DMX - Emo's - July 6, 2007

From the people that love to say "WHAT?!?"... DMX @ Emo's on July 6th... with Bazaar Royale... and Zeale 32. Grrr... aarf... aarf...

I may have mentioned it but I slammed my thumb on my door a few weeks back. It got black and blue. Well each day I put on a band-aid to hide it from people so no one gets grossed out. I mean this thing is ugly and I'm thinking it's gonna be like this for atleast 3-6 months. Well at the end of the day, you can imagine what shape this band-aid is in. You know it's been to the restroom with me, been under the water from washing my hands, has food all up in it from lunch... well I was smelling my finger just now and it's stiiiinky... and after taking the band-aid off my finger nail looks like it's about to fall off... i think i will soon be walking around with a stubb.

Who is this kid Global?

Global was born a Bboy in the state of Maryland. After lounging in VA, Md, and DC, the Emejulus settled into their beautiful homeland of Nigeria. This is where his hunger for knowledge and collective unity was born. While in Nigeria, Global learned about soccer, Igbo metaphysics, and the Chukwu mystery school system. From there, he then transitioned to his home away from home, Dallas Texas.

It was in Dallas Texas that Global first witnessed the dichotomy of abject poverty and enormous wealth. From the slums of the states streets to the mansions of Highland Park, he learned at an early age that this system is built upon inequity and exploitation.
