was so fun. i just got back after SM-H & i took some of the high school interns to the open mic there, hosted by Bomani (D'mite) Armah. It was fun although not as packed and not as high-energy as Mocha Hut on U St on thurs nights. i read "August" because i kind of forced the high school students to share their poems, and because i wanted a chance to get in front of a big group of people and shout out both Free Minds Collective and the anniversary of the Aug 9 atom bomb on japan. i also learned that the haitian revolution happened in august. and a bunch of other things happened in august that i can't remember. a lot of FMC staff showed up and showed love too, so that was nice. besides FMC people, though, it was a hard audience.
Bomani shared this song at the end of the set, it's set to a beatbox/remix of beethoven's 5th and it's called "read a book":
READ A BOOK READ A BOOK
READ A MAAFUCKIN' BOOK
(2X)
R-E-A-D-A-B-O-O-K!
(chorus 2X)
YOUR BODY NEEDS WATER SO
DRINK THAT SHIT!
(2X)
(chorus 2X)
RAISE YO' KIDS RAISE YO' KIDS
RAISE YO' GODDAMN KIDS!
(2X)
BRUSH YO' TEETH BRUSH YO' TEETH
BRUSH YO' GODDAMN TEETH!
(chorus 2X)
Bomani says that he ussually tries to write conscious raps but sometimes he just has to pay the bills.
