While a standout rapper in his own right, Roger Suggs does not like the way rap music is perceived – and he’s trying to do something about it.
A Community Outreach Liaison at Kansas City Kansas Community College who reaches out to at-risk youth through his Fringe Benefits of Education organization, Suggs has just released his third CD. Entitled “M.I.R.A.C.L.E,” an acronym for “Music Inspiring Real Accomplishment Creating Love Everlasting,” it comes with a DVD track and takes an in-depth look at the positive force of music to change lives and address social issues. Suggs performs under the name Vigalantee.

Nrg here. gotta get this off my chest about election 08
the most important thing said so far to me is something obama said during his exceptance speech.
"The press doesn't get it, they think this election is about me and mccain. In fact, It's really about YOU, all of you, the american people. YOU are the ones who ARE BEING ASKED TO: change, be forward thinking in creating and implementing the changes necessary to get america back on track."
ok, I paraphrased a bit, but that was the jist.
take a moment away from the hype to envision the world you wanna live in. take a moment to see what is truly happening around you right now throughout the world. Wake the F*ck up!
HOPEFULLY, you've given yourself time to really see it for what it truly is without all the petty hype surrounding the candidates and their swirl,
now ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IF YOU BELIEVE ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE:
*WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO?
*WHAT PLAN OF ACTION ARE PREPARING TO IMPLEMENT IN YOUR LIFE TO HELP MAKE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE?
*WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN, HAVE YOUR PARENTS, KIDS, NEIGHBORS, AND FRIENDS LIVE IN?
NOW,be real with the fact that neither of our current candidates
1. are saviors
2. are perfect
3. are Jesus or walk on water
4. know enough about everything to make the sweepin changes that are needed
5.is without fault for our current situation
6.will make it "all better" just by being elected by us.
it will take major efforts (action) by every willing, conscious person worldwide to get things back on track. You and me will have to reign our expectation in through sacrifice and thinking about more than just "ME" and your tiny piece of the world.
we will need to roll up our sleeves along with every other person. This is where who you and I fight to elect to office comes in.
Ask yourself"
who will be flexible, resourceful, uniting, smart, open and even seek new ways to solve old problems.
Who will do the hard thing instead of the easy fast gain bandaide, and
have enough vision to look at the effects now and 5,10,15 years from now?
when you feel you are ready and know who you think our best hope is VOTE!
tell each other your thinking,
tell everyone what you have discovered, and
encourage them to wake up, make a plan, get their minds right and ready to do what the hard and fun things we must do to get our nation on the right road.
peace and thanks
would love to hear back from you
as you think it out for yourself
