Talib Kweli & Novel - "I Am"


    

Desc: (Verse 1-Novel) I am, reverends' future black president. I'm what you see rollin' every day through your resident Windows tinted, young and relentless To the cops, I'm a suspect that fits the description But I am, not a hoodlum, I'm not an abuser I'm sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur. I've seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came Rappers are next-generation shit but I am change. At the age of 21 they said I'd be non-existent, It's that, or pleading the trial or being convicted. I guess since I'm alive then I beat the statistics Y'all can all kiss my ass when I am rich. I'm the sun, I'm light, I'm much more than your bling or the shine off your ice I'm as, free as a spirit, I'm as fly as a bird I'm whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard Cause I am... (Chorus) I am I am I am Eternal to the light I am I am I'm a product of the ghetto, my father's boy, A brother to my sister, my mother's pride and joy, I am I am I am I am The king of all knights I am I am I'm the blade of the knife, that slaughtered the lamb The greatest sacrifice, the son of Abraham (Verse 2-Talib Kweli) I am C-E-O, H-N-I-C B-K-M-C, Talib Kweli My name roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P See I am at touch, you can IM me. I'm not nobody's toy, I'm not nobody's boy I am someone's man, I am someone's joy I am the voice, I am the truth I am the choice, I am the proof. Like my man from the D Gon' stand on my feet I am the branch, from the family tree A baby to the leaves, carriers of the seeds To carry on the name, to make a man complete. De La Soul said I am a beat I'm not a dream, I'm not a fantasy Right here in the flesh, I am out of this world, I am something else I am something lived, I am something felt. (repeat chorus) Thanks to Kevin H. for the lyrics and for introducing the song to me! I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it, and I couldn't find it anywhere on YouTube. So I decided to post it myself, and add it to my favorites/playlist so I could get a faster access to it. I know it's not my usual "thing", but I couldn't help it. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do!

The show has been renewed for a third season. Set and produced in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst. Dexter has received considerable critical acclaim and has won two Emmys in technical categories, and has also generated public controversies concerning its content and promotion.

FX hold lifetime rights to the first run of every season in the UK. ITV aired the second run of season 1 on Wednesday February 27 at 10:35pm, to a much larger potential audience than the cable and satellite only FX. In the UK Dexter season 2 will start on July 6 on FX In LatinAmerica Movie City (Premium Channel) aired the first season in 2007, and on March, 2008 FOX Latinamerica premieres the series for the first time in a basic cable network in the region.

The 13th Warrior 1


    

Desc: The 13th Warrior is a 1999 action film based on Michael Crichton's novel Eaters of the Dead, directed by John McTiernan and an uncredited Crichton, and starring Antonio Banderas as Ahmad ibn Fadlan and Vladimir Kulich as Buliwyf (Beowulf). The 13th Warrior was a disappointment at the box office, earning only US$61,698,899 worldwide. The novel upon which the film is based and loosely inspired by Richard Frye's translation of ibn Fadlan's non-fictional account of his travels up the river Volga in the tenth century. The plot is largely a modernized retelling of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf, with elements added from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights and Seven Samurai. The film goes to some pains to achieve a historical atmosphere, including use of Arabic, Norwegian and Latin dialogue. The plot centers on Banderas' character, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, who angers an influential noble in Baghdad and is commanded by the Caliph to serve as "ambassador to the North"—i.e., is expelled from the city—as a result. Traveling with Melchisidek (Omar Sharif), an old friend of his father, he meets a shipload of Viking raiders whose minor king has just died. The language barrier is awkward, as Ahmed speaks only Arabic and most of the Vikings speak only Norse. Melchisidek and Herger, the Vikings' skald, both speak Latin and communication is established. After Buliwyf becomes the new leader, a bewildered youth enters the camp and requests aid for his distant village, threatened by an old and supernatural force. Through the commands of an oracle, it is decided that exactly thirteen men must go to face this danger, and that the thirteenth must not be a Norseman; thus Ahmed is recruited. Ahmed learns Norse quickly by sitting amongst the group and listening intently to their conversation, eventually beginning to understand what they are saying. He feels he has to prove himself to the uniformly huge Vikings, who mock him for his physical weakness and his small Arabian horse, but his fast learning of their language, ingenuity, and horsemanship eventually earns their respect and friendship. The foe, known as the Wendol, have the appearance of both man and bear, although no bodies are left behind after their first nocturnal clash. In fact they do resemble pre-homo sapiens affecting the appearance of bears to confuse and instill fear into their enemies. Losing members of their small force with each battle, and finding the settlement indefensible, Buliwyf opts to track the Wendol to their lair and attack them. Buliwyf and the remaining warriors track the Wendol, and uncover that they are cannibals; a chamber in the Wendol lair is full of human bones that have been gnawed upon. Buliwyf kills the Mother of the Wendol, but is poisoned by her. Upon discovering that the warriors have entered the lair, the Wendol force them to submerge into a pool which leads out to the cliffs by the sea. The last remaining warriors return to the village and prepare for a final battle. The Wendol appear and both engage in an epic battle. Buliwyf kills the leader of the Wendol and they retreat, defeated. Order is restored to the village, but only after Buliwyf dies from the poison. Ahmad ibn Fadlan returns to his homeland, thankful to the Norse for helping him to "become a man, and a useful servant of God".
