Raphael De La Ghetto’s Poetry Corner – “Click, Click”

CLICKITY CLICK

Word, so check it out. I got love for female photographers. It must be hard being so sexy and take pictures at the same time, multi-tasking at its best. I have a long list of female photographers that are in the city which is cool but one certain one loosely inspired this piece, so you know who you are.

*Click* Click*

There you go. Clicking away

Pretty fine young thang behind the camera, with the zebra print leggings

When I make my Don Juan advancements towards you, Please don’t run away

Please stay. Just like the Lion on the safari I will get my prey

I’m just a little nervous right now

I am certain that you ain’t scared with that fierce laid back stance

Funky Soul

Aura of Gold

The type who invents a new dance in a club at the hip-hop jam.

The “Around The Way Girl” that put LL Cool J in a trance

Lady I would

Love to get

Cool with u and high on u as if I was smoking

J

*Click, Click*

There you go clicking again

Look my way,

Pan right

Tilt Up

To your camera, my body has been un-traveled

Behind those lens, if you notice with a focus, that my hope is ready to be un-raveled

If you pay attention to my mouth you will see the hesitant mouth spasm

Filled with words that I would use to exchange for presence

To unlock your brain

Bathe in your essence

I’ll be thankful to be in the frame

Now I gotta step up my game

Hoping  that the words that I choose don’t mumble or jumble

When I come your way I pray that I don’t stumble

*Click, Click*

There you go clicking again

Now Dolly in

Tilt down

Zoom in to notice how I glide to you

How I unroll like 35mm film

To slide to your side

Close up

This is me

Recognize the depths of my emotions

Hello? How You Doin? How’s It Goin?

Where ya from?

Can u take me to ur photographic albums of ur memories?

Where ya goin?

Allow me to accompany you through the imagery of the dreams of  where you wanna be

*Click, Click*

There you go clicking again

But this time with your mind body and spirit

I know you feel mines

I know that we are intwined

That’s why we are chirping like crickets in the still of the night

Our conversation jumps back at each other with harmony

Our expressions read just alike

The energy vibrating between our eyes is a sweet silent melody

I’m relaxed now.

I want my nose to slide past shave parts of your fly ass haircut

So I can whisper silly nonsense to ears

Like

“Girl…maganda…you know you fine as hell right”

“Could you believe that muse like me possess fear to talk to you but I’m glad I found out  that you are my type”

“The aspect ratio is just right”

*Click…… Click*

We are a perfect picture

PEACE

Spek Won Da Great One

PARTY LIKE ITS 2012!!

Yooo… fam! So the homie Mr. Spek Won is having a release party for his Mix Album (Mixtape/Album hybrizzle) Aight so check it out, when I say the homie is talented, I REALLY REALLY MEAN that homie is ridiculously, refreshingly good. He is the best freestyler that I ever met, real talk. I first met him a few months back doing a cypher for my homie Miss G and this dude came in and straight spitted some double dragon fiyah. He even impressed me more on the day I lost my blackberry at the God Forsaken “Nuit Blanche” when it was a bunch of us artist who met up at the Burger King at 3:00 AM and random freestly session commenced, this dude went bonanza on how the RassClat Much Music won’t play his “HipLife” video on the air among other things.  I will definitely will be there to support bredren and you should too!

Sade’s New Single “Soldier Of Love”

WE ON THAT
So today is December 8th 2009 and Sade has decided to release the single of “Soldier Of Love” from the much awaited album coming out in exactly 2 more months, this is something serious. I knew my baby loved me lol. Yooooo the the joints it set off with the some major horns and then some drums and Sade hits it up with some sultry militant melodics. Wicked lyrics, I might add.

I’m staring down the artwork for what I believe is the album cover or perhaps just artwork for the single, she is staring me down. I don’t think she understands that I am not losing the staring contest… sexy ass FRECKLES is a  gwan.  I trying to connect the dots of the FRECKLES and I came up with a tracing of my lip prints as the image

Download the single at the link below. I’m gonna buy the single anyways lol.

Shy Ronnie aka Shy David

Rihanna and Andy Samburg on SNL

THE RECLUSVE FUNKY HERMIT

I was linked to the video from last night skit of Rihanna and Andy Samberg teamed up to be the performance duo of RiRi and Shy Ronnie, with a hot expensive beat backing them up and star power and Rihanna carrying the vocals and the hook, our boy Shy Ronnie mumbled through his verse as the pressure toned down his star power ability. RiRi left the room and BOOM! Shy Ronnie goes off with a charismatic flow and dope prescience, RiRi returns and then Shy Ronnie mumbles the way through *womp, womp, womp* epic fail… thats worse than sad puppies

I CAN RELATE

The thing about Ronnie is that I can relate to homeslice. I don’t think I get nervous anymore when I actually say something into the mic but before I was a train wreck. I used to tell myself that “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can” but I never did. Going on stage to showcase my work was near impossible. The only reason I got on stage the first time doing poetry was because I wanted to impress a girl that was in attendance.

PERFORMING “CHEATERS”>>>>

I can barely look at the video of me doing “Cheaters” back in June. I really want to spit at it because I remember how nervous I was and the pressure I felt. I dont perform like that anymore, it’s a little bit better. My figurative balls are whole lot huger. I guess I realized that you can redirect the energy that is given to nervousness and channel it to your actual craft *That was David’s advice for the day*

I found it funny that some people now me as an extremely quiet guy and other see me as loud talkative fool who jokes around alot. Those who have perceived me as quiet would watch me perform and be AMAZED at the so-called transformation. Those who know me as loud and talkative are AMAZED when I act like the introvert who goes to the corner minding bizness. It’s all good. Shy David is cool.

PEACE….. SPEAK UP!

*last note, I know I had a slight argument with someone about the actual name of Andy Samberg. I was wrong, I said Adam Sandberg, dont shoot me, I admit my guilt
