Baba Zumbi

I never liked hip-hop.

Of all the hip-hop I've previously heard
since some time in the '70s
there were two songs I liked
and I've forgotten both of them.

Hip-hop, basically dance music, I always hated disco.

Current commercial hip-hop is basically misogynistic шitty disco with foul language and buggery thuggery attitude.

So, someone had to come along an' prove me completely wrong.

Here he is: Baba Zumbi & here Zion I Crew

No, I'm not saying he's sell-out commercial, I'm saying he's made music that's witty not шitty and I enjoy listening to.
Three of the first songs of his I've listened to gave me the spine-tingling-emotion thrill thing and off hand I can't think of any current musician that's done that.

AMoral Alphabet (excerpt)

D: The Dashing Danny Boy he
Will he do his best for D.
The early bird observed with awe
His back, glistening sweat he saw.
His look was gay, his voice was strong;
His tail was neither short nor long;
His trunk most elongated nose,
Was large enough I would suppose;
His teeth, as O. the Wilde allows
With tongue he covers like a cow's
He often liked and swished to pass
Long peaceful nights smoking' the Grass,
A splash of brute, mad love preferred
To pop in baths without a bird
His creature slimier than the snail
You see at once it will not fail
To joy gladly when he slid
And tumbled (as he nightly did).
Then leave off with the morning light
Returning home; served up just right.

MORAL
If you were born to walk the streets
Remain there; fool around.

E stands for Ego

Algernon

Young Algernon, the Proctor's son,
was playing with his loaded gun
pointed towards space
aimed violently and
blasted there!

His friend who was studying near,
the loud exaltation close heard
and recommended Algernon
be playing with his loaded gun.

A Trinity

Of three in One and One in three
My open mind was doubting thee
Till Bobby, George, and Kenny met
And all were one in body sweat

Forever Boo

Spirit spinning
on top of bottom
all haint
time you
live within
me

Nine things without space

Hisknight

Thunder ParT Not in Lightning

For sake 'n' forking from the old
love for the other lost
runny mouth
complaining all the time
unlike so manly
people
we respect

Dominique, mon bon Petit fils, garde-nous simples et gais

Dominique, mon bon Petit fils, garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer a nos freres la Vie et la Verite

To my partner’s queerying eye, I reply

To my partner’s queerying eye, I reply
since we met there’s been no one other than you
and old Writey.

When just a boy his acquaintance I made
his strength held my youth and he gladly gave
since then we’ve been inseparable.

Even you knew when we met long ago
he’d never able keep his hand off me
and time to time
you’ve made his acquaintance too.

Now is he old, gnarled, and worn from long use
I can not abandon him, nor would I
I hope he'll be with me rest of my life
I could not bare it any other way!

Blasted Can is Wend

That little cur
The hellish beast
With gaping one eye
Lies a heap in the east.

That cur slinks low
All the way to the west
All morals he's dropped
Afoot on his chest.

Richly human
Today I will sing,
Of the bastard cur
I'll not think a thing!
