SAAAVE Us, Badmon!!

I’d like to take you wonderful people back to a particular photograph from circa 2015--- you know back when we had an educated, distinguished, respectable President.  But even an educated distinguished, respectable President can have complications--- like teenage daughters.
I was reading an old article today about how President Obama’s daughter Malia was wearing the shirt of the “dangerous criminal organization Pro.Era.”  …No kidding: a bunch of guys you might see in a high school hallway between 6^th and 7^th period, or beat-boxing on a table in the school cafeteria.  They were referred to as a dangerous criminal organization, as if they burned crossed or lynched people >:-\

Well, in these clueless individuals’ defense, Joey and Pro.Era did kinda portray themselves as… a bit of a small uprising in progress.  In a work of fiction, that is.  Circa the time that the picture of Malia was released, Joey was calling himself “Badmon” --- a creatively re-imagined superhero version of himself in rebellion against a fascist Establishment.   It was all a part of his project at the time, B4.DA.$$, which included the video for the single No. 99.

…Fast-forward to 2017.  Now, a dangerous criminal organization is inside the White House.  However, unlike the rap conglomerate Pro.Era, these criminals actually endanger the lives of countless people across the globe and are up to their turkey necks in lawsuits.  …We’d be lucky if all Trump and his lackeys did was smoke a little weed and kick dope rhymes over nice instrumentals.

Anyway, I was shocked to discover that Joey Bada$$ has now released a song addressing the state of our Union.  A special shout out to one of my brothers in keeping the lamps lit, Shaquille Wheeler,  who put me onto the single Land of the Free.  After hearing this courageous cut that strikes at America’s exposed, irregular heartbeat, it’s almost like Badmon… *takes off glasses, rubs eyes, squints*…like, really exists now. Crazy, huh?

I mean, check out the lyrics to this hook:

In the land of the free, it’s for the freeloaders

Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners

Still got last names of our slave owners

…NO PUNCHES PULLED.

So, supposing that we do have ourselves a superhero on our hands---  seeing as how we’re on the brink of WWIII and all--- what more excuse do we need to kindly scream out, “HAAAAALP US, BADMON!!  THESE FOOLS TRYNA KILL US!! SAAAAVE US, BADMON!!  WE CAN’T GO BACK TO SLAVERY, BIG FELLA*, DOOOO SOMETHIN’!!

On the softer side of the end of the world, I was thinkin’ tho:  it seems like Malia Obama is trying to turn into a superhero in her own regard.  Out there protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline--- somehow, I don’t think Papa and Mama Obama told her to do that.  Good form; if being a fan of “dangerous criminal organizations” makes you stand up for the marginalized, brutalized, and exploited, then stream as much of their music as you like!
