Sapu Malaysia

2009-09-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

Isu 1

Mulanya di tengah antara dua negara,

Produser dari negara singa,

Monopoli projek tayangan di skrin global,

Akhirnya berjaya tersiar,

Tariannya tidak dikaji,

Asalnya dari rumpun rejen yang sama,

3 negara sebangsa,

Berkongsi resam adat nan asal,

Isu 2

Kempennya ada di serata dunia,

Didalangi sebuah komplotan,

Rasa hiruk-pikuk pemangsa,

Mungkir janji anak bangsa,

Usir anak cucu pertiwi,

Halang mereka berkampung di sini,

Hak mereka cuma dengan penyapu,

3 negara sebangsa,

Bermandi darah merah di tanah sendiri,

Setakat ini sahaja kali ini.

Gores mancis,

Belerangnya kemerahan bernyala,

Bara kriuk-kriuk asli arang batu,

Tak pun keretek tembakau,

Lekapkan ke bibir mulus,

Sinetron antarabangsa akan berpaling nanti,

Gelojak hati, turutkan

Rontaan minda, hemburkan

Ada rasanya mahu pijak,

Maaf, "jari kelingking kaki berketuat",

Jangan cukur misai,

Jangan cukur pubis,

Jangan cukur ketiak,

Dan jangan cukur kelangkang,,

Pastikan telanjang satu peta dunia dengan warna merah!

Layarnya putih...

DISEBABKAN SELERA MENJAHAMKAN ISRAEL SEMAKIN MEMBUAK, TERINGAT PULA KARYA LAMA SAYA, KALAU DIPERUK MUNGKIN DAH JADI PEKASAM, ELOK DIBUAI PERASA PELUH KEKASIH LU YANG MASAM, TANPA MEMBUANG ADAT RESAM TERIMALAH INI ENTRI YANG PASTI MEMBUATKAN KAMU ORANG HILANG KEINGINAN MEMAKAN ASAM:

YAHUDI LAKNATULLAH
Sejarah yang dahulu,
Kau luah bagai sukma,
Oh, berdarah di hati menanggung azab duniawi,

Lebih baik sendiri,
Hitam-putih ku tentukan,
Oh, bernanah di hati merasa kejayaan non-hakiki,

Agenda,

Yang kau laungkan,
Tak muncul lagi,
Kami dihina,
Dicaci-maki,
Sepak terajang Yahudi Laknatullah

Jiwa Muda Hati Remaja

2008-10-18T22:24:00.000-07:00

Aku, dari dulu lagi,
Belum mahu mati,
Masih goyang kaki,
Belum cari bini,
Entah - mahu yang seksi,
Kalau dah jadi,
Aku tak peduli,
Jiwaku untuk pemudi,
Yang berjati diri,
Gelodak remajaku hingga ke ini - hari,
Si cantik dulu, Belum ada ganti,
Yang pasti pergi,
Biarkan aku sepi,
Apa kau peduli,
Mari kita membising bunyi,
Semuanya di sini:

PELACUR itu pun terus berjalan,
menabur dosa hitam di awangan,
ramai lelaki-wanita sudah jadi pelanggan,
semalam, aku hampir melayan,
nasib ku ingatkan Tuhan,
celaka, membawa kepada azab pangkalan,
mereka perosak bangsa, agama dan taulan,

PELACUR-PELACUR itu pun terus bersuara,
katanya makan tak cukup untuk hidup bersama,
ramai wanita-lelaki sudah jadi pemangsa,
kelmarin, aku tolak percuma,
nasib ku ingatkan dosa-pahala,
celaka, terbawa dari wabak dunia,
mereka penjahanam martabat kita semua,

Berbogel,
Bersolek,
Berbilik,
Bergetah! Ya getah plastik di dalam tangannya.
Si pelacur itu.
Seorang perempuan,
Seorang lelaki,
Ramai perempuan,
Ramai lelaki,
Ada juga transeksual,
Semuanya celaka.
...maka melacurlah mereka ke pengakhiran.

Tiada Besok

2008-09-29T09:11:00.000-07:00

Jadi bermulanya sesuatu

yang mulanya hanya lahir dari bisikan lembut angin

dan niat untuk menggapai sesuatu yang tak pernahnya ada di situ

tetapi sesuatu itu pernah Aku alami

dan seringkali impresinya disalahtafsir

sebagai anasir merumitkan getiran segala predikamen

tapi Aku tak pasti sama ada di alam ini atau alam lain

atau syaitan yang memuja asyik bermain bayang di balik kain

Ya Aku pasti Aku pernah

berserah atau terserah

mungkin sekali dalam mimpi

Aku dan sesuatu barangkali pernah bersatu

melagukan nekad sebab ingin mengumpan bajingan beribu

yang beribukan nafsu untuk meneraju

kaku di kala Aku menjejak langkah pertama memulakan

perjalanan beribu batu yang pengakhirannya Aku tak tahu di mana

tanpa sesiapa menongkat Aku

bumi terhampar luas tiada sempadan antara Aku dan lakhanat semua

yakni mereka.....

Hari terakhir Aku di bumi

tak ingin terlalu selesa di sini kerana pengakhirannya besok pagi

Maka Aku genggam hari ini sehingga berdarah jejakanku

biarkan ia titis meliputi tanah yang menamakanku

menyelimuti jasadku yang lohong tapi

hatiku penuh dengan impi

satu ketika Aku seperti kalian juga

leka dengan andaian besok

kerana besok

adalah seperti kekasih yang seringkali memungkiri

.....berpaling muka lupa untuk kembali pada sisi

Bila tiba pagi

bertaburan remuk janjian

di lantaran akhir

bertemankan azab dunia

para malaikat menyanyikan

Aku pula nazak bertahan

sambil Izraeil memancung jasad dari roh dengan perlahan

tersekat kalimah di tenggorokan

enggan berpisah kerana berat disauh dosa...

he's so sick he needs bedrest...

Restless

2008-08-29T01:16:00.000-07:00

What have we become....

How we overcome
Who we dethroned
Mirror back all the reknown
Tireless
Unfazed
Empty yet faithful
Deadly and hateful
Lethal but it cleanse

As the echoes fade
Let it linger
Let it soothe
Let it transpire this soundtrack to my suicide
May this anodyne purify
Purge as it subside

But before the eleventh hour
And until the Kingdom Come
This is just another prologue
Our roles to play
Our scenes to act out
In this theatre of war

For us
The young and the hopeless...

"Thus we see that the instinct to command others, in it primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of men, it takes on somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its actions. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle, together with the stupidity and ignorance of the masses, upon which it is ever based and without which it never could exist, - it is this principle alone that has produced all the misfortunes, all the crimes, and the most shameful facts of history." - An extract from the book "The Political Philosophy Of Bakunin: Scientific Anarchism"

Farewell Santa Rea

2008-02-28T03:36:00.000-08:00

Tanned skin perfect persona with her gleaming smile
Ladylike but a natural born finisher
Fitted in red, we know she's dressed to kill
All this while, I've been reading between lines
Sent to the rites of every passages admiring every curves
Devoting the way of how God create such physique
Decoding subtle messages assaulting in the form of ciphers
She's a touch of finesse but tainted by lovelost
Cherry ripple flavoured licked lip gloss
Captivated me how she talks with her fillipino accent
Sweetness tinged as I kissed her lips before the double cross
Truly her passion is a godsent sabre
Thus whence love becomes murder
My corronation day draws near
Everybody seems to glide, but me
So go on Gabriela, pull the trigger
But don't trigger your unwanted emotions
Don't keep me tremble in fear depicting the fall of my empire
I have fought against nations,
still The nation's torn between indecisions
Either to enthrone the catalyst or to crown the antagonist
One thing that I can't seem to defeat neither I dare to repeat it
Grasping reality accepting true fate before it's all too late
The embodiment of living is to make existence appears vain
So I lead, I lead this one man massacre
My hatred forged a new path as it seems a new world can be built
Even in the doubt of never...
All these sins has blinded us, misled us, failing us both to remember...
Didn't we just found it, but then how can it evade us?
Elude our senses, persuade us to lower our defenses.

How can love disguise in pretenses?

Now where is it? where does it lies and hide?
I will find it, and once I found it, I swear
It won't live well until they breathe hell...

Look! everybody seems to slide.....Why?

Mistletoe Madness @ Laundry Bar The Curve

2007-12-21T00:45:00.000-08:00

First band to open the show was Bonyari Band from Japan which consists of dreadlocks street performers, didgeridoo and djembe players and precussionist. They performed tribal instrumentals and they also covered John Lennon's "Imagine".

Second up was The Rebel Scum. Despite the absence of Micwrecka, The Rebel Scum still wrecks with Emcees WordsManifest, HQA, and Illson at the helms as DJ Cliq scratches on. They opened their set with WMD, followed by a Lady Dee assisted "Sister sister" TRS also did a DeeBee track with Figure Of Speech repping for The Works performing "Jump Up To The Mic" and closed it with their lead single from their upcoming album The Time Has Scum "BakDatang" which featured NBE and Spit from Naughtius Maximus.

As Republic Of Brickfields getting ready for their set, a number of dreadlocks Rastafarians gathered front and center prepped for a rocksteady raggae tunes by the stadium status vet. The frontman Aru was energetic as ever, he stole the show covered some yesteryears raggae classics from Bob Marley to UB40 to Inner Circle Laundry witnessed more dreads gathering than a Jah cleansing ceremony skanking away to The Republic's lead single Ganjaran. Peace Love Unity indeed.

Last to close down the night was the headliner Shamik the human beatboxer straight from Canada. This guy is sick, he got the tight bass and snares complete with scratches done only by his vocal chords. The man even did a rendition of Timbaland's "The way I are", with the assistance of DJ Nesh crossfading scratches within juggling beats with Shamik's outstanding beatboxing and MC Vandal did an impromptu freestyle as he always do.

Yo! with acts as diverse as tonight Fortnight is definitely the music festival you definitely don't want to miss out.

Have A Happy M.U.N.D.A.E. @ No Black Tie

2007-12-17T23:49:00.000-08:00

This is the very first installment of Have A Happy M.U.N.D.A.E.. And from the looks of tonight it will be pretty difficult for the next installment to top this ones. With the line up consists of up and coming and also established singers and songwriters in KL, namely Shelley Leong, Paolo Delfino, Warren Chan, Reza Salleh, Najwa and Broken Scar the cover charge of RM10 is really a bargain compared to the top quality music that was in tonights performers setlists.

Six acts played a 2 round robin sets, Shelley Leong, Paolo Delfino, and Warren Chan goes on the first round Shelley Leong performed her folk sets, Paolo Delfino performed everything but his single "Little Things" which I looked forward to Warren Chan from the group Ferns, in my opinion performed the shortest sets among the three Christmas spirited and new songs from these singer songwriters are abound tonight. Personally my hats off to Shelley and Paolo for their remarkable stage presence.

The final round started and it is up to 3 more performers to close the show Reza Salleh, Najwa and Broken Scar. 2006-2007 has been a good year for the young and talented Reza Salleh as he kept busy with performing and promoting his EP Smoke City. Tonight this rising star melted the hearts of females as usual with his smooth chords. He previewed his new song and also a song off his EP.

Broken Scar came out not as a group but only the frontman Kevin Teh took centerstage tonight, most of his sets were influenced by Goo-Goo Dolls with a tinge of Creed. Kevin did a great job Rocking the crowd and the audience participated well. Rock On Dude!

Najwa was the sole reason I came. Tonight was the second time I watch her perform, she possesses the voice of a Neo Soul songstress, and it just demanded attention everytime she croons. The crowd asked for an encore and these three ended up playing more songs than their original setlists.

Like I said, it will be pretty difficult for the next installment to top this ones.

Have A Happy M.U.N.D.A.E. was one of the sure way to end a dreary monday blues.

Blacktronica Featuring Charlie Dark, Morgan Spacek, and The Works

2007-12-15T23:23:00.000-08:00

Charlie Dark is the founder of the revolutionary Blacktronica collective and formerly of one third of the critically acclaimed ensemble Attica Blues. He was in the city in conjunction of the Spoken Word showcase happening on the next day.

Me and the crew from PW was hyped for this show from the get go, especially when I found out that the prominent Drum n Bass outfit The Works was going to be the opening act for the night. This event was made possible by the lads from British Council. The four of us arrived at the place around 10 pm and made our way to the new club Heritage Mansion after half an hour finding our way to the club.

As we make our way to the entrance, me and the guys were halted by the bouncer at the door, and the reason being we were not dressed according to the dresscode. I was pissed at first, cause I didn't drove all the way from Shah Alam just to be denied because of the way we dressed.

Something had to be done, I made a call to Shinji (Figure Of Speech) and explained the situation to him. We both talked to the hostess of the club, but she seemed to be strict about the club policy. So Shinji went back in to get Sunitha, the Representative from British Council, but to no avail because the hostess was adamant about the dresscode, but not until Charlie Dark (yes, the headliner himself!) came down and sort this crap out. Me and the guys were finally got in.

Personally and on behalf of the PW crew we would like thank you guys Shinji, Sunitha, and Charlie for getting us in.

Upon entrance Morgan Zarate aka Morgan Spacek spun a few old school RnB and Hip Hop classics with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest including other classics that did not received regular rotations on the decks or on the airwaves to warm up the crowd as DJ Cliq provided some of his signature scratches in between Morgan's mixes. Morgan's production resume ranges from Common, Mos Def, Amp Fiddler to name a few. Currently he’s completing his debut solo album which will be featuring a diverse set of artists including Dizzee Rascal, Ghostface Killer, Raphael Saadiq, and Eska.

About the time the crowd was hyped up, The Works took centerstage and opened the show with 3 outstanding emcees (Figure Of Speech, WordsManifest, and HQA) ripped the mic with their tight rhymes, the crowd was cheering and I can't get enough of the dope beats these maestros churning. DJ Mac provided DeeBee and Jungle beats in full assault with his phenomenal mixing skills (this is the guy who mixed Slayer's "Raining Blood" with Drum n Bass. Believe that!) Cody the conductor of the symphony was twiddling with the sounds and making sure we the audience get the experience of every beatsworth and DJ Cliq were exceptional with his scratches amidst the devastation caused. Me and the crew moshed for a while even Shinji went into the pit. Heritage Mansion wasn't ready for this massive sounds.

The works definitely tore The Mansion down.

After a 45 minutes set it was time for the headliner Charlie Dark himself to take command as he opened the mic to the crowd for an impromptu jams and spoken word performance letting anybody who would rhyme on a beat. The first to step up was Family Boy, second was Saph one half of NBE and these two were also from Rogue Squadron a Malaysian Underground Hip Hop collective, I was the third and the last one of the open mic emcees.

WAYANG KATA V + BLACKTRONICA = DECEMBER COOL! Keeping the spotlight on spoken word

2007-11-23T02:44:00.000-08:00

In the last episode of Wayang Kata, three poets won their way to the Singapore Writer’s Festival. This fifth instalment of the spoken word series welcomes them back on stage along with Charlie Dark and poets from Singapore!

Music producer, club DJ and, yes, poet Charlie Dark is the latest in a line of British talents to come our way. Despite over fourteen years behind the decks, Charlie’s first love was the spoken word. He was one of the individuals responsible for starting the famous Speaker’s Corner jams and he continues to wow audiences with his apt observations and insights whenever he steps up to the microphone. With his flamboyant gestures and vocal gymnastics, Dark has made a dynamic impact on the UK poetry and performance scene.

Before we bring on the poets, though, KL goes dark with Charlie and Blacktronica, a revolution in music and UK club culture. Featuring live performances, DJs, spoken word and more, this is not your average club night!

Seasons Of The Enders (This love poem was inspired by Nissan Serena TV Advertisment)

2007-11-14T22:06:00.000-08:00

Thank GOD for granting me
This bliss of tranquility
As I am shattered
Longing for this remedy

He trusts
As I envy
She lusts
One of us is the true enemy
Betrayal is a must
Infidelity is her only cure
Cleanse this filth of unjust
Bleed us pure

Every holds that she fakes
I linger in a sudden pause
Plotting a collision course
It shall never be a lost cause

I shall take you
All the way through
Together
We Shift the Future
Exile in seasons
Trust
That I'll take you
All the way through......

"Meliur Basi Di Pondok Usang" Piko goes Pop!

2007-10-29T03:58:00.000-07:00

Dulu, kiri-kanan, depan-belakang,
Wa tengok lu lepak,Dengkur, kroh-kroh-kroh leleh liur bawah pondok usang,
Wa tengok lu hoha-hoha, sembang sorak-borak bawah pokok cari makan,

Tapi sekarang ni dah melain,
Yelah, kiri-kanan, depan-belakang,
Wa tengok lu pacak lutut, tegang urat jaga roda, minta hitam putih,
Wa tengok lu tegak diri, depan pondok kutip kata,
Kata apa ya “Pakcik jangan marah ye, nanti kubur panggil tau”

Lu pakai kolar biru, kasut hitam kilat berkiwi, masuk shif 12 jam sehari…kasihan,
Wa tengok lu letih babe, entah kenapa? Mengapa?

2 juta ringgit melayu lesap kerana lu tak punya mata di belakang,
Eheh… bukan lu orang semua meleleh liur basi ke masa tu,
Dewa-dewi DEVA bikin acara mula,

Sekejap semalam bukan lu tengah mengasapkan nikotin,
Sambil teguk the tarik mamak,
Sambil pula fikirkan masalah keamanan di Palestin,
Tapi itu semalam… cerita lama,
Eheh… tapi apa cerita sekarang?
Bukankah dulu lu fight nak sangat tender, nak pagar tiap segi…
Varsiti ini kah dulu yang terbakar tempat tontonnya dek kerana lu,
Eheh… lu masih boleh tersengih-sengih,
Pelik..Horor! memang lu kuno!
Yelah kuno dengan kanun,

Wa lagi hairan tengok kat seberang laut nun jauh tu,
Pegh…kolar biru macam lu gak…
…dengan senapang patah,
…dengan pisau lipat,
…dengan Bulldog hitam,
Tapi lu still bangsa wa kan?
So malas nak caci-makilah encik-encik,
Mukhabarat selalu kata “Lets hire the Gurkha lagi baguih dari bangsa sendiri”

Maaf lah ye pakcik nama wa Wahid bukan Rashid,
That’s why wa bahasakan diri wa sebab wa Wahid,
Nah tak percaya juga, tengok kad ni,
Nah ambik ni!

Erm kenapa pakcik ni tak dengar ke?
Betul, memang betul pakcik ni dah lanjut,
Bekas askar pencen tak pun polis buangan,
Yang muda-muda mana? Anggurkah mereka?

POLICE AND THIEF WANT TO JAGA?
But then POLICE MATI PENCHURIK JAGA
One more time…
POLICE AND THIEF WANT TO JAGA?
But then JAGA TIDUR PENCHURIK JAGA…

‘Meliur Basi di Pondok Usang’ was written on 6th February 2006 for Tun Syed Zahiruddin College, UNIVERSITI MALAYA Poem Competition. It was recited by PIKO as one of the contestants. The poem is about the frivolity of the guards on their jobs which leads to a big robbery happened in Universiti Malaya(UM) as the robbers escaped with the total amount of RM2 million. Outsiders who uses UM as a short cut from Kuala Lumpur to Petaling Jaya always get a hard time at the gates after the incident. This bullshit happens not only for the visitors with vehicles but also with all innocent jaywalkers (like me and you). The poem starts with the guards laziness days before the incident which also featured the previous PM quoted in a premier tabloid in regards of the Gurkha guards to be employed assisting our security industry for the fact that their army is well known in combat. The poem was the only poem came out without any love themes unlike other contestants. For the unique words arrangement and for the venom that it injects this poem was entitled the Grand Prize.

THRICE New Album " The Alchemy Index" Vol I & II

2007-10-25T02:30:00.000-07:00

The Metallic Emocore kids which have evolved into Epic Rockers has released a new studio album entitled Alchemy Index Vol I & II Water and Fire on 10.16.2007. These are the 2 songs that I really love from the album Open Water and Night Diving. I know that they won't play fast metal riffs songs anymore, but this is THRICE for crying out loud, and they never dissapoint. I guessed this is what happen when you listens too much of Radiohead and Damien Rice...

Anyways, Dustin Kensrue the frontman and the main songwriter for the band is and will always be the best lyricist in my book. ONE.

Open Water

Night Diving

Street poets consist of MSK (Mekarnya Satu Kematian) a.k.a Apocalypse Dawn and Piko where their sole mission is to overthrow the misled masses by the forgotten art form, Spoken words.

Formed in April 2007, these Partners in Rhyme met in early 2006 at Troubaganger, a locally organized open mic night by Troubadours and Doppelganger Collective. That is where MSK showcased his wordplay and lyrical prowess. The dwindling state of Soulful and REAL Hip Hop shows in the city forced MSK to look for a venue to perform his work, and his materials were stripped to its core element which came down to an MC and the mic, no beats just words. That night he recited "Seasons of The Enders", "Our love" and "Right Where I Stand" which received overwhelming crowd approval. His style of Battle Rap delivery laced with profound and dark verses depicts the strife of urbanites in these dark ages ("Sekembali", "Kinesis Animated"), damning counterfeit doctrines and of all things decayed by false media mass fabrication, how human now has their own carbon copy, and they are all staged in a fiction conceded by lies ("Intepretasi malam ini, kerana besok kita mati", "Manusia dan Makna", "Discordance").

Each of his rhymes are war cries to the people to Live and to Believe not only just to Exist. MSK is a rebel philosopher where he stood as the last bastion of mere mortal existence. Just what life needs right now: SOUL and SUBSTANCE. Several Shows followed. MSK came front and center not as an MC but as a Poet. He Performed at Fiesta Malam Muzikal Universiti Malaya before an all Rock crowd, backed by a guitar and Djembe, Artport Art shows in Shah Alam, and Converse Buskers at Sunway Pyramid proving that he flows well no matter when he is conversing rhymes in his native tongue (Bahasa Melayu) or English.

Piko's reciting days goes way back to his primary school years. One who possesses the knack for flipping any script and reconstructing it word by word for a whole new meaning in the same verse, redefining terminology in a whole new perspective which force audiences to view the world the only way he knew best. His way. His first ever recital is at Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur in 2000, saw him recited "KFC"(Kentucky ------' Chick), and "Diktator Kukuku Dibesi". These 2 poems etched a mark in the underground poetry scene and the performance poetry public, for this newcomer was about to stir the scene by his unorthodox style of recital and his secular leanings vocab. This was an early sign for the imminent damage ahead. Delivering his rhymes at its rawest and at his most stark, preferring "Street" Bahasa Melayu to DBP standards BM, Piko has left many literature enthusiasts cringed by his explicit content and witty Political undertones, challenging "purists" to pry their mind to a new approach in performance poetry. ("Squirting to the Rainbow").

Arguably one of his best work "Meliur Basi di Pondok Usang" a parodical yet venomous diss piece won the Grand Prize for Universiti Malaya's intercollege poetry writing contest. Numerous shows ensued for Piko, he's a frequent guest poet in any readings held in Universiti Malaya, Doppelganger Open Mic nights every month, notthatbalai Art Festival 2007, RANtai Art event 2006, Converse Buskers at Sunway Pyramid and he also presented his masterpieces before the Legendary Dato' A. Samad Said, honoring The Legend's contributions to Malay Literature scene on his 72nd birthday held at Pelita Hati's House of Art.

Year 2007 saw these 2 fiends on the mic united as a formidable force in the underground poetry scene. And when the mass proclaimed the rest is history, they too told it as it is, the rest is history...IN THE MAKING.

NegaRakuS stands firm against the grain, against the system, against the world, against all odds to forge a new truth. They embrace the dark side of love and life in their path of attainment and atonement, framing their journey by seizing the moment of everyday revolution and presenting at its most honest, embodying it soulfully with a cynical tease just to appease all rustic minds in the dying state of this superficial era.

NOW HAIL.
