In Times like these - Queen Ifrika
talk about consistency
Ms Ifrika neva ever fails
lyrically musically nor visually
she delivers and speaks truth to power
the song and video similar to that of Tarrus Riley's Shaka Zulu Pickney
guess we're all feelin it
there aint no true leaders sadly in our timez
we thot mr obama would turn the tide [which he did in sum cases]
but reality check says we missin our heroes
what we have now are just puppets turned dictators turned outlaws
hypocrites parasites pimps and devil worshipers
all chasing after the lousy dollar
so ear wha da queen seh
and take heed
in ya dis ya time y'all

The Black Power Mixtape
Danny Glover talks about the documentary film that he co-produced
hope this film meks it to the shores of Italy
tho i doubt very much, but i still hope
if it does/or did, it would probably be at some obscure far off venue
or will hear about it after it has been screened, thats jus how tings goes around here
this is definately a must see
Respect also goes to the Activist Mr Danny Glover

This Bitch of a Life
Fela Anikulapo Kuti
honoured to present the high priest of the kalatuta republic
on the side bar of visionaries deh (s'about time!)
das him pon stage doin his ting
bin havin a Fela moment in dis here past daze
and was dying to catch the musical, if it happen to him our shores
then i came across this:
"....At issue is the alleged flagrant misuse of copyright by the producers who, when their paltry offer of $4000 for stage and film rights was turned down by Moore, several years ago, went ahead nonetheless and created the musical, presumably thinking that the author would never have the resources to challenge them. They were wrong: he received the backing of a group of respected and highly principled African Americans. Their support indicates a growing infuriation with corrupt and unscrupulous impresarios and producers who find it acceptable to violate the intellectual property of creative artists for their own profit and gain."
bookaholic got more on that here.
but Tenisio Seanima has the latest exclusive on the saga
more detailed and much more informed
and you can catch Dr Carlos Moore here

Negro with a Hat
Hon Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Das him deh on da side bar chillin with his hat
Negro with a Hat is the title of the book by one Collin Grant:
"....the exhibition of “The Dandy in Photography” that toured the UK that year was conforming to type with its alluring, black and white images of Cecil Beaton, Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward & co, when half-way round the gallery, I was pulled up sharply by one print – the profile of an anonymous black man wearing a fedora.The caption read: ‘Negro with Hat’. Adjacent to it was another portrait by the same photographer; it showed a white man in fancy dress wearing a theatrical turban. It’s title: ‘Man with Hat.’ The juxtaposition seemed to pose a question: is a Negro not a man?"
you can read the rest of the intro here.
and also check out the review of the book by one Jeremy Taylor which i think is succinct and such a pleasure to read
