"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."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
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?"

No Corporate Conglomerate Will Be Allowed To Control More Than 5% Of News Market 5. Federal Reserve Abolished 6. For-Profit Prison Industry Abolished
*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.

Jones was on disturbing tha peace for a sec then got out of the deal cuz they were sittin on his project. I assume he couldn't handle being held back to release Willy Northpole.
Hamilton is new school cool. Not sure if I'm feeling him yet.
Jones is that dude for real. not sure if his skill will transfer to album format & diverse content vs mixtapes, song writing vs. rhyme writing and ultimately record sales. He might just want to ghost write for the guy the (m)asses will claim to be the best out.
Dre & Will Smith would break bread for a rhyme or two if they haven't already.

Yooooooo. I don't know. My natural affinity is for Jones (sort of reminds me of a scintillating version of Guru) but Hamilton is nice in a downscale Kanye kind of fashion-almost fathomless potential artistically, combined with true grit and smarts. (In basketball analogy I would equate them with Allen Iverson, little guys playing a big man's game.)The only thing is will Hamilton settle and peak too soon. The last rapper I felt that way about was this brother named Jay (Z that is) that lived in my man Pep's building in Brooklyn.
Hamilton's got mad potential. He's another one of those cats i'm sitting back watching. His stuff is so left-center sometimes, though. I like the video game references he drops in his stuff. Like that song "get over here" where he's trying to get a girl, and using Scorpion's "Get over here!" sound effect in the background.
His stuff's real futuristic. And he can rap. He's got a chance to get on, he needs a really hot single that the masses can grab on to. Either that, or somebody to co-sign him.
Like this. Genius.

It's called "Windows Media Player". Guess why.
KP. Sub. Doc. What up.
KP. As always. On point.
Sub. I know exactly what you talkin' 'bout. Jones is just more my cup of tea. Never could get into that nice guy Hip Hop.
Jones blew homie out the water. Said he looked like a "new AKA". And he changed the entire energy when he so deftly pointed out "gangsters don't wear cowry shells" and "leather wrist bands".
Which suggests a tenet of the Denmark Vesey Hip Hop Treatise. The gangster meme is here to stay in hip hop. Anything less invites immediate dismissal as inauthentic. To not be "gangster" suggests it's anti-thesis which is to be too invested in the Plantation.
The Doc.
I peeped that little piece man.
I don't know homie.
I mean it's cute. And clever. I smiled a couple of times.
But the shit aint moving nobody.
I mean, could you really put that on repeat?
Which is my measure of a cut.
I mean why listen to that when you can experience this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OybDTpXfHrY
I need to get your email DV. I peeped this battle a few months back and it stuck in my mind so it was refreshing to see you post it. Major dap.
Didn't peep the link you posted yet but if you ever see what he did to Jin who was on ruff ryders for a sec (i think he drops his name in this battle with Hamilton actually) you'd crown him IMMEDIATELY!
Start at 5min point. Peep part 2 of 2 as well.

The gangster meme is here to stay in hip hop.
I agree but it's like fluoride in drinking water; it was a calculated decision designed to counter an Afrocentric, black nationalist inspired genre.
PENIEL JOSEPH: Very quickly, one thing that did occur, when you think about black nationalism and this brother’s question, is that you know, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, late eighties, sometimes people call it Golden Age of Hip-Hop. When the medium was coming into its own, black nationalism for a time before gangster rap dominated, right, and it was sending out those messages, and you could have “Fight the Power,” and you could have “Burn, Hollywood, Burn,” and so certainly I do think that there was a specific reason why gangster rap becomes a mode of transmission for hip-hop. Not only is it popular and people are listening to it but I think people start to see the tremendous force and power for social change potentially that black nationalist–inflected hip-hop music could have and it’s certainly been marginalized over the last twenty years, so you have people like Dead Prez, or even a Mos Def, or a Talib Kweli, who you could say are nationalists, but I think you’re right, there is a nationalist ethic to people whether it’s Jay-Z or whoever wants to—you know, FUBU, For Us By Us. That’s Marcus Garvey, Booker T. Washington, and aspects of Du Bois. For Us, By Us, like, you know, we’re not just talking about it, but we’re going to build it and own it.

I'm supposed to send you something too. It's on the way.
No doubt DV. Jones is simply the truth.
I see you Sub. Great post.

The battle is decided by who got the Nigga's rollin' with him and the Bitches wanting to _________.
Jones all day!
Problem is,
Battle rappers can never go legit.
Once they get in the studio,
Like Eminem says, they lose it.
Throw a million punchlines...
Yet not make a single hit.
