Here is a cool independent hiphop artist I found on Last.fm. I really like these tracks so far.

What are you doing for the next 21 minutes? Nothing? Perfect. My friend Shawn suggested a song to me by a band called Pretty Lights. I had never heard of them before but I have to confess I have listened to them every day for about 2 weeks straight now. Give them a listen, here are a few songs I love.
Pretty Lights – Let em know its time to go
Check out the hottie in the green bikini!
Pretty Lights – Aimin’ At Your Head
Pretty Lights – Sunday School
Pretty Lights – Can’t Stop Me Now

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
When what is happening in your world doesn’t make sense, when it doesn’t conform to your beliefs about how things should work, it’s time to ask hard questions. I live my life by the sentence; Always think for yourself, question everything always, and never stop fiending for knowledge. Read, think, and be free.
There is a song that sums up many of my beliefs, these lyrics may just change your life or change the way you think….
Sole – Dumb this Down
puppets, cannibals, satellite shadows,
businessmen, inmates, free thinkers, and cattle.
(dumb this down.)
birds on power lines, lion heads on mantles, pop idol pawns,
dead presidents, live poets, and dust mites.
(dumb this down.)
hookers on birth control, men on wanted posters, the women who love them,
dinosaurs, inbreds, and alien holograms.
(dumb this down.)
b-52 pilots and other airborne bacteria,
children born with stds and the sons of rich tyrants…
(dumb this down.)
bewildered herds, sharpen your teeth.
remember these three quotes.
only lie to cameras, cops, and crooks.
see kindness is within our power, but fondness is not.
under the false umbrella of hope, lives are sold, and people are bought.
somebody once told me: all men were created equal.
you’re not created in the womb,
you’re created in a classroom by rich people,
and history is written through the eyes of the butcher.
those who benefit from an ignorant public condescend and insult you.
they built you in the image of slaves; the freemen got locked up.
as long as they control the means of selling beliefs, no man is equal.
if there’s a policeman living in your head, you’re not free.
cuz if free trade were real, everyone would own a company.
all that is solid has melted into air,
it doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government will always get in.
all that was once solid has melted into air,
one hundred thousand lemmings can’t be wrong…
people join the army to pay for college.
in California residents go to college for free.
what will you do?
smoke weed on the weekends and go hiking?
or serve a white collar death squad of an oil company military.
everybody want heaven but nobody wants dead.
we are living in a rich man’s heaven, a poor man’s hell.
the middle class is dwindling, the population is doubling,
we are not living in Rome, we have been living in a fiefdom.
so when they remap all the genomes, remember.
it’s a hate free zone…
cuz money doesn’t care who burns it.
the word is a killer virus:
i’m not a happy plant, so i carry diseases.
so the ones who are starved of knowledge can someday flourish
and punish all those who stood between us.
quit your job, start a business and read more.
all that was once solid has melted into air.
they left the door open cuz the best illusions are half real.
puppets, cannibals, satellite shadows,
businessmen, inmates, free thinkers, and cattle.
(dumb this down.)
birds on power lines, lion heads on mantles, pop idol pawns,
dead presidents, live poets, and dust mites.
(dumb this down.)
hookers on birth control, men on wanted posters, the women who love them,
dinosaurs, inbreds, and alien holograms.
(dumb this down.)
b-52 pilots and other airborne bacteria,
children born with stds and the sons of rich tyrants…
(dumb this down.)
