Dammit Saul. How is it a Saul Williams commercial when I done seen that commercial 20 gabillion times and never realized it was Saul's song until this song. He does make one good point - the audience, consumer market whatever has more power than they realize and can dictate how these corporations do business. And that's how we're going to have to rock, cause revolution aint coming no time soon.jpollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123457281764922599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-90597812612371964722008-04-15T07:09:00.000-04:002008-04-15T07:09:00.000-04:00I love AZ to pieces but sometimes I just want him ...I love AZ to pieces but sometimes I just want him to rap about something diff other than being the vet in the game and the last hustler etc etc...its either he's redundant in that area which really ain't a bad thing 'cos sometimes with music its about the art of staying redundantly fresh..but if you gon' do it that way then your beats gotta BANG and the last beat AZ was on to me that really truly banged was the joint with Preme..AZ is a lyricists' lyricist but like ppl always say about what can take you to the next level as a rapper, "who are you?" and "what are you?" is your identity relatable on some level? Or are you larger than life in your description?neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482376355312549331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-28520497670964201202008-04-15T07:03:00.000-04:002008-04-15T07:03:00.000-04:00So what do you suggest to emcees who really wanna ...So what do you suggest to emcees who really wanna just emcee yet make money off they emceeing? Either way there's got to be some type of deal brokered no? 'Cos to take it back to Old testament times, Priests and levites were allowed to receive some type of stipend to take care of their fams, and that stipend was off God's Work..it was allowed..<BR/><BR/>so I'm wondering being a rebel or whatever to society through art is great but when the benefits come do you turn a blind eye all in an attempt to keep it all the way real/thoro? <BR/><BR/>Cos anything involving profit begins to veer towards capitalism and you can't tell me them rappers don't want money..neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482376355312549331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-79515954107654750792008-04-13T13:49:00.000-04:002008-04-13T13:49:00.000-04:00Which being that I’ve yet to formulate the ability...Which being that I’ve yet to formulate the ability to read fiction cuz I’m so stuck on the ingrained yet flawed (why read something if its not “real”)<BR/>========<BR/><BR/>Gayle Jones, Ishmael Reed and .....Octavia Butler will take you to some of the realest places your spine and ya mind have ever tasted.<BR/><BR/>This all kinda took me back to your Hip Hop isn’t all that political post…<BR/>======<BR/>No shit.<BR/><BR/>I mean, the Dboys admit is capitalism but the "rightous dudes" flip flop more than that red snapper in my skillet on a Friday night.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sh*t even made me think about how Dead Prez was trying to explain the logic of going to the “bigger” plantation of Sony.<BR/>======<BR/>YIKES.

That ish is popular as f***…its seems like every time I look up I see a shawty reading something around them lines. Which being that I’ve yet to formulate the ability to read fiction cuz I’m so stuck on the ingrained yet flawed (why read something if its not “real”) philosophy, I kinda think derisively at people doing so. <BR/><BR/>Ahh the God of Rap is wrong once again…<BR/><BR/>-------<BR/><BR/>“What is interesting about both of their statements is that<BR/>both reflect a lack of understanding about corporations and<BR/>capitalism.”<BR/><BR/>“First, capitalism, by its very nature co-opts anything<BR/>that attempts to subvert it. Meaning, IF you come at it,<BR/>it is going to figure out how to make money off<BR/>of you. Beastie, right?”<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>So true.. So intricately true <BR/><BR/><BR/>What’s sad about the people like Krs who attempt to justify there position working with in what is in theory is there “Enemy” is the fact it leaves one with a defeatist attitude of the “If you cant beat em join em ilk” which only helps solidify the Corporate business model even more.<BR/><BR/>It all leads back to the can you change the system from the inside or does the system need to be destroyed argument, which is hard to honestly answer when you are forced to think pragmatically because you live within the system.<BR/><BR/>This all kinda took me back to your Hip Hop isn’t all that political post…<BR/><BR/>Sh*t even made me think about how Dead Prez was trying to explain the logic of going to the “bigger” plantation of Sony.<BR/>------<BR/>“But acting like you<BR/>are doing it because a multinational corporation is bending<BR/>to your will is an insult to us, the fans.”<BR/><BR/>“Think about Saul and KRS's response in contrast<BR/>to the Clipse or any D'boys resolve.<BR/>"I need to make this money so I can eat"<BR/>"I'm just trying to feed my daughter" ~Biggie<BR/>Atleast they are honest enough acknowledge the capitalist<BR/>motives behind their behavior and not ATTEMPT to purport<BR/>that they are "helping the culture".”<BR/><BR/>--------------------<BR/><BR/>After all that I can’t say anything but thank you…………Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982320011550967426noreply@blogger.com
