The People's Poseur Presents: Whatchu Know Bout. . .Shabazz Palaces? (Part II)


Shabazz Palaces - Blast It (from the Village Beat film, Tough Bond).

Shabazz Palaces - An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum (not the video) from Sub Pop Records.


Tough Bond (2011) from Village Beat [Movie Trailer].

Tough Bond is an urgent message from Africa that documents the disappearance of the village, told through the lives of 3 Kenyan street kids, hustling, sniffing glue, surviving in a parallel society with no tribe but the one they create for themselves. Shot over two years, we lived with our characters and followed their stories from the most rural villages of the country to the hearts of its biggest slums.

* Original score by Shabazz Palaces
* Director/Producer/Camera: Anneliese Vandenberg & Austin Peck
* Editing: Austin Peck & Anneliese Vandenberg
* Sound Engineer: Erik Lohr
* Additional Photography: Marianne Romeo
* Fixer: Julius Lemuya
We are currently raising funds to return to Kenya with the finished film and show it everywhere. We’ll hang sheets from buildings and fire up the generator. We’ll park the truck where the road ends and project it. We’ll assemble thousands and play it loud. Help us do this tour. Make a tax-deductible donation to Village Beat through the Creative Visions Foundation. Click the button.

Kangarot makes music, Missed the Ship in '97 . . .




I like that one.  The synth warbles match the ripples of water in the pool behind the cat on the cover.


Chopped up Russian March with percussion added.  This doesn't hold punches - it hits.


This one kind of jams.


80's Armageddon.


This one and the album reminds me of the some of the stuff that's been coming from Mishka recently, which is pretty cool.


Missed the Ship in '97 by Kangarot has an edge and bite.

Wish the best for him and his family.  One Love.

Revolutionary Theme Music: Babylon Warchild

(Via.)

Older black-and-white clips of various political events is interesting enough content for the first video, but the second song/video combo below goes a step further.  Using a Soviet Russia era propaganda film, which opens with the claim that
This film, both in its theme and artistic treatment, was something new in the world's cinematographic art. It was the first film to be based on a revolutionary event, with the people as it's hero.
is a short silent film juxtaposed with a good underground hip-hop song.  The video utilizes various early filmic avant garde and experimental techniques that make it an interesting watch in itself, especially if interested in the early Russian genius for the 'cinematographic arts' - Eisenstein (wiki here), anybody?


Babylon Warchild (Legitimate, Unknown Mizery, Rumpletiltz) - Call Of The Warchild (Prod. by Jordi Lafordi) [Video - with some mildly graphic content] (2011) off Babylon Warchild (2011).


Babylon Warchild Feat. Fresco P, Black, Symmetry, & BK The General (Prod. by Rumplestiltz) [Video] (2011) album (click here for iTunes) out by Gold From Straw Recordings.

The People's Verdict:  Dope album with three guys from Toronto, who probably won't be confused for Drake.  Babylon Warchild (2011) has that alien Annunaki revolutionary vibe with lyricism more reminiscent of an Immortal Technique.  Rumplestiltz handles an MPC, looper, as well as wielding a cello in live performance, while Legitimate and Unknown Mizery handle the rhyming.  Album features the cats witnessed in action aurally above as well as a song with Reef The Lost Cauze.  Click here for the website.
