T Kash - Turf War Syndrome
- Thread starter City Situation
- Start date
Man, I really appreciate the support. It has been a blessing to be able to say what I have to say, and not feel the typical backlash from the fans and the hood , like some of my other colleauges get. Of course , the content of my songs , my religion , and my affiliation with certain religious organizations are not for everyone. But to know that everyone can appreciate the complete an honest truth about life in these streets from a more focused and sober perspective is a blessing.You don't always get that.
Turf War Syndrome dropped smack dead in the of the peak of the hyphy movement , and every other region's resistance to Bay Area hip hop in general. AND IT SURVIVED. Threads like these are the main reason it did.They dont mean shit to some , but they are the world to ME man , for real. Thank you for the respect brother (and rich) , it's mutual.
I reflect on how many records and artists I was told I had to be like , and they are all GONE. Say what you want , but the bottom line is T-K.A.S.H.,
PARIS and GUERRILLAFUNK RECORDINGS are still here.
My next album, "Brains all over the streets" is almost done.
My faith-based mixtape/Audio-lecture disc, "Follow The Signs" is done , and will be out VERY soon.

Yeah I heard When off the myspace. I was wondering where I could get that.
I remember seeing you on KRON4 about the hiphop chess thing but I never made it out there. I never heard any of your music but I was at amoeba looking for vinyl and I saw Turf War Syndrome for only $3. I read the song titles and remembered the name so I knew it was gonna be some real shit. I'm glad I got it on vinyl too. I'll cop that new album when it comes out.
on another note.. did you know Verichip is now called X-Mark? These current times are very important for the future of the world. It's crazy.

real talk....those RFID chips are bad news for everyone....not just from the standpoint of being marked and tracked but theres alot of information out there reguarding the how the frequencies can/might be used for control as well.
Glad to see people are talkin about that......and yea, T-Kash's music is the truth no doubt.

WASHINGTON - Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny computer chip approved Wednesday for implantation in a patient’s arm can speed vital information about a patient’s medical history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it could open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it.

Think UPC code. The identifier, emblazoned on a food item, brings up its name and price on the cashier’s screen.
Chip's dual uses raise alarm
The VeriChip itself contains no medical records, just codes that can be scanned, and revealed, in a doctor’s office or hospital. With that code, the health providers can unlock that portion of a secure database that holds that person’s medical information, including allergies and prior treatment. The electronic database, not the chip, would be updated with each medical visit.
The microchips have already been implanted in 1 million pets. But the chip’s possible dual use for tracking people’s movements — as well as speeding delivery of their medical information to emergency rooms — has raised alarm.
“If privacy protections aren’t built in at the outset, there could be harmful consequences for patients,” said Emily Stewart, a policy analyst at the Health Privacy Project.
To protect patient privacy, the devices should reveal only vital medical information, like blood type and allergic reactions, needed for health care workers to do their jobs, Stewart said.
An information technology guru at Detroit Medical Center, however, sees the benefits of the devices and will lobby for his center’s inclusion in a VeriChip pilot program.
“One of the big problems in health care has been the medical records situation. So much of it is still on paper,” said David Ellis, the center’s chief futurist and co-founder of the Michigan Electronic Medical Records Initiative.
'Part of the future of medicine'
As “medically mobile” patients visit specialists for care, their records fragment on computer systems that don’t talk to each other.
“It’s part of the future of medicine to have these kinds of technologies that make life simpler for the patient,” Ellis said. Pushing for the strongest encryption algorithms to ensure hackers can’t nab medical data as information transfers from chip to reader to secure database, will help address privacy concerns, he said.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday announced $139 million in grants to help make real President Bush’s push for electronic health records for most Americans within a decade.
William A. Pierce, an HHS spokesman, could not say whether VeriChip and its accompanying secure database of medical records fit within that initiative.
“Exactly what those technologies are is still to be sorted out,” Pierce said. “It all has to respect and comport with the privacy rules.”
Applied Digital gave away scanners to a few hundred animal shelters and veterinary clinics when it first entered the pet market 15 years ago. Now, 50,000 such scanners have been sold.
To kickstart the chip’s use among humans, Applied Digital will provide $650 scanners for free at 200 of the nation’s trauma centers.
Implantation costs $150 to $200
In pets, installing the chip runs about $50. For humans, the chip implantation cost would be $150 to $200, said Angela Fulcher, an Applied Digital spokeswoman.
Fulcher could not say whether the cost of data storage and encrypted transmission of medical information would be passed to providers.
Because the VeriChip is invisible, it’s also unclear how health care workers would know which unconscious patients to scan. Company officials say if the chip use becomes routine, scanning triceps for hidden chips would become second nature at hospitals.
Ultimately, the company hopes patients who suffer from such ailments as diabetes and Alzheimer’s or who undergo complex treatments, like chemotherapy, would have chips implanted. If the procedure proves as popular for use in humans as in pets, that could mean up to 1 million chips implanted in people. So far, just 1,000 people across the globe have had the devices implanted, very few of them in the United States.
The company’s chief executive officer, Scott R. Silverman, is one of a half dozen executives who had chips implanted. Silverman said chips implanted for medical uses could also be used for security purposes, like tracking employee movement through nuclear power plants.
Such security uses are rare in the United States.
Meanwhile, the chip has been used for pure whimsy: Club hoppers in Barcelona, Spain, now use the microchip to enter a VIP area and, through links to a different database, speed payment much like a smartcard.

The theory to this chip is that it could be used to alter the mindstate of a people in click of a button , and/or possibly be the prequel to a cyborg civilization, which then eliminates certain races and/or social groups deemed "primitive' or non progressive" as it applies to the evolution of humans.
Simply put , if hip hop became too much of a threat in the future , and industry politics weren't enough......the minds of the people could be swayed to reject hip hop via this chip's ability of creating artificially induced/forced emotion into your mind by boosting the levels of the chemicals that produce more or less of the various emotions found in our brains. It could also program your body to feel discomfort and/or induce disease when your mind does not agree with certian agendas like war , net neutrality , WHACK ASS MUSIC , etc.
But hey , what do I know. lol

Real talk. Shame is a beast too. That whole California album is good. Whats Gangsta is so damn good.
Yeah Social Security, Federal Reserve, World Bank, Electoral College, it's all bullshit.
Yeah. We're moving more towards being barcode humans and just a number. They wanna digitalize everything (Real ID). If they do, then it's a lot easier to make it look like someone never existed, change the news, etc.
