  1. "What he fails to realize is that it's the Rock & ROLL Hall of Fame. And everything other than rock—when rock & roll splintered in the 60s—is the roll... Kiss are rock gods, but they don't have a lot of roll to them."
    – Chuck D

    Legend.

  2. Legendary hiphop group Public Enemy has a new single, "March Madness." But it's not about basketball — it's about gun violence. Here's co-founder Flavor Flav's story for Newsweek about why he is campaigning for stronger gun protection laws. "America is being built on fear. You have people who are scared. And these people are fighting for gun rights to protect themselves. They wouldn't have to protect themselves if all guns were banned," he writes. "Fear is a powerful, short-term motivator. We need to flip it so it can break through to be a positive and valuable resource. Let our fear of losing our children be more powerful than our fear of our next-door neighbor." At the second link, learn more about "March Madness" from the Quietus. Profits from the song will go to The Black Music Action Coalition Human Rights Fund and the anti-gun-violence organization Everytown.

  3. Rockpalast – „James Brown: Say It Loud!“ (2024)

    Eine Geschichte von Sound, Stolz und Selbstermächtigung. Ihr Rhythmus beginnt lange, bevor der erste Ton erklingt. Er liegt in den Blicken, in der Geschichte, im politischen Körper des Mannes, um den es in diesem Vierteiler geht. Kein Heldenporträt einer Musikikone, sondern eine visuelle und akustische Rekonstruktion von Geschichte – die so sehr von Gewalt, Ausschluss und strukturellem Rassismus geprägt ist wie von überlebensgroßem Talent, kreativer Wut und einer visionären Bühnenpräsenz. (ARD, Neu)

    This was part of the "Literacy Test" that as late as 1967 Black [People] in Louisiana had to take in order to be able to vote.

    Fine Arts Militia - We Are Gathered Together (2003)

    Fine Arts Militia is a band formed by #ChuckD, best known for seminal #HipHop group #PublicEnemy. They’ve only released this one album, a potent mix of Chuck D's forthright vocals, more #SpokenWord than #rap, over a rock-solid #RhythmSection and searing #guitar as aggressive as any Public Enemy missive.

    Not a weak track to be found here, but this one, “A Twisted Sense Of God Pt. 2,” sure hits.

    (And to think how mad we were THEN...)
