I met Lamar and Taalam Acey several months ago in Maplewood, NJ, at the HLS Juice Bar and Grill. I’ve had video of this poem up for sometime now, but i’ve recently been messin’ around with Sony Vegas Movie Studio software… I can’t find tha card w my NewBlue effects serial number, but its all good, there are a lot of additional components I could have….and hopefully will have! I really get into digital video editing… I def am gonna start making “music videos” for each of my poems. So stay tuned, we are a work in progress over here at micthapoet.com,

…and that is a lifetime commitment, you have my promise…

Hats off to The Notorious B.I.G who would have been 38 years old today.

If that doesn’t make you feel old, than checking out this video probably will. It’s crazy to see just how young BIG was when he was hot.

And while it is popular nowadays for radio DJ’s to bring up dates like this and throw on “Hypnotized” or “Mo’ Money”; only the true fans who owned his albums, banged his hits at high school parties, hung his picture on their walls, and remember where they were when he got shot, can truly appreciate how much time has passed since then.

“The next show is Thursday, May 20, 2010. I know you all been waiting on this for a long time with your freaky a$$, but it’s finally here. This week’s poetry open mic night will be dedicated to all of the exotic, erotic, sexual lovers who doesn’t like to get their “@#^$ put in the dirt” LOL. But for those freaky lovers who likes to get their Love Jones on. This is for a mature audience only, so bring your most freakiest pieces.

This week’s theme will be Blame It on the Poetry, Sex, and Alcohol….“Shout outs to the bartender.” Your host will be Mic tha Poet, noted poet will be Nikki Grimes, The feature will be none other than, “I Want, I Need, I Have to &*$@ you aka Speechless, Mr. Kuande Hall.

Kuande Hall aka Speechless
Originally from Raleigh, NC, Kuande has written poetry as a hobby for as long as he can remember but it wasn’t until he came to Syracuse that he begin performing spoken word. Although he writes many different styles, the majority of his poetry is centered around thoughts of eroticism and word play. He’s a photojournalist in the US Marine Corps and is headed to Crystal City, Va where he will take charge as the Social Media Chief for the Marine Corps. He’s currently completing his first novel, “The Makings of a Man” which will feature a lot of his poetry and hopes to have it published before the end of the year.”
