My favorite local producers Thievery Corporation<\/a> have just released the video<\/a> for “Warning Shots” off of their new album “The Cosmic Game<\/a>“. The video<\/a> was actually filmed across the street from my office in front of the “House of the Temple<\/a>,” otherwise known as the massive Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Temple on 16th St. The video premiered on MTV2<\/a> on Sunday night, and I sincerely hope it gets more airtime because the “The Cosmic Game<\/a>” CD is one of their best yet. One can listen to their entire CD and not really get a feel for its underlying subversive nature. For instance, I got a bootleg copy of “Amerimakka,” and I loved it from the get-go, but it wasn’t until I obtained the CD and read over the lyrics did I realize 1) the name of the tune 2) what all the lyrics meant 3) how much I liked it after finding out about 1 & 2. Read over the lyrics from “Warning Shots” and then watch the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThey try their best just to mash up the resistance
\nWarning shots and sirens from a distance
\nRiot gear and barricade for an instance
\nAnd the words from mi mouth, mi nuh response
\nHollywood sending signals of destruction
\nStereotype the ghetto youths as the bad man
\nOvercome the rough times and we grow strong
\nStep up in a life, now them want to shake we hand<\/p>\n

We are eternal, made of the creator
\nWon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fall to the soul-less devastators
\nDivide and conquer, and try to separate us
\nUp to this day, them still try fi rape us\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(If you want to listen to “Warning Shots” but do not want to watch the video, click play on the “Render Radio” in the upper right hand corner of your screen. I’ve had a copy of “Warning Shots” on my website since I picked up the CD.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
