Bambu is an LA rapper and organizer with a solid org and his videos are great. Also he's a Maoist and talks about organizing with gang members from his community.

I also recommend Killer Mike, Cheif Keef, Odessa Kane, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, Brother Ali, and The Coup.



I came here to rep for Bambu

Surprised you didn't link his tribute to our honorable chairman though

I also gotta mention Wasun, who is linked in my signature

"cultural works are not inherently more valuable because of their intended political message" is a contrarian opinion?

this might be your most anti-maoist position.... and i like it.

Actually,

Works of art which lack artistic quality have no force, however progressive they are politically. Therefore, we oppose both the tendency to produce works of art with a wrong political viewpoint and the tendency towards the "poster and slogan style" which is correct in political viewpoint but lacking in artistic power. On questions of literature and art we must carry on a struggle on two fronts.



so... what I'm getting from this is you don't like hip hop and are using a Mao quote telling us to put every effort to make quality, relateable agitprop to justify your personal tastes...classy

Marx and engels both revered the reactionary monarchist balzac over any of the didactic and polemical "social problem" novelists that shared their political sympathies. marx chastised any author that would reduce an individual to merely the spirit of their age. engels explicitly stated that "the more the opinions of the author remain hidden, the better for the work of art"

just something 2 think about before elevating an artist's expressed political opinion as a primary arbiter of value or whatever
