My Contemporary Aerosol Linguist’s Opinion About Afrika Bambaataa

Writing About Afrika Bambaataa

wesflexner-ANON

The founders of Hip Hop are: Herc, Flash, and Bambaataa.

Afrika Bambaataa gave us the ultimate argument for Hip Hop.

Art is productive energy.

Peace, Unity, Love, Having Fun.

New York City was filled with gangs because of economic conditions.

We’ve all seen the Warriors.

Instead of fighting like in Michael Jackson’s Beat It…

People started rapping, painting graffiti, Bboying, and deejaying.

Afrika Bambaataa had Hip Hop and community power where breakdancing battles replaced violence from our understandings.

Bambaataa combined raps with Kraftwerk meets P-Funk presentation.

Kraftwerk created a future sound which worked with Krautrock after Germany needed a positive direction after the Holocaust. Does nazi chic undermine Krautrock?

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.

Jeff Chang pointed out Hip Hop was the first movement after the Civil Rights in a zoom conference I attended led by Jeff Chang with Kool Herc, and Cindy Campbell for Chang’s book Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.

Problem 1:

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..

Afrika Bambaataa led the Zulu Nation who regulated positive behaviors. Zulu Nation ideas were presented as Factology. You won’t find fault with much of Zulu Nation’s Factology.

Factology is a term from Malachi York.

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.

Followers of Malachi York included MF Doom, Jay-Z. Erykah Badu, Posdnous and Andre 3000.

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.

Rumeysa Ozturk’s Tufts Daily Editorial

Do you think Rumeysa Ozturk should’ve been sent into prison indefinitely for writing the following:

https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024/03/4ftk27sm6jkj

“On March 4, the Tufts Community Union Senate passed 3 out of 4 resolutions demanding that the University acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar’s statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel. These resolutions were the product of meaningful debate by the Senate and represent a sincere effort to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.

Unfortunately, the University’s response to the Senate resolutions has been wholly inadequate and dismissive of the Senate, the collective voice of the student body. Graduate Students for Palestine joins Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine, the Tufts Faculty and Staff Coalition for Ceasefire and Fletcher Students for Palestine to reject the University’s response. Although graduate students were not allowed by the University into the Senate meeting, which lasted for almost eight hours, our presence on campus and financial entanglement with the University via tuition payments and the graduate work that we do on grants and research makes us direct stakeholders in the University’s stance.

While an argument may be made that the University should not take political stances and should focus on research and intellectual exchange, the automatic rejection, dismissive nature and condescending tone in the University’s statement have caused us to question whether the University is indeed taking a stand against its own declared commitments to free speech, assembly and democratic expression. According to the Student Code of Conduct, “active citizenship, including exercising free speech and engaging in protests, gatherings, and demonstrations, is a vital part of the Tufts community.” In addition, the Dean of Students Office has written, “while at times the exchange of controversial ideas and opinions may cause discomfort or even distress, our mission as a university is to promote critical thinking, the rigorous examination and discussion of facts and theories, and diverse and sometimes contradictory ideas and opinions.” Why then is the University discrediting and disregarding its students who practice the very ideals of critical thinking, intellectual exchange and civic engagement that Tufts claims to represent?

The role of the TCU Senate resolutions is abundantly clear. The Senate’s resolutions serve as a “strong lobbying tool that expresses to the Tufts administration the wants and needs of the student body. They speak as a collective voice and are instrumental in enacting systemic changes.” In this case, the “systemic changes” that the collective voice of the student body is calling for are for the University to end its complicity with Israel insofar as it is oppressing the Palestinian people and denying their right to self-determination — a right that is guaranteed by international law. These strong lobbying tools are all the more urgent now given the order by the International Court of Justice confirming that the Palestinian people of Gaza’s rights under the Genocide Convention are under a “plausible” risk of being breached.

This collective student voice is not without precedent. Today, the University may remember with pride its decision in February 1989 to divest from South Africa under apartheid and end its complicity with the then-racist regime. However, we must remember that the University divested up to 11 years after some of its peers. For instance, the Michigan State University Board of Regents passed resolutions to end its complicity with Apartheid South Africa as early as 1978. Had Tufts heeded the call of the student movement in the late 1970s, the University could have been on the right side of history sooner….”
