A great deal has been written about Altamont in the years since, but so much of the language around it has the exonerating blush of the passive: the sixties were ending; the Angels were the Angels; it could only happen to the Stones. There may have been larger forces at work, but the attempt to see Altamont as the end of the sixties obscures the extent to which what happened that night had happened, in different ways, many times before, and has happened many times since. “A young black man murdered in the midst of a white crowd by white thugs as white men played their version of black music—it was too much to kiss off as a mere unpleasantness,” Greil Marcus wrote, in 1977. Hunter does not appear in Owens’s photos and he is only a body in “Gimme Shelter.” It is worth returning to that day and trying to see Meredith Hunter again.

Altamont, fin du rêve hippie ou début de la violence raciste ? Un tournant dans l’histoire US... et celle du rock. Plein de magnifiques photos et une histoire terrible.

L’histoire derrière l’album Madvillainy (sorti en 2004) qui réunit MF Doom et Madlib.

The name on the plane ticket read: Daniel Dumile. It summoned the ex-Zev Love X from Atlanta to L.A. to meet Madlib. Dumile may have officially announced his villainy around the time of Clinton’s impeachment, but “DOOM” was what the kids in Long Beach, New York, always called him—a warning woven into the syllables of his surname. It became chilling prophecy when SubRoc, his brother and partner in K.M.D., was run over and killed on the Long Island Expressway in 1993.

Pour illustrer l’entretien que nous avons eu avec Sylvain Bertot, à propos de son livre Rap indépendant : La vague #hip-hop indé des années 1990/2000, nous lui avons demandé de faire une sélection de titres emblématiques de cette scène.
