"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?"

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.

So if you criticize hip hop, you're either a corporate negro or a racist pundit?
Which one am I?
Come now, Denmark.
Big J.
Criticize hip hop?
That's like criticizing poetry.
Criticizing an entire art form doesn't really make much sense and is not really the issue.
Holding an art form, that simply reflects the value system of a culture, responsible for producing that culture is disingenuous. It also happens to be a habit shared by both corporate negroes and right wing racist pundits.
They both need a boogeyman.
You? Big J, your "criticism of Hip Hop" strikes me as a short term phase used to vent your frustration with ignorance, decadence and niggardly behavior. You are unwisely using "Hip Hop" as an umbrella term because it is easier for you to attack "Hip Hop" than it is for you to attack "Niggas".
I suspect that as your definition of Hip Hop matures you will shift the focus of your vitriolic statements from the broad categorical generalizations to more surgical strikes.
You are a complex cat whose self-esteem is not a product of what he does for a living or some position bestowed upon him by massa. Therefor you don't strike me as a "Corporate Negro" beholden to the plantation.
DV,
My swagger comes from my relationship with my father and my brother. How about that?
FUCK hip hop. It's not consistent with my interpretation of what God wants for us in that it gives in to the most nefarious human impulses: greed, violence and sex.
"With God, I am Free." That's my favorite pic ever. Can you email it to me?
J,
Not all hip hop is vulgar. Try listening to The Roots, Talib Kweli (who has a great song about when his daughter was born), Dead Presidents, Free The P, Mos Def, Common (some of it). Why throw out the baby with the bathwater?
And for whatever it's worth, the sheer ride-or-die factor of this couple (whether it is real or promulgated to simply ponder or provoke a new way of looking at the "relationship") is what I am loving most. This duo, covering all the bases together despite the fact that it's a bit flashier and overdone than I would do, makes me smile. (imagine if this were a school teacher wife and a city worker husband. Baller.)
If I played this song for my husband he would only be flattered, knowing exactly where I would be coming from and me likewise.
did your site meter show that I played this damn near 10 times while I was making my dinner. Man!
really, whoever is sleepin' on this is knocked the hell out!
