give it back!

Kologbo – Freedom Back

Africa is the Future

coming soon in 2010 from Oghene Kologbo. born in Warri (Nigeria) in 1958, Kologbo has been an integral member of the legendary Fela Kuti’s Africa ’70 for the whole life of the band. Kologbo’s tight tenor guitar playing is a key sound in all the masterpiece records that define the sound of Afrobeat…

obamatron

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/22/us/politics/22obamatron.html

“The 2nd Stage of the plan is to groom a Talking Android who will work within the Negro, who seems to be its classical host; to drive it out, categorize it analyze it expell it slay it, blot Jes Grew. A speaking scull they can use any way they want, a rapping antibiotic who will abort it from the American womb to which it clings like a stubborn fetus.

In other words this Talking Android will be engaged to cut-it-up, break down this Germ, keep it from behind the counter. To begin the campaign, No DANCING posters are ordered by the 100s.

All agree something must be done.

“Jes Grew is the boll weevil eating away at the fabric of our forms our technique our aesthetic integrity,” says a Southern congressman. “1 must ponder the effect of Jew Grew upon 2,000 years of civilization,” Calvinist editorial writers wonder aloud.”

(the above is an excerpt from Ishmael Reed’s classic ‘Mumbo Jumbo‘)

...

guess I understand better that look now…

then again there is this,

and finally the obamatron in action…

***bonus points if somehow this gets tangled up in the “Hitler is pissed” meme…you know, Hitler would be like “First the teabaggers compare the first black president to me and NOW I find out that he is really a Disney animatronic robot…and Disney still really owns Marvel too?!?!?!?”

Black Elvis

Occubus Jive — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:01:07 +0000

I have always admired the complexity of the name “Elvis”. You get both “Lives” and “Evils” right out of the gate. However, add Kool Keith to the mix and all of sudden you end up with “Black Elvis”. You know, somehow subtlety changed and even more complex….“Black Elvis” is like the monolith from the 2001 movie, it just looks at you and dares you to ask all sorts of mind numbing questions. Which is why I am especially feeling that Japanese artist Verbal from Teriyaki Boyz decided to go ahead and produce the “prized object” of Kool Keith’s alter ego. I’m talking about that insane “hat” he ran (perhaps still?) around with while solidifying the Elvis remix.

check it:
I mean think about it, how many times have you seen the lame afro wig? This here is on a whole different level…
Its ok…I know you want it too…
oh and finally here is the MC known simply as Verbal, now does it all make sense? He rocks the Black Elvis and other fashion gear on his label called AMBUSH…
