Keith Murray, Hip-Hop and the Music Industry by TurnedTables the Funkinest Journalist 13 Oct 2003

"The support elicited through the control of minds is more durable than the support extracted at the point of a bayonet." -- Michael Parenti "Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media," p. 24.

The most beautifulest rapper, Keith Murray, talks with us about hip-hop music, the music industry and his own career.

Corruption of cultural output is an essential piece of race-based capitalism. There is a social, economic and political function to white supremacist corporate image making of hip-hop and rap musicians through video, recording contracts, radio station dj-playlists and distribution "deals."

Keith Murray talks with us a bit about these issues and his own career. The interview took place in Brooklyn during the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement's Black August event in August of 2003. The event's purpose was to highlight the cause of political prisoners being held to this day, illegally, by the United States government for daring to struggle and daring to win.
