Peace and Greetings to all who enter this page in seek of culture and wisdom of the ancients through
my path and Avenue in life's structure.
Iam now a 30 year old street cadet out of Jamaica N.Y. Located in the borough of Queens.
I have been trained in the Arts and crafts of the Hip-Hop culture and sciences since 1990. I was given
the name Optick One through my elders and generals as a tag through the graffiti Art culture, which at that time was at the
end of its golden era.
I was passed on the torch, in order to elevate and help up-lift all of humanity in the ghettos through
out the world and my universe, as the same applies for my self once all the work that I have strived for, as long as I have
finally starts paying off.
(AMEN)
Ever since, as a young man, having been passed on the scrolls of life, in
which I still carry on with this burden of special skills that has and still is being rejected by society, due to the
uncertainty and fate of what my elders have created and My craft that has not been understood by the general public, which
leads me to think that they, the mass population just wants to stay deaf and blind to the real reminders that ones should
have in order to keep every things at peace. For everything is equal and self in its own individual term and way. But as a
scene of it own? NO! There for I will have the opportunity to share with the world on what jewels I have to give, in regards
of what is good for me may as well be good for you all too. So in respects to all and all are in regards of doing so.( Let
Us Give Thanks).
Through the turmoil, I still grow and elevate further than the ones who believe, yet stray
away from the original duties of my kind. And that original duty is; Self Preservation, the original path that has been paved
and laid out brick by brick, and stone by stone through the strong foundations which have been built for us- and the youth.
We just have to realize it as us a component that connenvts to all parts which helps circulate feul to the engine, which
is us.
For many
years now, until the nation gets together for the end in order to reach new beginnings, The media has been playing a strong
role in every so-called Red Blooded American. And the Only role that is being played by the Wanna-be Patriotic Citizens of
this country and so-called super power, through her emotions, is fear. Fear of what?.........
Fear of the poor and righteous actually rising as a nation and to become "what" they can never
have....
Control over our own people. "What" is the fear that is spoken of. And what will happen to the government if it looses its mind control over
all of humanity?
Through that question lies the dreams and hopes for all of mankind. The future is truly ours only if
we let it be and exist in positivity. And through right and peace perception is how it shall be gained, viewed and known as
good..
We as a nation need to set examples and help free the minds and stereo types of all so-called others
through sights and sounds. Other than the way that they; the media and tell-a lie vision and radios do to us and the next generations
to come.
This was the original message in the Hip-Hop culture, and there is a science to
every one and every thing.

What is the difference between Hip-Hop Culture and Rap?
“Hip-Hop was and still today is a culture of the poor and oppressed. And Rap is the industries
way to package and sell that expression”- As told to me by the Great Elder Pee-Wee Dance-Universal Zulu Nation. But
isn’t Rap music? Yes, Rap is also the musical element in the Hip-Hop Culture, apart from DJing, BBoying, Graffiti Art
and Emceeing, being the 4 foundational crafts in Hip-Hop. But there are not only 4 elements in the Hip-Hop Culture. There
are actually 9 all together. And continuing on to the 5th through the 9th, would be beat
boxing, + verbal communication/ divine speech/ slang/ code words, + style of clothing, + knowledge of the elders/ common
sense, + manifesting as an entrepreneur/ hustle your craft and get paid / making a living off of the craft one has mastered.
And through all, comes "STYLE".
What kind of music does Hip-Hop deal with? Rap?
No. Hip-Hop deals with all music. Especially in a diverse city such as New York City. There are many
influences with in the music. And especially now in days, being that everything is produced electronically. And just to show
and prove that, we must cee or understand the BBoy element. Such as dancing to music. So in conclusion, I cee all forms of
music as influence.
