Real friends pt 1


Real friends 
 The new ye song 
That's come along at the right time

Real friends how many of us have em
How many of us are em

This is something glaring obvious when you are realigning sights 
Climbing heights 
Performing feats and enduring human gruelling hikes

How many real friends do we have
They say you can count them on one hand

But by that logic that means there are some fake friends masquerading as real friends 

Whether that is us or not

How many call you and ask you how are you doing 

For me that never happens 
I don't even get comments on these posts

How many times have we heard I was just thinking of you

The thing is with fakery
Is that we all have time 
We either give it away cheaply or expensively
And pleasures are always accounted for 

Busy is thrown around a lot but 
How many of us are really busy 
Where we too busy to eat or go to the lavatory 
No we are not 
But we can be sped up and so we prioritise people in our eyes

We see people everyday but the question of validity is who they turn out to be 
And if we could interchange them 
Or make time for others 

Then there is the fact as you are growing 
Others dont want to be in your shadow 
Oak trees to dandelions

the arrogance of the spectator aka kanye and relation




so the relation between the spectator and the spectacle
it is portrayed as co dependant and also not

and this the theme of todays post
for in many other places this theme has caused tension and still does such
as in the realm of sports



and many of you will be pick up the similarities in these two people
deemed as entertainers

but they quick to let you know they are also two
other things
black and human or individuals

and this has been foundation if you will of many different attitudes towards them

for not being like others and not staying in a box
and also just being unpredictable

but also why they are such acclaimed stars

but also with these individuals they know how the spectator is
so can bring them to joy and also show them their selves

and with the spectacle
the spectator can frame it into another realm
outside of the realm of the stage or the pitch

for the spectator thinks they own the spectacle
but with balotelli or kanye
they defy that
and it is in effect flipped that they own the spectator for viewing their spectacle
and that they seem to not care about the spectator
and their insecurities
or their codes of conduct

which puts weight and hate upon their shoulders



but they also see that the spectacle does not mean they should lose their individuality and humanity
and you cannot praise them for their talent
and then hate upon their talents abode
their dark skin

and the one thing the spectator has become is greedy from being given all the attention
and having many bend over backwards for them

but they do not how to feel when the spectacle bypasses them
and makes music for themselves or for another group not present
their homogeneous group

and the spectacle must not be swayed by the spectators for they are easily swayed by emotion
one minute praising next booing

and that some of it is a facade
they will praise you
then hate upon your culture or your people
which is hate at you
and you are reminded when you fail and that hate is sent your way

but the arrogance of the spectator is being fueled

and in hip hop you have people
spectating
and believing their are the driving force

but you cannot buy into a movement or a culture
a tourist is a tourist even if they know a few or the words of the natives
or wears its traditional dress

only when you identify yourself as such
so an attack on the culture is an attack on you
and the attackers see you as an enemy even though you may be able to filter into their crowd



for comedy is another place where spectators try to dictate
as with heckling

but spectators are not the defining factor of the spectacle

for spectators come ago and change with the seasons
but their are fans who critique you for your betterment

and that if you lose your platform or before your platform were there and will be there after

and kanye west new song is the example of this

new slaves is addressing the elephant in the room



this is kanyes roots and this is kanye
and if you do not feel it then it is not for you and you are but a spectator
a fickle spec blowing with the wind blown by the media
quick to lift up and throw down

and think you have weight or power because your pieces of paper and bits of metal

but the spectacle is priceless
you have being paying to view it not to own it

and you praise kanye and care not for the up and coming kanyes
or for kanyes people
and you feel he should care for your opinion
or your money
that can be replaced
and he is not dependant on you

so the spectator is put in a position either to either graduate from a spectator to a supporter
or decend back in their seat as the a ember of the audience
and show us your true colours
