"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

DV, you gotta be kidding me.
Marvin...yep.
Prince..no doubt.
But how about the follwing for starters:
Mike Jackson
Elton John
MJB
Bono
Bob Marley
Hendrix
Just to name a few.
And just for the record...Luther's sweet ass would croon circles around Kelley.
And Dont make me go back to Teddy P.
Either lay off the wacky tobacky or tell me where I can get some, cause clearly you on somethin good.
Well, you know Prince.
When a brotha is ahead of the curve, he's accustomed to taking positions unpopular with the proletariat.
Study Kelly's library, analyze his impact on R&B / Hip Hop / Soul / Pop / Black music for the past 2 decades, examine his interpretations of sex and spirituality, meditate on the "Fortunate" lyrics he wrote for Maxwell, note the vast range between "Your Body's Callin'", "Step In The Name of Love", "I believe I can fly" or the operatic "Closet" - and get back to me in 5 years.
Or wait for some white boy to write it in Time Magazine or create a class at Harvard - then you will get it.
LMAO!
My disagreement with your errant position, in no way, makes me a proletariate, nor makes you ahead of the game. You funny, though. The way you always pull the "im just ahead of the game" card whenever someone takes a credibale stance against yours. Nigga I AM the game. You musta forgot.
So, RKelley has had a greater impact on music over the last 20 years than Mike Jackson? Than Elton John? Than Luther Vandross? Nigguh Please. You need to expand your musical horizons to include artists other than niggas who wear pink, purple and kiss other men. (Not the elton and Luther didnt)
Let's take a poll among YOUR bloggers. Who made the biggest impact in music over the last 20 years.
Mike Jackson or RKelly?
Elton John or RKelly?
Luther Vandross or RKelly?
Tupac or RKelly?
Let's see how many "Proletarites" there are.
Your infatuation with these hip hop negroes is almost disturbing.
"Let's take a poll among YOUR bloggers."
lol. poll.
Of course.
Consensus.
p.r.o.l.e.t.a.r.i.a.t.e.
Majority = truth.
Herd mentality.
ahhhhh .... where do I start ...
'
Mike Jackson?
One of the greatest entertainers of all time. Living icon. He's more than music.
But we talking music.
Name a writer in R. Kelly's league in the past 20 years?
"these Hip Hop Negros" ....?
"these Hip Hop Negros" are modern day Picasso's, Pollacks and Keats. Jay-Z was a whiteboy they'd be teaching him in Junior High School now.
What little swagger ya'll negros from the 92228 or the 98880 or whatever ya'll local yocals use to identify yourselves with can be directly traced to Hip Hop.
You'd still be wearing curls wasn't for Hip Hop.
Name a square Negro pushing the boundaries of art and language like Lil Wayne.
Uh, 2 of those "greatest musicians" don't even play instruments. :/
I've figured you out, DV. You don't really believe half the shit you say. You just like to play devil's advocate. I'll play along.
"Let's take a poll among YOUR bloggers."
lol. poll.
Of course.
Consensus.
p.r.o.l.e.t.a.r.i.a.t.e."
Sometime within the next 6 weeks, you will play a part in the biggest POLL in U.S. history. You're a proletariate, sheeple and play a pivotal role in the group think mentality...right?
(That one was from the NBA 3 pt line)
"Majority = truth."
Sometimes, my brother, it does. The Prince suggested a poll to gobtain the varying perspectives of numerous, unrelated sources, many of whom you respect and/or know personally. I was under the impression that you had the capacity to deflate your overinflated ego once many of your own respected people vehemently disagreed with you, if not scoffed at your position. I mean if a million people told you that you look like a horse, wouldn't you eventually turn around to see if you have a tail?
There are times in which an unpopular stance against the masses serves as a forward thinking catalyst for change and progress. There other times where that stance just makes you look like a contrarion. This is one of those times.
" Name a writer in R. Kelly's league in the past 20 years?"
How much time you got?
Tupac
Luther
Prince
Jigga
Elton John
Barbara Streisand
Celine Deion
Eminem
Which of the above do you contest?
Step outside of your hip hop bubble for a split second.
"these Hip Hop Negros" are modern day Picasso's, Pollacks and Keats. Jay-Z was a whiteboy they'd be teaching him in Junior High School now.
I actually agree with this. I just think you took it WAAAAAY to far to crown RKelly the greatest musician of all time. Does he even play an instrument? Prince plays like 7.
Where can I get some of that sticky icky?
Byrd, I noticed that too. But I substituted "musicians" for "artists". I'm sure thats what DV meant anyway.
LOL. Ahhhh Prince.
Your lack imagination can't be shrouded behind weak little conspiracy theories. "Devils Advocate"?
LOL.
Come on man.
You sound like one of them chicks on TSO.
Musician? Instrument?
What's more of an instrument than the human voice?
Musicians. Make. Music.
Who's making more or better music than R. Kelly?
I going with DV on this one. But whats this correlation between Black musical genius and pedophilia?
DV, I think Sarah Palin has hacked into your account and is posting under your name. This level of evasive posturing is off the charts! A whole lotta talkin, yet no substance...no answers.
" Musician? Instrument?
What's more of an instrument than the human voice?"
See what I mean.
" Your lack imagination can't be shrouded behind weak little conspiracy theories. "Devils Advocate"?"
Lack of imagination? This niggas made his whole career on bump n grind songs (Jodeci did that), then caught a case from not knowing where to draw the line between fantasy and reality. He made one song "I believe I can fly" that stepped outside of his box. That trapped in the closet was utterly riduculous. He's fucking another man's woman then gets "trapped in the closet" when dude comes home?! COME ON DV! Where is the substance? You put this guy's career in the category of PRINCE, MJ, EJ, LUTHER and Jigga? He's far closer to the level of an Usher or Justin Timberlake (who may actually have him beat)
"Who's making more or better music than R. Kelly?"
So now it's about volume? Master P used to release a new album every month! Maybe that propels him into the convo.
"Who's making more or better music than R. Kelly?"
Perhaps you missed the list I posted up top.
What up Illy, what exactly do you agree with DV about?
That RKelly is the greatest artist in the last 20 years? Dude can't even sell out the Garden, let alone sell 50-70,000 tickets every night of his tour. Man please. Dude got booted from Jigga's tour and not one ticket was returned. What do think would happen if Prince, Elton John, or Cher, or even MJB canceled a tour date?
And an industry cat like you? Do I need to question your musical knowledge and repertoire?
FYI - DV, I'm still just playing along. I know you don't mean what you're saying. Now that we have reached that magical number of 10 comments, we can retire this topic.
LINE OF THE WEEK....
There are times in which an unpopular stance against the masses serves as a forward thinking catalyst for change and progress. There other times where that stance just makes you look like a contrarion. This is one of those times.
I hope that list is in no particular order because Prince definitely holds down the number one spot on any list.
Like I say you can out argue me on this P. Wayne I'd be a hypocrite if I said ticket sales aren't a measure of success. Im a truth addict... but I don't know if I can say more than it's... R.Kelly.
"Wait, what do you mean by teenager?" R. Kelly.
That right there was hilarious.
