The Dominican bohio (a Taino word for dwelling), in the mountains of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. The bohio is built with wood from the surrounding area and palm branches called “yaguas”. This particular bohio is roofed with zinc sheets, also common in rural dwellings.
El bohío, palabra de origen taino, describe la vivienda tradicional del campesino dominicano, construída de madera local y techo de ramas de palma también conocidas como yagua. Este bohío está techado con hojas de zinc, muy comunes en las zonas rurales del país. Foto tomada en las montañas de Jarabacoa, República Dominicana.
Beastie Boys: Broke the racial barrier in hip-hop and reinvented what a rappers image is while touching generations of people with their different style and flow.
Wu-Tang Clan: Showed lyrical perfection and gave metaphorical 6th senses that still aren't 100% deciphered due to it's intensity; also basing their lives as if they were lyrical warriors fighting rappers that gave a false illusion of what hip-hop really is.
RUN DMC: Broke the rock and rap borders lines and created a new concept to music; combining rock and rap to change music forever while converting rock-heads into hip-hop-heads for the better by being more musically diverse.
N.W.A.: Combined rapping about street-live life and overthrowing the oppressive and racist cops that judged them based on what they looked like because of their skin color and where they grew up.
Young Money: Continuously rap about money and execute extremely poor delivery; make metaphors that contradict itself and virtually collapse within itself, make rap about fashion more than lyrics and talent.

Realization #44
Being educated is a gift and a curse. The fact of the matter is, ignorance is bliss and my education has shoved all the things that are wrong with the world in my face and now I cant ignore it. Im never really satisfied with the way things are in society so finding happiness is a task.
The Young Lords in New York
The Young Lords Party (formed in the early 1960’s in New York City by mostly Puerto Rican students and immigrants, inspired by the Black Panther Party) looked to defend the rights of Puerto Rican immigrants and to struggle for National Liberation. Many became involved in student and anti-war movements and wanted to apply the skills gained in that work to creating a community-based revolutionary organization.
maries2cute: I’m sorry but I can’t see this keep being reblogged without saying anything. The miss information in this post really gets me pissed. Couple of things that I found wrong about this post:
1. Young Lords Party was established in Chicago not in New York. The New York Chapter wasn’t established until 1969, to say the New York Chapter was established in the 60’s is a huge stretch and really misleading.
2. Young Lords actually started off as a gang and then proceeded to turn themselves into the Young Lords Party, later on into the Young Lords Organization.
3. Puerto Ricans are not immigrants, Puerto Rico is commonwealth of the United States “granting” citizenship to all residents that live in Puerto Rico.
4. The Young Lords Party in New York did SO MUCH MORE than just try to get national liberation for Puerto Rico. That bullet in their agenda isn’t as significant as the rest of the things they did for New York. ( http://palante.org/AboutYoungLords.htm )
As much as I respect that at least they know about the Young Lords Party, I wish there was more research and depth in this post as Tumblr can be used to educate people and this is mis-educating them.
