MC ZULU’s 2012 Post-Election Impressions / I Am *NOT* Afraid Of Americans

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

I recently made a post about going to the polls dressed as a Black Panther, speaking in a thick African accent… or some craziness I described. Most people saw it for what it was. A JOKE.

Really, I went to the polls with my kids, voted (even for a few Republicans) and went home to cook dinner (yaaawwn); Meanwhile online I was being subjected to a LITANY of verbal assault from several conservative, racist-trash individuals, who although they are NOT even connected to me on social media… (Thanks Facebook Security) all read the post and decided they should “pray for me and my children”, because “I’m what’s wrong with this country today”…… you insolent SWINE.

Ultimately they removed their posts… COWARDS.

Just to show you all I am NOT afraid of any of you… I wanted to give you my current snapshot of AMERIKKA in 2012, as I see it. In fact, to commemorate Barack Obama’s 2nd election, and ALSO in the hopes that we can finally get this shit right, let’s put EVERYONE ON BLAST today!

The Top Two DREGS Of Society Right Now

RACIST WHITE MALES:
Beyond your WHITE vote, Mitt Romney does not give TWO SHITS about you; nor does Barack Obama. If your only worldly possessions are a bloodhound and a shotgun, There IS NO MONEY for the government to take from you! I have more news for you. The only reason your makeshift, meth lab has not been raided is because the ATF is afraid of blowing the entire trailer park sky high.

All you guys in the boardrooms, If you’re wondering to yourself… Am I a racist? I will tell you the one dead giveaway. If the only two emotions you feel on a daily basis are: 1. Fear and 2. Anger, then Congratulations… You Are The Oppressor.

SELLOUT BLACK MALES:
Are you out of your G*Damn mind? Pissed off at George Zimmerman but shooting up your OWN neighborhood? The few of you who ARE employed will KISS the WHITE MANS ASS one day, and then BEAT THE HELL out of a Black Woman on the next. Check YouTube for the evidence. Every time Whitey had a slave whipped, that whip was swung by YOUR Boot Lickin’, “Step ‘N’ Fetch It” azz… You did the dirty work while “boss” drank lemonade in the shade.

Fast Forward to 2012 and things have not changed one bit…. “Gangsta”. Got your GUN out to shoot-a nigga? Ridin’ Dirty to go make more babies you won’t support? 47 years old under house arrest at your grandmothers place…. working on that RAP album with no other form of income; Keepin’ it REAL, huh Dawg..?

P.S. If she’s a Hood Rat, it’s because of how you have treated / neglected her. ESPECIALLY if you are her father.

………Who’s  Almost There?

LATINOS:

While the debate over whether you BELONG in the USA rages, here’s something to consider.. THIS IS YOUR G*DAMN country!! You were here FIRST! You are the Native Americans who crossed the Bering Straight! This is why I support naturalization. The problem is that the ESTABLISHMENT has been against your progress, and far too many of you think that by hating Blacks, you’ll SOMEHOW be accepted by Whites… Scroll up to see how that turns out.

So many Latinos are hard working citizens whose children are poised to become true leaders in society, while a few have become ruthless wannabe drug lords :( #nobueno

They Play Us Against One Another
In the U.S.A. while the Super-Rich, FACIST press corp pretends that there is some war with Blacks, Whites and Latinos… Blacks right now are in a CIVIL WAR. Whites are beginning to see the game for what it is. The Latino community has also become more educated, cultured and vibrant. We need to stand strong and resist what has happened with class warfare in the past; continue the progress we have made in recent years and move away from the streets, into the colleges.


David Bowie/Nine Inch Nails – I’m Afraid Of Americans

Who’s Getting It Right In America?

ASIANS:

Many of the top Singers, Rappers, Dancers and Actors right now are of Asian decent. But THEN AGAIN, so are many of the top STUDENTS. What’s the big difference you ask? Asian parents are USUALLY in the picture!! These kids by and large will never disrespect their parents. Their parents in turn HELP THEM to become whatever they want to be… then their COMMUNITY supports them! If it’s anyone close to living the “American Dream”…. it’s people from Asia.

GAYS:
You should know first of all that most Reggae singers do not give a damn about what consenting adults do in their bedroom. Also the way I feel about it, you should be able to marry your fkn CAR if you want to. Personally I have LOVE IN MY HEART for every human being… (From the waist down I deal with strictly ladies, but hey.. that’s MY thing.) Respect MY boundaries / I’ll respect YOURS! Also anyone at my concerts/parties/etc. have a problem with gay people being there… I would rather THEY leave instead. BULLIES ARE NEVER WELCOME.

WOMEN:
WOW… Did you EVER Kick Mitt Romney and his cohorts IN THE BALLZ for 2012!! Many women I spoke to were on the political fence over the economic issues facing this country, and rightfully so. If the presidency were a purely financial argument I would want a multimillionaire to run things also… but it’s not is it? The minute Republicans started in with their “Religious Caveman Approach to Modern Motherhood”, it was all downhill from there. You showed them exactly who the hell is BOSS.

WEED HEADS:
It’s HAPPENING!! Starting with COLORADO, Marijuana is slowly becoming LEGALIZED, which is GREAT for the economy! So many JOBS will be available now because you guys will NEVER take your baked-out asses to work on time :) Let’s not even TALK about the financial boon to the “snacking industry”! AND the air is thinner…….. I might just quit all this, and open up a chain of 7-11′s in Boulder somewhere.

America’s New Gold Rush… A bag of Doritos at 10,000 ft…!
I could go on, but you get the point.

Of course, like every rule has an exception: for every shining example within a community there are complete and utter disappointments (and vice verse). What we need to do is learn how to live together as a PLANET! Your heart has GOT to expand beyond the borders of your country, rise above the color of your skin. There is no such thing as YOUR OWN KIND! See every living thing as a part of you. This is how you embrace The Universe and grow closer to GOD… NOT by dividing.

Get it together and do not question MY wisdom, Heathens.

QUALO ft. Twista I Aint A Pimp / Veoba / Chicago Biz

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Hey World. This song is from 2007…
I posted it just to let you know your new-found love affair with Chicago is LATE. This was one of my favorite tracks when it came out, so I was overjoyed as hell to find it on YouTube.

When it comes to talent Chicago has always been kickin’ in the door. The PROBLEM has always been with the BUSINESS aspect of things. Let’s face it. The thing that draws a crowd here is traditionally SPORTS. That’s because sports events are over pretty early. People here have to be at WORK in the A.M., and they barely make enough to cover expenses.

Regarding BUSINESS… I found a website of someone who seems determined to make a difference here in the CHI. Richard Veoba www.veoba.com ..oh wait. Kick Rocks if you think this is some sort of advertisement. (I will have them, but this isn’t one of them) I really haven’t even hit Veoba up yet officially, but judging from what they have to offer it looks promising.

One more track which was recorded in Chicago to let you know who’s Boss..
You know Electro Reggae is murdering SOUND all over the world these days? Check THESE guys out.

Nepotism At Its Finest: My Daughter On Stage With Me

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a dream come true. It is… but then again, no one really wants their kids to aspire to be performers.

Performers ESPECIALLY don’t want that…lol
Also I am resolute in my policy of not going for the “cutsie” vote, by trotting my kids out. But this one has trained in this style of dance for years…. so THAT’S a DIFFERENT story… isn’t it? ..well?

This is part of Millennium Park’s ‘Electric Picnic’ concert series, where they have DJs spin in the HUGE, AWESOME Pritzker Pavillion, on Saturday afternoons.

There are a lot of random people just milling around the park…, sitting on the grass…, enjoying the day…, and hoping like hell the dude onstage with the mic doesn’t start swearing in front of their kids.

Good Times.

Track #4
Make it Happen by Radiohiro And MC ZULU
dimmsummer presents: SUBcontinentalBASS by highchai

That is by far the wordiest song I think I have ever written. It really makes me happy tho, to see how many people like it. I owe it to you guys for putting it in the Beatport top 30. It’s in the breaks category, but hell.. That’s the breaks.. Right? (bad joke)

It has also come to my attention that what I wrote as a quasi-political anthem,
… is commonly mistaken for a sexual declaration.

Well, raise your glasses to subjective interpretation.

Before we go… Let me also highlight what I see as the BEST SONG on this album
Track #6 Check the VIBES of the one Delhi Sulthanate!

DimSummer, Radiohiro & MC ZULU In Beatport Top 50

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

From DimSummer’s massive “Sub Continental Bass” album comes my first recognition on a “Breaks” chart. As much as I am a proponent of mixing the vibes with all dance-related music, I never thought the breaks category would show any recognition. Who knew? Well we debuted at #45 Breaks and peaked at #30.

FACT: Between the late Bronze & Iron Ages (1500-1000 BCE) ancient Sanskrit texts “not of human agency” detailed great aerial battles between the Gods using other-worldly vehicles and weapons on the sub-continent of India. These aerial ships were called Vimanas.

VIMANA: “…a chariot of the gods, any mythical self-moving aerial car (sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes selfmoving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high.”

MC ZULU Live On National Public Radio

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

I could go on and on about this. I have been a longtime listener to WBEZ (91.5 FM) in Chicago. That is our Public Radio outlet, and one of the only stations where you will hear the best Jazz, Blues and world news, depending on when you tune in.

WBEZ’s morning drive show is Eight Forty Eight, and the host is the lovely Alison Cuddy. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find out that she was a fan of mine. When I was finishing up the spring tour in Zurich, I got an e-mail that they wanted me to appear, pretty much as soon as I got back. Well to me that amounts to a great reception, and I am most thankful.

I managed to work in music from each of my Chicago area producer /collaborators, The Drastics, DJ C, Jeekoos, Radiohiro, Chrissy Murderbot and DJ Searchl1te who got the setlist together at the last minute for us. Large Up the Chicago Massive And Crew.

TICKETS for RESONATE available now at www.resonatechicago.net

All profits from this all tribe event go back to our community and are administered thru
the Chicago steeringman committee. All budget and expense info are reported
transparently to the community (i.e. you) thru the Burning Man-Chicago regional mailing
list.

Resonate is a leave no trace event

What can I do to LEAVE NO TRACE at Resonate, you ask?

For starters…

1. BYO CUP – NO BOTTLES OR GLASS!
Refreshments will be available, but only if you bring your own cup to fill.
If you decide you want to bring something special to imbibe (cans, plastic water bottles
or flasks only), please deposit all garbage in the provided receptacles, or come prepared
to take your trash out with you just like on the playa!

2. SMOKERS:
Please BRING YOUR OWN TIN to stash your butts in – Do Not Throw Them On The Ground!

IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE:
The main stage area dubbed “The Dirt Room” has a tightly packed, dirt and gravel floor,
so please dress appropriately. Again, think of it as the playa. Perhaps wear boots -
possibly bring goggles (for fun or function) – Wear your playa best, put on your dancing
shoes, set your mind on FUN and get ready for the MOST ANTICIPATED PARTY of the season!!

Remember – RESONATE is a LEAVE NO TRACE event. Be aware and responsible… Protect your
community… Ask first…. And leave no trace.

This is an 18 and over event. This is a PRIVATE event, tickets at the door are not
guaranteed.
