LIVING COLOUR Protest Gun Violence With “Who Shot Ya?’ Video
Living Colour has released a new mixtape entitled Who Shot Ya? and includes three songs from the Shade sessions plus “Who Shot Ya? remixes. Rolling Stone has premiered the new video for the Notorious B.I.G. cover.
"You see the names you might expect to see like Tamir Rice and Michael Brown, Jr., but you also see the names of Kurt Cobain, Malcolm X, Dimebag Darrell, Martin Luther King, Marvin Gaye and Lee Harvey Oswald," guitarist Vernon Reid tells Rolling Stone. "The absurdity of it all is staggering. We're portraying the obvious crisis through the use of graphics and stats, but we are also hoping people see the mass proliferation of guns in new ways. We can't keep ignoring the profligate amount of firearms so easily accessible to people. We respect people's rights to bear arms, but you can't argue the Second Amendment side of the issue without also looking at how the gun manufacturers are profiting from the death of others. The bitter irony of a song like 'Who Shot Ya?' is what happened to Biggie and Tupac. There's what the song was originally about and what the song wound up being about. It's a meta-tragedy."

Музыка хорошая. Из видео понял, что песня против оружия. Не в оружии дело, конечно. Дело в разложении социума на атомы и в деградации властвующих элит, которые более не способны создавать позитивные цивилизационные смыслы.
