RAP NEWS | 2012 - feat. Noam Chomsky & Anonymous

The year we've all been waiting for - 2012AD (or 13.0.0.0.0, if you ask a Mayan) - is finally here. What will happen? Will we see the poles shift or a paradigm shift? Will a rogue Sumerian planet smash into our solar system, plunging us into serfdom under the iron fist of a race of gold-hungry aliens? Or are the aliens already here? Or are all these merely humanity's collective projections of itself as it careens towards an ever-accelerating super-connected cyber-reality - whatever that means... One thing's sure, if 2011 was a prelude of things to come, 2012 is going to be one hell of a year. Now that it has arrived, are we ready? Join your host Robert Foster and his guests, Terrence Moonseed and General Baxter, as they conduct an in-depth rap analysis into the future, and humanity's place in it. Happy New YERA!

Holy crap I can't believe you guys had a rap with Chomsky. Can you get any more awesome? -.-

[AliceDiableaux]

Honestly watching this in late 2019, the ending of this makes me cry. 2011 and 2012 were such interesting times, the years after the Great Recession in general. The time was so ripe for true disruption of the capitalist status quo, for a revolution to make a world that works for all of us. Back then you'd truly have the hope that it could actually go anywhere, actually work. And look where we are now. Not only has nothing changed, it's gotten worse. Neoliberalism continues to fuck the world in every conceivable way with market-captured governments sweeping aside people to make it even easier. People are flocking to fascism and nazism around the globe, xenofobic sentiments are stoked up and profited from by populist politicians only out for personal gain and power in a time where we should all come together to deal with the biggest threat humanity has ever faced, the ecological apocalypse. History repeats itself, and it's painful as a historian to see everyone not learning from it and repeating the same dangerous bullshit. We're all gonna fucking die.

Rap with Chomsky. Can it get any better ???

[MarcAus]

As a linguistics professor I wonder what Chomsky thinks of rap, he looked quite amused during the "interview"

[RaffiTheQuokka]

Three years have passed and rewatching this makes me sad.

[AnFonE]

Man, I probably didn't know who Tim Pool was when this first came out. Just happened to be re-watching and there he is. You guys were definitely ahead of your time.

[kellyb]

This was and is, IMO, the best episode of rap new ever. You guys HAVE to rap about Ferguson now. 

[jasonbradshaw]

Man, I have been watching a few of these videos and they are just genius! Chomsky was great. Dude keep it up, if you ever need help with anything just let me know.

[AliceDiableaux]

'Terrencendental McKennical singularity' is still the most genius combination of words ever thought up in the English language <3

[tresteinjordklatt]

lol "maybe even a true democratic election" 6:07

[Pulpos]

I never though i would see this again after almost 9 years thinking back then some kind of huge change would come, only to realize now things are way way worse. But change doesnt come in one day and somehow i feel more awake, more prepared and more hopeful for whats to come...

[thejuicemedia]

multidimensional thinking and a parallel to South Park - one of our favourite shows ever... this might be one of our favourite comments! thanks :)

[onecommunityorg]

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Noam Chomsky's sage advice and Robert's summary in the last two minutes could not be more simple. Thank you from One Community! Blasting this out through our social media outlets now. Great work, we know how long something like this takes to produce!

[Yovessel]

This is by far the best you've dove. Brutally dope. Keep the debate going

[Elliotfoundsounds]

"I'm just a linguistics teacher" What a fucking legend!

[illili]

"...It means the fiends that seek to deceive keep us week'll reach a state of apogee..." That whole section is absolutely brilliant (not to mention the rest of the video of course). You guys at JuiceMedia certainly know how to make use of language.

The section where Gen. Baxter goes on about "occupying policies" was awesome. He's always had that theme about him (although it's become more prominent in later vids) but that section was nothing short of amazing.

Keep up the awesome work!

[jeffjeffs]

Love the way Terrance Moonseed crashes into this one.. and smashes that ceramic thing

[boltfantasticated]

These guys are amazing! They talk about the news in a way where people actually listen! I LOVE IT!!!!

[leonhardwolman]

@thejuicemedia seriously, I watched this years ago and these videos are legend, can't forget this, I watch and rewatch this every couple of months😅please do more of this and for the year 2020🙌🏼!! There is so much energy and creative things in there, just legend !
