for having this platform. Thank you for having me on your platform. And
4:15
I love how y'all do the intro. It's all professional and all the graphics
4:18
and all exciting television type stuff. I was like, let's go, let's
4:23
go. For those who just joined there who did not, I may not
4:26
know me. I am Moody Black born in bread in Sparboro, South Carolina.
4:30
I'm not resident in Greenville, South Carolina. But I've been involved in
4:32
the arts since I was like three years old and joining painting as a visual
4:35
artist. Still am been doing a lot of painting stuff and selling paintings,
4:40
spoken word poetry, acting, comedy, uh, just everything except don't ask
4:46
me to sign. I can't sign though, but a hip hop all that.
4:49
But yeah, I've been involved in arts for a very long time.
4:53
Professionally as a teaching artist past eight, nine, ten years something like that.
4:59
But I'll go to the schools in school's contract to come in to a
5:01
residency program. But these kids had to have fun with poetry. So yeah,
5:05
I'm all that except a cycle to ask me to sign. Oh my
5:11
goodness. So my first question is when did you fall in love with poetry?
5:19
Ah? Love the hip hop question, but he put poetry, and
5:23
I love it. I love it. I always tell the story. I
5:27
didn't always like to read and write. I just wanted to draw us.
5:29
All I wanted is draw and paint. That's all I wanted to do.
5:31
So around eleven years old, I found myself in a hallway had We had
5:35
this long hallway and the only thing in the hallway was this bookshef my mama
5:40
had, And I'm going through the bookshelf and I found this book. It's
5:45
entitled This Time called Life by Portney and Raw to Render out of Portland,
5:49
Oregon. I want to meet this guy, but the pictures drew me.
5:55
Like anytime anybody like to read, you look for the pictures first. I'm
5:58
seeing these people who saw black and white photos of young people hanging out beaches
6:02
and nature scenes and drew me in and besides each picture that was small poems,
6:06
and all the poems were about being young and free. And I'm young.
6:10
I wanted to be free. So I started doing poems and they really
6:13
inspired me. Yeah, then I just started writing from them, writing my
6:16
feelings. They taught me that I can express myself. But more pointly,
6:20
punts of my mom. My mom always kept my sister and an eye involved
6:24
in the arts. She would watch Saturday Night Live. We stay up with
6:27
her and seeing all these skits and all the stuff, so we would renact
6:30
a lot of stuff from home. And uh, just self expression has always
6:32
been a big thing in our house. So when I find that book,
6:35
I just wrote and started writing and sharing my poems and it's been on popping
6:40
since then. What was the first poem that you ever wrote? Oh,
6:47
I'm quite sure it had something to do with me loving some girl. I
6:50
hope she liked me back and stuff like that. And roses are green and
6:54
the flowers are gray. I'm quite sure of something like that. But U
6:59
but he involved. I have evolved since then. Okay, we go back
7:04
well over twenty years. For those who don't know, we were members of
7:12
Kim Folk. Kim Folk, let me ask you, what's the difference for
7:17
you between the hip hop era and poetry? Where do where do the lines
7:25
connect? For you? It always has. Once I started writing poetry,
7:30
I was started rapping around the same time, and actually writing poetry helped me.
7:34
It still helps me as a writer of hip hop because you learned so
7:40
many poetic devices and strategies write the poem. You apply those same strategies and
7:46
writing hip hop now, my only don't they with me? I'm a tab
7:49
bit biased with hip hop because to me, it's like more more freedom to
7:55
me, just a little bit more freedom where I just not a whole out
7:59
of guidelines. But at the same time, it's more structure as far as
8:03
keeping the rhyme going in hip hop versus poetry. But I just I love
8:07
just having just that that edging this and the rhyme into a beat versus I
8:13
can do a beat with poetry. But I'm a little bit bias hippop.
8:16
My heart always go to hip hop, but poetry helped me become a better
8:18
writer. It's all the same to me, I tell you, that's why,
8:20
that's the that's the whole gimmick. I hate to say, give me,
8:24
but that's the hook for kids. I do a tech chart on the
8:28
board and tell me something about poetry, and tell me something about songs.
8:31
And when we do the whole little chart, they start realizing all the things
8:33
the same thing on both sides, you know, right, so it's the
8:39
same, It's all the same. Okay. I've always looked at you as
8:48
kind of like Spartanburg's common. I take that the way you dress, the
9:00
way he has a bigger the bigger those but okay, it's fine. So
9:05
we're not gonna do coming like I take. I take that take that I'm
9:11
a guy. I'm a guy. I can't say he fand you know,
9:13
I mean we were in a new era. We can give props where no
9:18
no, I say like, oh he fine. Now I'm just saying he
9:22
coold. I like, you know, he's straight. But you know,
9:28
I've always looked at you from that standpoint as far your delivery, with your
9:35
hip hop and things that you were right because you were my ghost writer because
9:43
I can rap. I can rap, but I can't write, So you
9:46
know, leaned on you a little for that, but not to sidetrack the
9:54
conversation. I know that you deal with kids, and you built with kids
10:00
for quite a long time. I know that you've dealt with them in the
10:07
sports arena, and I know that you deal with them in poetry. What
10:11
is that like, going from teaching them the fundamentals of bouncing the ball to
10:18
the fundamentals of putting the word together and forming poetry. Well, to me,
10:24
it's all art. That's why I was able to I've always been an
10:28
artist, but I always had a fascination with basketball. I love watching basketball.
10:33
My best friend, I shout out John se Weaver, we played it
10:37
and watched basketball Sceenior were kids. But when I start breaking the game down,
10:39
I realized, with the strategies and stuff, you have to do.
10:43
Same thing with writing poetry. So I looked at it, I visualize it.
10:46
It's all art, whether it's writing or visual art, to me was
10:50
all art. So I was able to take those fundamentals and coaching and trying
10:54
to find ways to get a kid to get it. I do the same
10:58
thing with writing or trying to find a way to get a kid to really
11:01
get it. I find it. I had to find that kidney visioncy where
11:03
they are and work with them within those parameters. So it's pretty much it's
11:07
same to me. You know, what's been your defining moment in poetry to
11:13
like where the light bulb goes up and you're like, yeah, this is
11:18
what I'm supposed to be doing. Oh. Just when I got out of
11:22
high school, I started traveling, doing a lot of open mics. Then
11:26
once I, you know, start getting paying my dues. When I started
11:31
hearing people telling me like, yo, I want to have you here.
11:33
Can you come to my church? Can you come to my school? He
11:35
cut to my event on my community center and to perform. I'm like,
11:39
okay, I must be pretty decent. And I just kept doing that and
11:43
insteadying the game. You know, then start getting to the poetry slam competitions
11:48
and you know, start get some wigarooms to grow with that and win some
11:52
competitions here and there. I'm like, okay, I can do something with
11:54
this. Then once I started really breaking it down, guess how my mind
11:58
were. I break things down. I canna tell kids, yeah, you
12:01
go look at life like lego blocks. So I started putting blocks together,
12:05
and I realized I can find a unique way of getting people to understand it,
12:09
not just kids. I do it talk workshops as well, so I
12:13
find a way to break things down and channel to that person, to find
12:16
a way to for them to express themselves. Funny story. I remember you
12:22
had to do a battle. I can't It was was in Greenville. Y'all
12:31
came with me. Oh man, I didn't come. I didn't come.
12:37
I was okay, I know it's right. Because Rico was supposed to pick
12:43
me up from work. He ain't make it. But that's another story for
12:48
another day. Because I was, I was ready to chop both of you
12:52
off at the knees because I was like, but then, you know,
12:54
he expressed to me, you know how you were going in and you were
12:58
doing this and that, and then you went up against the girl and you
13:01
was like, you know, try to be soft on her because it's a
13:05
girl. And he was like, no, you got to you got to
13:09
give it to us. You did, and and you walked away with whatever
13:13
that prize was for that. What was that moment like for you? It's
13:18
funny you bring that up and tell how disconnected the porch. I'm telling a
13:22
funny story with that whole thing. First of all, shadow we go with
13:24
my corner man. Man. It was riddle like a boxing match and we
13:28
goes get me right every round. But with that young lady, it's like
13:33
they wanted her to win. We we had we had to go two or
13:35
three times. Like I was going to everybody else, I got to herd
13:39
and it was the whole crowd judgment thing. It was even and and I
13:45
was no, I was killing her, and they were like, oh,
13:46
that was rooting for I Like, come on, I made this girl win.
13:48
Man, come all down, but he told you off with her head
13:52
off with her. Yeah, the final round, I just had to go
13:56
grinding. Man had uh like that's not make you don't get her, but
14:05
so excited you know when he came home to talk about it, because I
14:09
was like I had steam coming out my ears because I'm like, yo,
14:16
my feet hurt, and I'm agree, but you know, he had to
14:22
do. And he was telling me how you got down and he said,
14:26
he was like, you know you can't. You can't take your foot off
14:30
the gas. You got to give it to us. Yeah, he got
14:33
on me, man, but one of the participants shout out, my man,
14:37
Jonathan Brown, John Brown, he wraps, he do poetry. So
14:41
I ended up beating him. But The next night, I drove back to
14:43
Gabrielle because that the battle rap was on a Saturday. Recall, I said,
14:50
I recall, say what I was asked about you earlier. Bronco my
14:56
corner back, He'll give me straight. But I came back to Coffee Underground.
15:01
They had poetry and that's my first time hearing about portry slam. I
15:05
didn't know the rules and how that worked. I just had one point memorized.
15:09
So I ended up going and I didn't know it's three round. So
15:13
I did the first round and I had the highest score and I thought I
15:16
was done, and it was like all right points for the second round,
15:18
and I was first, and I like second round, Oh my, I'm
15:20
cooking through my notebook and the stumbling. I didn't win, but the guy
15:24
who ended up winning, John Dea Brown, won and that same guy would
15:28
to get the night before in the rap. But I beat him in the
15:31
rap battle and he beat me in the portry Sam. Wow. Yeah,
15:37
I'll never forget that one. Was that like a humbling experience. It came
15:41
out in one arena and him taking you out in another. Yeah, but
15:46
I felt some kind of way, But it was a lesson it was a
15:50
lesson once I saw how it went okay, And we end up being the
15:54
same slam team a couple years later, and we would travel compete against other
15:58
teams different cities. So yeah, and me and him got closed and I
16:03
used that opportunity to the only fundraising and travel different cities and poetry. Man,
16:08
But just watching how these other vents, how they do, how they
16:11
carry themselves, and let them talk about some of the people go to these
16:15
colleges and stuff, and I'm like, I'm wanna do that. We go
16:18
to colleges too. I'm gonna go to school too, So take notes.
16:22
So that whole season was a lot of growth for you. Man. Look
16:26
but that nightmare all epic every night, man shout out Rico in the building.
16:30
Man, Yeah, ricnna have you right, bro. I've witnessed you
16:37
in a space of where we were doing hip hop, and you know,
16:44
some places we couldn't get our foot in the door, and then some places
16:48
we were just like the main the main course. And it's been a humbling
16:53
ride to be a part of all of that because of course, you know,
16:59
I like to say and do things of that nature. And y'all brought
17:03
that out of me, you know, and being able to perform in front
17:07
of people. In the beginning, it was like, you know, nerve
17:11
boggling. So you know, for you with the poetry, what is that
17:17
like, getting in front of people and just going with it? What is
17:22
that like for you? I'm always nervous, I tell people, don't believe
17:26
me, but I embraced it. I tell people to embrace that. It's
17:30
a good thing because when you're nervous, it's gonna push you. It's like
17:33
a sickle swell. You get on stage, your nerves like, look,
17:37
all right, be nervous, but you're gonna have to do somethingboudy. You
17:40
got to go hard to go get out of here, and you are in
17:42
there, so it just pushed you great. And I read this article with
17:45
Denzel Washington was talking about when he does Broadway any kind of stage where how
17:49
he's always always, you know, nervous, but how it wishes him to
17:55
be great and perform. Well, So I'm like, shoot, if Dinzel
17:57
get nervous, I ain't no this It's okay. Then you get nervous.
18:03
Human looks like I hear you know. That's how I look at it.
18:07
Man. But yeah, uh and once again shot of my man, johonny
18:11
se Weaver. He has a slogan he say, man, we performing the
18:12
light song. So you just got to you know, like click, just
18:17
go there and get it. Go get it man. You know, right,
18:22
how far has poetry taken you? Like? Has it? Have you
18:26
been able to travel and see the world with your poetry? Not the world.
18:30
I've been out over the country though, and the world is next.
18:33
Uh yeah. Poetry has allowed me to accomplish a lot of things. Man.
18:40
And because once I got to high school, like I said I was,
18:42
I was a visual artist. I was drawing and painted and uh not
18:45
the one time I heard you from me personally, Oh you're gonna do somethingbody,
18:52
Yeah, come see, well you need you need to come to my
18:55
play. No, I'm gonna talk about that in a minute. But once
18:59
I realized my paintings wasn't selling after high school, I wasn't making no money
19:04
selling paintings. And once people start liking my poetry, I'm like, okay,
19:08
can you find me? Okay, I can I can try to this.
19:11
I mean, I'm still working, but I'll make a little change here
19:14
and there. But past eight years I've been going hard. Just this is
19:18
full time for me. Okay. But uh, but once I got with
19:21
the Poorgry Slam team and watch how the business handle and all the fundraising,
19:25
I'm like, okay, let me so I could do this for myself.
19:27
And once I built the name for myself, I started booking shows. I
19:30
start touring, and I've been a lot of places across the country. A
19:36
lot of stories. That's that's another, that's another show. I got some
19:38
stories, man, Well you do know I'm bringing you back because we got
19:42
to hear them stories we got. I got some stories, man, I'm
19:47
trying to tell you. Oh, let me know if I have to put
19:49
a parental advisory out there. No, no, no, no like that.
19:53
Just it's just it's just too long. I mean some stories. Oh
19:57
to be asked, what the play about? Okay, I'm gonna go ahead
20:00
segue for those who list Like I said, I'm an actor. As a
20:03
matter of fact, me and my man joyning to see a few other people.
20:07
We actually won state the state data competition in high school and we've been
20:11
in a part of the data program since since junior high school. But anyway,
20:17
not only I write poems, I've been writing scripts for movies and plays,
20:21
and a couple of years ago, about three or four years ago,
20:22
I started noticing the poets these poems start saying, we're gonna do one man
20:26
stage play. I'm doing man stage play, and I'm gonna go support them.
20:30
And I'm listening, I'm like, you just doing poems, You're just
20:33
doing a feature set. I'm like, this is not I don't look at
20:36
it like a one man stage. But but they just performing a poem.
20:37
Okay. So I'm like, well, I'm gonna make a play. I'm
20:41
not gonna just do a bunch of poems. I'm gonna actually write a script
20:44
for myself. We'll do it all real. I'm not saying what they were
20:48
doing wasn't real, but doing authentic one man stage play. And uh,
20:52
it's called The Other Side of Tomorrow. January twentieth, y'all, seven o'clock
20:59

21:04

21:10
playing his character named John, and John is really telling my story, but
21:14
it ain't from me. So I got people names, but it ain't their
21:19
name. But the whole plot just here's my thirty thirty second element elevator speech.
21:27
So the other side tomorrow is character John. He's lost love, he
21:32
lost his job, he lost himself, and the whole time it's a journey
21:34
taking people through through humor and a lot of dramatic parts in it. Well,
21:38
he's rediscovering himself or get more self awareness. But we're talking about the
21:44
love he's lost and people he lost along the way. But he's growing and
21:48
learning to understand andself and how he fair in society. Just with those things.
21:53

23:33
really different in the Upstate, you know. So yeah, I'm excited day.
23:38
I'm proud of you too, Thank you, thank you. So you
23:42
know I'm about to put you on the spot, going were about to put
23:51
you on the spot, I do. Here's some poetry. I want to
23:56
hear some poetry. You know. The cool thing is I don't have to
24:03
get ready because I stay ready. You know what I mean. You know
24:07
what I'm saying. I am gonna do an oldie BUGHIDDI. I actually did
24:12
a ted X talk, a brief talk, but I talked about depression.
24:18
How I battled that with poetry as well. And I did this poem.
24:22
It's called Priceless, and it kind of encompass all that. How I feel
24:26
that there's a poet and everybody out there in the world is supporting all of
24:30
us. All right, here we go. So this this is for the
24:37
poets that go place to place and not make a penny. Hope it's somebody
24:41
to give one for your thoughts, because thoughts of all that poets have to
24:45
give, so you hope that somebody would at least give you something, especially
24:51
after the landlord hands you in a viction notice. So after stress, you
24:53
flip that piece of paper over, sprible some lines, and nine times out
24:56
of ten you keep it because you have to deal with both sides of that
25:00
paper. Now, one side of that paper the date where you gotta have
25:04
all your stuff out of the house. But on the other side it's a
25:07
poem, and not just any poem, but the poem becomes a soundtrack to
25:11
your sanity. Instead of have a nervous break down, you broke down your
25:15
spoons, your struggles with the pen and seek your sadness and sorrows with the
25:19
stanza are soded and holst to make tomorrow a better day. Some say you
25:25
better pray, because having a stress can pray on your soul. So port
25:27
your soul to a soul that will listen. Go in place to place empty
25:32
not your soul, and sometimes leave empty pockets. But you would a trade
25:34
in that therapist session that some people call reciting a poem for anything in that
25:40
moment. It's priceless. This is for all those do not know that they
25:47
are poets and at some point in English class we flip past the portry session
25:52
that sets yourself away to say, oh, portray for me, or poetry
25:55
is boring those who never see themselves, sowing in the blue skies, resting
25:59
on white cloud wearing a white tea with all whites and a white fitted hat
26:02
that reads free those who have seen themselves. When I sing outfit on stage,
26:06
your platform, mike or no mic, only because you never seen yourself.
26:10
But if you see yourself, you're free yourself. Instead of wrapping your
26:15
hood, you put on a hoodie, write a poem and make a movement,
26:18
because once you see somebody give me their hearts souls a moveing. It
26:22
don't cost that much to do it. Just go down to the dollar stove,
26:25
get a pack of pins and a composition you put for two dollars and
26:27
some change for a chance to change somebody's lightning in that movement. It's priceless
26:36
And finally, y'all, this is for me. Ever since I was a
26:38
fetis in pearl Reabu's wound, visualizing this day, hopeing someone inspired me write
26:42
a poem to inspire changing somebody's life, screaming for it to come out,
26:47
because the only outlet is his poetry. When you feel like a penguin without
26:49
a heart, song to your happy feet, move to the beats and the
26:53
rhymes of the hopes of heaven a better day. You rete a poem in
26:56
every debt notification, then be peeled to the world. No was on the
27:00
old than the seciety of your words. Your early life without poetry was boring.
27:04
But it takes you going on some things, put it down on paper
27:08
that you go on somethings to make it all. With violent poets, we
27:11
feel like our poem's with millions. But to someone give me their last five
27:17
dollars to purchase your CD, your book, your merchandise, knowing they'll pay
27:21
check away from being homeless, m for that moment, it's priceless. You
27:30
had a clap, You got a clap, man, you're a clap You
27:33
snapped doing the pall, you stopped doing the pall etiquette. I love it.
27:42
Yeah, Yeah, that's needed, man, I get all the time.
27:48
Yeah. So the thing with a snapping, of course, it started
27:51
in like the fifties doing the beatnic area era. Excuse me, but you
27:53
snap like you hear a line that you liked on the oh I like that
27:56
line. So you want to interrupt the ball, that's when you snap.
27:59
And when the was done, he clapped. I had told this lady I
28:02
was promoting with it. I do poetry. Oh you're a poetry started snapping
28:04
in my face. I was like, honey, yo, get fighting us
28:08
out my face. So I just love right there. I'm telling me.
28:14
And Big Old was doing the show one time. You're like two hundred some
28:17
people audience like a whole bunch of snapping. Make my flesh crawl. Oh
28:21

28:38

28:48

29:06

29:52
what we roll. I know that. That's I don't know none of my
29:56
lines, but I'll say about the other to day. I need to find
30:00
the CD somewhere. I can't remember that. The last time we talked about
30:08
Kim Folks, Stephen Crocker, God risk, his soul was. He wouldn't
30:14
do it. He wanted to. He hit. We talked a lot too.
30:19
Man shot the man shot my man, Stephen Crocker. Man. I
30:22
love Crocker. Yeah, he wanted he loved that, he loved us.
30:26
Man. He wanted to we distributed that CD altum. He wanted to put
30:30
it back out. Yeah, yeah, that would have been so so cool.
30:36
But and things happened for a reason, Like everybody chose their own paths
30:44
now, and you know it always gets greater later. So yeah, now
30:51
what you're doing is where you need to be. That's that's your element,
30:56
like that, that is what you were called to do. You know a
31:02
lot of us go through life not knowing what our purpose is, and you
31:07
know, trying to get our purpose from somebody else, you know, you
31:12
know, trying to like I guess, bite off of their purpose or whatever.
31:18

31:25
