Illin n' Chillin

Krip-Hop Nation finally interviewed Bill Shannon aka Crutch Master. I have known about Shannon since 1995. I've always wanted to interview him about his dancing, Hip-Hop culture, his disability as growing older, his time in NY in the 80's and his work now. He even turned down a big time mainstream contest show. He made it clear that he loves Hip-Hop but his dance/art is much more than just Hip-Hop more like interdisciplinary dance and now is more into House music but still listens to Hip-Hop.

Lee Williams and I met in the 90's and he joined at that time Disability Advocates of Minorities Org's artistic arm, New Voices: Disabled Poets & Artists of Color. In this audio interview Lee talks about his music career, his album, Phase V, being Black disabled musician and you can listen to some of his songs. This interview was done at SF Main Library in 1998 or 1999. His birthday is September 2nd. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE WILLIAMS 2013. MUCH LOVE!

“I would like to see disabled artist reach my status in music and beyond!!!!”

Although Krip-Hop Nation is international with musicians with disabilities singing and rapping their politics and life, there are countries that Krip-Hop haven’t touched or are only now making baby steps to get into. We, in America, especially us on the left might know one or many things about Palestine.

Although I didn't make it to Chicago, I want to share some poems and why I decided to write these poems. One for the late Johnnie Mae Dunson, the other for the late Wesley Willis and Paraplegic MC. I had a multimedia presentation set up with my reading oh well at least you can read some of my poems. ENJOY

Verse 1
Getting older
Breaking down faster
Got the body Blues

Chorus
Disability speeds up the body clock
Tick tock tick tock can’t stop
Giving me the body Blues

Verse 2
Crack snap pop
Aches & pains
Especially when it rains

Chorus
Disability speeds up the body clock
Tick tock tick tock can’t stop
Giving me the body Blues

Verse 3
Remedies of yesterdays
Don’t work today
That sucks, I have to say

Bridge
At night, I’m sore
In the morning, I’m stiff
All day my body is singing the Blues
Better yet it’s hollering the Blues

Chorus
