hip hop and politricks
Sorry for being out for so long, I've been busy making sure 2nd graders ain't putting fiesta burritos in their pockets after lunch time. Anyways, here's some stuff to keep ya busy:
The world according to Pretty Toney. And a newer clip showing the genius that is Ghostface, right here.
French rapper facing jail time for calling his country a slut, among other things. And in the mean time, Paris still keeps burning. I guess the politicians in France would rather ignore the plight of a huge immigrant population and exert energy on quelling free speech. The French better be careful with its assault on democracy or prepare to end up mirroring the path lost by America. Peep the Chomsky article.
Now aside from the beautifual coalition building with parallel musical sub genres between the new bay hyphy and backpack rappers in the bay, this type of action is what we all need to see with other regional hip hop scenes.
Too $hort speaking on the local scene and his thoughts on who should really be bringing hyphy to the masses.
I've been caught up doing other things, but I still have to pay tribute to the late great Desmond Dekker, RIP.

hey i randomly came by your blog, didn't read the entire thing (straight talk, brother), but what I did see, I was impressed. Thanks for sharing your depth and breadth of the culture and music. I wish people would stop and think about big picture stuff, or at least look at the details more. Life is sometimes too in one ear and out the other.
Anyways, I'll be back to read up on your blog. Good ish. Keep it up ;-)
