
Because we know that most teachers are White

All this talk pedagogies and books
Using rhymes and hooks
Can’t grow if you don’t get to the roots
Hip-Hop are the leaves of this tree

Way before the birth of an industry
When the circus were not animals but humans
Behind bars and in cages
Don’t try to control the student’s rage

Let them feel their ancestors anger
That lead to a lot of creative answers
How they made a career
The moans of the Blues let them hear

Talk about Black respectability politics
That pushed out Black disabled men
From the church to the streets, it’s no trick
This is only the beginning and there’s no end

You can’t go pass Jazz
Way before Bluegrass
Al Hibbler marching with MLK Jr
Protest music in another era

Young, old don’t care about your age
Everybody was hip in the Jazz age
People thought Rahsaan Roland Kirk was a freak
So he rap it in Freaks For The Festival

This poem is for my peoples
No textbooks field trip to a freakshow
This is the the original Crip walk so let’s go
Tookie told me the truth

I can’t & don’t stand for the pledge of allegiance
Give me Colin Kaepernick
And F coons like Jay Z
Can’t make it to last letter in the alphabet, put me to sleep zzzz

Let’s get back to the subject
Krippling The Kirriculum
Evicting all White women
From special education

This is my creation
Kripping PE Fight the Power
To Fight Black Ableism
Got read of the White gaze
But Black people why r you still in a haze

What Black disabled man can’t be the teacher
All of you are internalize haters
We don’t need the White man
He played the old game, divide and conquer

Got us hypnotize
It’s not a surprise
When the pain becomes a 9 to 5
Even after Covid back to the old times

No not trump’s old time
While Apple kicks us into virtual future
Mother Nature was healing during Covid
No need for college campus everything is on zoom

Welcome to Kripdome
Once again
Kripping PE’s Welcome to the Terrordome
Krip-Hop is not your friend

Give out grades
And you all flunk
You just got punk
Still in a haze it’s called Krip-Hop funk

From the roots
Stumping with our steal braces
In our steel toe boots
Mace in your face

Can’t truss it
Watch your step
King Kunta with one foot
Got a bone to pick

Krip-Hop class
Taught by Mr. Glass
Looking sharp
While he kills your ass

Leroy, why you went dark
I learn by swimming with sharks
You, put me off of Norah’s arch
It’s what you did to me from the start

By The Black Kripple

Krippping The Kirriculum

Was it an inside job
Was it an undercover White man name bob
Did the Ford Foundation turned it into a 9 to 5 job
Was it academia or the mainstream media
Was it White disabled women
Did certain people get paid off
Was it divide and conquer
Did it explode from the inside out
Why nobody called it out
Was it that hush hush money
That split the community
Now it has been pimped out
By everyone except for Black and Brown
It’s even at the White House
Caught with the cheese trap like a mouse
Is it too late to save
They got Stacey on a quarter
She is shouting, “nooooo” from the grave
Who didn’t killed Disability Justice
Even the people who ate off of it
But remain silent
While the abuse ran rampant
Just sit back and watch the slaughter
Killing each other
Disability Justice is a corpse
Left to rot
Who who was it you
The question will never be answered

NO Transcript of the interview because space limits.

“The Strength Of A Man”
(Robert Temple, Jr. & Leroy F. Moore)

Chorus:	The Strength Of A Man…Black disabled and masculine The Strength Of A Man…I’m black…I’m proud and masculine

Verse 1:	By whose eyes do we see perfection
		By what standard are we judged…in need of correction
		Now tell me cause I don’t quite understand
		Am I less than a man…cause I don’t fit the scheme of your plan

Chant 1:	What makes you feel…you’re better than me
		Is it a misconception of my sexuality
		It’s hard to grasp your reality
		God made you…unique from me
		Look deeper…and you will see
 		The truth within my identity

Chorus:	The Strength Of A Man…Black disabled and masculine
		The Strength Of A Man…I’m black…I’m proud and masculine

Verse 2:	Come walk along this lonely path with me
		I’m much more than just a man…I’m mystery
		Come experience…what this life has to share
		Open your heart and your mind…and see this man in here

Chant 1:	What makes you feel…you’re better than me
		Is it a misconception of my sexuality
		It’s hard to grasp your reality
		God made you…unique from me
		Look deeper…and you will see
 		The truth within my identity

Chorus:	The Strength Of A Man…Black disabled and masculine
		The Strength Of A Man…I’m black…I’m proud and masculine

Rap:	Redefine the masculine…is more than a body
		Displaying my sexuality to society
		Go deeper inside discover the real strength of a man 
		Black disabled…yeah I’m masculine
		You see society…try to put us down
		But you just can’t keep…a good man down 
		This is a message to all my black disabled brothers 
		Feel you masculinity…and step into your sexuality 

Repeat Chant
