I'd like to share with everyone the new Pharoahe Monch video "Clap" this is the extended version that plays out as a short film that reminded me strongly of the police raid May of last year where a 7 year old girl was shot and killed while filming the A&E police reality show "The First 48". This video moved me intensely and resulted in a reflection of the current state of music.
In a world where Dr. Dre's new video of Eminem rapping him back to life has over 17 million views, Kanye West trying to cause seizures and dancing on a cop car has over 17 million views, and Tyler The Creator of Odd Future eating a cockroach and hanging himself has over 3 million views, I ask how can a video like this go unnoticed and unrepresented by major networks such as MTV and BET? Answer = money. The entire music industry is indeed on "that Donald Trump" shit like the homie Sole speaks on in his new video that can be seen HERE.
In this video we have Pharoahe speaking on a very real subject and providing us with the complete visual to see how real this situation is. So go ahead and blog about the Odd Future kids jumping off of speakers and roofs at SXSW into a sudden cult-following that resembles a juggalo audience without the face paint, but there's real shit going on in the world. Japan is in crisis, the US Westcoast faces a fatal earthquake, we are now at war with Libya, and that's only the tip of the iceberg in world events.
Watch the video, fuck the police. Swag.
