| Professor Griff appears on Nick Canon's CannonsClass podcast, defends the anti-semitic and homophobic comments that got him fired from Public Enemy, spreads additional antisemitic and black Israelite conspiracy theories, praises Farrakhan all with support from Cannon Posted: 13 Jul 2020 08:17 AM PDT Interview Jewish Insider piece: Video of TV host and actor Nick Cannon spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories and praising virulent antisemite Louis Farrakhan has resurfaced in recent days. Cannon — who currently hosts "The Masked Singer" on Fox and previously hosted "America's Got Talent" on NBC — spoke with Richard Griffin, aka Professor Griff, on a recent episode of "Cannon's Class," the TV host's YouTube talk show. Cannon appears to have filmed the video last year, and reposted it to his channel a few weeks ago — where it gained renewed attention over the weekend. Griffin was a member of the hip hop group Public Enemy until the late 1980s, when he was ousted over antisemitic remarks he made in a series of interviews. In the reposted video with Cannon, the TV host praised Griffin for having "the most substance and weight in speaking unapologetically… and you stuck to your guns." Early in the 90-minute video, Griffin said that the semitic people and the semitic languages "have absolutely nothing to do with any white people." Cannon then chimed in: "The semitic people are black people." Griffin and Cannon agreed that the term "antisemitic" is used to divide people and "neutralize" criticism. In the video with Cannon, Griffin attempted to distance himself from the comments that got him fired from Public Enemy — "they put that on me… I never said these things." In a 1989 interview with The Washington Times, Griffin said: "The Jews are wicked. And we can prove this," and said that Jews are responsible for "the majority of wickedness that goes on across the globe." Griffin told Cannon that during that now-infamous interview, he was merely "speaking facts" about who controls the music industry. "I'm hated now because I told the truth," he recalled of his dismissal in 1989, repeatedly referencing "the Cohens and the Moskowitzes." Cannon later referenced "going as deep as the Rothschilds, centralized banking, the 13 families, the bloodlines that control everything even outside of America." Cannon claimed that when people understand who the real Jewish people are, "it's never hate speech, you can't be antisemitic when we are the semitic people. When we are the same people who they want to be. That's our birthright." He later added that "we are the true Hebrews." Cannon also spoke about "giving too much power to the 'they' — and then the 'they' turns into the Illuminati, the Zionists, the Rothschilds." Cannon has praised Farrakhan repeatedly on his YouTube show, saying that "every time I've heard him speak, it's positive, it's powerful, it's uplifting… for whatever reason, he's been demonized." The prolific actor, singer and TV host's most recent single is titled "Madoff." In 2013, Cannon was criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for appearing in a video from the New Black Panther Party, which the ADL refers to as "the nation's largest antisemitic and racist black militant group." Rabbi David Wolpe, the senior rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, told JI that the comments in the video "are a lamentable combination of ignorance and hostility." In comments to JI, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said that "anyone seeking a Ph.D in Jew-hatred should watch this 'interview' in its entirety. Farrakhan's hateful screeds on full display in the next generation inculcating [the] 21st century through cultural figures and social media. Pure poison." submitted by /u/HHHRobot [link] [comments] |

| [DISCUSSION] Curren$y - Pilot Talk (10 Years Later) Posted: 13 Jul 2020 07:54 AM PDT Pilot Talk is the third studio album by rapper Curren$y. It was to be the first released under the newly re-launched Roc-A-Fella Records by Damon Dash and distributed through Def Jam Recordings. It was later revealed that the album would be released under Damon Dash's DD172 record label division, BluRoc Records. The album was originally scheduled to be released on March 23, 2010. However, when the Def Jam deal was acquired, the album was given a June 15, 2010 release. The album was then pushed back and released on July 13. The entire album is solely produced by Ski Beatz except "Prioritize", which is produced by Nesby Phips, and "Roasted", which is produced by Monsta Beatz. Ski Beatz also remixed the song "Breakfast" for the album which was originally produced by Mos Def. Several music videos were shot for the album promotion and can be found on CreativeControl.tv submitted by /u/HHHRobot [link] [comments] |

| [DISCUSSION] Jazz Cartier - Marauding In Paradise (5 Years Later) Posted: 13 Jul 2020 10:59 AM PDT Anupa Mistry in P4k: Jazz Cartier is Toronto's first post-Drake rapper, an artist who benefits from Drake's razing of American rap's once-inviolable boundaries, but with no formal ties to the OVO crew. Jazz, who also goes by Jacuzzi La Fleur, has managed to build a sizable local fan base—still rare in a city long referred to by local artists as the Screwface Capital—by establishing a grimier counter-narrative to Drake's opulent, uptown vision of a city newly christened The Six. On his polished debut album, Marauding in Paradise, he deploys the new nickname just once, on "Local Celebrity Freestyle", setting up his own us-vs-them, downtown/uptown dichotomy: "I'm from Toronto, but they call it the Six." But Marauding isn't antagonistic: it just offers a counterpoint, a glimpse into a different, younger subset of Toronto's art and party scene. Living in a city giddy off one man's come up, Jazz prefers to move to the sound of his own voice. And his elegant, elastic bark is loud and clear: The best moments on Marauding are fearless, theatrical. Jazz assumes the bluster of a corner preacher on "Guardian Angel" and gives the intro track about soured relationships a gothic vibe, reminiscent of the skits on early Dungeon Family records. (After a brief verse, the song tumbles into a snippet from Mista's "Blackberry Molasses", confirming the allusion.) Elsewhere, on "New Religion" and "Holy Shit", he's unafraid to shriek, wail and growl into the mic. To allow Marauding a chance to connect, you have to push past some of the overt sonic and aesthetic allusions to Houston rapper Travis Scott, which compromise the sound of an original voice shining through. On the evidence of Marauding, however, we should give 'Cuzzi some time to distill this influence. There's exciting trial-and-error happening everywhere on the album: His willingness to play with flows, his eye for detail, a surprising grip of giddy, geeky quips ("I'm Kanye with shrugs"; rhyming Dom Perignon with M. Night Shyamalan) and the ability to work with his right-hand-man producer, Lantz. Together, they temper the record's sometimes-overwhelming maximalism at the right moments. The tape lacks a signature song, one that sums up the world Jazz lives in and invites us in. "Switch" and "The Downtown Cliché" feature the on-trend pairing of bottom-feeding bass/triplet cavalcades. Lantz distills a variety of vibes, from post-trap bangers and PARTYNEXTDOOR-style bedroom soul to Easy Mo Bee boom bap and the Vine-brittle blap of Terio's theme song. Most compelling are his transitions, particularly on songs like the beautiful Toro Y Moi flip, "Rose Quartz/Like, Crazy", and "Flashiago/A Sober Drowning". Here are some things we learn about Jacuzzi from Marauding, though: he is, or has been, a drug-addled party kid and a lovesick lothario, and has gone from being the only black kid in an Idaho classroom to too expensive for your features. It's not easy to inhabit these identities on a single album—let alone your first—but Jazz is agile enough to pull it off and, like Toronto, he's still growing. submitted by /u/HHHRobot [link] [comments] |

| [DISCUSSION] Father - Who's Gonna Get Fucked First? (5 Years Later) Posted: 13 Jul 2020 08:40 AM PDT Fact Mag: One of the weird pleasures of adulthood is revisiting the artifacts of youth and uncovering some of the dark and twisted material you were subjected to — without question — as a child: nursery rhymes, lullabies and fairy tales about babies falling from trees, child cannibalism, self-mutilation and the Great Plague. That's why it's fitting that Father kicks off Who's Gonna Get Fucked First? with a riff on 'Hush Little Baby': it's an album that often shrouds the darker moments of young adulthood in a pleasant package, like weed laced with PCP. In the wake of Young Hot Ebony and breakout single 'Look At Wrist', Father deals with everything that has happened in the last six months or so: the side effects of his first taste of fame; heavy doses of sex, drugs and assorted Awful-styled fuckshit; and, ultimately, the deep-seated psychological issues that persist despite all else. Compared to his peers who are suffering from success, Father is at once more delighted, more defiant and more disturbed than we'd expect. While the title isn't just a raunchy come-on (trying to get a "pearlescent white Lamb[orghini], without signing 360 deal to white man" requires navigation of music industry fuckery), there's plenty of that, too. But despite being explicit in both detail and content, Father avoids the lazy misogyny that is part-and-parcel with most contemporary rap, putting a premium on female pleasure and keeping things sex positive. "It started off PG but now it's BET Uncut / started you and me but now it's you and me and her / so what? who cares if they think that you're a slut," he ponders on 'BET Uncut', using the network's controversial, softcore video show to destigmatize sexual exploration. Elsewhere, there's a focus on "hit[ting] her spot," getting girls "wetter than the Keys in September," and plenty of "come" double entendres. This attitude towards sex has cropped up in Awful's catalog previously: KeithCharles Spacebar proclaimed "we never slut shame, we ain't never give a fuck" in 'Drink My Spit', a song Father calls back to — albeit with a depraved comeback — on 'BET Uncut'. On the same song, RichPoSlim puts Super Mario and sex positions in the same couplet, "unlock[s] her coochie chakras," and wonders why if "I say she's sexually liberated, you call her ass a ho?" It's a moment where Father shares the spotlight with another Awful family member, but not the last: Stalin Majesty and Abra add a verse and harmonies to 'Morena', respectively, while Abra raps about girl hate on the Miami bass-influenced 'Gurl'. Spacebar contributes to a handful of songs, flexing his ¾ muscles on 'Slow Dance'. As Father reminds on 'Back in the "A" Freestyle / On Me', Awful rolls "fifteen deep;" "that's 30 hands" in a fight or on a track. When you get a few members of Awful together in a room, conversations and collaboration will happen — but so will (self-)destruction. In one of the most vivid lines on the album, Father raps: "Nggas in the party, mixing Moët with the Brandy / Keith pop a xan / hit a ngga where he stand / and I jumped in with the RKO before he land." That type of jackassery is all fun and games until about 'Spoil You Rotten' ("drank too much rum and I died"), when the album quickly takes a sinister turn. Father sounds like a Xan-addled goth over otherworldly groans and live drums on the Spacebar-assisted 'Highway 101', a mood countered by the bouncy 'Everybody in the Club Gettin Shot'. A self-aware flip of street rap tropes (like Young Hot Ebony track '2 Dead, 6 Wounded'), the song turns "everybody in the club getting shot / everybody gonna twirl then drop" into a violent reworking of something like 'Tipsy'. The album ends with 'Suicide Party', a song that takes self destruction to its logical conclusion, with a slinky riff, sinister efforts from Slug Christ and Spacebar, and a sing-song hook: "It's a suicide party / who's trying to die first? / vodka and Bacardi / where's our advisors? / oh I guess they're tied up / well let's get higher." The hook of 'Suicide Party' is another twisted lullaby from Father, and a reprise of the title track. He's still "stressed and depressed," but as always, he's doing things on his own terms and with Awful by his side. submitted by /u/HHHRobot [link] [comments] |
