This Negro’s Spiritual…
AUDIO By TSSCrew on May 31, 2008 at 2:54 pmWords By Contraâ„¢
“Memories…don’t live like people do.” - Dante Beze
But music does.
Part of the reason for this, is that through all the strife and struggle, all pleasures and parties, there is music. Our feelings, perspectives, dreams and realities are all bottled in a beat with a melody somewhere out there.
For me, I travel. A lot.
I remember when I first listened to “30 Something” on Kingdom Come and Jay said to me, “You ain’t got enough stamps in your passport to fuck with Young H.O.”
I stared back at the speakers…
“Ehm…actually, Mr. Jigga, I do. What I don’t have is space for more stamps.”
I couldn’t understand what his fascination with traveling was.
Island hopping over the summer is cool. Being able to stare at a globe and paint memories with your eyes next to each city name you read is ineffably dope.
But being away so often or so long that kids grow up behind your back, friends forget your face, lovers leave you, and you no longer know what a “home” feels like is probably the closest feeling to death a man can experience in his lifetime.
It’s one of those “gift and the curse” dichotomies that leave one’s soul weary. Every journey is an emotional tug-of-war, which is generally why most of the faces you see at the airport are not smiling.
I am one of those solemn faces with travel documents in my front coat pocket and my loyal Jansportâ„¢ strapped to my back, and iPod earphones plugged into my dome like IV-tubes for my troubled mind.
My sanity greatly hinges on being able to put melody to the madness, harmony to the heartache and soothe my soul with a song. Having theme music for my struggle turns an enslaving, painful occupation into a poetically beautiful struggle. This song, ladies and gentlemen, is this Negro’s spiritual.
DJ Honda & Mos Def - Traveling Man (Album Version)
If ever you have to leave, or have been left; be you a soldier, a businessman, an MC, a wife, friend, parent, child, brother or lover that has uttered the words “Goodbye” with uncertainty and hurt, bump these songs a little.
Let ‘em massage your soul.

And of course, as a bonus…

and all that jazz !
Dope words & a dope choices of tuneage (my new word lol) to accompany them.
Nah I seriously wish I could travel more, broadens the mind if you ask me and I could do with some mind broadening at this moment.
PS: C3 is better than expected
they’ll always remember you
whether things are good or bad
it’s just the memories that you have”
peace to Mos & Beenie Man.
both songs always have a spot on the ipod.
I been loving this song for a long minute. Good choice

How’s that wayne looking, folks?
Been bumping this since you sent it out Contra,
thank you.
@ Contraâ„¢
IMO - flashes of greatness mixed w/ generous portions of psycho-babble…
“iPod earphones plugged into my dome like IV-tubes for my troubled mind…”
nice…
Good read Contra…Good choice of theme music..Traveling is my vice as well. More for pleasure than work though. So when i’m dippin’ in and out of different countries i’m usually in kickin’ it mode, rather than work mode…I swear that sometimes the iPod is psychic while traveling and on shuffle..lol
Damn Contra,
You knocked the ball out of the park with this post.
This has been an all time favorite for a while and I don’t think I could ever have done this song justice like you just did.
Well done.

anybody know the original sample used in the song Dr. Carter? It’s been used before, but me thinks I need the original.

Man, i could relate to this post.
salute.
Travelling Man is one of my top 5 songs for me. Sometimes I can’t even listen to it because the emotions that I link to the song are too strong.
