Rebellion and George W. Bush
My dear friend T. Earth works as a college counselor at an all boys Catholic high school in the city. He recently explained an "educational" game that the boys play in times of boredom- Wiki Races. It's played by going to Wikipedia.org. The purpose of the game is to only use links within Wikipedia to get from one word to another. The person using the shortest amount of links and/or shortest amount of time is the Winner!
All players involved are given two words. One as the starting place for example, Rebellion (in the hood) and another for the finish line for example, George W. Bush (the enemy).
(evil laughter)
Here is how the Architects played--> shortest amount of links without typing the word in the search box (cause that's cheating).

GOOGLE TOP TEN: REBELLION
For all those people who THINK they know what a Rebellion is...you might want to ask yourself again. I thought that I would find more historial references to rebellions which I will explain in another top ten. As one of the producers of Rebellion In The Hood I think it's one of my responsibilities to let you all know what a rebellion is and its your responsibility to read further and learn all the various types. In my google search for "rebellion" I found some interesting sites that might be of help. Nonetheless you will learn something new cause if ya don't know...NOW YA KNOW!!
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebellion
Rebellion is, in the most general sense, a refusal to accept authority. It may therefore be seen as encompassing a range of behaviours from civil disobedience to a violent organized attempt to destroy established authority. It is often used in reference to armed resistance against an established government, but can also refer to mass nonviolent resistance movements. Those who participate in rebellions are known as "rebels".

Jay-Z Quotes for Personal Growth
The debate over whether or not Hip-Hop artists are or are not role models is really for the birds. We know that each of our geniuses walked the thin line of (in)sanity, and were living, breathing contradictions. What cannot be denied is that we can take what we want of people - their style, vision, writing, teaching, example - and use it to shape the best version of ourselves.
+ 
Quote: I love what I'm doing. I love the artist I'm developing. I love the whole thing about it. Once again, I have to really look at it for the next three years and say, "Am I doing it for the right reasons?" 'Cause all I want to do is make history at this point. They got to pay me to make history of course. But that's my goal. I want to sit there with people really into making history. I mean everybody. I don't mean just artists. The interns -if everybody's not committed to making history every time I go into a meeting, and if I can't look into their eyes and I don't see the fire, then I gotta move on. ' Cause, you know, I don't have time. I don't have the luxury of time to just blow off three years. I do, but I don't. But I'm not looking to have a job. That's not hot! December 2007 XXL Interview
Jullien's Insight: It's about making history. Music is just to the tool.
So we send a big SALUTE to the comrade - Jullien Gordon - for his "Jay-Z Quotes for Personal Growth." And encourage all you rebels to read his blog for a regular dose of empowerment.
+ 
Quote: ...Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself... from A Dream, Blueprint 2
Jullien's Insight: We are fully responsible for our being. We are co-creators (with God) of our lives and can be whoever we choose to be.
