Students!

As you return to class this month, this is the perfect time to form an anarchist student organization! You could organize social gatherings, speaking events, film screenings, concerts, protests, and more.

We're counting on you to make contact with others like you and radicalize your peers! The future depends on you!

Here's an example of how one anarchist student organization got going:

And if you need inspiration, look at what anarchist students in Chile do!

We continue with 1985 in my project #50yearsofhiphop
One of the most classic Hip Hop tracks was released back then. And once again Beatboxing elements are an important part. We're talking about the artists Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew, featuring Rapper Slick Rick. The Song is called "The Show".

On the B-Side of the single "La Di Da Di" can be found. The song became one of the most sampled in music history by artists ranging from Snopp Dogg over Nas, Beastie Boys, Miley Cyrus and many others. Slick Ricks music itself was sampled over 1000 times to this day.

A forgotten classic is the debut album of Mantronix. Songs like "Fresh is the Word", "Needle to the Groove" and especially the lead single "Bassline" with lots of electro-induced bass. https://open.spotify.com/track/4iuO0dinw5Bm18pXbZok8w?si=EF_W4eqOSpeHZw-e_rwbgQ
Another (battle) Rapper that released in 1985 was Roxanne Shante. Just like her legendary track "Roxanne's Revenge" a year earlier, "Queen of Rox" was completely freestyled. As part of Marley Marl's Juice Crew, she was the first female MC to leave a big mark on the game. Probably her best song in 1985 was this one, though: https://youtu.be/FP74jcBwvQo?feature=shared
