J.Cole Leads Slave Rebellion In Video For G.O.M.D

 

Watch G.O.M.D click here
    The video for G.O.M.D from J.Cole directed by Lawrence Lamont is an antebellum styled slave narrative. There are many period pieces centered around the typical slave narrative, none like this. It shows J.Cole as a house slave who takes advantage of an opportunity, he arms the field slaves and takes over the plantation, at some point you think someone would write a movie were the slave leads an uprising and takes over. A reality to the times, albeit rare, but there are very few narratives to portray those aspects which is important, because if you believe hollywood you would think everyone owned slaves,but facts show it was less than 3% of the entire population.
   You wouldn't think that a rap video could so tastefully portray these types of events; with all that is transpiring in this United States this seems to be done at just the right time.  It also shows the dynamics of relations between black and white people, without help from one lady in the video it could have gone terribly wrong.

The Dichotomy of OG Maco

OG MACO Breath mixtape download



Lyrics from Riot

"Underfunded treated like a fungus
They call us niggas, take our culture from us
Gotta deal with Iggys and the Macklemores
Black girls was twerkin', they was screamin', "whores"
But Miley did it and she got a tour"(lyrics from genius.com)

    You may know OG Maco from his smash hit "You Guessed it" , but if you haven't ventured on from his singles you might not know he is one of the most talented young artist coming out of Atlanta. Again if you only judge him by his radio singles you wouldn't appreciate the diversity. His mixtape entitled "Breath" was a critical look at the status of Black America at the time(December 2014 Mike Brown,Tamir Rice,Etc). I know what you think, how can OG Maco have a valid opinion on something that weighs so heavily, I would ask how could he not. As someone who has lost close ones to violence , growing up on the Southside of Atlanta, and essentially "Trappin' for tuition", how could he not feel the tension when young black men that look just like him are subjected to harassment and arrest. I encourage you to download the mixtape, it's only 3 tracks.



Lyrics from Get Down


Marijuana illegal but Newports'll make you die
Welcome to Scamerica, all you need is a tie
Why does bein' whatever whatever just sound like a lie?
Why our country so opposed to tyrants, the biggest one?
Why we scream peace so much but we carry the biggest gun?
Took a second for introspection and seen the lives we neglected
No change for starvin' kids but spend 20 racks on a necklace
And Muslim/Catholic protestors spend most of their time protestin'
    I will be the first to admit I only listened to OG Maco for amusement , but I had my eyes open. He is someone that is lyrical, conscious, and extremely secular he just happens to be hood. If you listened to his different mixtapes you can clearly see he listened to Dungeon Family growing up and others as well, he has his own style and sound. Salute to OG Maco, we also have the link to his new mixtape Tax Free Ep
