Dr. Madd Vibe: She blinded me man! Ok, she blinded me with science; the science of the legal system. The science of the courthouse. The science of the devil’s living room. The courthouse with the judges and the clerks, and all the jerks working for them. She blinded me; rear-ended into behinded me, and then the judge sentenced me to some crimeny. The judge sentenced me to crimeny when she blinded me with science.

AK: “Miles Davis Love Coltrane.”

Dr. Madd Vibe: Miles Davis pimpin blowing trumpet, smoking cigarette and doing the jazz thing. Smooth jazz trumpet.

AK: “Ratbait.”

Dr. Madd Vibe: Ratbait. Okay. Ratbait…eatin’ cheese. A Ratbait eatin’ cheese. The rat goes after the Ratbait, so it’s not necessarily straight cheese. It’s like cheese with a lure in it. A smile. A cheesy smile. With allure. You get closer, and as soon as you get closer, attached to that smile, and you want to kiss the smile…That smile just bites your whole face off, because it’s rat lure. It’s a hood rat lure. A hood rat chicken head lure. A no job havin, chicken head, hoot rat lure.

AK: “Unminded”

Dr. Madd Vibe: Unminded. Outta sight, outta mind. Willingly out of sight, out of mind, out of touch. Not trying to be a part of the mind of the Big One, but a part of the mind that represents Union. Not the majority One, the One that’s like a city growing like mold over the grass, and the mountains,…not that One; But the Mind Unattached to the gravity pull of our society which is corroding before our eyes.
