Bambaataa’s understanding of Hip Hop circa early 80’s and Arthur Baker’s bridging from disco into techno was something new after cointellpro destroyed the Civil Rights Movement.
Bambaataa’s community power was partially enforced by a cult.
Afrika Bambaataa is a Nuwaubian. The Nuwaubian Nation was a Black separatist religion which used a void in Humanity created by inhumane treatment of black people for creating a religion built by following Malachi York. York existed for some black people with a similar hope as Israel but ended up like Epstein, and Netanyahu exist for Zionists and pedophiles..
Malachi built a compound in Georgia after the Nation of Islam, and 5 Percenters chased Malachi out of New York City because of pedophilia. Nuwaubian leader Malachi York was sentenced to 135 years in prison for charges involved pedophilia. Malachi York’s son Jacob York turned in Malachi because his dad was molesting underage females.
Malachi was arrested in Georgia near his David Koresh style compound.
Jacob York later managed Dipset, and Gucci Mane. Zulu Nation denounced Afrika Bambaataa’s pedophilia in recent years. Zulu Nation still uses the term Factology.
Problem 2:
Hip Hop has homophobic American cultural tendencies.
I knew Bambaataa was queer from conversation with promoters.
I am assuming Bambaataa’s pedophila problem stemmed from the same reason Catholic Priests’ molest…
In Hip Hop homosexuality wasn’t accepted…
Bambaataa didn’t develop healthy sexual relationships. Bambaataa’s Nuwuabian culture did allow pedophilia from access, and power. Cultural sexual repression.
What does a music journalist do with Bambaataa?
I don’t blame homosexuality. I find fault with individuals behaviours because of societal problems with sexuality.
Jerry Lee Lewis wed his 13 year old cousin. Jerry Lee Lewis was 22 years old.
Jerry Lee Lewis was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame by Hank Williams Jr. in 1986. We could travel everywhere from Ancient Greece to Ted Nugent if we want to show where pedophiles still exist in historical memory.
My first instinct is Bambaata is dead.
Bambaata can’t molest children.
I think Afrika Bambaataa should be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame if Jerry Lee Lewis is allowed.
I think it’s important is people don’t empower or enable child molestors. Pedophiles use proximity, power, and fear of retribution for illegal and immoral sexual activities. RIP Afrika Bambaataa.
I took a simple approach. I remind people of context.
During my ANONROCKNROLL radio shows, I played New Edition then Bambaataa.
The reason:
New York City music pioneer Arthur Baker produced New Edition after Bambaataa.
In proximity Bambaataa could’ve attempted molesting New Edition if Baker New Edition and Bambaataa studio sessions were scheduled near each other.
New Edition reminds us people shouldn’t empower or enable child molestors.
RIP AFRIKA BAMBAATAA aka Bambaataa is Dead
We can study the importance of his music and involvement in the Hip Hop social revolution without putting children at risk.
Bambaataa died of prostate cancer.
I wish Bambaataa didn’t engage in inappropriate behaviors. If Bambaataa just came out….. Bambaataa could’ve become an icon for the queer liberation movement and another social victory for Hip Hop.
Bambaataa probably could’ve fucked young looking men who were age of consent if that was Bambaataa’s preference.
Instead Bambaataa died of prostate cancer, and with disgrace of ruining other’s lives with pedophilia.
I think we can learn from Bambaataa. Bambaataa isn’t proximity of children. Bambaataa’s dead.
Hip Hop culture shows the importance art, music and community as a cultural outlet.
Remember New York City faced cuts in arts funding.
The South Bronx was desolate.
Bambaataa didn’t create the problems that made Malachi York powerful.
Slavery and the oppression of black people made Malachi York’s power seem as something people should support.
Writing about Bambaataa
Remember Hip Hop exists.
Remember cultural problems which existed before Hip Hop.
Look at the internal problems of Hip Hop culture.
Remember the progress Hip Hop created.
Remind everyone pedophilia is wrong. Does anyone like the idea Bambaata would’ve molested Bobby Brown or Ralph Tresevent if proximity would’ve allowed?
Queers have found acceptance in Hip Hop.
Andre 3000 solved Bambaataa’s manhood issues. Andre 3000 is straight. Andre 3000 could be accepted in 2026 regardless of sexuality. Andre 3000 didn’t molest children. Have you heard Sorry Miss Jackson?
Things brings us into a problem about writing about Kanye West. Kanye West was the first mainstream rapper who stood up for queer people.. We aren’t addressing writing about Kanye West today.
I won’t finalize my opinions about Kanye until Trump isn’t our countries’ leader. I’m waiting for Trumpism’s conclusion
Point.
Slavery and homophobia created some other problems.
Bambaataa made wrong choices because of Malachi York had power for oppressed people.
I think we can appreciate Bambaataa the same way we understand our nations founders owned slaves. We utilize the ideas and philosphy of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice. We don’t trespass on other people’s bodies.
Andre 3000 delivers everything we love about Bambaataa’s Hip Hop culture. Andre 3000 is creative. Andre 3000 unites people with peace love, unity, and having fun. Andre 3000 isn’t a pedophile.
People should play Planet Rock, Looking For The Perfect Beat, Renegades of Funk, and Jazzy Sensation.
Everyone should remember we love Andre 3000. We don’t love R. Kelly. You won’t allow R. Kelly near children. You won’t give R. Kelly a bottle of water, tickle him while introducing R. Kelly to children. Afrika Bambaataa is dead.
Hip Hop lives.
Peace. Love. Unity. Having Fun. Don’t molest children.
Gorilla Biscuits and Negative Approach playing Newport in Columbus, Ohio on a Friday Night displayed Hardcore Punk’s continued evolution as a participatory art.
Turnstile’s “Birds”metal win started a debate about where is a Hardcore song also a metal song.
Gorilla Biscuits, and Negative Approach won’t answer this question.
Figure It Out
Both pioneering bands would answer why Turnstile’s Hardcore culture is both critically acclaimed, and loved by people who mosh.
Negative Approach is a legendary Hardcore band from Detroit formed in 1981.
Negative Approach were a bridge between The Stooges, Hardcore, and Steve Albini.
In 2026, Negative Approach took the Newport Stage filled people of all ages and backgrounds.
Everyone looked punk in various years, and clothing styles.
Negative Approach blistered into Hypocrite denouncing those imposing 80’s conservative conformity.
We were at a Punk Show.
“Hypocrite” was released by Touch N Go Records in 1983.
Touch N Go is a Chicago label which took Hardcore from Negative Approach into 90’s noise and alternative Rock N Roll bands like Big Black, and Girls Against Boys into 2000’s TV on The Radio.
Post-Rock band Slint, and Various Steve Albini bands are a logical conclusion of Negative Approach’s style of working man’s artistic Hardcore feeling.
I stood behind someone wearing a Crass patch.
Negative Approach’s banner had the Gorilla Biscuits Ape smiling over it.
A dozen songs in and Negative Approach were denouncing Genocide.
We were a punk show. Smart punks oppose colonialism’s mass murders.
Negative Approach are Rock N Roll Hardcore critical favorites.
Turnstile doesn’t sound like Negative Approach but Turnstile exists in the hardcore criterion critics find “cool.”
Gorilla Biscuits were next anchored by lead singer CIV.
Gorilla Biscuits are a Positive vegan essence of punk if you like Descendents’ Pervert.
CIV was really excited that Gorilla Biscuits were playing a packed room with everyone moshing in Columbus, Ohio
Civ singing 1989’s New Direction which denounces people who are attempting to exploit hardcore energized 1550 people in the Newport Music Hall.
Turnstile’s authenticity and creating a safe space of positive youth is something Turnstile cultivated from Biscuits’ influence on Hardcore Culture.
Gorilla Biscuits’ CIV is kinda like Ian Mackaye partying.
About three songs in, Civ gave a speech while introducing my favorite Gorilla Biscuits’ song in Columbus, Ohio..
Degradation.
Civ told our cities’ audience that the security was allowing moshing and stage diving.
Doctrine thus spoke Civ
:
“..Punk Rock and Hardcore music is rooted in love, togetherness, unity and family
This goes out to you..
The rest of this year, and onward.
Turn down the hate, and turn up the love.
This song is called Degradation.” – Civ, Columbus, Ohio 3-27-2026
Daniel Rachel’s This Ain’t Rock N Roll: Pop Music, The Swastika, The Third Reich released from Akashic Books intertwines Pop Music’s infatuation with Hitler, and The Swastika with the actual atrocities involved with murdering, and sexually assaulting during a genocide which killed 6, 000, 000 jewish people.
Birmingham-born Daniel Rachel is a former musician-turned-award-winning and bestselling author whose works include: Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters – a Guardian and NME Book of the Year-, Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Music & Politics of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone and Red Wedge -winner of the Penderyn Music Book prize-, Don’t Look Back in Anger: the Rise & Fall of Cool Britannia-an Evening Standard and Metro Book of the Year-, The Lost Album of The Beatles: What if the Beatles hadn’t Split Up? –Guardian Book of the Week= and Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism and the Soundtrack of a Generation (a Sunday Times, Uncut, Rough Trade US and Resident Music Book of the Year-, now widely considered the definitive history of 2 Tone.
He has served as consultant and appeared as a talking-head on several cultural documentaries, including Madness: Prince of Ska, Kings of Pop -2025-, Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story -2024- and Britpop: The Music that Changed Britain -2023-. He was guest curator of 2 Tone Lives & Legacies exhibition as part of Coventry Cultural City 2021, curated the anniversary edition of the Selecter’s debut album Too Much Pressure and written sleeve notes for Bryan Ferry, the Kinks, the Selecter, Ray Davies and Ocean Colour Scene.
Daniel’s latest book, This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll: Pop Music, the Swastika and the Third Reich was serialized on the front cover of the Times Review. Receiving rave reviews and standing room only appearances. This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll has been named a Rough Trade, Resident Music and Louder Than War book of the year and nominated for the Penderyn Music Book prize.
During the beginning of reading This Ain’t Rock N Roll, I contemplated if there is some network or secret society who rewards anyone famous that says: ‘Hitler was an exceptional entertainer. ‘
I debated if nazi’s affiliation power works because white supremacy’s strength in conformity or if a section of all intelligence agencies rewards people who like nazis.
The Hitler-CIA connection sorta infiltrated each other which did defeat nazis in Germany. Hip Hop in High School informed us CIA- Nazi’s fled to Brazil. I didn’t think about the idea of espionage. I said: “I don’t like Nazis.”
I haven’t ever found myself impressed with Adolf’s crowd rocking.. I look at some short dude yelling which involved into top awful things in Social Studies class. I don’t speak German. I assumed Hitler was yelling “kill the jews. white power.” I wasn’t impressed.
American’s Slavery of people of African descent…. America’s colonialism conquering Native Americans.. The Holocaust in Germany… We were all mortified and disgusted by heinous atrocities by nazis, and the American colonialism.
I don’t think this is white guilt. I dislike genocide and rape because I like people and women.
I don’t have any need for a swastiki. I suppose Maybach Music swazi use did seem brash and provocative.
Daniel Rachel’s This Ain’t Rock N Roll: Pop Music, The Swastika, The Third Reich focuses on Rock Stars buying actual nazi clothes.
I wondered who was introducing the WW2 nazi vintage clothes salesperson to every rock star. I’m supposing giving rock stars the option of dressing like terrible people was probably a manager or personal assistant mistake.
Drugs seem like they were being sold by people who sold nazi clothes. Is there a section of all intelligence agencies that pairs drugs with Nazis?
Nazi soldiers took speed before invading England.
I don’t think every rock star in a uniform or wears Red And Black is nazi. I will counter-argue. We can’t forfeit the colors Red + Black or military chic. Black Panthers wore military uniforms.
I won’t mention who Daniel accuses of nazism. This Ain’t Rock N Roll is appalled so many people were into arguing Hitler could rock a crowd, and were impressed they could own things owned by Nazi’s
In it’s entirety, this book reads like the Jewish Defense League, and PMRC created Ego Trip Book of Nazi Lists for the Alt-right.
IF your looking for music which Daniel Rachel doesn’t find nazi… The Specials, and Serge Gainsbourg are your options which are complete void of swastiki’s, uniforms, and the colors Red + Black.
Serge Gainsbourg released Rock Around the Bunker which explicitly denounces nazis with songs called Nazi Rock.
Rock Around the Bunker sounds like the upcoming Black Keys dive-bar decadence blues album Peaches.
Black Keys Peaches album does contain Red + Black from a Willam Eggleston Coca Cola photo. Mike Carney designed the Black Keys cover. I know Mike. Mike isn’t anti-semitic and doesn’t own any swatikas. I know Carney is appalled at the hideous torture, and sexual violence committed against Jews.
Mike did give me Joy Divisions’ Unknown Pleasure which doesn’t equate to supporting the Third Reich,
Daniel Rachel’s This Ain’t Rock N Roll does declare black-metal band Waitain aren’t nazis.
I think the most important part of This Ain’t Rock N Roll is reminding everyone that the Holocaust is one of the worst atrocities humans experienced.
6 million people were killed. 6 million people were brutally tortured. Each individual felt a tremendous amount of pain while dieing.
Daniel is good at reminding us about the individuality of every holocaust victim.
I disagree with the book’s blanket accusations of nazism against the history of music.. I find many disingenuous and irresponsible. I do agree with a basic premise: People shouldn’t celebrate a genocide.
This book is effective at reminding everyone a flaw in trolling is dehumanization. Donald Trump is President again because alt-right Trolling.
There is a debate if Slayer glorifies or simply reminds everyone of the extent of Holocaust experience. I will remind: : Rick Rubin is Jewish…
Do you think Dead City Punx’s Meth Psychosis make Meth sound appealing? Slayer’s South of Heaven didn’t make me a nazi or Satan worshiper. I promise.
South of Heaven created Public Enemy listeners. Madonna’s Justify My Love sampled Public Enemy. I think Madonna knew Louis Farrakhan existed.
Never Again to anyone.
I think the majority of jews in our country are privately aware of exact details of mass killings for each holocaust victim..
Jews for Palestine exist for a reason. Young jewish people’s families are empirical evidence of the awareness off a mass of people were placed in warehouses, raped, tortured and experimented upon.
I watch Holocaust documentarys so I don’t become insensitive towards Jewish people while denouncing the current treatment of Palestinians. I can analyze fascism’s process and remain sympathetic to this those whose relationship with Isreal is probably personal.
We must understand the extent of the holocaust for several reasons:
I live in Columbus, Ohio.
ISRAEL was an imperfect place of power for a people who are the target of demonization for political power. I won’t delve into the idea that America reason leaving England was seperation of Church + State.
Is it possible to separate celebrate Satan’s evil with an understanding the Holocaust wasn’t inflicted by a mystery demon?
We must make sure Jewish people don’t need to feel defensive.
With that caveet…
Democratic lawmakers like Maxine Waters aren’t allowed entrance into ICE Detention facilities where our tax dollars are involved with fascist human factory farming. People are being shipped into prison camps overseas.
I don’t like ICE as a vegan.
We haven’t seen a final solution where people are being mass incinerated. This doesn’t mean white supremacists abducting human beings into captivity without rules isn’t gonna make an incredibly dark chapter in our country worse.
Trump is using Israel as justification for employing nazis for nazi camp wordwide..
Would you listen to songs called…
“Alligator Alcatraz is a Gas.”
“Netanyahu is a Dope Rapper.”
Hitler wasn’t a dope rapper. Hitler is known for killing 6 million jews.
This Ain’t Rock N Roll: Pop Music, The Swastika and The Third Reich by Daniel Rachel succeeds in reminding NEVA AGAIN for any people…including jewish people.
I wouldn’t wear a T-shirt celebrating Kristi Noem or mocking Alex Pretti’s death in a decade or 20 years from now. Would you wear a Donald Trump shirt?
Hitler’s violent warehousing of people for human rights abuses are why people are worried about AIPAC lobbying our country in ICE Camps, and the murder of muslims overseas.
Is Hitler, Donald Trump ICE Raids, and Netanyahu’s friendship White supremacist American colonizations’ long game?
Donald Trump and Netanyahu are from Hitler’s generation, intelligence culture and community.
Why do you think this book cover looks cool and/or interesting?
