Further proof positive that crackers never ended slavery, they just hid it out of sight.
"Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison / if you think I am bullshittin', read the thirteenth amendment / involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits / that's why they given drug dealers time in double-digits." -- the one real set of bars Michael Render ever spit
Killer Mike is has some bad takes, but that song goes hard.
Negl a lot of my animus towards Render comes from all that "kill your masters" bullshit across 4 RTJ albums then it turns out he's not only a landlord, but that Greenwood bank shit he was doing is rly just another white institution that he just has a board seat on; shit wasn't about buying up the block, he's just completing the landlord-to-finance-bro transition and keeping a patina of radicalism on himself through his bars. Mf is the masters, fuck he mean?
All that aside, "Reagan" does go stupid hard, tho.
Fuck, this mirrors my feeling on KM exactly. I'd love to see someone contemporary go as hard as RTJ but with an ML lean. All the ones I know are anarchists or old AF (even though I enjoy them too.)
Fr, Bambu’s cool and all, but who’s gonna be the next Public Enemy or (less slur-heavy) Immortal Technique?
If only I could rap...I can only make beats :(
Same, though I’m out of practice.
What DAW do you use? Could use someone else in the music producing instance for sure!
Maybe, I used BandLab online when I was making music, but more recently I’ve used GarageBand solely for non music stuff.
Oh true! My brother sailed the high seas in order to give me a copy of FL Studio so I've been using that for the past few years now lol
Nice, I don’t know enough about “piracy” for that and I’m scared what Apple will do to me, but I wish I could do that.
And patsocs think the revolutionary potential’s with the (hwite) “working class.”
Any country that doesn't actively WANT to have empty prisons has a fucked up prison system. America relies on the prison labour for so many goods, they don't want people to escape the system. The rotating door of "prison->can't get job because you were in prison->turn to crime->prison" is very intentional.
They have festivals in my country right outside the prisons to try to sway public opinion. You get to "try prison food" (it is way better than what prisoners actually get), take photos dressed up with fake handcuffs, and buy cheap goods made by pirsoners. We aspire to be as much of a police state as the US, worse in some ways.
Prisoners can literally see the festivals from the prison, it's crazy.
Exactly, the incentives in any sane system should be creating a situation where there is very little crime. And of course, meeting people's basic needs is the best way to do that. Parenti does a great job detailing this in Blackshirts and Reds where he shows how crime shot through the roof after collapse of USSR, and policing increased massively in former Soviet republics.
Meanwhile, US has perverse incentives in place because there is actual profit being made from imprisoning people while there is no incentive to actually provide for people's needs. This results in US having the highest incarceration rate per capita in the world. US is the very definition of a prison state.
What cursed country do you live in?
Japan, our justice system is...let's go with "bad".
I THOUGHT ye were Welsh...?
I am guessing from the username, good pickup. Mother is welsh, but I’ve lived basically my entire adult life in Japan.
You mean that country that have a justice system that is so bad that they still depend on private law enforcement firms of yakuza?
Hey we don't outsource everything! Sometimes we just hold suspects in custody under inhumane conditions until they break and sign a confession. Thus our 99% conviction rate.
Good old American ~~slavery~~ I mean... ~~indentured servitude~~ erm... prison labor
The Britiah diaspora depended on Indigenous child slaves in fake schools from 1850s to 1998 (and after 1998 in secret) that the Indigenous parents were tricked into funding under the pretense that their enslaved children were guaranteed high quality education and a secured position for elites in European diaspora society as adults. Do anyone seriously think that the British diaspora could industrialized without colonial free riding (like Western European empires with colonized people of colors) or slaves (like Japan with female human)? The enslavement of immigrant of colors is not enough to sustain the authoritarian economy of Pax Americana, so they have a policy to maximize the number of imprisoned people regardless of whether the imprisoned people were guity of a crime even when they accuse Communist countries for exploitation of prisoners without evidence in their hypocrisy.
what the fuck? i knew there was prison slavery, that seems to be as old as time itself, but I didn't realize what that slavery was being used toward
hidden
no, i don't think so...
