Never made any efforts to get into any kind of House music…but tonight, DJ Jazzy Jeff will cater a fresh plate of it mixed from his DJM 909 & Tech 1200s directly to my ears.
"I want a girl, when I want a girl
And when I don’t want a girl, I want a girl who understands that
And that’s some hard shit to explain
To a woman that’s in love with you, it’s a pitiful thing
Until I had to figure
That I don’t wanna play around, but I don’t wanna settle down
And that’s a man’s dilemma…"
Public Enemy performing in London (1988). I wish I was just a few years older…
Contains a couple of vocal samples found on “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back” such as the beginning of “Terminator X To the Edge of Panic” @ the 9:17 mark: “At the count of 3, I want y’all to tell me the name of my DJ. 1, 2, 3…TERMINATOR X”
"I fought fear where the Hammer of Thor led me and tangled with the Angel of Death for four centuries//Put a nameplate on a asteroid belt, and I ran through the future with an android’s help"
"Briefcases open to expose sheet music
The thief hears the piece performed and weeps to it
Master violinist plays the solo one handed
The notes on the page become ants that run frantic
Slowly the symphony dissolves into noise
The phantom with the glass eye sweats and loses poise
A scene is made, the cheese brigade is summoned
The man in the mask walks fast and starts running
An officer fires a pistol in black apparel
But instead of lead, records grow from out the barrel"
Edan - “Beauty” off of the stellar LP “Beauty and the Beast”
“Speed the convo through colors and shapes My word choice is turquoise I love to create My art hurdles over the clouds of dark purple Red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles Paint splashes over your conscious like canvas Colors jump out of the body to form branches Psychedelic images flash like avalanches Illustrate skill with the quill to build stanzas”
Soon I will attain the skill of explaining complex thoughts in such brevity as Immortal Technique does. I’m long-winded when attempting to speak on more in-depth topics, which loses the attention of our ADHD generation a majority of the time.
Very dope individual whom I have EXTREME amounts of respect for. Attended about 5 of his shows, actually took the time to speak to me about the Zapatistas in Mexico after an SOB’s show a few years back.
Can’t seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know of a legit spot online to cop the shirt of the hoodie at? Or are they only available at the merch tables at their shows?
