Sorrow Tears & Blood c/o Fela Kuti
Person A:
That’s a good reference point too.. You had Maya Angelou in Ghana as an activist and artist, and the highlight of her decade was her time with Malcolm
Person B:
60s man, niggas back in the fits but not really with the shits yet
Where the Malcolms
Person A
Where?!
We (think we) got too much to lose.. As Fela said, ‘I want enjoy, I no wa go’
Person B:
Hmm it’s wild, I need to tap in with Fela
I feel like he’s back in the zeitgeist but idk if folks really hearing him like that
Person A:
Right, the culture appropriates worse than the vultures sometimes.. I feel good about an awakening coming tho, they got us fucked up right now
Person B:
That’s a bar. A sad unfortunate bar.
I too feel good about the awakening underway
Gonna do my part to agitate it
Person A:
!!
Disturb the already disturbed peace
