GOALS WINS AND VICTORIES
I have finally began working on the new follow up 2 GET WITH A VISIONARY(G.W.A.V.)..To tell you the truth,I and L.G.I.T. enjoyed the responses of so many of the listeners and supporters of the last project that i really didnt want to change much at all. I just wanted to change the range of how much farther i could get this music. There have been so many songs/concepts that have already been worked on that were ready for A project im glad to see that THIS project can come to light and fruition....This is just a result of the level and atmosphere that those visions from my last release have taken me. so with that being said...we still G.W.A.V.IN(GWAVIN!!)..THE NEW PROJECT WILL BE G.W.A.V.(2.0)....GOALS WINS AND VICTORIES...(same acronym,next level)..
"Goals set it,Wins get it,Victories End it"...feat Rubicon,2.0everything(2.0shit),G.W.A.V.(anthem), and much more
production by-K.BOOGIE,H.L.D.F.,MIRAKAL MACHINE BEATZ N MORE!
earlier 2DAY
kinda bothers me though that
My parents and I have currently been at unfortunate conflicting sides. I lead a bit of a life that they cant always condone. We find so much good and value of our time spent together. I am saddened to see us go in the direction that we seemed to have once moved forward from. It never seems to last but time is so precious...lets not waste it.....It is all part of this process of life i guess......i still ride 4 them everyday and long to give them what i dont think they could ever understand about me. They deserve everything though but an early retirement could help.....I LOVE THEM and look forward to time giving a better update in the near future.....salute 2 yall n keep striving towards the goals,wins,and victories
I BEEN WAKING UP 2 THIS VIDEO ALOT....i dunno why.
from wherever we left off to monday
....FOOTAGE,FILM AND DOC WILL BE COMING 2 YOU SHORTLY.

HAPPY 4 20 YALL....
HOW April 20 IS SPENT ALLLLL OVER THE WORLD
April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. date notation) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[1] Some events may have a political nature to them, advocating for the decriminalization of non-medical cannabis in the United States.
American observance
University of Colorado, Boulder
2009's 420 celebration at University of Colorado.
A large celebration is held every year on the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, with attendance reaching more than 10,000 in 2008. It has been estimated that in 2009 the crowd surpassed the 10,000 attendee mark that was set in 2008. This would make CU Boulder's celebration of the hopeful legalization of marijuana one of the largest such celebrations in the United States.[3][6] University police have tried various methods to prevent the gathering, including photographing students participating in the event,[7] but the crowd has grown every year.[6] The university and police have taken a more hands-off approach since 2006, emphasizing event safety over possession citations. Recent growth of the medical marijuana industry in Colorado is expected to add momentum to future events.[8]
On April 15, 2009, the Office of the Chancellor sent an e-mail to all CU students regarding the 2009 celebration of 4/20 stating that the event would debase "the reputation of your university and degree." The CU student newspaper disagreed with the Chancellor's analysis.[9]
No possession tickets were issued at the 2009 event.[10]
Canadian observance
Ottawa, Ontario
Annually, on April 20th thousands of activists gather on Parliament Hill and Major's hill to look toward the peace tower as they join each other in smoking marijuana when the clock strikes 4:20. Police keep an eye on protesters to make sure the peace is kept. [11][12]
Vancouver, British Columbia
On April 20, 2009, an estimated nearly 10,000 people gathered around the Vancouver Art Gallery to celebrate "420". The police did not attempt to make arrests. This event has taken place in Vancouver annually for many years, and the police are generally tolerant of all marijuana use on April 20.[13]
New Zealand observance
Dunedin
In Dunedin, New Zealand, members of Otago NORML and some students at Otago University meet every Wednesday and Friday at 4:20 pm under a Walnut tree on the Otago University Union Lawn to smoke cannabis in defiance of New Zealand's cannabis laws. There was considerable media and police interest in the '420' group in 2008, resulting in the arrest of a student and the issuance of trespass notices to members of the public at one of the 4:20 pm meetings.[14][15][16][17][18][19] The group leader was arrested for cannabis possession at a university Market Day unrelated to the 4:20 meetings,[20] but was later discharged without conviction on all charges.[21] The group celebrated their 5th anniversary on September 11, 2009.[22]
Auckland
In Auckland, New Zealand a 420 group meets regularly at the Daktory.[23]

LETS SAVE EDUCATION in NEW JERZ..and everywhere we can impact
--------------------------
As many have heard, the new governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie has recently made mass cuts in state education. In fact, he has already cut 475 million dollars from the budget, and plans to cut more...the cuts will total just about 1 Billion dollars. Many After-school programs are going to cease to exist from now on. That means sports teams, clubs, arts and musics programs are going to no longer exist in NJ Schools.
In addition, he has gone on a firing rampage and is going to fire mass amounts of non-tenured teachers in the state. Further more, he plans on re-negotiating the contracts on teachers who are. That puts their health care, benefits, and pensions in serious danger. The state will soon have less teachers, and less money--to the point where some schools are saying they are going to need to have children share books.
Chris Christie also wants to completely eliminate the institution of pre-school in the state and have the entry level for children be kindergarten. This is going to complicate many parents lives and stifle and delay the development of many children.
The saddest part is that in only a few weeks a lot of these cuts have ALREADY gone into effect, and soon even more will go into place, and then even more by next school year.
This is one of the most serious things to ever happen in the state of New Jersey. At this point, the only potential for change lies in the students. The youth who will be effected by all these cuts need to rise up and do something. Therefore, I am suggesting that the students of New Jersey need to participate in a MASS STATE WIDE SCHOOL WALK OUT. On April 27th, I urge all of you to walk out, bring signs, and protest in front of your school, on the school track, ANYTHING. It is imperative to YOUR EDUCATION for something to be done. Something that will draw mass attention to this issue and get this sick man who some how got into office, to change something. I don't know what this man has against education, but i do know that the students who will be effected by this should not take it lying down. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU KNOW. FORWARD IT TO EVERYONE! STEP UP WITHIN YOUR OWN SCHOOL AND HELP ORGANIZE THIS EVENT. Inform teachers, they will not argue it, because this is affecting them too. Most of your teachers, will actually not be returning next year because of all these cuts. So for their sake, and yours DO SOMETHING

Richie Isaacs (via redfizz.com)
Solid, and tight, yeah I can hear the influences in there but it's pretty hard to NOT hear influences in any given music no matter how hard we try IF we dig deep enuff.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HAITI?
at a loss for words really with this one. But my heart n prayers go out 2 the people of Haiti. People who are family of the people of Haiti. I cant explain something this tragic but i can try and help. YOU ALL CAN AS WELL!
"I am not haitian but I am human." MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
----------------------------------------------------
WHAT HAPPENED?--(via topics.nytimes.com)
One of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, Haiti in recent years has struggled with problems ranging from near-constant political upheaval, health crises, severe environmental degradation and an annual barrage of hurricanes, which killed an estimated 800 people and caused vast damage in 2008.
On Jan. 12, 2010, a massive earthquake struck Haiti, reducing much of its capital to rubble. It was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years, with thousands feared dead. The devastation created serious obstacles to those attempting to deliver promised foreign aid.
United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told NBC's "Today" program that 3 million people - about a third of Haiti's population - had been affected by the quake, and that "there will be tens of thousands of casualties - we don't have any exact numbers."
Haiti occupies an area roughly the size of Maryland on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Nearly all of the 8.7 million residents are of African descent and speak Creole and French. The capital is Port-au-Prince.
The country is, by a significant margin, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, with four out of five people living in poverty and more than half in abject poverty. Deforestation and over-farming have left much of Haiti eroded and barren, undermining subsistence farming efforts, driving up food prices and leaving the country even more vulnerable to natural disasters. Its long history of political instability and corruption has added to the turmoil.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT IS BEING SAID?
------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT WE CAN DO?
I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS IS WYCLEF'S HAITI FOUNDATION AND THAT THE MONEY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click here to DONATE.
Thank you,
Wyclef
The regular Yele Haiti website will resume in a couple of weeks. In the meantime our focus is on providing real-time information about the situation in Haiti.
