Martin Shkreli Leaks Wu-Tang Clan Album After Trump Wins

The most hated man in America, Martin Shkreli has fulfilled his promise by leaking a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album intro track after Trump wins the presidency of the United States! Shkreli has frequently been labelled the most unpopular man in America. The pharmaceutical CEO first made headlines after his company increased the price of Aids drug Daraprim by 5,556% from £10 to £577. Shkreli was…

We're back again! Malik & I hope you guys enjoyed the last explanation of what the green movement is .. Now we're going to go into the next series of "why" & "who?" .. *inserts green hearts*

WHY - Why was the green movement created? Well why not? Why not encourage myself, as well as my people? Why not share knowledge that could possibly be life-changing? Why hold onto something so powerful and not share the experience with others? I've been noticing a lot of things about people throughout the past few months of my life since the BET Hip-Hop Cypher. I've noticed that I will meet good people who appreciate the benefits that I bring to the table, and I will meet bad people who will try to take advantage of my benefits. In this case, my knowledge is a benefit because knowledge is power. One with knowledge is powerful & one who is ignorant is powerless. I couldn't let the bad people stir away my desire from helping the good. I said to myself, "If I let my fears stop me right now, at this very moment, then I might as well quit." Any and everything that Keys and I engages in from this day forth will be fearful. We're done playing it safe. In other words, we're done playing ourselves. We want to be as free, and as risk taking as we can be. Put it like this, the answer will always be "no" if you never ask. And my people will forever be powerless if I keep knowledge from them. This stops now. We will all feel the power.

WHO - Who was the green movement created for? The green movement was created for any & everyone. Keys and I don't expect to change the world in one day, but we know that anything dealing with elevation is good for a human. It's tough, but sometimes tough is good. Its preparation. So this movement is for any and everyone willing to experience the beauty, and the ugly when it comes to this growing process. Those who chose to apply this movement to their everyday lives, are showing interest in mental, spiritual, physical and/or emotional expansion. The next step is becoming committed. It's tough, but every seed's shell must crack in order for it to transform into a beautiful flower. This movement was created to help ourselves, then we began to see the benefits that it could bring to our generation. However, we encourage the process of growth to every generation on this earth. You're never too old to not grow. You're never too smart to not learn. And you're never too perfect to not make changes. Each generation could learn something from the generation before and/or after them. There's a lesson in everyone and everything, but we must allow ourselves to be students before we teach. My generation has the "I know it all, because of what I've seen" mentality .. But honestly, all we know is nothing, but that's okay! Keys and I are here to show our people that it's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to sit and allow yourself to be stagnant. "Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid of standing still." I want us all to grow. Mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. And we shall. But we'll need each other along the way. This is just the beginning.

Detroit Che & ALI. Keys gives a full explanation of what their Green Movement means .. Feel free to follow them on Twitter and Instagram for more updates on the movement .. *inserts green hearts*

WHAT - The green movement is a process of mental, spiritual, physical and emotional growth .. Allowing yourself to expand from one place to another, whether it’s mentally (the expansion of mind states) or physically (maybe moving from one state to another) ..

This movement tends to give people two choices: 1) Accept yourself as you are, or 2) change yourself into the person that you wish to be. This movement isn’t about noticing your weaknesses and beating yourself up about them. It’s about self-acceptance or self-expansion. Either one is great.

This movement also encourages people to become conscious: mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Too many of us are living in brain jails when it’s comes to a lot of things. And that means that we’re allowing society and other previous situations to control us mentally. For example: being who society wants you to be VS being who you are, or allowing previous bad relationships/friendships to build up mental and emotional walls VS learning from your bad relationships/friendships and applying those lessons to new relationships/friendships.

My friends and I often get a lot of compliments on our clothes. Other times we get called weird, but applying this movement to our every day lives has given us the confidence to accept ourselves and express our inner fashion icon. We vow to never stray away from something so precious like freedom, just because of society’s assumptions based on fashion. For example: The popular assumption that one is heterosexual or homosexual because of his or her garments. Words often hurt, but this movement has once again given us the strength to remain free through the chains. Each chain must be broken. Mentally and physically. We will break them. In due time ..

When it comes to being mentally and emotionally controlled by previous bad relationships/friendships, we have one word of encouragement: “Live.” When we say “live,” we don’t mean to disregard your emotions or the emotions of others, but you have to live! When we are mentally controlled by something, it negatively effects us. It builds up cement walls that’s hard for love to flow through. You miss out on wonderful people and life-changing opportunities. Nicki Minaj said, “but to live, doesn’t mean you’re alive.” And that’s the truth. You must be conscious emotionally as much as you are mentally. Do what’s best for you, even if it means leaving someone or something that you thought was best for you. Growth makes you feel uncomfortable, but let’s learn to love this growth process for the beauty, and the ugly that it offers. Don’t go through life. GROW through life!

The next explanation of the Green Movement is: "WHY was the green movement created?" We will keep you guys updated as far as when we're going to release the next explanation. We truly appreciate everyone's support and anticipation. If you still feel unsure as to what the green movement is, "donut worry." Soon it'll all make sense .. Be blessed!
