Hip Hop and the Platonic Solids Breakdown

A basic overview of the 5 major elements of Hip Hop, how they are seen on a deeper look and their properties based on Plato's Platonic Solids.. and some feats and endeavors it took for this movement and kulture to become what it is known for today.  Predating Plato, the neolithic people of Scotland developed the 5 solids a thousand years earlier. The stone models are kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England.  Seen and unseen in everything, Mathematics is apart of our nature of universal truth and everything that surrounds us. Because of the calculations used in describing the geometry involving angles and vertices, there can be only 5 Platonic solids!  Plato concluded that they must be the fundamental building blocks—the atoms—of nature, and assigned to them what he believed to be the essential elements of the universe. He followed the earlier philosopher Empedocles in assigning fire to the tetrahedron, earth to the cube, air to the octahedron, and water to the icosahedron.

Breakdancin evolved from tribal as well as synchronization movement to break-beats. This represents FIRE and the physical that ignites Hip Hop's torch to be carried Olympic style thru the ages to come. Its shape is shown when a B-boy or B-girl stands with their feet shoulders' width apart and their arms over their head extended to the palms facing each other touching finger tips as a tetrahedron. When a B-boy or B-girl is spinning on his or her head with feet and hands extended outwards upside down representing an upside down star tetrahedron, showing that when the body is trained thru vigorous exercise it is able to pull the upper and lower divine triangles into equilibrium at the core. The only other art form of dance that comes close to this is Capoeira, a Brazilian form of martial arts from South America which involves lots of inversions as well as acrobatics. The body uses this form of communication to express its highest state in the form of plasma (Remember all stars are made of mainly plasma). With the amount of excitement from seeing a person use their body like a contortionist to high flying accents to fancy footwork. There is so much potential stored before and kinetic energy moving around afterwards! To see the colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined with ions. These processes emit light in a spectrum characteristic of gas being excited.  Meaning that if you were to use an auric camera you would see an array of fireworks displayed!!!      Breakdancin is tuned to a lower frequency at least 30 hz which is much closer to the DJ than other elements. It could be viewed like colloidal silver opening up the body and breaking free of any limitations that have been put on the vessel. Self healing to those who participate in such an art form of extravagance and elegance as well as versatility.

 A Disc Jockey or a DJ (also seen as DeeJay) is one who preforms the art of riding a horse that marches to a beat while constantly playing polo with the needle and various records.  LOL Just kidding....  It is actually a person whom takes vinyl records on one or more turntables and spins, mixes and scratches them to a beat.  The DJ sets the tone for grounding to the earth at 7.83 hz frequency. The vibration of the Heart can be felt in the beat, this is the reason why so many cherish Hip Hop on a simple level and feel comfort. The back bone it is so solid catering to the audience and the culture and other elements @ the same time. When the diamond needle was invented it brought Djin to the completion The clarity, pitch, and durability were most noteworthy at this time. The synchronicity of the Record pathways manipulating tie and space proves the DJ is the gatekeeper of a powerful time machine able to take us thru multiple genres and decades of music instantaneously.  The Cube is the original shape of a turntable.. now a rectangular prism with 6 faces or hexahedron.  Without a DJ, Hip Hop would merely be another genre, however since being conceived, Hip Hop has birthed a boundary less precision master tool bringing so many different walks of life together for the sake of music empowerment.


Graffiti is the fluidity of Hip Hop. It takes on so many various shapes and forms to bring higher visions unto the viewer motivating the mind to map out unknown territory as an outlet of projection. From trains to subways to billboards to bridges to ramps to parking garages and so many other places. Ordinary walls become the talk of the town and street murals become the cities pride. An art form that truly says "the world is my canvas." Some call it vandalism, only if it is used in a way that does not provide an intellectual outlet it is vandalism of the mind. At a frequency of ~42.7 KHZ it is the highest in the elements and is very quick, sharp, and effective at penetrating our oculars. Only takes less than 5 seconds to see sumthing and recognize it. On the other hand, what makes things interesting is how many faces an Icosahedron has ... 20 compared to the other elements showing us the complexity and versatility which is why it shines as Hip Hop's Present day Golden Hieroglyphics. To the average eye, so above and beyond comprehension that we have to decipher what we consider having what happens already seen to start to unravel what it is telling us about our future of language.


Emcee or MC an abbreviation for Master of Ceremony.  To be an Emcee is being the bird of your choice with the wind of upliftment of our culture from an inner voice that cannot be silenced no matter what happens. With wings spread as far and wide... Calling upon the spirit of all knowing. Tuned to a frequency of 500hz where the air resides in our bodies.. in between the heart and the solar plexus at the diaphragm. Sound is brought to you by air molecules. In fact, an octahedron shows that air is hot and wet sharing similarities to a tetrahedron (so above so below showing the right side up and upside down adjoining at an equilibrium point of zero. There is water in the air, even within the driest of climates on the planet. Of course there is the whole being brought into an artists work from lowest to highest frequency as well....   There is an overall Meaning that an Emcee has the ability to bring spirit into the physical as well as communicating the visions of fluidity. An Emcee can invite the the boiling point of the flow and intertwine the other elements into stronger bond thru communication. Shamans of ancient times were known for going thru ceremonies to reach a trans-personal state within their journey this can be done in different ways... Some Emcees know this to be a form of freestyle.  That is why I see platinum as being an emcee.  Platinum is more ductile than gold and silver meaning able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable not brittle.  Also when viewing an emcee push the limits of breath which is definitely needed at times during a show or act.. platinum reacts with oxygen slowly at high temperatures such as when the dance floor gets ROCKIN!  Another way of looking at it is....usually an Emcee is directing the crowd and the ceremony in conjunction with the DJ and ART being displayed. Think on that one.. however... there are so many great things to be said about these great speakers of Hip Hop, but without the other elements the Emcee is just a diplomat!

Of course if you know the Platonic solids well... you realize I forgot one.. and that's the Dodecahedron.  Whoops! Well after much heated debate over quite sometime since its inception  This one is considered highly linked to the state of ether or aether.  To the dodecahedron Plato assigned the element cosmos, reasoning that, since it was so different from the others in virtue of its pentagonal faces, it must be what the stars and planets are made of.  However we know today that we are made of dead stars and we have seen people do things that make them.  The Dodecahedron is the knowledge of the culture...our 5th element of Hip Hop.  It can transmute electromagnetic energy used to manifest reality much like a stargate to other dimensions.


Hip Hop in its peak of delivery is a synthesis of all 5 major ellamentz. This creates a Unified Vector Geometry Sphere, same pattern shown in Self, our planetary grid structure, and our entire UnIverse. Omnidirectional. Anyone who has seen these 4 combined knows beyond the shadow of any doubt the complementary, reciprocacy, and energetic fusion.  Like seeing a galaxy for the first time in a telescope when all elements are together so many stars so much splendoor....the Sum of Awe...its AWESUM!  Mainstream media is leaving behind for the sake of exploitation, and "watering down" of our culture. You might have heard the saying "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"- well folks, there is no weakest link here...only the KNOT OF INFINITY.

Character- Do you have what it takes?

   Indeed we see analogies, identification correlations, and all sorts of interchanges of the culture throughout ourselves and world. So, as far as defining Hip Hop... it can mean anything to you, but what do you mean to Hip Hop? EVERYTHING!!! Defining self is one of the most important aspects of life. It is the interwoven fabric of our reality as we know it. Carefully choose to walk into your own secret garden or a place that is used for you to cultivate... look deep into the lush environment....we have cultivated... with our own definitions- plans, our ability to communicate them, and our work to build them...

 Now for the term Character, where it really sinks in. You can be just THAT... a person in life's fullest storybook, thumbing through real time sketch by sketch ink by ink no charades here just keep your head on until its time to blast off. When you decide to step forward in the light body between the layers of what has been defined and the undefinable- what has been brought to your mind as tangible, now its known, and processed by your brain as SEEN. Then there is the undefined land of imagination, it exists as is, waiting to be designed as well, the void somewhere that exists outside of space and time, also known as the UNSEEN. Are you still with me star?... OK, Now there is a place I'd like you to reintroduce you to and its called Knowhere- the place where you hone in on your definition on our YOUR own terms. This can be anything starting down to the very simple components of what makes you. A basis if you will for language, alternate tools, and ways of problem solving. Culturing of new microbes are taking place because we are taking the time to gaze upon the smallest of arrangements to formulate how we can alter the chemistry of a new reality. 

A step back we now see a new arrangement as well as a new found awareness with what hasn't been serving us. Character is being built from every interaction, how we view self, and thereafter the reflection of how we view the outside world. So onward with the journey, as long as it understood we cannot flee the past also overstood we have a need to make fundamental changes. Simply put living in the current moment fully and altering the present changes how we look at the future and the past as well. If you need an example, watch the Back to the Future Trilogy... What are you gonna do about it MCFLY??!? Its inevitable you will be challenged along the way....what you choose to do will reflect in character. This light and dark interweave of perspective and alchemy is built upon shadow casting, for every outstanding light every hue-man and hue-woahman are capable of In-Can-Descently emiting. In- because there's no other way to go to get out your greatest aspirations. Can- because you can do it if others have as well... you are not alone in this vast wild wide existence. Descent- because every wise ancestor from every different culture we are all related to has at some point in time and space had to make a decision of what their character was going to look like ultimately. We see so many different walks; their inklings, patterns, and carvings. What did they want to tell us? If treasure is worth unlocking, then a wealth of knowledge can't be BOUGHT!! The choice is always there. To be your own antagonist, maybe better put as a devils advocate... or take progressive steps towards opening up your world of versatility to being your own protagonist. These are obstacles and walls along the way whether we see them or not. Such a good reason why its crucial to let the heart-mind (Egyptian term for the mind in the heart referring to emotional IQ) sink in to the rhythm of life...then remember ONESELF is......... the greatest solution to their own problems. Many times how one deals with struggle shows character. Environmental factors accentuate the need for self discipline. Pressure mounts, stacking the odds against our favor in so many ways, social, family, institutions, psychological, etc. Now what can we choose to do?!? Solidification occurs after experiences necessary for internal growth are dealt with according to ones inner stregnth and recepiveness to the situations at hand. Seeing what is good for oneself is necessary. It is also good to remember how this will affect 7 generations after you as well.

Keyword here is EMBRACE. However it may seem to look on the surface, the important part is using whatever it takes inside of you to formulate a positive outcome for self from challenges to reach the pinnacle at apex termination, like the end of a perfectly cut crystal! We are here to rebuild, no need to worry about taking the blame for others false persecutions like imprisonment from authorities and our own minds. There's a recycling of nature that happens right before our very eyes...the discarded, hindering, useless must be taken apart and examine for what it really is.... its absolute value.... and mixed with the grown, excess, tried and true to bring about a composted mixture able to make any sprout not only survive and withstand...indeed thrivalous OVERGROW THE CONCRETE SYSTEMATIC JUNGLE AND MAKE YOUR OWN free flowing aqueduct used to serve self and humanity as an aqueous solution of mindful heartfelt words, speech, etiquette, and action for building the PROMISED LAND.


 The mirror is a reflection of you in some way shape and form until it takes a new way of producing shine to show, a living work in progress, to see through it and go forth in prismatic array of light from a palate you choose to crystallize yes your colors to choose! Its all a process of becoming a crystal meaning christened and blessed unfolding of smooth angles you choose to bring in problem solving. Solidified in ones arrangement of matter and density. Truth is formulated with a pattern of projected thoughts, sacred tones, and perceived light which makes precise projections and magnetic reasoning. Those angles work well in both the chosen and unchosen. Dipping into dark hues added to a crystal only shows its character along the way, remember no one is perfect! The spiritual conquest is being faceted/cut as well by what you didn't choose to focus your thoughts upon which in turn helped chose your words to speak, and finally how we decide to act. For example, From thinking true sky blue thoughts of yourself and others, conducting sound tones of encouragement to uplift yourself and those around you, and the choice to do righteous deeds for the betterment of mankind alchemicalized a sincere sapphire.


 In Chinese language, there are over 2,000 characters used to display and define importance of expression and living. Much different than the 26 letter alphabet we use commonly from Greek language derived from consonant constellations and vowel planets (TRUE STORY).... A lot of these letterings and characters use the simplest building blocks of the micro level for new foundation. One idea is create a character that represents your highest self from something significant either from an event that took place and unfolded or an event you would like to unfold.... a new found perspective and/or a fundamental essence derived. This is an open interpretation with many avenues, one point at a time until the dots are connected, and the lines begin to gather a new meaning for you. There is no difference in distance. The shine is in your shrine and amoung us... the stars ... U N I verse.
