I think Mach would definitely f*** with this guy’s stance that if you don’t know Haitian history then you don’t know world history.

Hopefully Hitler 8

would love a lot of mach verses on hwh8

That’s honestly what I’m expecting.

idc put him on every song like that jay elec album and let him renegade it so i can call it pray for haiti deluxe like they called awt 4:44 deluxe

oh for a fact, that line made me know he was the real deal

been studying aime cesaire so imma check out that play

Do you have any examples that you think are great from Greil marcus I like to read well written reviews and thinkpieces. A lot of people try to write them but only few are good at it.

don’t think he’d f*** with him calling it crime rap

Personal interest or academia?

that’s the yt in him he can’t help it

We gangsta conscientious

my personal interests dictate what i’m studying so both

i wouldn’t say my degree is strictly caribbean studies but it’s def a key part of it

i’ll blame it on the fact he a professor and isn’t really someone who is as well versed as us

Didn’t hate this. I think Feefo just pivoted into that inane Griselda Records discussion because he was feeling left out, haha. But there’s still absolutely no excuse for them missing the entirety of 2017.

Glad DEHH didn’t even mention the Steez line, but I guess it’s because they’re adults and understand that it’s not a diss.

Shout out Sahugold.

nah he’s actuallly very well versed thats the issue

yt ppl who feel like / are scholars of black culture make broad generalizations to get points across. part of it is the nature of lectures so it’s not the biggest of deals. it’s a symptom of information being held hostage behind elite cultural institutions.

at best they’re just goofy, at worst they’re damaging misrepresentations.

the difference is they think it’s deeper than rap we know it’s deeper than rap u dig

Sounds great to study the same thing you arr interested by, really lucky. Anything you would recommend to a Mach fan to read?

i am incredibly privileged and i thank the universe for putting me in this position.

it depends on what ur personal interests are but the best place to start is the black jacobins by clr james

google libgen. look up black jacobins. free pdf right there. it’s easy to navigate but if ur confused or can’t find hit hit me for the link.

black jacobins is what most ppl consider the definitive account of the haitian revolution and the professor nigga was not dragging it when he said “you don’t understand world history if you don’t understand haitian history” it will seriously change your world view

not a haitian scholar, but a major figure of the francophone diaspora, franz fanon is another author i can’t recommend enough if you’re new to these studies.

if you want poetic text that laments on the mature of violence read wretched of the earth.

Unless “Fanon” is his real last name, I can’t imagine August’s name isn’t a nod to this guy.

yep

please read him if ur not familiar with his work. even a passage can be transformative. on violence is insane and probably can be found online, and for sure thru the methods i talked about above

What are the best mach x fahim tracks?

Definitely will! Heard of him but haven’t had the chance to read anything yet. Also gonna check out Black Jacobins, thanks for the info on how to find the .pdf
