Rhymesayers & I Self Devine Present “Behind: Self Destruction”. Since the early 90’s, I Self Devine has been an active part of the Twin Cities Hip Hop scene. As a part of The Micranots and the Universal Vibe Squad, he helped make a mark that provided an unquantifiable impact, an aftermath of inspiration and an influence that can still be felt and heard today. “Self Destruction”, his first solo album, was a key turning point in his career as he took the time to look inside and give the listener a more personal view. The result was an album that differed, in many ways, from what he had done previously, but not without reflecting on some of that past in the songs’ narratives. With “Self Destruction”, we witnessed the perfect fusion of the music and man, all the triumphs as well as the challenges. The album was released at a time when artists’ access to video wasn’t as common or abundant, so with the 10-Year Anniversary upon us, it seemed like the perfect time to look back on this pivotal Twin Cities Hip Hop album and let I Self Devine tell the story of Self Destruction. This series will give background stories and/or meanings to every song on the album, including some B-sides and Bonus Cuts that coincided with the release. But first, this introductory video gives some insight on what lead I Self to record a solo album, and the meaning behind the title.. On Saturday, August 1st at the 7th Street Entry I Self Devine will perform the album, “Self Destruction”, with guest performances by Sarah White, Muja Messiah, Lioness, DJ Todda, DJ Just Nine, and host Tish Jones! Tickets are available NOW at Fifth Element, The Depot, and First Avenue (to purchase online: bit.ly/ISelf0801).. Also, for a limited time, buy “Self Destruction” for only $4.99 (CD or MP3 version) at Fifth Element: bit.ly/ISelfDevineMerch. Credits: Filmed & Edited by Christian Sundquist. Interviewed & Conceived by Kevin Beacham. Filmed at The Hideaway Studios

Small, skinny and unhappy, Miles overcame depression by attacking the iron and packing on 43 pounds to his frame. When you decide to focus on self-healing you can transform pain and negative patterns, reignite your passion for living, and reconstruct a sense of wholeness. This 21-day course is designed to help you on your journey of positive transformation.
You’ll focus on reconstructing your life in meaningful and healthy ways, empowering the pieces of yourself that feel stuck, broken, or. The longer we delay the necessary transformation, the more our regenerative budget — Earth’s biocapacity — will be compromised, leaving us with fewer options. No society can shift overnight to a thriving economy in a world characterized by climate change, biological resource constraints and phased-out fossil fuels. The Self-Destruction of American Power Washington Squandered the Unipolar Moment. Japan and Germany won,” the Democratic hopeful Paul Tsongas said again and again.
Asia hands had already begun to speak of “the Pacific century.” as Washington tried to remake wholly alien nations—Afghanistan and Iraq—thousands of miles away. Foreign Affairs on 11 June 2019 published an article by Fareed Zakaria, titled, “The Self-Destruction of American Power”. The article goes as follows: Washington Squandered the Unipolar Moment.
Sometime in the last two years, American hegemony died. The age of U.S. dominance was a brief, heady era, about three decades marked by two moments, each a. Don’t believe the negative self-talk. There will be thoughts in your head about not being able to do it, or wanting to quit.
Don’t listen to them. See them, acknowledge them, but don’t follow their commands or believe what they say. They just come up because your brain is trying to get out of hard work. Lazy brain, lying brain.
Daddy puffs himself up and asks again; same answer as before. To cut to the chase, daddy blew himself up until he burst. The moral of the story is given as “self conceit may lead to self-destruction”. Self-destructive people often develop hostile or harmful attitudes toward others.
They create unnecessary conflicts or are inconsiderate, rude, envious, gossipy, etc. They see others, fundamentally, as a source of confrontation. Other people frustrate them. Usually, after these conflicts, they fall into deep episodes of self-pity. And then poof!—no more Withdrawal symptoms In the stillness of the night No tears can erase the memory And the feeling that won’t go away.
Goodbye seems wasted and useless For there is no saying farewell To this powerful gripping feeling That forever remains Lingering like the smell of roses in a rose garden. Self-awareness is the essential building block of inner transformation and spiritual awakening. Remember: without self-awareness, there can be no emotional, psychological or spiritual growth.
Without self-awareness, we can’t experience the joy of living in healthy relationships, finding meaningful jobs, or even just enjoying day-to-day existence.

While the goal of healing self and earth is a difficult one to achieve, attaining it involves many difficult transformations, just as Tam Lin was transformed into a series of fearsome creatures in Janet’s arms before taking his true form as a human being.
Not all those who have drawn from Fanon have followed him in this, but the notion that there is a struggle for a changed self-image, which takes place both within the subjugated and against the dominator, has been very widely applied.
Proteus changed himself into a thousand shapes before speaking, and yielded only to the hero who, far from being moved by his transformations, bound him with bands of ever increasing strength.

big thumbs up TOP EDIT with video scribe u want to help each other bro, I will give u a shoutout and u for me:)? yes thanks send me on my fb or twitter on the description of my videos
Thanks for this video <3 I lost my dad a year ago and am in a really bad way but I am looking at videos like this to try find some help and hope. Again thank you and I also wish you the best <#
Sorry for your loss but this video isn’t very helpful. This might be helpful if you’re in a 1st world country watching the world burn from the comfort of your own couch. For people like me who live in opression? Na,dude…There ain’t no “solution” here. I was given a weapon when I was 11 and was told to protect my parents (My father was sick and couldn’t do anything…he actually died 2 years later) and defend my house because the streets were filled with chaos and people were being killed left and right. That’s the type of environment that I GREW UP IN!!! Anyway, I’m a dysphonic closet bisexual in a 3rd world country. I also don’t believe in their version of “god”. Do you have any idea how painful that is? I could literally die if I said half of that to anyone that I know. Family? Abused me my whole life. “Friends”? Bullied me non-stop for 2 years to the point where I had bruises on every part of my body. Look, here is how my day was (Still is, to a certain extent): Wake up, regret not dying in my sleep, cry, self-harm, eat something, go out, get back, masturbate, self-harm some more, eat and drink, sleep and repeat. That’s how my day was like for a while. Not to mention smoking and all the other stuff that I did, of course. Now, what advice do you have for someone who is so hurt that he literally wants to destroy his own life? And yes, I’ve seen therapists. They don’t help, dude. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have chronic pain sooo…yeah, even my physical health is not great.
Thanks I needed to hear this exact message right at this minute because I’ve fallen into a bad place….thanks for reminding me, for one I’m not alone, and more importantly I am capable of the change I need to make.
So important to follow this advice and default to positive habits like exercise. Reflection is critical. Thank you for your perspective. Liked and subscribed!
See I always knew I was self destructive but now my life isn’t just mine anymore but my wife’s. And shes perfect and so are my friends and family why then why destroy your world for no reason
This is kinda dumb to be fair. The people replying to “wayne stadin” ‘s comments are completely just blowing my mind on how rude they are. it’s getting on my nerves, wayne stadin had an opinion, and now y’all are verbally attacking him for having such. it doesn’t matter much because i bet they’re mostly younger kids who HAPPEN to know swear words. (because their parents more than likely don’t supervise them) AXL didn’t do well critic wise. but people liked the movie. (Tomato meter: 27% [not good] audience score: 60%) the critics kinda matter in this situation, due to they can spot the wrongs, the errors, and everything. the audience just gives a public opinion. (i’m not sure on this. i’m GIVING MY OPINION on what i think.) This right here, all these comments is why i absolutely hate toxic people, and bad communities. I’m starting to think AXL’s community isn’t very good due to the first impression that i have from these comments. But yet again, This is some of the DUMBEST SHIT i have seen over a public opinion of a movie. and i’ve already stated that in critic eyes, AXL isn’t a good movie. the effort doesn’t matter. if you take time to make something and it turns out like shit, does that mean that its a good movie? NO. it doesn’t. you made shit. it’s shit. but if an audience begs to differ. then let them. i’m personally going with wayne stadin on this one. i did like the movie. but seeing how almost in every robot movie i’ve seen, they all self destruct in the end. this movie is dumb to me now. and you all ruined it for me. because of your toxicity. So go ahead and try to offend me, i won’t be until later. i bet y’all are young on your channels. AND I MEAN YOUNG. and yes, i know i’m about to change subjects again, but yes i did cry the first few times watching the ending of axl. now i’m immune to crying at this scene, because i’ve watched it alot. but the movie just now seems so.. cliche because the characters always escape, and one of the main characters never dies. they really could have spiced up this movie. and i mean that. this movie is the exact definition of.. having art block (not able to draw when your an artist) before drawing something for someone that they requested. So just stop hating on this person for having a public opinion. its fucking rude.:/

I don’t have anyone to get advice on this, maybe I’m wrong but i think the first step to changing the bad person i am is to distance myself from my parents. Not that I’m blaming them. But i feel like our combination is toxic and destructive. All the other measurers come after that.
