OK OK so i apologize for not posting anything lately…and i am still figuring out tha new server, so BEAR WITH ME, lol.

we are working on changing a few things around, and there will soon be a new HOME PAGE featuring new photo(s) of yours truly…courtesy of KHall Photography (preview above)

I have been EXTREMELY busy preparing myself for April, as it is Nat’l Poetry Month.  Some dates are still not finalized, but there are SO MANY incredible things happening for Mic Tha Poet and tha Syracuse Spoken Word scene this April

Here is a little preview of what is in store:

* We will gather at the Underground Poetry Spot EACH of tha first four Thursdays in April.  The dates are April 1st, April 8th, April 15th, and April 22nd.  I will be hosting on tha 1st and on tha 15th

* On April 8th we will feature tha spoken-word of Jack Brown, frontman of tha immensely popular Syracuse-based band SOPHISTAFUNK

* On APRIL 15th we are proud to announce that we will be featuring tha Spoken Word poetry of tha one and only TAALAM ACEY  at the UNDERGROUND POETRY SPOT!!!!!! Taalam is tha most recognizable voice in tha modern Spoken Word Revolution.  I am a big fan and am incredibly honored to host in his presence.  We will be selling advance tickets for only $5, but tha price will double at tha door, so if you will be in Syracuse on tha 15th of April, I suggest you contact me or Seneca Wilson.  If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Acey, shame on YOU, lol.  Google him

* Oh yeah – I am auditioning TONIGHT for Syracuse University’s TAKE THE MIC POETRY SLAM to be held next month

* Myself and Melissa Bamerick are organizing and hosting tha first ever TEEN “MIC THA POETS” SLAM (& Workshop) to be held on April 24th at tha WATER ST. CAFE at 133 Water Street in Syracuse’s Hanover Square.  This will be a daytime event, from 12:30 – 4:00 and will feature poetry from 3 local artists, as well as tha workshop facilitation.  Tha day long event will culminate in a three-round poetry slam for Syracuse area teens only, between tha ages of 13 and 19.

* I will alson be performing on April 1st at Syracuse University as part of a celebration of  Multi-Cultural Affairs…I am awaiting tha details

*On April 29th and 30th I will be at Mt. Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia for a two-day Poetry Performance and meet-and-greet with tha students.  Event organized by Melinda Bloomquist of MVHS.

……..Ok, so details and specific posts regarding each event will soon follow.  Please stay tuned and help me make this tha best damn Month of Poetry Syracuse has ever seen!

Damn.  Last post got a shout out to tha late DJ AM, now i gotta show love to another one of tha GREATEST…

I love this video. It’s truly “MUSIC THAT THE STREET LOVES”  …this track really reflects tha urban environment that much of hip-hop was born of…it ain’t just half-naked ladies in tha club poppin bottles and sh*t…

MC GURU, our prayers are with you and your family.  In fact, u might as well consider us here at micthapoet.com your EXTENDED FAMILY.  Tracks like this right here are why we got love for hip-hop…u kno our steez

Much love to GangStarr…. we pullin for you Guru…stay blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!

In our opinion, DJ Jazzy Jeff is the best DJ that ever did it. This is one of those rare videos that does a great job of showing his skills.

Listen to what he does at around the 1:20 mark to 2:00 minute time in the video.

Absolutely crazy.

Then pay attention at about 2:25 while he slows it down to the end.

You’ll notice the late DJ AM up there with him, and he seems to agree with us.

Have a fantastic weekend.

**APOLOGIES if you came to the site yesterday and it was down. We did a server upgrade so that we can continue to improve. Be on the lookout for some exciting changes soon. We’ll be adding more Underground Poetry Spot content, a forum for everyone to fight on, better multimedia pages and merchandise etc. So stay tuned and thank you all for continuing to support Mic Tha Poet!!**
