Just excavated this phenomenal Mercenaries video from 1999 on YT. Had a ton of insane conversations recently about the Inevitable Return of the Underground as evidenced in the rise of Kid Cudi, the reboot of Raekwon and the disappointing performance of the Obama Administration. I got chills watching this video. I’m remembering the day I first heard “The Fire in Which You Burn Slow” and sad, nostalgic and hyped all at the same time.
And hear I am blasting this out to thousands on FBook, Twitter, my site, a-yadda-yadda. Can anything even be underground anymore if it is overexposed the instant it is shared? The music object is dead; fuck a CD nevermind a TAPE. Kids wear pictures of cassette tapes on their shirts because it’s an artifact of a dead era.
