there is a contradiction here:
Some people are saying mcdonalds soul is not soul music because it isn't sincerely emotional or whatever. On the contrary I am saying it is. I am saying that capitalism wants to think we're human outside of its mechanisms, that it hasn't subjected everything to quantification. this is how it perpetuates ideologies left and right wing. Politics becomes a modulation that can be abandoned at will or when convenient.
It is not soul in the afro-american sense, but neither do the infrastructures existing in the black communities in the united states exist in the same way in the 21st century.
Jill Scott is correctly called neo-soul (in a rhythm and blues continuum.) I am not here to discuss her merits or demerits here. FTR I find her nice to listen to. sometimes it works sometimes bit boring. simple. like some broken beat and kirk degiorgio. not music for all occasions because of its backwards tinted purism but I can dig it. nothing more left to say.
And this is where my gripe with a lot of metal comes in. It's a soulful anger that capitalism modulates. I am human, please appreciate my dexterity and technical prowess. When my mum says this shit you listen to all sounds the same and is made by machines, that's fucking fantastic, that's exactly what I want her to say. I'm not interested in people who have a righteous anger and work for justice and a contemptible cause, I'm interested in killing machines raised on a diet of bizzy B. this is the only way the revolution will succeed.
Communists have no constitutions to propose, they only have those which must be destroyed!
This is the most humanizing of third's cries to arms yet. Every aspect of this essentially implies he'd wear a beret, but never does he feel like he's talking down to you.
