Funk, MUSIC, Soul, VIDEO

Blue eyed soul

Posted by Property is Theft | 05.11.08 | Permalink | Comment?

To use the weather underground as a little inspiration, let’s dig into the white boy album crates this sunday.

I dug around the cracker barrel for a while, and came up with 18 songs played or sung by funky Caucasians. This strange strain of funky white boys mostly came from the northern industrial cities like Detroit and Chicago, but some of these cats also came from places like New Orleans and Saint Louis.

We are going to start off with New York native Bobby Caldwell. A man who only had a few hit singles in the US, but is still (and I’m not making this up) HUGE in Japan. Like legend status in the eyes of japanese fans.

Documentary, Revolution, VIDEO

Weather Underground interview film from 1975

Posted by PurplePanther | 05.11.08 | Permalink | Comment?

The right wing political blogs have tried to create a scandal over Chicago’s onetime revolutionary figure William Ayers. Trying to link the Weather Underground bombings to the political and moral views of Barack Obama. “Billy” Ayers was a member and a played a large roll in the Weather Underground. He is now a professor and a reformed non-militant liberal.

Here is a documentary about the Weather Underground filmed in 1975. Two men and three women members are interviewed, including Billy Ayers. They each talk about how they learned of the revolution, and why they went underground to join the fight. They talk about adopting the tactics of the civil rights movement, and using the methods in the anti-war and peoples movements. A great documentary, with some good protest footage and intelligent interviews.

Part 1 of Weather Underground by Emile de Antonio, Mary Lampson, and Haskell Wexler.

Part 2

The rest of the documentary after the break, a must see

Oh man that new 3-6-Mafia lollipop song sucks so bad. Just like that lame Weezy lollipop bullshit.

Why do these gang members think they can make good club songs for the ladies? I guess the money is just too hard to resist. Go with what you know mayne.

Triple 6 Mafia - So High (original memphis mixtape version)

ATL police searching for Soulja Girl

Posted by cynical minded | 05.09.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

The young woman, now known as “Soulja Girl,” who was seen threatening an elderly woman in a viral video this week has found herself in hot water with the law, as Atlanta Police have issued a warrant for the girl’s arrest.

In the video, which was filmed on a public transporation train, the girl confronts the older woman with Soulja Boy lyrics and threatens to kill her.
Wanda Y. Dunham, the chief of police for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), issued a statement requesting help in arresting the girl, according to AllHipHop.
“MARTA police were notified about this video last Friday and launched an immediate and aggressive investigation into the incident,” Dunham said in a statement. “The tipster also indicated the suspect has been known to ride Bus Route 22. MARTA police were able to positively identify the individual allegedly involved in this incident and have secured a warrant for her arrest.”
