The original beat for this song, "Mo Money, Mo Murder" is definitely one of my favorite songs from the 90s.  This beat randomly came on yesterday and I knew I had to make a song about the S&amp;P downgrade to it.  I do my best to try to infuse the ideas of zizek into this song, discussing everything from bankrupt states, ideology, hip-hop, god's wrath, and the economy.  This track will end up on Nuclear Winter 3, which will most likely be 90's themed.

"Living In The End Times" is the title of Slavoj Zizek's most recent book, where he compares the economic crisis with Christian Armageddon.  The book takes a look at modern capitalism, ecology, global warming, and the political sphere and offers many original insights and a few prescripitions.  On this track I take it a step further to also include Beaudrillard's take on "Living in the end times," to conclude that the world ended when media &amp; capital began taking on a life of their own, and we are literally, currently, living out a kind of post human armageddon.  When the recent debate about the debt ceiling was unfolding, I thought about Zizek's take on how events are shaped by abstract factors. I knew that the fact that this debate was happening at all would do untold damage to our economy.  Low and behold S&amp;P downgraded us, so the downward spiral continues and Jayz/Kanye drop "Watch The Throne."  Even though Zizek didn't actually collaborate with me, I thought I'd take a cue from Jay &amp; Yeezy and Otis Redding that shit.
 

"Living In The End Times" w/ Slavoj Zizek

LYRICS
Wouldn't be the first time
That I made a promise to myself
That I'd get everything I wanted out of life
Wouldn't be the first time
Wouldn't be the first time
Wouldn't be the first time no no

I saw your soul flicker
Through the 3rd dimension
Burned away my ego
Had to learn da lesson
All the man made religions
Full of imperfections
Time to elevate our faith
To where the world is heading
Pray us humans turn to heaven
Instead of Armageddon
Try to be a calmer person
What my karma give me
For our minds become metallic
Hearts a mechanism
Why I'm staying unaffected
By your pessimism
I ain't one to stay possessed
This my exorcism
Free my soul
You feel my spirit when I bless the rhythm
Sent my message through the beat
Just like it's Morse code
Just a way for me to feed my thoughts to your soul
Why we sitting on this rock in the universe
Talking bout the things we live for n die for
Call it god call it love what do you prefer
Just that feeling
That we praying to the sky for

I know that it's now or it's never
No clouding my weather
Done doubted it forever
Grew outta the town
But I founded the power to rise up
Boy how does it sound
I light up the room when I walk in
Oh you the one talking
You must've forgotten
I been in it ten years deep
But I been low key
I'm the king don't sleep
What more can I say kid I done it all
Gave my soul before I ever heard the money call
This year I probably make another hundred songs
Another winter another spring another summer fall
I ain't never took a handout from none of y'all
Couldn't see the truth was standing right in front of y'all
Took a swing I brought em home
Off a knuckleball
Fuck em all let em hate me like the son of the god

LYRICS

"World between us split the difference
Oh I’m a dreamer I’m a misfit I’m just drifting
Times I feel like what’s the difference
I’m too numb to find the source of my existence
Leaving town I think about when times was different
Travel heal me chasing clouds is my religion
I don’t listen no I don’t feel it
I’m a dreamer I’m a drifter I’m just different

Still old school smoke a cig on the porch
Nike flip flops and some basketball shorts 
4 fingers down leave one for the courts
Been on the come up but still coming up short
Time running out pulling up in the 4th
Moving down to Oakland maybe New York
Still got love for the fam up north
Stupid motherfuckers tried to run me off course
Try to keep my family rich
Boy I spent a lotta cash
Why next shot I'm banking on this
Going off the glass 
Heart of a champion traveling
Through my rocky past 
Still got questions but no time to stop and ask
Same old same old
Rainy days could cloud yo vision
But right now I'm way too lit
to question how I'm living 
So mind yo business oh I’m just tripping
I’m a drifter double down on my decisions

Time reveal me timeless wisdom
I’m a dreamer I’m a misfit I been drifting
World is changing what’s the difference
I’m too numb to find the source of my existence
I’m a genius I’m a misfit
I’m a dreamer I’m a drifter I’m just different
I can’t function off my prescription
Even with it still I feel like somethings missing
Leaving town I think about when times was different
Travel heal me chasing clouds is my religion
I don’t listen nope I don’t feel it
I’m a dreamer I’m a drifter I’m just different

I don’t wanna follow down the
Path you laid
Cus the road too narrow
Sitting with an old friend
Reading my tarot
Came from the sun god
Mother of the pharaoh
Tell me why a white face placed in the manger
Didn’t Jesús say to love thy neighbor
White soldier
Brown terrorist
Trump hate Mexico
God ain’t American
Arrogance annoy me
Ignorance amaze me
Nation of Christians
Who justified slavery
-I ain’t really tapped in to that trap shit
Your stupid ass been talking bout lately
-Make you think when you don’t wanna
-Her body like a drink in the cold summer
The world ain’t ready yet maybe one day  when I’m dead and I’m gone they gon get it then

World between us split the difference
I’m a dreamer I’m a misfit I’m just drifting
Times I feel like what’s the difference
I’m too numb to find the source of my existence
Leaving town I think about when times was different
Travel heal me chasing clouds is my religion
I don’t listen if I can’t feel it
I’m a dreamer I’m a drifter I’m just different"

KnowMads - Drifter

“Young sole” is the lead single from sole’s upcoming release, A Ruthless Criticism Of Everything Existing. Produced by Canadian super producer Factor, “Young Sole” is a shit talking summer anthem that lays the sonic and ideological foundation for the album. “Enough with the fucking fashion show, say something real... life is too short to kiss rings,” and “10,000 years from now they’re gonna dig us up, and say no wonder these cats went extinct” sums up sole to a T. The world is still on fire, the fire is spreading, and sole is bringing the kerosene.

Although sole has been railing against everything anti-human for over a decade, his anti-capitalist, anarchistic worldview has been emboldened by his involvement with the occupy movement. A Ruthless Criticism Of Everything Existing, is the title of a Marx Essay, stressing that the critique needed to extend beyond the economy, to the roots of ideology itself and beyond. A.R.C.O.E.E. takes that discussion to heart.

It is sole’s first solo album since “Live From Rome” was released almost 7 years ago. After the critical success of “Hello Cruel World,” and the Nuclear Winter series, sole has honed his song writing to strike the perfect balance between social commentary, humor, and far-left-rap anthems. In 2010 sole left the anticon label he founded in 1998, citing “ideological business differences.” Since then, he has re-released his music on his black canyon label and played a central role with the new indie music powerhouse Fake Four Inc. A.R.C.O.E.E. continues to push the mainstream rap aesthetic into more uncharted, unpredictable, & unconventional territory.
