Name: Mii Maker Type Beat, pt. 2 by Kaseboy Advance Beats
Duration: 2 min 41 s
Description: A sequel to Mii Maker Type Beat, a song I made back in 2022. I like sequel beats. Its fun to channel similar energy from similar samples. Although, Mii Maker 1 is a hip-house/kaytranada kinda joint, and this is straight boom-bap.

"Feed the world." "We are the world." "Be a light to the world." Every few years, it seems, a new celebrity benefit appears. Chock full of A-listers and inspirational tag lines, it promises to tackle any number of the world’s large-scale problems, whether poverty, climate change, or disease prevention and eradication.

From Live Aid in the 1980s to Bono’s ONE Campaign of the early 2000s to the latest Global Citizen concerts, televised celebrity charity events, and their many associated NGOs, have enjoyed glowing media attention and a reputation as generally benign, even beloved, pieces of pop culture history. But behind the claims to end the world’s ills lies a cynical network of funding and influence from predatory financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, multinationals like Coca-Cola and Cargill, soft-power organs like USAID, and private “philanthropic” arms like the Gates Foundation.

This arrangement reached its high point at the turn of the 21st century and continues today, largely in response to outrage from anti-Pharma and anti-poverty activists from the global south and anti-globalization protesters in the 1990s. This Bono-Bill Gates-World Bank model has gained virtually unchallenged media coverage as the new face of slick, NGO "activism," in opposition to the unwieldy, anarchist-y and genuinely grassroots nature of the opposition it faced on America’s television screens each time there was a G7 or WTO meeting.

While this celebrity-NGO complex purports to reduce suffering in the Global South - almost always a monolithic and mysterious place called "Africa," to be more specific - suffering on a grand scale never meaningfully decreases. Rather, it adheres to a vague “We Must Do Something” form of liberal politics, identifying no perpetrators of or reasons for the world’s ills other than an abstract sense of corruption or "inaction."

Meanwhile, powerful Western interests, intellectual property regimes and corporate money - the primary drivers of global poverty - are not only ignored, but held up as the solution to the very problems they perpetuate.

On this episode, we study the advent of the celebrity benefit and the attendant Bono-Bill Gates-Global Citizen model of "activism," examining the dangers inherent in this approach and asking why the media aren't more skeptical of these high-profile PR events that loudly announce, with bleeding hearts the existence of billions of victims but are, mysteriously, unable to name a single victimizer.

Our guests are economic anthropologist Jason Hickel and Health Action International's Jaume Vidal.

Episode 146: Bill Gates, Bono and the Limits of World Bank and IMF-Approved Celebrity 'Activism'

In this New Brief, we discuss the Winter of Labor Discipline and why holding the line against teachers unions is essential to establishing the "new normal" of working while sick with COVID for American workers.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
First rule of damage control is to get ahead
So cut the neck of my enemies, take their daughters to bed
Piss on their dead bodies
Say fuck you to everybody
Then afterwards take a selfie and send the pics to the press
I will never ever change, never pray to the altar/alter
Leave you in a blaze, Pay respects to the coffers/coughers
Keeping the piece/peace Rearranged/rear ranged, reupholstered
So always keep you guessing when and where are the shots from
Play possum, cuz all you deadbeats 
Are fossils, Stop acting so testy
No ballers, missing shots from out ten feet
Not a number on the board, not a made for a spreadsheet
Testing, testing, check one two 
Invest like a play that I kept close to
Reject me away ‘till the checks come through
So interesting/into resting, you slept on the next man through

[Hook]
I lost my mind
But I found my soul
Now I spend my time
In damage control
Been falling behind
Where I wanna go
Living my life
In damage control

[Verse 2]
Now back to the verse
Rule one was be first
The second rule in damage control is to be rehearsed
Prepare for surprises
In all its disguises
Look straight in its eyes and say give me your worst
Cuz it’s dog eat dog and no barking
You been caught sleepwalking too often
Turning concrete walls into coffins
And all your bodyguards done reversed into wardens
Never clocked in, yet always punched out
Everybody got plans ‘til the plans go south
Thought you was ahead then I showed you routs/routes
Where you got knocked in the head then socked in the mouth
Yea, I’m talking bouts
Not a talking head
Only left the house
When the town was red
And we circle round to the final leg
The Last Rule: leave nothing unsaid

[Hook]
I lost my mind
But I found my soul
Now I spend my time
In damage control
Been falling behind
Where I wanna go
Living my life
In damage control

Subject: Getting Older

Lyrics:

Puff puff pass
Touch my ass 
Talking to my girl
Tell her scratch my back

Hiroshima exposing fair skinned loners 
Eloping find itself alone multi color begonias
Serve as color wheel Once unknown
Now a Pallette be my language I’m talking to ghosts 

Sheets all ruined I’m strewn in drapery - cutting two holes 
Boo bitch!
You can hate me 
If you wanna
I betcha don’t tho! 
known me so long I be THE cut throat

If I gotta make it simple 
The compensation will ripple 
And bleed into votes that I need as I’m old 
please dont go  
I really need Mother Nature to make up with SOME Father Time 
this getting old shit drawing nearer to a bottom line
signed, 

Your boy Aeons

Reddit MHH Cypher 8 (2021) - Theme: "Getting Older"
Beat: @kaseboy-advance-beats - Up All Night

I grew up way too fast
Now my mind's caught up with my body at last
Where'd the years go? 
Beard growth wild these days playing havoc with the mask
Used to have a sippy cup now I'm on the flask

Used to be a grape now I've shrivelled to a raisin
Teeth are in a state and my brain's gone vacant
The verse that I write will soon be words from the ancients
Should have given up, but I carried on blazing

Now I'm waiting for whatever's coming next
My daughter's growing up and she's the best
These test that we go through will leave us feeling blessed
Well it's that, or they'll feed us to the demons we possess

Years and years of stress will see you wrecked at the roadside
I need a new prescription, my eyes are going so blind
I don't even know where the time went, oh my
I'm looking at the cliff's edge and man, it seems so high

Woah
It's a long way down
Careful where you're stepping you ain't on reins now
and still I'm just chasing that crown
Racing around instead of taking it in and embracing the sound
