Russell Brand was on Sway the other day and just started dropping knowledge on EVERYBODY. Friends and allies should take note…. Here’s one of our favorite quotes.
“Hasn’t that always been the way with mainstream culture? Whether it’s the blues or rock n’ roll [or hip hop]. The re-appropriation of black culture into the mainstream? That’s always been the way. It becomes sanitized. It loses its original message without ever conceding any rights to non-white people. Take the best bits. Keep the fruit. And abandon the people.”
