"kill the cop in your thoughts" someones been reading baba ervin lol shoutout to the elder

what book is it from?

not sure if the phrase itself is older, but this is where i got familiar with it from theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lorenzo-kom-boa-ervin-authoritarian-leftists

just out of curioustiy

how do you come across these texts like are you in academia or is it just reading out of interest ?

personal interest. personal/enviornmental experiences and 2pac were my gateway to radical politics starting 4rm when i was like 12.

Does anyone know any good essays on policing? Not in just the state enforced way but also in ways people enforce it on each other and how the abolition movement critics it.

I think I’d be content to call this my fav AH

@DwindlingSun

Im more confused after reading this explanintion than before. Someone put it into bit more digestable way

Seems like every lyric googled points to Armand Hammer instead of the actual reference smh

any word on a vinyl release?

This didn't really do much to sway me towards the wronged lover a***ysis. When you interpret it that way, there are lines that simply don't make sense. Which I think this writer must have realised to some extent given that he skipped over half the verse in discussing it.

For example, 'it's only so many ways you can say grace' doesn't really make any sense in that context. 'Marginalia, busy with symbols and equations, the story too simple to calculate it, payment post dated' too.

Also, there's just some fundamental misreadings present. For instance, he writes that woods is the one saving face, but its clearly the 'she' doing that action.

I still think it is about woods' mother and the immediate aftermath of his father's death. I'll reply to this with my a***ysis again, line by line, with a bit more depth.

I'm excited to see if this lyric booklet gives more clarity. If it doesn't, I'm somewhat tempted to email and just ask woods directly.

woods has replied to me alot on twitter, especially if it regarding lyrics. If you want to I can get the lyrics confirmed, just send me the question you want answered.

Also I felt the article was all over the place and had made some misreading.

Very excited to read your a***ysis, cause I love when you breakdown verses!

Much appreciated, may well do that

A***ysis incoming below

for some reason cant like the comment, so typing it out

Waves, water blend, rhyme flow in slow motion
Thick snare, I'm feelin' like a snail in the ocean

• Raekwon

It's ill, but you're like krill in that cold deep
Alcohol seep out the pores like gills

• billy woods

Armed and dangerous
Ain't too many can bang with us
Straight up weed, no angel dust

• Biggie

Dreams is dangerous, linger like angel dust
Ain't no angels hovering, ain't no savin' us
Ain't no slaving us, you gon' need a bigger boat

Is it performative or is it practice?

Praxis is the blending of theory and practice and can also be understood as the process by which theory is embodied and enacted. For education, praxis is theoretically grounded actions evidenced in learning environments of all types.

In the philosophy of language and speech acts theory, performative utterances are sentences which not only describe a given reality, but also change the social reality they are describe.'Performative language' considers issues concerning the meaning and effects of language, identity and the nature of the subject. Performative utterances do not describe but perform the action they designate.

Billy follows this up to make joke about the practice moment that is very famous. That is he moves from a complex idea to a simple one so that He dont alienate people.

What i have been thinking about is that, is just talkig. About our politics enough or do we have to do praxis.

What are tour thoughts on this line?
