      if it was for the man before him written in blood, sensible blood, then absolutely. He did it of his own stupidity and thought that his money would protect him from common sense, and took fellow stupid but less informed people with him....well, money can't protect you from physics, is all I mean. Physics is good. He is not. :-)

      @Snartfoodler 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's sort of poetic justice to me a man ignored all the rules of which the blood was written by men who could probably combine all of the net worth and never equal his. There is nothing better than actually respecting the past's mistakes. Some think they are above it to this day, and the further they reach the harder they fall. Humpty Dumpty behaviour. If James Cameron could do it solo anything less is folly purefold. Good riddance is what I would say. You don't exactly built a tower to the heavens nowadays and expect it not to fall.

    For once, I thought Immortal Technique, Brother Ali, etc (I can't name all of them, but I grouped them into 'leftist' camp) were the undisputed rapper when it comes to political rap (blunt lyrics, "in your face" delivery, music is consistent with political beliefs). I admit I didn't find the instrumental that catchy or the delivery stimulating but the lyrics is well-elaborated. It's definitely the opposite recipe from rappers that I previously mentioned but lead to the same conclusion, that is, criticism of capitalism.

    [Chorus]
    We've got 5 million ways to kill a CEO
    Slap him up and shake him up and then you know
    Let him off the flo', then bait him with the dough
    You can do it funk or do it disco (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Y'know how this go
    We've got 5 million ways to kill a CEO
    Slap him up and shake him up and then you know
    Let him off the flo', then bait him with the dough
    You can do it funk or do it disco (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Y'know how this go
    [Verse 1]
    Well I hope you testify that it was worth your waitin'
    On the turf debatin' how to get it percolatin'
    He workin' you while we happy just to work a day
    But I'ma slap him 'til my blood starts circulatin' (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Do your checks have elasticity?
    Did they cut off yo' 'lectricity?
    Did you scream and yell explicitly?
    Force the boss into complicity (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    I'm a white chalk stencil but I push a pencil
    Rollin' dope fiend rentals through your residential
    Broke as fuck, eatin' lentils with no utensil
    Finna teach pimp class with a ho credential (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    They own sweat shops, pet cops, and fields of cola
    Murder babies with they molars on the areola
    Control the Pope, Dalai Lama, Holy Rollers, and the Ayatollah
    Bump this rollin' in your bucket or your new Corolla
    Well you might catch me on the scenic route, with my penis out
    Yellin', "Twamps for the executives with the meanest mouth!"
    Wanna know what this demeanor's 'bout? City tried to clean us out
    Green is clout, shut 'em down, they ain't never seen a drought
    You interviewed but they ain't callin' you back
    And for the record I ain't called it a gat
    But tuck this in the small of your back
    Wait in the bathroom stall 'til I tap (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    [Verse 2]
    'Cept this game ain't slow, it's the creeper
    If you a janitor, get a street sweeper
    Ugly is even skin deeper
    If you can't get the Pres, get the VeePer (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    They made the murder scene before there was a coroner
    I mighta been born here but I'm a foreigner
    Spillin' swigs for victims of pigs and Afeni's kid
    Flip off the lid, who you pourin fo'? (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    You too could be a corporate green killer, bean spiller (uh)
    "Gangster of Love" just like Steve Miller
    They wear skivvies that's made of chinchilla
    Factory in Mexico, bought a spring villa
    I'm from the land where the Panthers grew
    You know the city and the avenue
    If you the boss we'll be smabbin' through, and we'll be grabbin' you
    To say, "Whassup with the ra-venue?" (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    And if you feel it we can even try to seal it with the...
    [Verse 3]
    Tell him it's a boom in child prostitution
    When he show up at the stroll, give him lead restitution
    You could throw a twenty in a vat o' hot oil
    When he jump in after it watch him boil (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Toss a dollar in the river and when he jump in
    If you can find he can swim
    Put lead boots on him and do it again! You and a friend
    Videotape and the party don't end (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Tell that boogers be sellin' like crack
    He gon' put the little baggies in his nose and suffocate like that
    Put a fifty in the barrel of a gun
    When he try to suck it out, a-ha, well you know this one (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    Make sure you ain't got no priors
    Don't tell 'em that we conspired
    We could let him try to change a flat tire
    Or we could all at once retire (Yo, yo, yo, yo!)
    There are just a few of the...

      Yes, that was my original problem with hip hop. I could find something to like in just about every form of music there is, but all that "I got mine, see?" and "Look how many girls want me" made me disgusted. It took a lot of time and some happy accidents to connect me with the *good* stuff. I love that Boots writes his own riffs and doesn't depend on loops by other people. It reminds me of all the cool funk that you could hear in the 70's and early 80's.

    Mannnn if every rapper talked like this thered be some real direct action... There is a good reason most rappers only talk about drug use, sex and making barely getting by in the hood seem like a romantic way of life to white kids in the suburbs.... Thus perpetuating racism by making white parents disgusted by blackness and white kids jealous and indifferent of an existence shaped by poverty and oppression. It's definitely getting better though this more recent generation of rappers dropping acid and shit seem to really understand how their music shapes American culture... I feel like half the reason the war on drugs got so bad is because gangster rap was the perfect propoganda tool for the white man to opress with utter impunity. Idk I'm sure I'll get shit for this so I'll shut up now

Capitalism isn't determined by your shopping choices but the social relations between those that own the means of production, businesses and the goods and those that don't. Making your own soap doesnae change that.
