There has always been a scholastic, philosophical, and activist streak in hip-hop with such artists as KRS-One, Paris, Tupac, and more.
KRS-One, aware of, and respect some of his views. Paris - not a clue even who he is. Tupac, aware of who he is, to the best of my knowledge never listened to any of his stuff. Never will. As far as needing to expose myself to different forms of rap & hip-hop, no I don't. I'll leave that to others.

However, your comment does have a point. I need to correct my sentence that is bothersome to you. It should read ".... which seems more than a little out of place for a KILLER MIKE song". I trust that will be specific enough for you.

If you were to look at the "Burn" video, at the 0:10 mark you will see who actually made the video, Giovani Hidalgo. Back in July, I looked into Hidalgo's background, and he is much more than a world class Bongo player. In late August my computer blew up. The info I had on Hidalgo seems to be un-recoverable. However, in July Hidalgo had several (4) Facebook pages. One of them was very revealing as to his world/political views, which are very much reflected in the video. To cut to the chase, with the information that I was able to find on Hidalgo, it was fairly easy to find a loose association to OTPOR. In looking at that information in July it was obvious (at least to me) that Hidalgo's association was more than just in spirit.

If one was to look into the evolution of OTPOR, the connections OTPOR has to the US Intelligence (CIA) become clear. If one is so inclined I suggest they start with this video called "The Revolution Business". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpXbA6yZY-8

As I said in my original post OTPOR can't seem to help themselves in splashing around their logo. This logo is prominently displayed on the Occupy Seattle web site, www.occupyseattle.org. Also on the Occ. Seattle site is a full page devoted to OTPORS adopted bible, "Power and Struggle (Politics of Nonviolent Action)" by Gene Sharp.

Is "Occupy Wall Street" a organic movement of the people ? NO. "OWS" is a creation of US Intelligence/CIA/OTPOR. Why? Time will tell what the end game is.
