Ignore, Accept, and Move On. (Hate)


One thing that is very clear in our world is there is very much negative energy going around. You’re probably apart of it and don’t even realize. Take a moment to check yourself, become more self-aware of your thoughts and actions and the impact they have. People don’t realize the true power of a single thought.

We in live in a society that is controlled by the divide and conquer technique. Divide and conquer is a great war strategy, but a even better control strategy. The best way to make the masses not realize they’re under control and make them not question anything, is make them fight amongst themselves. Race, class, sport teams, cities, clothes, styles, and so on. If you don’t realize how truly stupid racism is then I pity you. We’re all the same, so a slightly different shade of skin doesn’t matter. Slavery has always existed and still does to this day, just in different forms. To quote David Icke (and this sample was used on Vinnie Paz’s “End of Days”) “The greatest form of control is when you think you're free when you're being fundamentally manipulated and dictated to. One form of dictatorship is being in a prison cell and you can see the bars and touch them. The other one is sitting in a prison cell but you can't see the bars but you think you're free.” Just because you don’t see bars or shackles does not mean you’re free.

Media, TV, Radio, and so on is the greatest tool of programming, manipulation, and control. Another great quote from Icke, also sampled on “End of Days” – “The greatest hypnotist on the planet Earth is an oblong box in the corner of the room. It is constantly telling us what to believe is real. If you can persuade people that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see you've got them. You know because they'll laugh in your face of an explanation that portrays the biggest picture of what's happening... and they have.”

I’ve went slightly off topic here, but everything does connect in some way or another. There is a difference between going into detail and going off topic. The point I’m trying to get to here is hate. In this world people are more vocal about the things they hate, oppose, and dislike than the things they enjoy. That is due to the fact our society feeds off negative drama. Most front like they hate drama, can’t stand it, and don’t need it in their life; yet they literally feed from that drama and create it around them. Reality TV is very much to blame, the way the new handles reports in America, and just media in general. I mean look at news, they report more on murders, death, drugs, and negative things than anything positive or uplifting. By doing so that puts the negative into our way of thinking even if we don’t realize it. Then stupid ass shows like Jersey Shore smh. Sorry, but if you honestly enjoy that shit you’re a fuckin’ moron. Ironic they call these shows “Reality TV” because reality and TV do not mix at all. The best thing one can do is avoid mainstream media. Don’t go to the radio for your music. Off topic, but screaming swag, yolo, pause, no homo, and what mainstream does, does NOT make you unique dumb ass. or quoting a half ass quote turned into a punchline with little to no meaning from a rapper who thinks they're more important than they actually are, doesn't make you intelligent either. Brainwashed.

On top of the drama we’re taught to only like one thing at a time, especially in music. I can’t stand this. People act like you can only support one artist or band a time. Like what do you listen to? “I’m on that T.I. man” well what about Em? “Nah I only listen to T.I. and I fuckin’ hate Luda, Lil Flip, and all those cats (cuz TIP does)” See that’s another thing, just because 2 rappers beef doesn’t mean you can only like one. It’s not your beef and 95% of the time the beef is fake or staged for promotion and you’re a mindless puppet feeding in. You can’t deny both 2Pac and Biggie were very talented at their craft, so there is no point in hating Big cuz you like Pac or the other way around. On the same topic here, just because you like rap doesn’t mean you can’t listen to rock. Just because you play basketball, doesn’t mean you can’t play football, or even piano. Stop boxing yourself in and thinking you’re fuckin’ original or unique or different. If you only support one artist, you are closing yourself off to so many great artists and styles. Music has so many different viewpoints, styles, and personalities. So if you only listen to one niche or style you’re honestly missing out.

Due to this thirst for drama and boxed in mind-state we are quick to argue and fight over the most pointless of things. Especially on the internet because it’s easy to hide behind a computer screen and keyboard and talk shit for hours, but face to face 90% of the shit talkers would shut the fuck up quick. I may have trailed off a bit, but all the dots do connect. The main point of this article is as follows..

You ever notice that no matter where you go on the net these days (especially YouTube comments) that some stupid mutha fucker has to have a comment about Bieber, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Pac, Biggie, or Michael Jackson? I mean you can be watching a how to video, a cooking video, or a something that has nothing to do with music, but still somebody will be like I hate Bieber’s faggot ass, Wayne is fake rap!, Eminem’s birthday is coming so go watch his videos!, Pac ain’t dead!, Biggie for life, fuck Death Row!, Illuminati killed MJ!, and so on and so forth. Every fuckin’ where you look a comment about honestly pointless shit. Somehow the videos comments are never ABOUT THE ACTUAL VIDEO.

Accept, Ignore, and Move On.

If you dislike something or someone the best method to use is to accept, ignore, and move on. If it bothers you don’t give it energy and don’t waste your time hating. If you hate Bieber, can’t stand his music, fans, or whatever good for you. No need to comment every video you see stating that. Kinda seems like you envy him or secretly like him, but won’t admit it to yourself. Same with Wayne. I personally do not like Wayne or YM and I believe he is highly overrated. BUT I don’t go around hating those who listen to him, I do try to provide them with what I consider more meaningful music such as Joe Budden, Atmosphere, or Wu Tang. If I’m listening to another artist on YouTube I don’t need to comment “Damn this dude better than Wayne’s phony ass! Fuck Weezy!” or some bullshit like that. All that does is bring more attention and shine to that person or thing you dislike. Ignoring something is the best method of defeat; especially in personal situations where someone is trying to get your attention or fuck with you.

What most don’t realize because their views are so black and white, is that by opposing and hating you are still supporting. Even if you hate it completely and protest it, you are providing that topic, person, or whatever it may be your energy and what it needs to survive. I’ve wrote plenty of lines and even full verses on this topic, just as many MC’s have. When thinking of this a certain B.o.B line comes to mind: Everybody's a fan if you boo or applaud, Now give me your energy, even if you're my enemy Honestly think about it, if YOU hate this person or thing, why would you waste YOUR energy showing that hate on THEM? That shows more about you than it does them. To quote a Joe Budden line that comes to mind: “Fuck me? Worry ‘bout that sickness you got inside, Figure I'm just a reflection of your miserable life, And since you less fortunate you bitch been deprived (last words?)? Most of the time when someone hates someone or something, it is due to the fact they either envy and want to be that person or thing, or they see part of themselves in them. We as people project our insecurities and problems onto the world around us. We need to take the time to sort these issues out within ourselves and stop projecting them onto others.

If we started ignoring the things we dislike they would fade. Maybe not for good, but their shine would dull. Even if it doesn’t go away on a larger scale, in your personal world it would and you would be better for it. Rid yourself of all negative thoughts and energy. Changing the way you think will change the way you live. We truly do manifest our own realities. So when you think negative, you get receive negative. If you feed from drama, don’t be shocked when you receive drama.

So if you dislike something, don’t waste your personal time hating it. Just accept that it’s there, ignore it, and move on with your life. Don’t waste your time and energy hating, use that energy to better yourself. Stop with the pointless drama and do something positive. Ignore, accept and move the fuck on. One.

What it means to be a "rapper" and why me..?


Attempting to build something as a “rapper” has been done so many times that it is a hard path to choose. There's so many "rappers" it's hard to stand out in the crowd; especially when every rapper claims to be "different". So if you're not doing something special or honestly different you will not stand out or be taken serious, and even if you are you still need promotion. This isn't an easy path to pursue. Understand that what I’m trying to do goes beyond music, beyond rap, and beyond all of this. The music is the foundation and beginning of what I’m trying to accomplish.

I know most people are like “just another rapper” “what’s different about him?” “anyone can rap” etc and so on. So let me break it down..

Just another rapper? No. “Just another rapper” is a Tyga, Soulja Boy, Waka, Gucci, etc. Just another rapper is a rapper who does not understand the true history of Hip-Hop, how to properly create music, or how to properly write music especially. Also there is a difference in being a rapper and being an MC that many do not know or see.

I know a lot of local and underground dudes who want to be rappers or believe they are. The honest to God truth is they are not. They don't understand the technical aspects that go into writing and creating music. They don't even understand the basics such as rhyme schemes, concepts, or content. They don't understand this culture. They don't have a sense of music history. They lack respect and understand of what Hip-Hop is. Rapping is more than just rhyming words, bragging, and talking on a mic; and it is not for everyone. Most of these cats I know or know of have nothing to rap about either. Nothing different about them, their lives, or their way of thinking. They live very generic and easy lives and are heavily influenced by mainstream music; so they become that and keep the cycle going. Rapping about money, clothes, cars, drugs, and sex is not the way to go. If you music catalog is only 3 artists deep and Wiz is your favorite, or Wayne, or Waka you need to stop and check yourself. Either stop rapping, or take the time to learn. Making music isn't for everyone.

What’s different about me or my music? Well to start I understand and appreciate the history of Hip-Hop. I understand where the culture comes from and what it means to our society. To say anyone can rap, can be true technically, but not anyone can rap with talent. Most people think rap is just talking or screaming and just rhyming a couple of words here and there and those people couldn’t be more wrong. Never base your opinion on rap (or anything for that matter) from the mainstream media’s viewpoint. Rap is heavily influenced by Jazz, Soul, and R&B. Which means rap is rhythm and melody, not just talking on beats. Rap is about lyricism, poetry, and emotion. Listen to a Big Daddy Kane and his cadence. Listen to the emotion of a DMX or a 2Pac. Listen to the way Kool G Rap and Rakim use multi-syllables. The way Eminem bends and stretches words. Also rapping fast does not mean you are talented or better than the next MC, that’s one skill out of many that some possess and does not mean you good based on that alone. Especially if you’re not saying anything, then rapping fast is almost pointless. Artists such as Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee, Wu Tang, and KRS-One changed lyricism forever. Same with an Eminem, DMX, Canibus, Redman, Scarface, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. To me Pharoahe Monch is the epitome of what it means to be an MC in every way, shape, and form. So many names to name.

Let me stop and also break down what MC or Emcee means. Most people only know the term rapper and never have heard MC, which is sad but due to the fact the radio and TV is flooded with rappers and no true MC’s. MC: “Master of Ceremony” or “Move the Crowd” because that is what MC’s do. Before Hip-Hop truly existed MC’s would be the host of public events, introduce performers or acts, and keep the crowing going. MC’s can tell jokes, talk to the crowd, and just entertain them. When Hip-Hop originally began the MC's job was to hype the crowd and introduce the DJ. The DJ was the main point and held the spotlight. MC's would move the crowd, say little nursery style rhymes, and do response chants with the crowd. Eventually the MC/Rapper took over and began spittin rhymes and become the main point of each show, and eventually the culture. In Hip-Hop MC means basically the same thing as rapper, but a MC and Rapper can be and usually are different. An MC is someone who is true to the culture and music and who raps for personal expression. A rapper does it more for the materialistic side, the fame, and the money. An MC is more artistic and puts more effort into the craft of making music.


Making Hip-Hop music is the expression of ones self and the expression of the soul. Hip-Hop music express’ the culture and society around that particular MC. If done properly an MC can influence the society around them, look at the words of TuPac or Public Enemy. Rappers can use real life content for listeners to relate. One MC who’s amazing at that is Slug (from Atmosphere). Rappers can use fictional content to create a new world for listeners to escape in. One of Hip-Hop’s premier story tellers is Slick Rick. Or Nas with the way he practically wrote movies and if you closed your eyes while listening you can see his words come to life. Then there’s the well known party content, because that is currently all labels provide and push to a mainstream audience because ignorance sells and they prefer to keep society dumbed down and spending money. (Knowledge is power, which is why they keep that from you. Open your eyes.) Yes Hip-Hop needs party and fun music.. I mean Hip-Hop did begin on block parties with break dancing, DJing, and just having a good time. But we also need some intelligent, uplifting, and meaningful music. At the end of the day what are really getting out of the music you listen to? If it's about pussy, money, bling, drugs, and guns.. then nothing. Turn that off. Learn something and better yourself.


Most people think rap is just rhyming words and talking into a mic, bragging, and some don't even consider rap a real form of music. True Hip-Hop is about painting vivid pictures with words that the listeners not only see, but can can feel. Creating something that can shift the conscious of the people and expand their minds and souls. Something that will touch them and they can truly relate.

Rap is not just rhyming small words and talking. Rap is flow, rhythm, and melody. Rap is about using syllables, similes, metaphors, analogies, imagery, word play, and punch lines. You need to be clever with words and have an excellent command of the English language. Flows, patterns, rhyme schemes, and so much goes into writing and creating quality music with substance. Some don't consider rap "real music" because there is no use of instruments. What most overlook is that the vocal itself is the most underrated instrument in music. Along with quality production, vocals can create something amazing. Vocals are another element to the instruments you hear on production. The recording process isn’t as easy as just talking into a mic. There is rhythm to it, enunciation, and breath control. Along with battles, freestyling, live shows.. there is so much that goes into rap.
 If your music doesn't have substance, then there is no replay value and it's life span will be short. If you're saying nothing, but sound good.. only so long will the listener want to hear a catchy flow with no content. At the same time, you could be dropping mad knowledge, but if sounds like shit nobody wants to hear it. You need a balance of sound and substance.



Most rappers choose to rap just so they can say their rappers. Most rap for the pursuit of fame, money, and power. Then there’s the rare few who rap to make an impact on not only the music game, but society. My goals go beyond materialistic things such as money and fame. If you know my story and my childhood, I want my words to affect people in the same way and help them. When you're depressed, alone, sad, angry, or whatever the case.. music can help you. Some music makes you move your body, while some moves your thought. Music is one of the most powerful things in our world. Music can instantly change your mood, teach you new things, and affect your actions. I want to consciously uplift people (for example my song “Seeking Forever") and open peoples minds and teach them new possibilities. 'The world is not black and white, there are shades of gray.' I want to bring something new to writing and expand on what it means to be an MC and musical artist and create timeless music. Remember music is an art form, not just something on the radio or TV. Do you really consider a Soulja Boy or Waka Flocka an artist? No. But a Canibus, Ras Kass, Killah Priest.. Yes. Mainstream media gives rap a bad image and hurts it for the true artists and the fans. Hip-Hop is not dead, maybe brain dead at the moment, but there are still true artists out there.

This is just something I typed up real quick. Also.. it's funny how most "fans" will claim to have supported an artist from day one if they are local or have some personal connection to them, but that's only after they've began to make it and get a following. Yet they ignore and even hate while those artists are grinding it out and attempting to build something and even giving out the music completely free, which is a shame. Stop being a follower and jumping on the latest fad or trend: be yourself and do you.

If you dislike me or my music, that’s cool. Don’t waste your time or energy hating that shows more about you than anyone, check the mirror.. or better yet:

Who is Joe Rameer?

So you've stumbled upon this blog, maybe heard a song or two, or been told to check me out, but wondering who is Joe Rameer? Well as quick as it can be said, here it is..

facebook.com/JoeRameer
youtube.com/JoeRameer

Short Bio:

Who am I? Well most of you will know me as an MC, Rapper, or music artist, but it only begins and goes beyond that. The rabbit hole is deeper than most of you will ever realize. I'm a Hip-Hop artist, MC, rapper, poet, writer, thinker, teacher, and researcher; among so much more. I'm different than the rest. The best you've never heard. I'm going to tell you about my personal life here so you can get to know me and understand the music on a deeper level. See, most rappers are gimmicks or acts, I'm a real life person bringing my soul to rap. I don't rap for fame, attention, money, pussy, or any of that. I make music to make a change and impact lives. Poetry on a beat, focused on lyricism. I don't wanna be a star, I aim to make history; to quote Andre 3000 "'I'm a star', I'd rather be a comet by far - rrrahhh".

Life is very complex. It goes beyond black and white; there are shades of gray. The answers are more complex than God or Satan, good or evil, and so on. The first step one must take is to gain knowledge of self. How can you expect to understand the world if you don't understand yourself? We are all connected and we are all one. So understand yourself, understand the world. You can not gain wisdom or understanding without knowledge first. Take the time to learn who you are. I mean who you are beyond your favorite music, movies, or shows.. beyond your favorite clothes, styles, or websites. Who you are in your essence, your soul. Meditation or simply being alone with your thoughts is a great method to finding yourself. The answers are inside you, stop seeking outside sources. You create your own reality, realize the power of thought and word. Rid yourself of any and all negativity, whether it be thoughts, ideas, feelings, or actions. Don’t be jealous or envious towards others and rid yourself of ego. Keep an open mind and don't judge what you don't know.

I was born 11 weeks premature on May 18th 1991 into a childhood of drugs and violence. Growing up surrounded by dealers and addicts in Jefferson County where meth is everywhere, showed me exactly what I did not want to be. Addicts would come in and out of my house daily and at all times. My parents would fight constantly and it would go to levels of violence beyond belief. Due to that cops would constantly be around. My parents relationship is twisted and fucked up beyond all reason. Nearly everyone raised in similar environments grows up to become what they see; they know no better. I am the exception to the rule. I was always very quiet and just observed everyone around me. I learned from their mistakes and didn't let them become mine. The story of my parents is something too deep and long to put here, but it is one of the main factors in making me who I am and leading me towards music. A very sick and destructive relationship with constant fighting, cops, and ruined birthdays and holidays. Almost everyday was a living hell at my home, which ruined my outside life and school. That was one of the reasons I dropped out of high school my Junior Year and got my GED diploma; that in itself is a whole other story.

On December 22, 2002 my older sister passed away just 4 days before turning 24. She had one son, Matthew, my nephew who I am very close to. I was 11, he was 6. Just after my sister passed away, so did my grandma and uncle (both on my dads side). As they say death comes in threes. I was very close to all three of them and on the verge of living with my sister to get away from my home. Their deaths, among others, have taught me more than anything could and helped put life into perspective and showed me life is precious. Everything happens for a reason. Let go of the past, take the present as a gift, and look to the future. Accept and move on.

With my parents fighting daily and addicts constantly in and out of my home my main escape and you could even say therapy was music. Even all my friends were on drugs by 12 because their parents were, which is how I met most of my friends. Today many are locked up or dead. I owe to much to the Hip-Hop culture. As a young child listening to artists such as 2Pac, Eminem, and DMX among many others, I found something I loved in Hip-Hop music. I could deeply relate to the words of these MC's (which is something rap lacks today) and they helped me get through each day and keep my head up. Besides Pac, Em, and DMX: Joe Budden is a very big influence on me along with Rakim. Also Vinnie Paz, Outlawz, Immortal Technique, Redman, OutKast, and so many more. Plus the speakings of Professor Griff and KRS-One. Not just the music, but the interviews, the back stories, who they truly are.. all helped to mold me into who I am and lead me down a positive path. I'm a very detailed and precise person. When there are no role models or parents present it is the music, drugs, and/or gangs that will take that place for the youth. In my case it was the music, desire for knowledge, and desire to be something better and make it out and change lives along the way.

In the summer of 2006 I decided to pursue a rap career. In 2007 I was one of the first members of a site founded by Steve Rifkind called Loud and that is where I got my first experiences at recording and networking with other artists. I spent many years perfecting my craft and expanding my knowledge. I spent more time writing acapella and expanding my knowledge, than I did recording and releasing; which had it's pros and cons to this day. Before you attempt to gain knowledge or understanding on anything in this life, you must obtain knowledge of self. It is the most important step you can take. Without knowledge of self you know nothing. Researching various topics, studying various MC's, and personal growth. Then around 2010/2011 I began taking my rap career even more serious and began developing a plan to reach the public. I only write the things I've seen and been through. No fabrication for sales and no exaggeration to seem 'real'. The definition of real is so twisted in rap, depends who you ask and is usually wrong. The game today is twisted and there is no balance. I'm here to show that a rapper can stay real and no sell his/her soul for a deal or sales like almost all have. There are still MC's who care about the music, the people, and the passion. When this all began it was about uplifting the people and helping society in a positive way; that is what we need to get back to. Not this materialistic bullshit of guns, gangs, drugs, sex, bling, degrading women, and so on. Hip-Hop ain't dead, just brain dead on a mainstream level. Turn off your radio, turn off your TV and rid your life of that.


Most rappers (if not all on a mainstream level today) are nothing more than gimmicks. They are products created by the label and marketed; puppets. With me you get no gimmicks and there is no fabrication to my story or lies within my music. What you hear is the truth. Lyricism, Emotion, and Poetry. Never will I claim to be the best or the most lyrical or anything like that, but in the end my name will be among them. There is no best or number one above all. Hip-Hop has been dumbed down on all levels today and needs a drastic change; a Revolution. Unlike most I'm not saying we need to go back to the Golden Era, but we need to bring upon something similar.. A game where the rappers do not lie or fabricate their lyrics, a game where fans have an open mind (artists too), a game where beef stays on wax and away from gun play, a game where beef is not a promotion method and issues are talked out and not publicized, a game where awards and sales do not brainwash the masses into believing that equals talent, a game where you turn on the radio and have variety; not the same songs from the same labels and groups/artists being replayed and force feed to you, a game where the music puts out a positive and uplifting vibe and does not promote the negative. "Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable."

They say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree and that is a statement I prove wrong with each day. With the history of my family, my childhood, and my environment most are shocked to look and see who I am. I've been prejudged my entire life because of my home, family, and friends. Plus I'm white and rap, so all the shit that comes with that from ignorant people. Don't judge what you don't know and keep an open mind. Things are never what they seem. Eventually I will get into the family history when the times right. Being prejudged and a victim of mistakes that aren't even mine have developed a type of complex within me that I will prove everyone wrong and show you can defy the odds.


With my music I want to make a real and noticeable change. I want my music and words to help others as certain MC's have helped me. I don't rap for money, fame, or any of that bullshit.. I'm here to affect peoples lives and mind-states, here to put back what I make into the community and make a real impact. I'm here to build a better life for me and everyone around me. Again the music is just the first step, this goes so much deeper.

Names/Alias':
Joe, Joey, Idris (Enoch), J.S., Neo, Kaos/K.A.O.S. etc..

Full MC name: Joe Malik Rameer. (5).
J- God Will Increase, Jehovah increases, Increaser,
May he add, God shall add.
M- King or Chieftain, Sovereign, Master, He who owns.
R- No definition found besides: One who is a great judge. Not a known or used name, I am the first I know of to use this name.


I knew eventually people would began asking "Why Rameer" or "What does Rameer" mean.. and one of our friends Misty was the first to ask, so:

Reason.. because I didn't want a generic name or a gimmick name because I'm not a gimmick.. so I wanted to use my real name, because my music is me. So I stuck with Joe and researched names and choose Rameer because it's technically not even a name so I can be the first create the meaning behind it. Joe Malik Rameer.
