If there was or is King of Afro beats has to be Fela Kute. in south Africa he is a legend Hugh Masikela thanks i know Fela coz of his cover to Lady.. still listening in 2024.
Just learned that 'Pidgin english' was and IS a dialect of English. A language that business negotiations among African traders during slave trade created(Cameroun, Ghana, Nigeria). I always thought that Fela made it his own and it was dead. It seems there was very much a defiant tone in the Pidgin english to sidestep colonial interests. A subterfuge of sorts. I talk while welcoming any correction abt this story.
20 years later . listening this masterpiece . dont know what they chant about but feel one with it . eating peas nd potatoes . jumping on my chair like a kid . thank you .
Great guitarist, this goes without saying,but that methamphetamine was a motherfucker even back then. They called it “crank”, but one only has to look at Roy’s “cash register jaw” to know they were one and the same.
A man who came before his time. He saw tomorrow, we did not appreciate him when he came as touch bearer. The Christ of Music, philosopher of a kind. Fela Kuti you defeated death and you lives forever❤❤❤❤
Freedom or Jail, Clips inserted, a baby's being born same time a man is being murdered the beginning and end As far as rap goes it's only natural, i explain my plateau, and also, what defines my name
oh probably more'n one. "suck it up?" sk (cannabis makes you... ?) OUTCAST / SELLS much easier if you /r.oo. test / not "attempted" ? inspects large bag of dice, assumes takes rather too long to check all of them. Lotto? Q: otto? commences explanation of "very BATTLESHIP" vs "there's only a few, and we're willing to risk it" rudder? no? "size" is* _________ my easter is big and electric. What's yours?
refers to painting> and the 'rather naked' girl in bottom left corner? "oh if you catch her... she looks *just like that*... cheeky look that... looks at composition. Sees five to eight figures, outlines painted in UV blacklight paint. Dead? might be.... who are these black on black silhouettes? Stage hands or "ninjas". Remember explaining this idea years ago when talking about "caustic art", ie using only the reflections. If you go iridescent, it's crow feathers. Simply printing gloss levels in patterns and controllable thicknesses, you realise that "reflective" and "view angle" can do interesting things, but when you add "feedbacK", then it becomes a highly explorable space. If you play with cromalin/ light sensiive glue / no complex, you could use egg, and it'd be a lo cheaper than the "dupont brand" stuff that smells like... cancer. Take sticks, UV bake, and sprinkle dust, you can make all sorts of things. Should probably have wworn gasm ask. spacesuit? think my clients got time for me to walk? I run. Gets so bad my MD says "yes, him. he does move rather slow" when in passing through some crowd of suits...politely popped the stray pile of film proofs, dangerously overhanging... had been all night making... nudged back on the table while sneaking past to leave for lunch, and the nefarious client looked wrong way, saw doors closing with other studio person walking through / studio door piggyback opportunist / assumed dooropen was said... looked back, went to pick up film... thought *goingmad... when looked back and saw film mysteriously snaps back to table here? Studio staff laugh, clients look *worried*, MD says "slowboi is troublesome here". I was like "what, am I weird or something/?" thinks: m8... don't be cheeky now... I should have left yesterday, and it's now 4pm. All nighters, you do, but not here... you've got the "business side" to look after... clearly. I'm being nice, but they and you take "as read". My nights are *booked for my *realcareer too you know, but not for the *tailaccess reasons you assume. I'm from London, Thatcher era. I'm basically a catalogue of toxic materials embedded in a human by this point. Mutoid waste co are 50x as bad as me though. welder's syndrome...
