“ MY DISCIPLINE AND DIET IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL“
We are living in times where teens are more into dance fads then current events. The television box portrays the lifestyles of the rich and famous while artists like Lauren Hill are doing bids for tax evasion. Countless of them are filing for bankruptcy. The lingering message is that we need to be more accountable of our lives and our communities through financial development and philanthropy. Artist’ s such as M-1 of dead prez isn’ t missing a beat when it comes to this mission. We first touched the topic of discipline. M1: My discipline with diet is on a whole other level. It helps me take it from the mind and put it on the paper which is where the word becomes reality mostly all of the time. It’ s the will and determination. Only discipline is going to help me do that, like, sit down and do this. Do the push up. Get on the floor … You didn’ t do that right. Do it again, do the next one right. UF: What is your regimen? M1: My physical regimen leaves alot to be desired. I have a single on my album“ Confidential” and the hook is‘ do or don’ t do’, and that comes from Bruce Lee. The fundamental difference between working out or not getting up and getting your ass to the gym. The contents of my regimen is being up early, doing a healthy stretch, meditation( yoga) and from there we take to push ups, sit ups to just the bar. I depends. It’ s not a regular thing since I am so much on the road. I move so much, so I just don’ t have a regular work out because sometimes I might have to get up and catch a plane at 6:00 in the morning and not get off until 5:00 in the afternoon. UF: So where do you find balance? M1: The balance is eating healthy. See one of the things about being an artist is that you could never get enough rest. I take little naps where ever I can. It helps repair my body in it’ s crazy way. That’ s the balance of it and first and foremost keeping a peaceful state of mind so that my world won’ t be all up in the air. Stress will do it to you. Stress will kill you like a motherfucker. UF: What is the campaign of the new dead prez album? M1: The campaign of this album is recruitment. We are looking to recruit new soldiers. We are looking to put out our regimen. You see, many have come and gone while we’ ve been doing this. We are still here. We are saying come with us. We’ re not going anywhere. I’ ll even join your army, but it’ s got to be right. UF: Advice to our youth? M1: Get some reality beneath your feet. It will change our circumstances. It will change what we do and what we rap about and who we want as our wife or our girl. Get some reality around us and that will change our whole circumstance. It will inspire us to to get political education with these realities. It will get us where we have to be in order to be the true revolutionaries we have to be. That’ s it.
