onyxblk's blog: "What is Cool?"

Cool is almost like God everybody wants to be down with it not knowing how it came about, what it does or just its creation. Cool is imaginary look at the rap artist in the music industry, 2PAC for instance he often referred to himself as Machiavelli, Biggie or the “Notorious B-I-G” used the term, “I’m the Don”, the mob boss in other terms.  Or the Group called, “Junior Mafia”, what is a Junior Mafia?  We have another rapper that calls himself, “Scarface”, Hussein Fatal, Fidel Castro, Noriega, The “Bomb Liberace”.  All of these rapper comparing themselves to Italian mob figures, I find this to be a little humorous because Italian’s have always referred to us as “moolies”, fried chicken eaters, colored, niggers, and would even disown their very own family members if their daughters or sons would become romantically involved with someone other than Italians.  Why would you want to imitate something or some other racial groups that don’t even like your very own existence, Whites, Italians, Cubans, Mexicans, and other races of people don’t likes blacks in general so if you look at it why would you imitate them it is really senseless.   

You would never hear an Italian mob figure call himself, “The Italian Panther of The Mob”.  You would never here a Cuban call himself, “The Black Cuban Drug Lord”. 

Cuban drug dealers, White wealthy families, we pretend to be all of these people that we are not in our little imagination we think we are actually them acting out our cool fantasies.  Most rappers haven’t even held a gun, killed another person, been shot, been in the mafia, been White, Italian, Puerto Rican, Cuban so why is it that we are so fascinated with these people because its cool to be a terrorist, a killer, a drug dealer, or to have a demented mindset it is really cool something that you’re not.  You never ever hear a rapper say I am the Malcolm X of rap or the Martin of rap, or imma ridah like “Rosa Parks”, or imma knock out artist like Muhammad Ali, or the Foreman of rap.  This just isn’t cool at all.   Cool makes you crazy what in the hell is a Snoop Doggy Dog, a cartoon character beagle dog, or an eminem a chocolate candy covered with nuts, what is an E-40 other than an alcoholic drink, or a Hussein Fatal? 

You actually have to be slightly crazy to be cool playing out a fantastic role of something other than what you are your mind has to take you their, cool is taking you away from reality often we don’t think about it in that nature but we use cool to relax from our daily pressures all of the time.
