BREAK UP THE BOYS CLUB OR INVITE NEW MEMBERS

August 10, 2023

I.KHALED’S NEW SINGLE

youtube

Khaled just announced a new single for his yet to be titled LP, titled “Supposed to Be Loved”. I like DJ Khaled and respect his legacy as a DJ and an artist. Each release is actually something I looked forward to. When the single was announced I looked at the lineup and lord behold it was the usual suspects; Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert. My honest initial reaction was just a big sigh.

This Khaled single was the straw that broke the camel back, I’m tired of seeing the same people work together man. I understand people are playing the game at a higher level at this point and Khaled releases are basically music blockbusters but can the art take a little more priority? I feel like Khaled can get more interesting albums if he tap into his actual skill of A&Ring and put together unexpected combinations that would sound fire.

Besides the commercial aspect, I understand he may be sticking with the same people because the relationships developed over the years makes getting verses/hooks extremely easier. Everybody know how its like pulling teeth getting verses back sometimes.

As I stated Khaled was the straw that broke the back but this annoyance really started with my guy Metro.

II.METRO’S SELECTED FEW

Now I love Metro, I told him he was the best producer in the game back in 2014! Real deal supporter. I also think his new album is incredible but the only downside was it was the same people on every song. I think Metro talent and star power is strong enough to collaborate with anyone in the world, I mean anyone! Now I understand each of his album were following specific themes and everyone was probably hand picked to fill a certain role but I done heard Metro with these people a billion times!

I like when he collabed with James Blake and even the Coi Leray linkup on the Spiderverse soundtrack. I want Metro to get deep into his producer bag and introduce us to some new voices or get with some active people we never seen him work with. But the Travis Scott, 21 vibes I think we done had enough for a min. I’m not including Future because him and Metro is an unbeatable combo and we are actually overdue for a new project from them + the superhero song was wayy too good, we need more of that ASAP!

All in all its like there is a boys club of 21, travis, future, thug, migos, drizzy, uzi,swae,nav,don, and weeknd. I want to see and hear some great suprises. I wanna see random stuff like DVSN and metro or like Monica on a Khaled song, or Wu tang on some Metro beats. You know just something unexpected. If Metro can get Morgan Freeman he can definitely expand his reach and if Khaled can consistently get HOV verses it ain’t no problem for him to get people either. Its time to dial back the priority of blockbuster music and increase the priority of great/groundbreaking collaborations!

Leila Khaled: Hijacker (2006, Lina Makboul)

-Could you be described as a terrorist? -Our enemies say so. Our enemies call any form of popular resistance terrorism. Who decides and defines what terrorism is? As far as l'm concerned, occupation is terrorism. My people and l have a right to fight it. l don't care what others call it. People have a right to fight those who occupy their country by all means possible, including weapons. That's what it says in the UN declaration. But Leila, if you look up ''terrorist'' in a dictionary?

You, the whole of Sweden and Europe and the USA can travel to Haifa. But l can't, I'm not allowed to. Not just me. 5 million Palestinians can't see Palestine. lsrael doesn't care about international law. Why should we accept that?

How the Watermelon Became a Symbol of Palestinian Solidarity

The use of the watermelon as a Palestinian symbol is not new. It first emerged after the Six-day War in 1967, when Israel seized control of the West Bank and Gaza, and annexed East Jerusalem. At the time, the Israeli government made public displays of the Palestinian flag a criminal offense in Gaza and the West Bank.

To circumvent the ban, Palestinians began using the watermelon because, when cut open, the fruit bears the national colors of the Palestinian flag—red, black, white, and green.

The Israeli government didn't just crack down on the flag. Artist Sliman Mansour told The National in 2021 that Israeli officials in 1980 shut down an exhibition at 79 Gallery in Ramallah featuring his work and others, including Nabil Anani and Issam Badrl. “They told us that painting the Palestinian flag was forbidden, but also the colors were forbidden. So Issam said, ‘What if I were to make a flower of red, green, black and white?’, to which the officer replied angrily, ‘It will be confiscated. Even if you paint a watermelon, it will be confiscated,’” Mansour told the outlet.

Israel lifted the ban on the Palestinian flag in 1993, as part of the Oslo Accords, which entailed mutual recognition by Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization and were the first formal agreements to try to resolve the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The flag was accepted as representing the Palestinian Authority, which would administer Gaza and the West Bank.

In the wake of the accords, the New York Times nodded to the role of watermelon as a stand-in symbol during the flag ban. “In the Gaza Strip, where young men were once arrested for carrying sliced watermelons—thus displaying the red, black and green Palestinian colors—soldiers stand by, blasé, as processions march by waving the once-banned flag,” wrote Times journalist John Kifner.

In 2007, just after the Second Intifada, artist Khaled Hourani created The Story of the Watermelon for a book entitled Subjective Atlas of Palestine. In 2013, he isolated one print and named it The Colours of the Palestinian Flag, which has since been seen by people across the globe.

The use of the watermelon as a symbol resurged in 2021, following an Israeli court ruling that Palestinian families based in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem would be evicted from their homes to make way for settlers.

The watermelon symbol today:

In January, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir gave police the power to confiscate Palestinian flags. This was later followed by a June vote on a bill to ban people from displaying the flag at state-funded institutions, including universities. (The bill passed preliminary approval but the government later collapsed.)

In June, Zazim, an Arab-Israeli community organization, launched a campaign to protest against the ensuing arrests and confiscation of flags. Images of watermelons were plastered on to 16 taxis operating in Tel Aviv, with the accompanying text reading, “This is not a Palestinian flag.”

“Our message to the government is clear: we will always find a way to circumvent any absurd ban and we will not stop fighting for freedom of expression and democracy,” said Zazim director Raluca Ganea.

Amal Saad, a Palestinian from Haifa who worked on the Zazim campaign, told Al-Jazeera they had a clear message: “If you want to stop us, we’ll find another way to express ourselves.”
