who's the creator of that painting ?
Just think how much greater he will be when he gets out of JAIL.
how will he be greater?
He's in jail.
But he didn't commit a crime.
Don't you think only conformist Negros who mistake the government for God equate a jail sentence with the commission of a sin?
Many great men went to jail.
Ghandi, Mandela, Jomo Kenyatta, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Weezy F. Baby.
Going to jail continues to function as it has always with historic figures. I believe however that today the psychology encourages to go to jail for even less. I believe the best arises out of nations, civilizations when faced by resistance. Whether it's the invention of vacillates to serve a growing populace or against governmental policies.
I think this does for Weezy what the steamroller over the cd's did for Snoop or what pulling Cop Killer from the shelves did for Ice-T. Those events are almost lost into obscurity.
Don't you think in time this moment will be forgotten? "Superfly" caused Panthers to trade in sticks of dynamite for an entourage. But today Ron O'Neal is obsolete. However, what Superfly did to a type of consciousness was a "eureka" moment to the same strategists that learned from/or orchestrated the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast.
I feel Weezy falls short because he is relying solely on his immediate stardom. Even Michael Jackson or the Beatles are locked into a moment. However, it is a support group that will continue rejuvenate their legacies. Across the world people dancing Thriller or Beat It. In the 80's Arab kids doing the curls when the kids from Kenya are more popular because of their complexion and hair texture. The world trying to return to their dark origins. They are not doing that with Weezy. In fact they are more inclined to becoming artsy-hipsters. This is why I don't think Weezy will be up their with Malcom or Martin. He contributes to the masculine roll but he doesn't define it. High water pants, a curl and a "Members Only" jacket. That's Michael defining.
Along with the rapper comes the culture of emulating imagery not creating imagery. True, Weezy doesn't even need to be famous to catch your attention. People aren't getting tats because of Weezy alone but because its commonplace.
I just don't see what will give Weezy a legacy outside of his "nowness." Will he become a Bill Whithers or a Sam Cooke? Great talent but not memorable.
When I say he contributes I mean he along with other artists that share his image. Adorned with jewelry and tats. What I mentioned in another post, Chuck wearing a clock. Traditionally makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Allegorically makes plenty of sense. Signature that nobody else can claim. A catalyst. A first. White and black will continue to always write about PE. How great PE is and was. Public Enemy are the Beatles. They could say eff John Wayne and Elvis because they had become Elvis. Like anyone else there moment is gone, but Chuck is made into an authority. Not because of their politics but because of their cultural dominance. Eazy-E said eff Cube and everybody around him 'cept Chuck. As "ruthless" as they were, Negroes remained quit. 50 will talk about Weezy. People talk about 50. But it was taboo to say something against The Bomb Squad, Chuck, Flavor or even Terminator X. That is sainthood status.
Chuck interviewed on Nightline because white America is "concerned" about a video knocking off politicians. That's some ish.
Whachu think?
