Someone put Hip Hop over one of my favorite discovered instrumentals from last year. When I first hear Stadium Pow Wow my mind was blown. So much passion is evident from The Halluci Nation’s Stadium Pow Wow mixing big beats with traditional Indigenous music and performance. What I love about the group is that their name, The Halluci Nation, the term was coined by late artist, poet, and activist John Trudell, to describe the global community who remember at their core what it means to be human, and live life in line with Indigenous values.
Then, imagine my surprise when something pops up in a random playthrough with Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, rapping over it! I about lost my mind.
The result is an incredible ride through some amazing lyrics coupled with an amazingly powerful beat.
“Chu ain’t livin’ by the G code, what the fuck is fleek though, don’t ask them – what do he know?, what I forgot is better than whatever they remember, never mind, I’m off it / it’s quiet form, time to put the temper tantrums to the quiet corner, “HUSH, That’s enough,” said the ruler, no suckers allowed to break bread or asunder, the daylight lightning and the thunder, the sun moon, and stars and then hunger, abundance in bundles, blessings and troubles, towers and tunnels, view and valleys, waves, then pigs: ‘what streets you from, son? Planet Earth”
Great workout song. Great song to clean to. Great song to dance to. Great song to THINK to. I love that the group preaches humanity and respect for the environment and Earth we live on.
If you enjoyed this song, you will not be sorry for diving into to their catalog. I demand it actually! Check out NDN Kars – Remix (it’s like a Beach Boys song somehow), Native Puppy Love (super powerful and uplifting, get ready to dance!), and ALie Nation by them!
Make it a mission to be super-HUMAN today. Help someone. Leave your home like you have a job to make someone’s life better today. All it takes is one little thing. Thanks for doing your part. I’ll do mine.
Be good, do good.
everything, etc.
