Carrying on from yesterdays post on immortal lyrics, heres a video I came across from a Toronto local (Kanwer Singh) that really hits on all the local social issues that have been happening over the past year.
From talking about kids these days, and the whole ghetto mentality that has engulfed many of them, to the epidemic on the West with the slaying’s of the Bibian by there husbands, and families.
Apparently this video is only a prelude to a bigger and longer documentary or so I’m told that is dropping in July of 2008, so definitely keep an eye out for that.
Thanks to Harp who linked this video the other day, Most folk aren’t familiar with Immortal Technique because he hasn’t received any notable main stream recognition. For those who are familiar with him, he’s probably one of the top underground MC’s still around, who actually makes an effort to bring social issues to the forefront and focal point of his music.
Either way, check out this freestyle from earlier where he gives a special shout out to the Singhs and 84 its all pretty graphic so the normal disclaimer applies to those with sensitive ears.
It’s not his greatest track by any means, but you got love the shout out he gives..
Got to hand it to sarpanch sahib and his pind for making The Toronto Star and Global TV last year, and and Sun this year. Seems like the Pindu’s are making a real go at Bhatia’s super fan status.
Racist Insults Results In Massive Beat-Down In Montreal.
This was recorded last night in downtown Montreal. Apparently, 2 young men were hurling racist insults at a group of black people. The end result was that they got the crap kicked out of them, and rightly so.
What were they thinking?!?
I wouldn’t have been surprised if I read this about Malton, or even New Rexdale, but I have to say that the fact it was Dixie that got its charitable status stripped did come as bit of a surprise. A while back I posted wondering where the funds were going, but I was getting the vibe that the new committee had really taken up office and really started to clean things up. Also considering Dixie’s political muscle at both Federal and Provincial levels you would think that they’d be the most immune and well protected when shit hit the proverbial fan.
All the same, when the Feds come a knocking it seems that the biggest are the first to get noticed. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is in result to the Conservatives politicking over the whole anti Khalistan up-risal that’s been front and center in the usual papers, merly using this as an opportunity to force the Liberals gambit by either having them stand with the alleged terrorists, or distancing themselves from the community when they know they’ll be looking for support the most. Either way the Liberals won’t be getting out of this one looking like the heroes that they had been in the past.
Also knowing our community, and knowing the political struggle thats been taking place at Dixie for the last little while, this may very well have been a calculated attack at the Guru Ghar and by proxy its current committee by even more internal and nefarious members in an attempt to strike there blow, when they could. Wouldn’t put it past someone to start snitching to the Feds second they got there hands on some accounting. I’m all for accountability within our Guru Ghars, but it needs to come from within and not from without.
Should be interesting to see what happens next, and what cards are played by whom. Especially with the Downtown Nagar Kirtan (a time when Dixie would usually get large donations from Sangat) being only a few days away.
In response to the Sarpanch’s NBA Playoffs East & West picks here they are.
Firstly gotta start with the East because like Bigs said, “If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the East…I live out there, so don’t go there”
East
Celtics - 4 Games
Cavs - 6 Games
Pistons - 4 Games
Raptors - 6 Games
West
Lakers - 6 Games
Jazz - 7 Games
Hornets - 7 Games
Suns - 6 Games
The West without saying will be insane, every series possible is worthy of a conference final in the past. As for the east I think we’ll be looking at a Celtics, Piston domination.
For bonus points I’m giving the finals to the Celtics, even though I’d much rather see the Suns come out on top. If they can’t do it this year, I don’t see them being able to do it in the next 5, at least not with there current who have been making runs at the big show for the last 4 years.
