Ain’t no such thing as “Just Music.”
Music is one of the most powerful cultural, economic, & political forces that humans have invented.
Every single significant Historical Epoch, Ideological Framework, & Mass Movement is inspired, spread, advanced, & sustained by Music!
Both Oppressive & Liberation ideologies have their own musical genres & catalogs.
There is Imperialist Music, Nazi Music, Colonizer Music, Capitalist Music, Christian Music, Fascist Music, White Supremacy Music.
There is Black Power Music, Decolonization Music, Pan-African, Civil Rights Music, Socialist Music, Women’s Liberation Music.
All Music is advocating for or representing a World View & Social Theory, especially the Music that presents itself as apolitical or Pop Music.
So if you believe that Music is Just Music & a Song is Just a Song you are politically & historically illiterate, & you need to Cultivate your critical thinking & media analysis skills.
Building on this understanding, the Black Community must come to terms with the fact that the most popular & successful Black performers & Music are what Del Jones termed “Anti-African Propaganda.” They are subversive to the interest & advancement of the Black Community.
Please make a conscious effort to produce, promote, & elevate Revolutionary, Pan-African Music & Artist.
