“We Are All Many Things” – An Interview with #Nadia_Davids

“In #Cape_Town there’s 800,000 plus / A large population we’re starting a nation / … half of the Cape is Arabian,” raps Youngsta CPT (government name: Riyadh Roberts) on his new single, “Arabian Gang$ter.” The rapper is one of a new generation of South African creatives of Muslim background who interact matter-of-factly with their social…
Cape Town is equal parts fascinating and infuriating: it’s at once incredibly beautiful, historically dense and famously segregated. It’s a city of dark beginnings founded through a combination of the systemized slaughter of indigenous people, a mercantile slave trade and long-term colonialism that eventually morphed into #Apartheid. It was also, as a result of all these crimes, one of the most culturally and racially heterogamous places on earth by the 1800s.
It’s the sort of place that invites multiple tellings precisely because its inhabitants experience the city so differently.

AGF (AKA Antye Greie-Ripatti): “A DEEP MYSTERIOUS TONE” (Part 1): Interview by Malcolm Angelucci

By Malcolm Angelucci on August 1, 2015 Articles
It was with some trepidation that we awaited the third installment of AGF’s work on women’s poetry. After Gedichterbe (2011) and Kuuntele (2013), based on German and Finnish poetry respectively, rumour had it that that AGF was working on a Japanese project. We met in early July, just before the launch of A Deep Mysterious Tone. Despite being in the middle of her European tour, AGF has been incredibly generous with her time. Our chat moved from her recent work with an amazing group of collaborators, to her involvement in the Visibility Project and the Female Pressure Blog, and finally to her great work at a local level on the island of Hailuoto in Finland, where she currently lives.
So generous, in fact, that we are presenting this long interview in two parts.
Malcolm Angelucci: Thanks for chatting with us today, it is great to finally have the chance to talk about this great ongoing project that puts together history, poetry, electronic music and, in every new installment, a series of ‘voices’, collaborators that open so many new paths for us listeners… I know that you were working on A Deep Mysterious Tone last year in Japan… was it a particularly long production?
AGF: It all started with the German edition in 2010, where I developed the idea to research and use poetry of the old times to compose new pieces. And with Gedichterbe I discovered that it was beautiful research… I decided to approach it through a female perspective, and I looked for the first known female poem, Frau Ava (1060-1127), a religious woman… so I combined her verses with a rapper and we made a track out of it. It was an interesting methodology, to put old texts and old lives in dialogue with today…

rojava-female-pressure« Cette campagne vise principalement à faire connaître le mouvement de résistance actuellement à l’œuvre dans les cantons du Rojava (situés en Nord Syrie) dans lesquels, à tous les niveaux de la prise de décision, les femmes sont engagées pour construire une société nouvelle fondée sur la justice sociale et ethnique, sur la liberté religieuse, les principes écologiques et l’égalité des sexes. Malgré d’importantes différences culturelles et historiques entre les pays occidentaux et le Kurdistan, cette campagne utilise l’art et la musique dans le but non seulement de les rapprocher, mais aussi, en impliquant autant de musiciens et d’activistes kurdes que possible, dans celui de construire des liens durables basés sur le dialogue et le respect.”

Meet Gizzle, the Queer Female MC Who’s Writing Your Favorite Rappers’ Songs | Pitchfork
▻http://pitchfork.com/features/profile/9945-meet-the-queer-female-mc-whos-writing-your-favorite-rappers-songs/?mbid=social_twitter
The video for Puff Daddy & the Family’s recent single “You Could Be My Lover” both is and isn’t what we’ve come to expect from a Diddy clip. It begins with rampant ostentatiousness, as a Versace bathrobe-clad Sean Combs frolics around a palatial estate, teacup in hand. A macho monologue gives way to a player’s anthem: “You can’t be my girl, but you can be my lover” croons a non-committal Ty Dolla $ign, Puff’s womanizing cohort du jour. The two men are surrounded by young models in tiny tops who seem vaguely excited to be there. It looks like a time warp straight out of 1997.
But then, at the 1:44 mark, a slim, dreadlocked woman enters the frame to spit game to the camera—and to the women flanking her. She’s the MC, not an ornament, wearing a white tee underneath a double-breasted jacket adorned with regal gold buttons. This is Glenda Proby, aka Gizzle, a 28-year-old rapper who has spent the last few years racking up writing credits on songs for top-tier artists like Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates, G-Eazy, Iggy Azalea, Travis Scott, and T.I., alongside Ty Dolla $ign and Puffy, two of her closest friends and collaborators.

J’aime bien Zebra Katz aussi même si il ne respire pas le féminisme dans ses clips.
(update)
Mr. Morgan created the character Zebra Katz more than five years ago as part of a senior thesis project at Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts.
“Ima Read” was originally recorded as a statement on black culture and performance, a tribute to the movie “Paris Is Burning,” but audiences did not seem to get it. Many people thought he was misogynistic or worse, though another version, a duet with a female rapper, Njena Reddd Foxxx, added some complexity to that argument.

’Neutralize’ a Terrorist? Just Say a Bullet to the Head - Opinion -
The trial of Elor Azaria is teaching us the meaning of ’neutralized.’

Haaretz - Israel News Haaretz.com
On Sunday, without warning, the washers in the enormous laundry room beneath our feet suddenly stopped. Suddenly, instead of the susurrus of the machines, the rush of the water and the shriek of steam, silence reigned. It took some time to process, to realize what had happened to the white noise that has been part of our lives for many years.
A moment before we adjusted to the quiet, the confident voice of the security officer of Hebron’s Jewish community, Eliyahu Liebman, said, “A shot in the head is a means to neutralize [a terrorist].” Then additional voices murmured, as if Jaffa’s exotic military court were haunted: “The terrorist was neutralized,” “the girl was neutralized,” “the woman holding a kitchen knife was neutralized,” “the boy who fled the scene was neutralized.”
It’s so simple. Why didn’t you say before “a bullet to the head, “a bullet to the head,” “a bullet to the head”? “A bullet to the head” — so clear, manly, resolute, Israeli. Elor Azaria, everyone’s son, was meant for a historic role in Israeli society: to rip off the fig leaf covering its nakedness, to stop the historical “word laundering.”
It fits, like a finger to a trigger, to Efrat Lechter’s interview with The Shadow (rapper Yoav Eliasi) on Channel 2 on Friday. The language of wimps like Benny Begin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Tzachi Hanegbi and everyone Eliasi quoted in his lisping voice is being replaced by the language of rappers — a raised palm moving up and down, index finger miming the trigger of a pistol being pulled as the rapper screams “Bullet to the head, bullet to the head” at full volume. The audience mirrors his movements in unison, roaring, “Bullet to the head, bullet to the head, bullet to the head,” as though gangsta-rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitudes), writers of “Fuck tha Police,” were on stage, straight out of Compton, California.
« Bullet in your head », c’est plutôt Rage Against the Machine que NWA, mais c’est le genre de choses que l’avocat Avigdor Feldman ne sait probablement pas !

Yachts, jets and stacks of cash: super-rich discover risks of Instagram snaps | Technology | The Guardian
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/03/super-rich-discover-hidden-risks-instagram-yachts-jets
Oisín Fouere, managing director of K2 Intelligence in London, said social media was increasingly their “first port of call”. Their opponent in one asset recovery case claimed to have no significant valuables – until investigators found a social media post by one of his children that revealed they were on his $25m yacht in the Bahamas.
...
The growing significance of social media in litigation was recently illustrated by rapper 50 Cent, who was ordered by a Connecticut court last month to explain a photo on Instagram in which he posed with stacks of $100 bills that spelled out “broke”, months after filing for bankruptcy. The rapper claimed the money was fake.
...
Hall, a former lawyer turned corporate investigator, said most investigations were more complex, and involved using social media to map a target’s family and business networks. For example, they might use the metadata embedded in an Instagram post to identify their location, or use a Facebook “like” or tag to track down a proxy company. He said: “You can start building up a profile of that individual: where they are; what their interests are; who are they regularly in touch with?”
White savior narrative ? Macklemore’s “White Privilege II” Is a Mess, But We Should Talk About It
▻http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1003-macklemores-white-privilege-ii-is-a-mess-but-we-should-talk-about-it
There is one argument against himself that Macklemore doesn’t explicitly make in his just-released song, “White Privilege II,” and it’s important to get this argument out of the way because it’s most likely the one to be used against this song in the long run. Throughout this song’s four rap verses—and let’s just call this a “song” for shorthand at this point; it’s hard to tell if this thing succeeds as a piece of music—he outs himself as a self-doubting ally in the war against racism, sits confounded as he’s congratulated by unconscious racists, places himself in culture-vulture crosshairs, and finally, reveals himself as a knowing recipient of white privilege. But, at no point does he broach the possibility of this all being part of an elaborate white savior strategy.

4 Things Macklemore Told Us About ’White Privilege II’
Seattle rapper anticipated criticism of the song, but felt it important to confront #structural #racism
▻http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/4-things-macklemore-told-us-about-white-privilege-ii-20160125
“The question is, What type of human do I want to be? How do I want to use my platform? Do I want to be safe, under the umbrella of my white privilege? Or do I want to push back and resist? There’s not a right or wrong answer for any human out there, it’s just an individual question, and I think that, for a long time, we were safe. It’s easier, as a white person, to be silent about racial injustice. It’s easier. On paper. But it’s not easier on the whole, because injustice affects all of us, whether we know it or not, whether we acknowledge it or not. At a certain point, this song might affect sales, this might affect touring, but it doesn’t matter if I’m not speaking up – if I’m not pushing myself to speak truth.”

Rapper Faces Life in Prison Over His Lyrics

San Diego rapper Brandon Duncan, aka Tiny Doo, has no criminal record, yet he is now facing trial on nine counts of participating in “criminal street gang conspiracy.” If convicted, the charges could land him life in prison. The charges stem from Duncan’s latest album, No Safety. San Diego Deputy District Attorney Anthony Campagna is leading the prosecution. It’s a case that redefines the traditional understanding of conspiracy and free speech. The Guardian points out that the issues have more to do with class and race and that Duncan seems to be guilty of nothing more than speaking to the truth about the world surrounding him.
