This news is a few weeks old now, but still interesting nonetheless. I wonder what it is.

Clip: Rap News 6 - Wikileaks' Cablegate: the truth is out there

New episode already! These guys are becoming prolific.

There's layers upon layers upon layers of shaky political issues on a global scale going on in the world right now that it makes your head spin. But rap news is amazingly refreshing. I love the 'bigger picture' focus of these. I watched this a few times just to digest all of the content. This is some seriously inspired work. Very exciting project.



Already looking forward to the next one!

Unplug the Signal: The Truth Will Not Be Televised

Do you watch a lot of TV?
Have you ever thought 'Wow, TV could be a LOT better if they tried'?
Have you ever absent-mindedly sat down in front of a TV and stayed put for longer periods of time, without talking, doing, or thinking anything?
I think we ALL have at least once in our lives (if not hundreds or thousands of times).
This can be regarded as a hypnotic state.
Have you thought about how that affects your unconscious mind?
If not, then for your own greater good, read on...



A flow of information is constantly streaming from the television set; a bombardment of words and pictures. The speed at which this information is communicated makes it easy for the signal to take control, switching the viewer's brain to stand-by as information is absorbed without analysis or question. Today the television's constant signal shapes the conclusions of the masses and produces the collective norm. The signal prescribes what is news and what is truth through the words of so-called experts and authorities, gelding the consciousness and independent thoughts of those subjected to it. Through television, the masses can be made to accept the most monstrous distortions of reality. The signal is a chill wind of continuous oppression over the minds of the masses. It controls the management of society and culture, creating uniformity across all subjects.

Fuck Today/Tonight, A Current Affair (full of advertising and stories about morons, made by morons), fuck Neighbours (life depicted as dramatically trivial), fuck the 6 o'clock news (90%+ negative stories), fuck 20 to 1 (advertising/hype), fuck NCIS and Law & Order (stories about authorities taking down the baddies), fuck MTV (facilitating the DEvolving of its viewers with its focus placed in trivial areas with shows about cheating spouses, how 'cool' it is to own lots of expensive 'stuff', music with no artistic merit, gossiping about people, forcing self-identity, and HEAPS of other garbage shows with seriously DUMB choices of focus), fuck Criminal Minds (self-explanatory), fuck Australian idol (slowly turning music performance into a compact little package of cliche), fuck all of the shitty television and their influence on young people, stupid people and our culture in general. These shows taint humanity's collective conscious, whether we realise it or not, and we are better off unplugging the TV and using the time to do something of higher purpose.

Vent over. :) Phew.

Clip: Rap News

I'm not usually a huge fan of rap, but this is one definite exception.

Juice Media's Rap News (an Aussie independent media source co-created by Jordan Ninni and Melbourne-based rapper Hugo Farrant) takes a broad "bigger picture" view of the major issues of the world, turns it into a clever rhyme, applies a head-nodding beat, laces it with comedy, and provides a thought-provoking medium of political awareness.

It's truly refreshing to have a conscious rapper rising into the music scene, and i hope they make an impact. The thought and creativity that has gone into these is excellent, and i really believe in what they're doing.

There have been 3 episodes so far. Enjoy...

Episode 2:


Episode 3:


I look forward to the next episode.
