Show You My Alien By: SideStreet KED

From The Mixtape "Wasted Genius" By SideStreet KED
Do You wanna go tonight,
on a spaceship ride?
Somewhere past the moon?
I'll show you my Alien side...

Cant you see
Just you & me
lost in this love eternally?
Nobody else,
I don't wanna share,
I just want you all to myself.
Is it wrong to write these songs,
inspired by Venetian poems
underneath the Martian sun?
Like purple violets light the sky,
like riding comets thru the sky,
come with me on this funky ride.
Don't pack no bags
won't need a thing
& we don't pay no baggage fee's,
we're travelling like pure light beams...

Do You wanna go tonight,
on a spaceship ride?
Somewhere past the moon?
I'll show you my Alien side...

Let's travel light
through space & time.
Let time unravel
in our minds.
Like ribbons waving in the sky
your beauty's beheld in my eye.
Listen, hear the angels sing?
they serenade your very being.
My love is King, I crowned you Queen.
I propose to you with Saturn's rings,
won't you come & go with me?
I'll take you to my galaxy.
Don't pack no bags
won't need a thing
& we don't pay no baggage fee's,
we're travelling like pure light beams...

Do You wanna go tonight,
on a spaceship ride?
Somewhere past the moon?
I'll show you my Alien side...

Why don't we just go away?
I'll take you to another place.
Baby, we can cruise the stars.
You ever been to outer space?
Like an out-of-body experience,
mind, body & spirit
all sharing the same experience.
Don't you wanna go with me,
fly through space beyond light speed,
let your hair blow in the solar breeze?
Don't pack no bags
won't need a thing.
I promise this is not a dream.
We're travelling like pure light beams...

Do You wanna go tonight,
on a spaceship ride?
Somewhere past the moon?
I'll show you my Alien side...

A Tall Glass of Water...

Some women are like food,
They only satisfy you until the next meal comes along.
Some women are like candy,
Sweet & fun but, bad for you.
Some women are like vegetables,
Good for you but, they lack excitement.
some women are like fruit,
sweet & full of life but,
lacking substance.
However, a wife is like a glass of water.
She's the one you can't live without...

Hey! Broke Nigga... Pay Attention!!!

I grew up in Los Angeles, California during the 80s & 90s when Southern California's Gang Violence was at an all time high.



Most people that know anything about hip hop or rap music know of the notorious Compton, Ca popularized in the 80s by N.W.A. The godfathers of west coast gangster rap & Long Beach, Ca that was later made famous by Dr. Dre's protegé Snoop Dogg but, few have heard of the city that lies between the two called Carson, Ca.



It doesn't matter that Carson has produced more Professional Athletes, Actors & Entertainers than both Compton or Long Beach it also doesn't matter that Carson has produced more business professionals, educators, innovators and community leaders than Compton or Long Beach as well. The only thing that seems to matter when it comes to the popularity of the 3 cities in comparison is which one has produced the most popular rapper.



Carson has one of the richest industrial histories in Southern California as well producing most everything from refined oil to skin and hair care products. It is also the home of the Good Year Blimp and host of the 1st airshow ever. With such a rich history and culture to its credit, it would seem that the city would be more known across the country but, thanks to the media's negative depiction of hip hop, rap and west coast gang violence this once affluent city is relatively unknown outside of Los Angeles county and virtually non existent to people across the country.



It seems to me that there are two worlds that co exist in Los Angeles. There's the popular idea of Los Angeles being a place where the beautiful people of the world enjoy fun and sun, Beverly Hills, the beach and Hollywood. Then there's also the fame of the L.A. Underworld known for drugs, gang violence and the massive homeless population.



Carson is no exception to this dichotomy. On the surface It is known as being one of the cleaner cities in Los Angelean sub urbia but also suffers the same downfall as its neighboring cities. In the early 60's, the more well to do members of the black community migrated to cities like Carson in search of a clean and wholesome environment to settle down and raise children but as the effects of Regonomics took hold of the nations economy in the early 80s we began to see a drastic change in lower and middle class communities across the nation and with the black panther party being destroyed by political persecution and the flood of heroin on the streets, there was no longer a buffer to protect the black community from the spread of crack cocaine, aids, gang violence and it's ultimate demise.



Soon the cities that make up Los Angeles County took a turn for the worse. Once taking pride in the advancements that were made during the 60s & 70s with more and more black people being home owners and business professionals, these communities soon started to pride themselves on who had the most street credit and which gang "put in the most work".



Now, the reputation of being "Real" seems to be all that matters and without a publicly known figure with a vocal role in commercial media to popularize the city once considered to be a beacon of African American achievement... We are left with only the stereotypical images Los Angeles County being full of Khaki Sagging Gangsters getting drunk In front of liquor stores, Esés & Low Riders "bending corners" & "hittin' switches", Baby Mommas, Bitches and Hood Rats. Although, California is diverse enough to house all of these stereotypes and more. I am here to represent the "more".



I am a product of my environment. I am a product of Carson, Ca. Support my movement and help shake the mental slavery placed on our brains by the Media and Corporate America that continuously bombard our minds with the negative imagery used to promote poisonous products to our youth, our families and our communities. Stand & fight for the betterment of our future!!!

Ex Ámenté:

Ex Ámenté:

An urbanized guerilla warfare tactic known for using any and or all forms of art, music and poetry to change the social and or economic conditions of oppressed peoples by introducing new thoughts and concepts into society.



This word and concept came to me in a dream last night.

I dreamed that I was riding in a car with a friend of mines late at night and was stopped by law enforcement at what appeared to be a checkpoint.



We were detained and interrogated and at 1st it seemed that the friend was the one they were harassing. The officers were searching through the contents of the car and asking all types of questions from where we were going to where we were coming from. Then to my surprise, while they were searching the car they started pulling out my promo material. It was SideStreet KED flyers and Stickers, Posters and T Shirts. After the officers conferenced about the promo items they began to direct their questions to me... "are you SideStreet KED? Does this belong to you?" etc... Quickly, I realized that my "friend" was one of them! I felt betrayed.



The "friend" starts telling the other officers that indeed I was SideStreet KED and that the items did belong to me so, they immediately began to search my person and place me in custody. Confused I asked what crime had I committed and what was so illegal about my promotional material? The officer replied that my promo was considered to be "Ex Ámenté". Ofcourse, never having heard that word before I asked what exactly was "Ex Ámenté" and they replied "Look it up!". One cop even went as far as to tell me that everything in this world is ran by them and it's just a waste of time for me to focus energy on anything that's considered to spiritual because "there is nothing after death" so I may as well just focus on making money instead of trying to "fight for the people".



As they walked me to the back of the car I saw a motorcycle cop ride by and signal to the other officers with his right hand. The gesture lead me to believe that he was telling them to make the arrest. Instead the officer loosened the cuffs and started giving me instructions...

He took my shirt from me, kicked off one of my shoes, told me that once he released me he wanted me to keep walking and not to look back. After a few steps he pushed me down in some bushes and ran around a building that was on the corner. By the time I reached the corner he showed back up dressed like a bum and began to spray me with a water hose as if to give me the appearance of being homeless... I then walked a few miles home. at that point I was awaken from the dream.



Immediately, I reached for my phone and put "Ex Ámenté" into dictionary.com looking for a definition. Ofcourse, there wasnt one.

After thinking it over, I decided to claim the word and give it a definition based on how the word was used in my dream.

Ex Ámenté:

An urbanized guerilla warfare tactic known for using any and or all forms of art, music and poetry to change the social and or economic conditions of oppressed peoples by introducing new thoughts and concepts into society.

They Don't Want Me To Take A Shit...

They say opinions are like assholes... But, they don't want me to take a shit.



Anybody that knows me knows that I have no ill will towards anyone. I like to deal with people on an individual basis and not by generalized pre-conceived notions but admittedly I can be quite abrasive at times and I have a really big mouth.



Such was the case this past Saturday night... I was in rare form. From the stage at The Apache Cafe I made a comment to the audience which in my mind was about my music and my artistry which in turn offended some people in the crowd. After performing my songs "Gnarly" & "Uncool" I felt it necessary to prepare a mostly all male (and what I considered to be a predominantly true school hip hop audience) for my next song "She Likes" (with all three being more so in the vain of alternative rock than hip hop) by stating... "I apologize in advance but, most of my songs are geared towards a female audience but, I'm assuming that most of you in here like women as well so we should all be able to enjoy the music... If not, then you're probably in the wrong place because the gay club is across the street. This is the hip hop club" (which if I may add, was a total fact. There is a gay club across the street from The Apache Cafe). Now, I do apologize to any one in the room that I may have offended because that was not my intent but hey, It was a joke and last I checked jokes are always a bit offensive in nature but, I guess that one hit a little too close to home.



Homosexually has always been somewhat of a taboo subject in the black community but in more recent years the subject has become increasingly popular and very open... Especially in Atlanta.



Personally, I could care less about the sexual orientation of another man as long as it doesn't involve me and honestly feel the same way when it comes to the sexual orientation of any woman. If she's not my sex partner why should I care if she's Gay? To me it's the same as a straight woman that's off the market per se. I give little consideration to who a straight person is having sex with in the comforts of their own homes so what makes a gay person any different? I actually feel that the terms gay and straight are misnomers in the 1st place. To refer to someone that has sex with someone of the opposite sex as "straight" denotes that people that choose to have sex with persons of the same sex are "crooked". On the flip side of that coin, referring to homosexual people as "gay people" denotes that non-homosexual people are unhappy. Seems to me that we are all just people that like to have sex but, the subject has become yet another wedge to get in the way of the re-unification of the oppressed... Commonly referred to as the "black community". As if we didn't already have enough social and economic differences to be separated by.



However, as an artist in America... I wholeheartedly believe in my freedom to speak my mind on any subject. Just because I like women doesnt mean that I have to hold my tongue when it comes to homosexuality. Just as me being born black doesn't take away my right to make comments concerning white people or any other ethnicity for that matter. I mean where does it stop? Does me being broke take away my freedom to comment on the wealthy? Does having a car take away my right to talk about people on the bus? I have opinions on a wide variety of subjects and all of them are just that... Opinions. However, I refuse to mask myself for the benefit of anyone. If I can't be honest with you then I don't see how we could be friends. If this blog offends you then stop reading it. Simple. I agree that I have a very wry since of humor and I tend to be very crass. That's just me and it's ok for you not to like it. I'm fine with that. What's not ok is for you to want me to suffocate myself so that you can feel better about yourself.

The Health Benefits of SugarCane Juice

So Today, I was at the Dekalb Farmers Market in Atlanta, Ga looking to grab a few items. I tend to bombard my body with various toxins on a daily basis but, the extreme eccentricity of my nature tends to make me a health nut as well. With that said, I am just as much into Herbology as I am into smoking & drinking (and for those of you that are more familiar with the part of me that makes up "SideStreet" you know how much I love to smoke and drink). Amongst the items on my list was Sugar Cane Juice. With my estranged son being a type 2 diabetic, I've done extensive studies on the benefits of Sugar Cane Juice over the past 2-3 years and was myself amazed by the properties contained in raw sugar.

While there, an older lady & a man and his wife (who herself was a Type 1 Diabetic began to ask me questions about the Juice after over hearing me speak so highly of it to another patron that standing in line before me so, it dawned on me that I should blog about it and share this information throughout my network... Enjoy!



It may sound completely ridiculous at first, but sugarcane juice is actually good for you. Though it is comprised purely of sugar, it is comprised of the right sugar; that is unrefined sugar. The juice is most widely consumed in Brazil, India and South East Asia, though today some 200 countries cultivate the crop. Sugarcane juice has a profound presence in the cultures and gastronomic histories of these regions; a primary indication that there must be something more than a sweet taste to this beverage that has kept it in the diet of variant cultures for so long.

Sugarcane is a field crop, and to many unaware of its identity, its appearance is remarkably that of tall field grass. It is a grass, though upon closer examination of the sugarcane stalk, it appears more in common with that of bamboo: thick and tough. The difference, however, from bamboo is that it contains---you guessed it---sugar. Though not the white powdery substance as we know it, but rather raw sugar. Juice can can be extracted from the stalk by sucking or chewing on an exposed end, though for quantity extraction, the cane must be pressed through a machine; an industrial juicer if you will.



Sugarcane juice is sugar in its basic form: raw. Raw sugar is naturally good for the body, as it contains nutrients and minerals. These are visible by natural brown tint and notably larger size of the crystal. Refined sugar has been stripped of the nutrients and minerals, therefore a process similar to the "bleaching" process of wheat flour. Refined sugar is pure carbohydrate and contains no other nutritional value, and during the refinement picks up unnatural chemicals such as phosphoric acid, sulfur dioxide and formic acid.



As raw sugar contains no simple sugars, sugarcane juice has a relatively low glycemic index (the effect a carbohydrate has on blood glucose levels), which keeps the body's metabolism healthy and helps maintain a healthy body weight. Roughly one teaspoon of raw sugar contains only eleven calories. The natural minerals and vitamins found in sugarcane are exceedingly valuable. Phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. Sugarcane is an alkalizing substance, and therefore is beneficial at fighting cancer. Studies have shown that it has proven an effective at fighting prostate and breast cancer cells. Furthermore, it is exceptionally beneficial for rehydration as it not only cools the body but also energizes with a high quantity of useful carbohydrates and protein. The nutrients found in sugarcane are beneficial to inner organ functioning, including the kidneys, heart, brain and sex organs.

As it contains no simple sugars, sugarcane can be enjoyed by diabetics without worry. In diabetic and weight loss experimentation, the replacing of raw sugarcane juice for refined sugar and other sweeteners has shown positive results not only in stable glucose levels, but also in weight loss.



If possible, sugarcane juice is best enjoyed by sucking it from a raw stalk, or purchasing it freshly pressed from a vendor. If geographical location inhibits either, then there are a few commercial raw sugarcane juice products available, such as Raw Cane Superjuice. For an alternative flavor, sugarcane juice can be spiced up with lemon, ginger or coconut water.
