Chris Bee Ft. Petronia – Bashee(Prod by Kona)

when your intention is to try to stay above all of the politics and the bullshit so you can, you know, do good things, some people will go out of their way to hem you up or start a conflict for the flimsiest reasons. Why do they do this? I really wish I knew. Maybe it's for attention, maybe it's to attract attention away from them, maybe they just don't like the person in question and decide to either nitpick or flat-out manufacture a furor in hopes that the community will collectively decide that this person needs to go...it's shitty, it's wrong, and it happens all of the time. No one talks about it because no one wants it to happen to them, but infighting and politicking are probably the biggest enemies the radical community has to face and the tendency is to totally sidestep that issue by focusing on the cops or whatever evil corporation happens to be in vogue this week. COINTELPRO knew how to exploit this aspect of human nature and used it to break up the Panthers...and yet we don't seem to be able to remember what "solidarity" actually means, even though we like to talk about it a lot.
