Why do only an increasingly small handful of artists ever seem to really 'make it' in the music game? What's with all the never-ending covering of one eye in all the videos? Why the insistence on rappers having so many pseudonyms? And why is the robotic vocal programme Autotune still being mercilessly rolled out despite everyone you speak to saying they hate it?
In the first of a new series of podcasts for 2012, Mark Devlin talks to world famous author and public speaker David Icke about the agenda being employed in the music industry as one of many, many facets of the global control system. As more and more people awaken to new levels of human consciousness, the controllers are getting ever more desperate to suppress the movement. The music game - and particularly what passes for 'hip hop' and 'R&B' - is now a much-favoured method of subliminal manipulation.
With names such as Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears being specifically addressed, this will be controversial, and will doubtless upset a few. But the truth will always be the truth, and it's time certain things were said.
Pure nostalgia! We take it back to what was arguably black music's finest decade for a selection of mindblowing 80s grooves - soul, funk, electro hip-hop ... great music from special times. Whether you remember all this good stuff, or are discovering it for the first time, there are some gems right here. They sure don't make 'em like this any more!
As the race continues between the imposition of a global fascist state and the rapid awakening of human consciousness as to what's really going on, the time has come for Volume Two of this specially themed version of Mark Devlin's Just Buggin hip-hop podcast.
Here's another carefully vetted selection of cuts old and new, by awakened artists who have been bold enough to put their thoughts on track. These address various aspects of the 'elites' push to enslave humanity in a New World Order, along with a couple of trips into more esoteric realms - because the two are fundamentally linked in the Bigger Picture.
This is music for mature, responsible grown-ups who aren't afraid to think for themselves. As with Volume One, the lyrics to as many of the tracks as I was able to find are included below.
Absorb and enjoy.

LYRICS:
BUSTA RHYMES: EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT INTRO
Girl: Daddy, whats it gonna be like in the year 2000?
Father: Well, Sweetheart for your sake I hope it will be all peaches and cream. But Im afraid the endtime is near. The cataclysmic apocalypse referred to in the scriptures of every holy book known to mankind. It will be an era fraught with boundless greed and corruption, where global monetary systems disintegrate, leaving brother to kill brother for a grain of over-cooked rice. The nations of the civilized world will collapsed, under the oppressive weight of parasitic political conspiracies, which remove all hope and optimism from their once faithful citizens. Around the globe, generations of polluters will be punished for their sins. Unshielded by the o-zone layer they have successfully depleted, left to bake in the searing, naked rays of light. Wholesale assassinations serve to destabilize every remaining government. Leaving the starving and wicked to fend for themselves. Blood-thirsty renegade cyborgs, created by tax-dodging corporations, wreak havoc. Pissed off androids, tired of being slaves to a godless and gutless system where the rich get richer and the poor get fucked over and out, unleash total worldwide destruction by means of nuclear holocaust, annihilating the terrified masses, leaving in its torturous wake nothing but vicious, cannibalistic, mutated, and horribly disfigured hordes of satanic killers bent on revenge, but against whom? There are so few left alive. Starvation reigns supreme, forcing unlucky survivors to eat anything and anyone in their path. Massive earthquakes crack the planets crust like a hollow eggshell, causing unending volcanic eruptions. The creatures of the seven seas, unable to escape to certain death upon land, boil in their liquid prison. Disease encircles the Earth. Plagues and viruses with no known cause or cure laying waste to whatever draws breath. And humankind, having proven itself to be nothing more than a race of ruthless scavengers, fall victim to merciless attack at the hands of interplanetary alien tribes, who seek to conquer our charred remains. This is extinction level event: the final world front and there is only one year left.
Girl: Wow, thats cool. I cant hardly wait.
Father: You dont have to, because here it is

NAS: NEW WORLD
Uh, it's a new world, it's a new world,
It's a new world, it's a new world
Uh, it's a new world, it's a new world
Yo, celebrate the new life
New ways to make money
New ways to break dummies
Forge they name and take money
Computers ain't that smart
Whatever man built could be taken apart
Anything new can get old
Like dudes started rockin' platinum, some stopped wearin gold
solar-energized rides, no steering wheel, tell it how to drive
No propellers in the sky
Airplanes like many rockets
Waitin lists for the rich to get tickets to visit Mars
While the poor people starve, computers takin over they jobs
A man's forced to live off land
Now it's back to the caveman era
When we made fire, by two sticks rubbin together
The truth is, many are too scared of new data
America Online, cut off, see you later
[(Hook) 2x]
Yo, welcome to the new world, new beginnin
A new way to play, a new way a livin
Cash is the past, a new way a spendin
New life for man, children, and women
Yo, the new Mike Tyson's Roy Jones
Bill Clinton's the new JFK, without the hole in his dome
The new Don Trump is Bill Gates
Not because his occupation, it's 'cause we respect his cake
And cake mean his stock, net gross
Young kids step it up, go for the most
New cameras in police cars takin pictures
New hustlas gettin new street figures
And US embassies overseas
almost every foreign country's under seige
Covertly startin wars, CIA, NAVY Seals
Commit larcenies that be worth over mil's
Oil in the earth spills
Girls blow they body up, birth control pills
African's pick diamonds out a dark caves
Then we wear it on our necks just so we can light up the stage
[Hook]
Say goodbye to the brainwashed
Say goodbye to the young kids who not smart
Say goodbye to the toasters and Pop-Tarts
Yo, it's real
Swallow a little pill, there's a four-course meal
Say hello to the one world
Say hello to the sky, somethin's out there watchin you and I
More enticin than Star Trek, StarTec phones
Your genes and DNA is used to make clones
You got CD-Rom, everythang operates by computers
Then what happens when circuit breaks
Y2K's the big scare
Scientists say we ain't prepared
What I feel is contrare
Alexander Graham Bell made telephones, yes
But now we request for your e-mail address
I might be old fashioned, stuck in my ways
But nothin make me more happier than seein today
[Hook]

IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: BIN LADEN
"Bin Laden"
(feat. Mos Def)
[Mos Def: talking]
Man, you hear this bullshit they be talkin'
Every day, man
It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars
YouknowwhatI'msayin? It's wild
Listen
[Hook: Mos Def]
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
[Jadakiss] (Bush knocked down the towers)
Tell the truth, nigga
[Jadakiss] (Bush knocked down the towers)
Tell the truth, nigga
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
[Jadakiss] (Bush knocked down the towers)
Tell the truth, nigga
[Jadakiss] (Bush knocked down the towers)
[Verse 1: Immortal Technique]
I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president's speeches
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers
And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love
This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Immortal Technique]
They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south, my nigga
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga
You ever clock someone who talk shit, or look at you wrong?
Imagine if they shot at you, and was rapin' your moms
And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons
We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election
Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era
Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
They controllin' the ghetto, with the failed attack
Tryna distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack
So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo holdin' a sniper rifle
These bullets'll touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael
Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled
I fire on house niggaz that support you and like you
Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily
And poor people never get shit and struggle daily
This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real
Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal
[Eminem] (I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
It's never been said but I set precedents)
[Hook]
[Eminem] (Shady Records was 80 seconds away from the towers
Some cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours)

PUBLIC ENEMY: SON OF A BUSH
Uh! Backwards!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! (c'mon!)
Oh no, struck by greased lightning
F'ed by the same last name, you know what?
China ain't never givin back that god damned plane
Must got this whole nation trained on some kennel ration
Refrain, the same train, full of cocaine, blows the brain
Have you forgotten? I've been through the first term of rotten
The father, the son and the holy Bush-shit we all in
Don't look at me, I ain't callin for no assasination
I'm just sayin, sayin
Who voted for that asshole of your nation?
Deja Bush, crushed by the headrush, when I wrote the bumrush
Saw you salute to the then Vice Pres
Who did what RayGun [Reagan] said
And then became prez himself, went for delf
Knee deep in his damned self
Stuck in a three headed bucket, a trilateral Bush-shit
Sorry ain't no better way of puttin it
No you cannot freestyle this
Cause you still ain't free
If I fight for y'all then they get me
How many o y'all is comin to get me?
None! Cause it's easier to forget me
Ain't that a Bush, son of a Bush is here all up in yo zone
You ain't never heard so much soul to the bone
I told y'all when the first Bush was tappin my telephone
Spy vs. Spy, can't truss em, as you salute to the illuminati
Y'know what? Take yo ass to your one millionth party!
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
The son of a bad...
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
Son of a bad..........
Now here's the pitch
Hiding inside certified genocide
Ain't that a Bush, repeat ain't that a Bush?
Out of nowhere headed to the hot house
Killed 135 at the last count
Texas Bounce! Texas Bounce! (c'mon)
Cats in a cage got a ghost of a chance
Of comin back from your whack-ass killin machine
Son of a Bush, ain't that a son of a Bush
Cats doin bids for the same Bush-shit that you did (the father)
Serial killer kid, uhh! Serial killer kid
Go on!
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
The son of a bad...
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
Son of a bad.........

Coke is the real thing
Used to make you swing
Used to be yo thing
Daddy had you under his wing
Uhh, son of a Bush
Bringin kilos to fill up silos
You probably sniffed piles
Got inmates in Texas scrubbin tiles
That shit is wild
That shit is wild CIA child
That shit is wild CIA child......
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
The son of a bad...
He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
Son of a bad......
Son of a bad, man

CANIBUS: THE LULLABY OF CHAMPIONS
Chorus: (singing)
Goodnight… don't laugh don't cry
I'll never leave you
So just close your eyes
Couldn't deceive you
So fall deep into sleep to my lullaby
Canibus:
I recorded this in solitude
Probably the only opportune moment to talk to you
I'ma hold hands and walk with you, all of you
I honor you plus I got a lot of jewels to offer you
I know each of you got jewels to offer too
But only if the world knew what was possible
The gods and the goddesses above they watch us
While fallen angels make obstacles to stop us
Fear shuts down the evolution process
Chaos, that's what they want to accomplish
They usher in law and order through the back door
Start a massive war, enact marshal law
Nahh… The real samurai stand up
Atomic Godzilla just fucked Japan up
Think about it, they say Haiti had bad luck
I say “man up, they leaders just abandon them!”
What happened to the donation relief dollars?
I'll tell what happened they went to them leader's pockets
They use fear and confusion to control us
Tell us to donate then rob us for our emotions
They pretend to lead the people like Moses
As the Rapture approaches they escape in the commotion
I came to tell you that the Angels believe in you
They believe in me too, so I ain't gonna leave you
Canibus: (overlaps chorus)
The first shall be last and last shall be first
That concept was here before man was on Earth
It's not gonna get better before it gets worse
And no matter what, we gotta do this light and dark work
I came to tell you that the angels believe in you
They want you to see the truth through the evil
They want you to know that ignorance weakens you
And they want us all to recognize that we are one people
Canibus:
I came to tell you that the Elohiem believe in you
And the righteous never have a right to deceive you
You've never seen me do nothing greedy or unreasonable
And that's cuz I ain't ever gon' leave you
Canibus was put here to ride with you
And build our faith up to fight the impossible
I ain't preaching brother, I'm saying all we got is each other
Forget what those motherfuckers promised you
I love you and I honor you
The god honest truth is that I would do the same thing if I was you
Comet 911 is coming nobody saying nothing
But we gotta figure out what to do
Canibus: (overlaps chorus)
The first shall be last and last shall be first
That concept was here before man was on Earth
It's not gonna get better before it gets worse
And no matter what, we gotta do this light and dark work
I came to tell you that the angels believe in you
They want you to see the truth through the evil
They want you to know that ignorance weakens you
And they want us all to recognize that we are one people
Chaos, death, and destruction is near
I pray these words don't fall on deaf ears
Comet 911 is almost here
Do the research and find out for yourself
Stop waiting on somebody else to help
Be proactive, save yourself

B DOLAN: THE REPTILIAN AGENDA
The camera's eye dilates, focus escapes
A sweeping brush coats the face
Petroleum based cover up
Concealer and blush
to make the cheeks look flush
At least real enough
Every night I watch the filter bend the light
Through the tube, in the vacuum
Broadcast into detached rooms
The suicide cure; the miracle fix.
In my guts I know it's them or us
I've tried to resist
Sinister drugs from the Ministers of Love
Skin cold to the touch
Subtle quickness in their motion,
Flash of a split tongue when the mask slips up
Subliminal images; quick cuts
Cobra commander and other covert propaganda
Listerine and lipstick, people completely miss it
Label me a misfit, settle for the spectacle
Surrender the Vendetta but remember,
remember,
remember:
The reptilian agenda.
When the sun climbs the pyramid and opens its eye
to shine a cold light down on the capital steps
the enemy slithers by in slick business attire
Grand Imperial Lizards
take regimented steps down
streets paved with bone
from a bed of cement
I heard the steady drone build into a deafening tone;
RFID chip, fingerprint, cellular phone
Satellites light up the globe
Your positions are known
What was written in stone will be built into silicone
Total synthesis, centralized control
Secret Oaths; Bohemian Grove
The ritual
The code
The pyramid
The pinnacle
The priviledged few
use these symbols to communicate
beware and be careful who you choose to illuminate
you never know who's the snakeuntil its too late to
take shelter (remember)
take shelter (remember)
The reptilian agenda.
By the time they find this song I'll already be gone
They have corrupted me
They have hunted me down
Closing in now...
Links in a chain of unexplained encounters
The evidence of a presence, trace of the shapeshifter
Wait and the remain vigiliant.
6012, year of light revealed in the sky
As oxygen turns to carbon and the sea-levels rise
The planet becomes a desert as the temperature climbs
The only creatures left alive will be the cold blooded kind
Almost like reptiles were in control the whole time
Know your history; know the signs:
Chinese dynasties descended from Dragon Kings
They flooded New Orleans from a castle in Beijing
Remember Eve's deceiver from the book of Genesis
the snake in a double helix the Greek symbol for medicine
Great deceivers and ancient leaders illuminate:
Bodies like snakes, heads like humans
Depicted in Indian scriptures and hieroglyphics written in Aztec ruins.
Past Present and Future
the master class of mutant rulers are the true predators.
Keep the shades down
and a blade around brother
and remember,
remember,
remember:
The reptilian agenda.

LAURYN HILL: I GET OUT
I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change
[Verse 1]
Your stinkin' resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your pollution
I won't support your lie no more
I won't even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more
I can't be victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
Cause now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you'd loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin' is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin'
Your guilt trip's just not workin'
Repressin' me to death
Cause now I'm choosin' life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That's how I choose to live
[Pause]
[Singing rest of Verse 1]
That's how I choose to live...
Hehehehe, awhh
No more compromises
I see past your disguises
Blindin' through mind control
Stealin' my eternal soul
Appealin' through material
To keep me as your slave
[Singing Chorus]
But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin' my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change
[Singing Verse 2]
See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling's no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin' true expression
Cementin' this repression
Promotin' mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh, let my Father's will be done
[Singing Chorus]
And just get out
Oh, just get out of all these bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can't hold me in chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin' freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change
[Singing Verse 3]
I've just accepted what you said
Keepin' me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you've had everyone believed
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul
Oh, when escape is mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you servin'
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you're deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave
[Singing Chorus]
Oh, just get out
Of this social purgatory
Just get out
All these traditions are a lie
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let's get out
Let's get out
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out

Why a nigga always want what he can't have
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag
Why did crack have to hit so hard

Why niggas can't get no jobs
Why they come up wit the witness protection

Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son
And you know why they made the new twenties
Cause I got all the old ones

So why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way

AKALA: FIND NO ENEMY
Apparently I'm second generation black Caribbean and half white Scottish whatever that means*
See lately I feel confused with the boxes, cos to me all they do is breed conflict,
It not that I've lost touch with the reality racism, sexism and nationality,
Just to me it all seems like insanity, why must I rob you of your humanity
To feel good about mine, it's all about crime dehumanizing is how I justify it,
So I must keep on lying about the history of africa, so I can live the with massacres and
Repeat my mantra of Muslim and terrorist so I can sleep at night as bombs take flight,
Eyes wide but I'm blind to the sight too busy chasing the perfect life and the working class keep them uneducated
Truly educated men could never be racist, to educate is to draw out what is within are all not the same under the skin,
I got a heart like yours that pumps blood and oxygen and insecurities are a whole lot of them,
I'm scared like you deep down,
I really do care that world is not fair like you,
But I don't even believe my own prayers like you,
Chasing career going nowhere like you,
Lost in a fog of my own insecurities I hold myself up as a image of purity,
And I judge everybody else by the color of their skin or the size of their wealth
But it's not good for my health as the only one I ever really judge is my self
The oppressor must suffer like the oppressed though I pretend I'm in control of this mess
By inflating my ego, puffing my chest I see my weakness and need to show strength
For what we think strong is cos if were honest true strength is the strength to be honest
And if I'm honest i am just tired if I'm honest I am just tired,
Tired of everyday filling up my car and knowing that I'm paying for the bombs in Iraq
Tired of pretending like it don't hurt my heart, of wanting change but not knowing where to start
Tired of listening to all the conditioning and all the forms they have me filling in.
Next time you see what is a thug and despise him, please know I was just like him,
Cos I was like eight the first time I saw crack, same time I first smoked weed chicking on blowbacks,
First time I saw knifes penetrate flesh it was meat cleavers to the back of the head,
As I grew and teenage years passed many more knifes pierced and the shots blast
And I not saying i had the worst upbringing but there a million young men just like me in prison
We complain about racism and elevate clowns with their trousers down swinging their dicks round,
Maybe that is not quite literal but everything they do is just as stereotypical,
To my real fans i feel your pain and I get the messages but don't complain that we ain't got more fame for paying our part,
They can keep the charts all I want is your hearts,
They can keep the charts all I want is your hearts,
They can keep the charts all I want is your hearts,
Call it black radio don't make laugh, so is black music all about tits and arse,
You don't represent nothing your just pretending, when was the last time you ever played
Hendrix or miles davis or john Coultrain or elefits gerald or billy Holliday
We can call it urban to me thats cool if urban means street that means jazz to and rock for that matter
Go ask Mick jagger or jimmy page what they were listening to - the blues
Not discrediting love Zeppelin to just giving credit where credit is due
That blood socked word rappers still use that just shows we still self abuse,
That was the word that was used to kill kelso cochrane, and emit till
Hat was the word that the conscience eased and made people pleased to hung you from trees
That was the word that let the rips crack no matter what you say you can't take it back
And I can say their black so i feel their pain easier but 1915 look at armenia,
If the whole world is human stupidity though we choke ourselves to death quite literally
And I can talk with my comfortable mouth, with my comfortable cloths and my comfortable house
The tables will turn, we can but stall them every empire on this earth has fallen
So unless we can find another way maybe not today but it will come one-day,
It may sound like i'm bitter but in-fact truth be told i am quite the opposite,
I wake everyday and am overwhelmed just to be alive and be like no one else
And the sheer weight of the thought of space is enough to keep my little ego in place
All that we chase and try to replace all along it was right in our face,
The only we the only way we can ever change anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy,
The only way we can ever change anything, look in the mirror and find no enemy,
The only way we can ever change anything, look in the mirror and find no enemy

JOHN LENNON: WORKING CLASS HERO
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
Some pure 90s nostalgia from first time around! This is one of my very earliest Swing Shift shows, which aired every Friday night on Galaxy 101 in Bristol. Pure street soul, swing, hip-hop and ragga all the way, including an interview with radio legend Kool DJ Red Alert recorded in New York. Stunningly good music that was all current at the time, and listening to it makes you realise just how great that decade was, and how much has been lost in the music that's laughingly referred to as 'R&B and hip-hop' these days!
As many are starting to realise, we're living in incredible times, and a mass awakening of human consciousness is underway. The first stage of this is the realisation that the world is not run by the people we've been conditioned all our lives to believe it is. It's a network of occult secret societies who actually control all aspects of human life. And it's finally coming down. It's a complex network, but 'The Illuminati' has come to be adopted as a collective term for the covert controllers.
More than any other genre, the hip-hop world has been paying attention to the revelations, and Illuminati/ New World Order-related lyrics are being infused into tracks by more and more vigilant artists - those that aren't owned by one of the control-system corporations, that is!
So if I'm a nutter, so are a hell of a lot of rappers!
In this special one-off edition of Just Buggin, Mark Devlin presents a carefully vetted selection of tracks whose lyrics address various aspects of the global conspiracy - along with the occasional foray into the nature of reality itself and the false version of history we've been fed, because they're all fundamentally linked. Not your average fluffy family fun then! No Rihanna or Nicki Minaj here. This is music for mature, open-minded grown-ups who aren't afraid to think for themselves.
The lyrics for as many of the tracks as it was possible to find are included below.
So ...blinkers off, X Box down, third eye open - let's go!

JUST BUGGIN' ILLUMINATI SPECIAL - SONG LYRICS
LUPE FIASCO: WORDS I NEVER SAID
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11 building 7, did they really pull it?
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover-ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then wait, here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust
You get it then they move you, so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the f-cks”
Dude is dating so and so, blabbering 'bout such and such
And that aint Jersey Shore, homie, that's the news!
And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit
That's why I aint vote for him, next one neither
I’m a part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people.
Now you can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better, then we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, where's that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam!
And you are not observant
And you are not a muslim
Israel don’t take my side 'cause look how far you’ve pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the kush went
Complain about the liquor store but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when’d you pick a broom up?
Just listening to 'Pac aint gone make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon' make it halt
If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor
Pills with a million side effects
Take 'em when the pain's felt
Wash them down with Diet soda
Killin off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the World
Would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss a payment
They can take your home away
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you
Consider this, you're bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through
VINNIE PAZ: END OF DAYS
The greatest form of control is when you think you're free when you're being fundamentally manipulated and dictated to. One form of dictatorship is being in a prison cell and you can see the bars and touch them. The other one is sitting in a prison cell but you can't see the bars but you think you're free.
What the human race is suffering from is mass hypnosis. We are being hypnotized by people like this: newsreaders, politicians, teachers, lecturers. We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people. The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely enormous.
It's like we all know what's going down
But no one's saying shit, what happened to the home of the brave?
These motherfuckers they're controlling us now
But no one's talking about it, made us proud to be slaves
And everybody's just walking around
Head in the clouds, we won't awake until we're dead in the grave
By then it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up
Welcome to the end of days
Everybody is a slave, only some are aware
That the government releasing poison in the air
That's the reason I collect so many guns in my lair
I ain't never caught sleeping, never unprepared
Yeah, The Shaytan army, they just break it proudly
George Bush the grandson of Aleister Crowley
They want you to believe the lie that the enemy Saudi
The enemy ain't Saudi, the enemy around me
There's fluoride in the water but nobody know that
It's also a prominent ingredient in Prozac (For real?)
How could any government bestow that?
A proud people who believe in political throwback
That's not all that I'm here to present to you
I know about the black pope in Solomon's Temple
Yeah, about the Vatican assassins and how they will get you
And how they cloned Barack Hussein Obama in a test tube
Whoever built the pyramids had knowledge of electrical power
And you know that that's the information that they suppress and devour
Who you think the motherfuckers that crashed in the tower?
Who you think that made it turn into ash in an hour?
The same ones that invaded Jerome
The ones that never told you about the skeletons on the moon
Yeah, the ones that poison all the food you consume
The ones that never told you about Mount Vesuvius Tomb
The Bird Flu is a lie, the Swine Flu is a lie
Why would that even come as a surprise?
Yeah, the Polio vaccine made you die
It caused cancer and it cost a lot of people their lives
Do y'all know about Bohemian Grove?
How the world leaders sacrificing children in robes?
Lucifer is God in the public school system
I suggest you open up your ears and you listen
The greatest hypnotist on the planet Earth is an oblong box in the corner of the room. It is constantly telling us what to believe is real. If you can persuade people that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see, you've got them. Because they'll laugh in the face of an explanation then which portrays the big picture of what's happening... and they have.

DISPOSABLE HEROES OF HIPHOPRICY: TELEVISION, THE DRUG OF THE NATION
One nation
under God
has turned into
one nation under the influence
of one drug
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V., it
satellite links
our United States of Unconsciousness
Apathetic, therapeutic and extremely addictive
The methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels, 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching
T.V. is the reason why less than 10 per cent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central Amerika
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy
absorbed in its world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our mind the most
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting too close to...
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles
T.V. is mechanized politics
remote control over the masses
co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special
It's the perpetuation of the two-party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where soundbite politics are served to
the fast food culture
Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on...
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V., is it the reflector or the director ?
Does it imitate us
or do we imitate it?
because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder why we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than to abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background
Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well, now go buy the soft drink
Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A. (Cost Of Living Allowance)
On television
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
Back again, 'New and improved'
We return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commercials
CNN ESP NABC TNT, but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
'virtually spotless', 'fresh frozen'
'light yet filling' and 'military intelligence'
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like 'recession' to 'necessary downturn'
'Crude oil' on a beach to 'mousse'
'Civilian death' to 'collateral damages'
and being killed by your own Army
is now called 'friendly fire'
T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of
trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become
sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

JERU THA DAMAJA: SCIENTIFICAL MADNESS
Scientifical Madness
My status is the baddest
There's a hole in the ozone layer
I'm rippin vampires
You think I give a fuck
Who's the biggest player?
Or who's got the fattest bank roll?
What is it if a man gains the world
And lose his own soul?
Bioengineered mutated chickens
Niggaz lickin' one another
Brother killin' brother
And you demon muthafuckas
Start coastal rivalries
The worlds greatest lust is jewelery
Mind, Jah lick you with disease
So I inflict MC's like Ebola
Or some other man-made cancer
Fuck a two-hundred dollar sweater
We need to try and reach the niggaz
On the corner
But all we do is create drug dealers
Envy then creates murderers
Diamond rings, pretty hoes
Fat chains, expensive things
Just watch which way
Ya burner swings in this world of...
Chemical warfare
The telephone man acts like he lives here
The goverment is putting mad shit in the air
Projects are strategically set-up
In the case that shit you up
They easily blown up
Poisonous gases
The so-called righteous help for the masses
But it's them that judge their own asses
Knowing what their task is
But still receding, ass backwards
Do you need to ask me who the devil is
Some may call it showbiz
I just call 'em hipocrites
'Cause they don't teach the children shit positive
Like how a man should live
They only focus on the negative
So they're stuck in the ghetto
While you drive a car and got a condo
It's all for the dolo
It's killing your own people
profits greater than Peneco
Forget about whats equal
In this world of...
Artifically inseminated
White bitches have babies most black youth are incarcerated
In the ghetto babies having babies but no loot
So most pregnancies are terminated
Warlocks keep the covenant
And the souls of the ignorant ones empower it
It's transparent
You see Uncle Sam as your parent
When Amerikkka has beef you jump up to defend it
But you can still be a defendant
Ask my co-defendant
And we're both innocent
Every black man in Amerikkka faces imprisonment
Ridicule, and torment
But in this tournament
The chosen few shall be triumphant
And the devil will be decapitated
So you can keep your duckets
And your dressing, I wont be emasculated
In this world of...

RAS KASS: THE NATURE OF THE THREAT
Let freedom ring with a buckshot, but not just yet
First we need to truly understand the nature of the threat
And a pale man walks in the threshold of darkness
Roughly 20,000 years ago the first humans evolved
with the phenotypical trait, genetic recessive
Blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin
Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man, Africans
So the mutants traveled North of the equator
Called Europeans later, the first race haters
So here's the Devil's alpha to the beta
Cause history's best qualified to teach one
Quoting German philosopher Schopenhauer
"Every white man is a faded or a bleached one"
Migration created further mutation
Genetic drifts, evolution through recombination
Adaptation to the climate
As the Caucus Mountain man reverted to that of a primate
Savage Neanderthals, until the late Paleolithic age
That's when the Black Grimaldi man came
With the symbol of the dragon, fire and art
Check cave paintings in France and Spain to the Venus of Willendorf
Around 2000 B.C. Southern Russians migrate in small units
Those who travel West populated Europe
Those who went East settled in Iran, known as Aryans
1500 B.C. some crossed the Khyber Pass into India and
created Hinduism, the first caste system, the origins of racism
A white dot on the forehead meant elite
The black dot - defeat; untrustable, untouchables
They wrote the holy Vedas in Sanskrit
That's the language that created Greek, German, Latin and English
Now the Minoans around 2000 B.C.
Starts on the island of Crete, in the Agean Sea
The Greek culture begins Western Civilization
But "Western Civilization" means "White Domination"
Myceneans learned from Kemet, called Egypt in Greek
It existed since at least 3000 B.C.
Creating geometry and astronomy
This knowledge influenced Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates
'Cause Imhotep, the real real father of medicine
Was worshiped in Greece and Rome in the form of a Black African
The word Africa comes from the Greek "Aphrike"
meaning "without cold"; the word philosophy means "love of knowledge"
Stole from first man, Greek power expands
The first Greek fraternities band
The word gymnasium is Greek for "naked"
This was the place where adolescent boys were educated, and molested
This was accepted because Greek culture was homosexual
For example, Sappho trained girls on the island of Lesbos
Hence, the word lesbian (Ay let these dumb motherfuckers know)
December 25th, the birth of Saturn
A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern
December 25, now thought the birth of Christ
Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk,
fucked each other then beat their wife
Fact is, it was still practiced, til they called it Christmas
So put a gerbil on your Christmas list
The Hellenistic Era, Alexander the Great
Conquers all the way to India leavin four successor states
By the Fifth century B.C., R.O.M.E.
succeeds to be the conqueror of Egypt and Greece
But had the threat of the Black Phoenicians in Sicily
The Punic Wars began 264 B.C.
The Black general Hannibal and Carthaginian Peace
In 146 B.C. Carthage fell after a six-month siege
Rome sold every citizen to slavery
The first genocide of history
And more bisexuality in sight; Julius Caesar was known as
"every woman's husband and every man's wife" (BEE-ATCH!)
Spartacus Revolt, a slave rebellion that lost
Where 6,000 slaves was nailed on a cross
Cross? Aw, shit! Jesus Christ! Time for some-act-right
Christians get your facts right
Cause Christ was not his name
That's Greek for "One who is anointed"
Yahshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this?
So who do you praise, do you know his name?
Or do you do this in vain?
Accepting the religion they gave slaves to behave
Peep the description of historian Josephus
"Short, dark, with an underdeveloped beard was Jesus"
He had the Romans fearing revolution
The solution was to take him to court and falsely accuse him
After being murdered by Pilate how can it be
these same white Romans established Christianity
Constantine would later see the cross in a dream
In his vision, it read "En Hawk Signo Wonka":
"In this sign we conquer" - Manifest Destiny
In 325 he convened the Nicean Creed
And separated god into three
Decided Jesus was born on December 25th
and raised then on the third day is a myth
Plus to deceive us
Commissioned Michelangelo to paint white pictures of Jesus
He used his aunt, uncle, and nephew
Subconsciously that affects you
It makes you put white people closer to God
(Yo, 'The Man' got game like a motherfucker!)
True indeed, fuck it, Jihad
In the eight century Muslims conquered
Spain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 years
They never mention this in history class
cause old faiths are threatened when you get the real lesson
Moors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European Christians
Meaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ
On November 25th, 1491
Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada
King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory
And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be
A day of "Thanksgiving" for all European Christians
.. Now listen, when you celebrate "Thanksgiving"
What you are actually celebratin
is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome
Who later, in league with Queen Isabella
sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain
to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity
These Moors, these black men and women
were from Baghdad, Turkey
And today, you eat the turkey, for your "Thanksgiving" day
as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys
Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers
Now fight the power, you bitch-ass niggaz!
Now around this time, Whites started callings us Negroes
That's Spanish for black object, meaning we're not really people
but property, and the triangle trade begins - they seize us
Queen Elizabeth sends the first slaves on a ship named Jesus
Stealin land from the indigenous natives
Gave them alcohol to keep the Red Man intoxicated
Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals
But up until 1848 there's documented cases
of whites bein the savage cannibals, eatin Indians
In 1992, it's Jeffrey Dahmer
They slaughtered a whole race with guns
Drugs, priests and nuns
1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare
As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst
passed out clothin and blankets to the Indian community
Infested with smallpox, knowin they had no immunity
Today it's AIDS, you best believe it's man made
Cause ain't a damn thing changed.. let me explain
Now since people of color are genetically dominant
and Caucasoids are genetically recessive
and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then
they simply must, take precautions
That's why they're worried about their future now
Cuz by 2050, almost all the Earth's population
will be brown, then black, so understandin that, whites counterreact
(I'm sayin.. man.. them fools
ain't nothin but a teaspoon of milk in the world color majority)
So they created a system
to force blacks into an unnatural position
That re-enforces the position of natural inferiority
In addition, created guns and developed the ethnocentric view
that God justifies every fuckin thing they do
Condition people to perceive whites' culture as civilized
and every other culture considered primitive - not true!
Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites
in every areas of human relation
Entertainment, education, labor, politics
Law, religion, sex, war and economics
See blacks were 3/5ths of a man with tax purposes intended
You think you're Afro-American?
You're a 14th amendment and a good nigga
Jews don't salute the fuckin swastika
but niggaz pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya
They never teach about the break of islands like Jamaica
But before slaves came here whites would take a
pregnant women, hang her from a tree by her toes
Slice her stomach with a knife
and let the unborn baby fall to the flo'
And stop an unborn child in front of all the slaves
to inbreed fear, so they'd be scared and behave
and not rebel more
Understand all whites must be perceived as potential predators
I paraphrase historian Ishakamusa Barashango
"Understand that regardless of the lofty ideas ingraved on paper
in such documents as the Constitution or Declaration
the basic nature.. of the European American white man
remains virtually unchanged".. so check
This is the nature of the threat

CANIBUS: CHANNEL ZERO
Approximately fifty years ago
under the direction of President Harry Truman
and in the interest of 'national security'
A group of twelve top military scientific personnel were established
This group's primary objective
was to desensitize us to the truth
And to suppress the material evidence that our planet is being visited
by a group of extraterrestrial biological entities called the grays
Tune in to channel zero (8X)
Yo, sometimes the road to the truth is, so elusive it's confusin
And reality becomes illusion
If I showed the masses where we was at or where we was goin
I'd shatter the social balance of the world as we know it
I'm talkin 'bout the grand deception, of 1947
When our souls were sold to the heavens
for technologically advanced weapons
Crystal enhanced, brain implants, and mind control methods
MJ-12 is not majestic
And the focal point of our problems on this planet are not domestic
You can accept it or be stupid and be a skeptic
and fail to recognize the secret society's deathwish
Ninety-seven percent of our Presidents were Masons
Responsible for laundering trillions of dollars from the nation
for the construction of underground military installations
Abductions and cattle mutilations
Experiments on human patients
can take place in several subterranean bases
A hundred and fifty stories below a basement
With knowledge of genetic information, you need to fear science, not Satan
Cause through the manipulation of certain biological agents
they create strange creations
Top secret special operations
Low frequency sounds and lasers, people like Carl Sagan
that didn't believe in the Drake equation
were tryin to keep Western civilization on the need-to-know basis
Well you need to know that this is a game
and we're bein betrayed and played in the worst way
Tune in to channel zero (8X)
Yo, the holy script from Genesis 1-26
says, "Let us make man in our image under our likeness"
First of all who's THEY? You see if God
was truly a single entity that's not what he would say
We as the Elohim, Gods and Goddesses
posess a marvelously monstrous subconscious
Lifeforms that speak, in very high pitched sounds and squeaks
Short staccato clicks and beeps
A highly advanced form of speech
Even though to us it seems like they only chatterin they teeth
They used to swim deep in the oceans beneath
Til they fins transformed into limbs and they started to creep
Then they evolved into mammals with feet
And walked right from the shorelines onto the beach
They used gravity, cause it's actually the only force around
that could slow time and the speed of light down
The energy grid network, opened the gateway from Earth
to any point in the universe
Living organisms and various, geomagnetic gravitational, anomaly areas
Space expedition teams in the lunar regions
reported seeing decapyramids and tetrahedrons
Liquid filled shoes, is what they used
to walk across the moon without leavin a clue
of where they been for the past twenty-three billion years
Before life on the surface even appeared
I hope you become aware what I'm spittin in your ear
was intended to stimulate your left-brain's hemisphere
I know it sounds weird, all these motherfuckin answers
and questions to the grand deception

LUPE FIASCO: STATE-RUN RADIO
You must be a radio station
And who are we, we must be
A number one song spinnin all day long
And over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, and over again
We know when when we call in
And nothing's free, sounds to me like
State run radio
We interrupt this broadcast
To bring you the special message 'bout the forecast
The future's cloudy and it's raining on the poor class
Road to peace is closed, heavy traffic on the war paths
Love is ballin on a budget
The military says its gon need more cash
To keep fightin for your gas
Keep us in our hoods and hope we never explore pass
Stay inside of your half, believe the lies you learned in your class
That there's no treasure in your trash,
And the ceiling has the same feeling that the floor has
And that's where you should stay
This is what they play
Chorus
Over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, and over again
And we know when, when we call in
And nothing's free, sounds to me like
State run radio
You're now tuned into the weakest
Frequency of fear keep you locked right here
And hope you never leave this, never be a leader
Think inside the box and follow all procedures
Never ever believe that you will never need this
Hit up all your friends and tell them to repeat this
Hi, your'e on the air. now what you wanna hear?
Well, we ain't got the truth, but how about a remix?
Different is never good, good is only what we pick
You ain't got a hit unless it sounds like these did
Not too smart, you will be a superstar
And if you dumb or something maybe you could be number one
So, beware what's on the airwaves
And be more aware of what's not gettin air played
Independent spirit, you can barely hear what theyre sayin'
Youth aint gettin on like shampoo on an airplane
Propagandas everywhere, constantly on replay
All the hits all the time back to back on relay
We're really where it lives, make 'em hear the records we play
Build your own station, become your own DJ
You must be a radio station
And who are we, we must be
A number one song spinnin' all day long,
And you put me in daily rotation
You're on the air, we know your scared
But we don't care, well play this here

WADE WATERS: A POST-RACIAL AMERICA (PART 1)
It's the same thing, I saw yesterday, we need a better way
Cause ain't a thing changed
Police are violent but they tell me be a pacifist
I'm black and love this country, I'm a masochist
Post racial, can't be the agitate, this here inadequate
...makes me wanna blast it in
The border still looks a Nazi camp
They still murder blacks, ask Oscar Grant
Left wing politicians … a bunch of cowards they all afraid of …
False information leads to information of this cancer
Been untrue views is few through the camera
They blame Mexicans for trafficking intoxicants
In Arizona they gonna ask for your documents
Since Africans were carried to the Occident
They're trying to convince the world that … was an …
And how can I be confident, when the end … is incompetent
Beat out Obama leave them on high like on marijuana
Now we see is son attracts nothing but drama
We were real silly thinking that he might save us
My life chance still going in my white neighbors
No education, black juveniles fight cases
Can't they apologize so I call them racists
And I got a basis, covered all my bases
This goes out to Sarah … and Ronald Reagan
I got questions, I need answers,
Still trying to figure out what's the matter with Kansas
Kids got the same rights different chances
He who in heaven said advantage advances
He postrace you like an airport scan is
I got cabbies wanting me where the clan is
Shutter when they … double standards
Eating away if the discourse like cancer
Far from post racial, so hateful
Hates peaces, give a man a job on cable
...boxes, lost toxic, why watch it, I fix through their eye sockets my optic
The president is black so he's an ex factor
We on the next chapter, they trying to step backwards
Class war created, more deport hated
Success rate and skin color still correlated
You now even don't wanna talk about the N word
I wanna know why ideas your sister
Wave word is, down for the card is
I'm about to say fuck it, run for artist
It's the same thing, I saw yesterday, we need a better way
Cause ain't a thing changed
We have comfort we're not there yet
We're on the stair steps it's not fair yet
It's the same thing, I saw yesterday, we need a better way
Cause ain't a thing changed
And we still struggle, we ain't reclaiming
Gotta keep working, let's keep climbing.
BILL HICKS: LIFE IS LIKE AN AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE ROUTINE
The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun ... for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
And we ... kill those people!
We always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus - murdered; Martin Luther King - murdered; Malcolm X - murdered; Gandhi - murdered; John Lennon - murdered; Reagan... wounded.
But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
Mark Devlin is a UK-based club and radio DJ, music journalist and author, specialising in R&B, hip hop and dancehall. Over the past nineteen years, he has produced and presented radio shows, DJed in clubs all over the world, produced mix tapes and CDs, and contributed to market-leading music magazines. He’s also just written his first book!
His early years in the rural backwaters of Oxfordshire were far from an ideal breeding ground for a career in urban/ black music. But the strong influence of a school friend saw the young Devlin getting turned on to the sounds of 80s soul, funk and early hip-hop at a time when all the other kids were just into whatever was in the charts. From that point, it was clear which way he had to go.
From his early days in background production for Fox FM in Oxford, (where he won an Independent Radio Advertising Award for his work on a station promo,) Mark’s big radio break was on Galaxy 101 in Bristol, where he presented the flagship Friday night urban show for two and a half years. From there, he moved on to Oxygen 107.9 in Oxford, where he presented two weekly shows with MC and co-host Kid Fury. The shows involved interviews almost weekly with hot artists from Busta Rhymes to Beenie Man.
Club-wise, Mark’s early residency at The Park End Club in Oxford paved the way for DJ work throughout the rest of the UK, including spots at such prolific London events as Smoove at Ministry of Sound, Fresh N Funky at Hanover Grand, and Twice As Nice. He has also featured on the bill of The Southport Weekender, and played at the world-famous Notting Hill Carnival.
More recently, he has branched out internationally, already spinning in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The USA, (New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, San Francisco), Japan, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Ibiza, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Belgium, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Jersey and Ireland! His most frequently visited territories are South Africa and Germany, where he has built up loyal fanbases. Mark’s resulting Diary blog on his website has come to rival any international travel magazine.
In addition to the DJing, Mark has drawn on his background as a magazine editor, and for almost ten years edited the Clubhoppin’ section of Blues & Soul, the UK’s market-leading urban music magazine, as well as contributing to other titles.
2009 has seen MD maintaining on the radio with a weekly show, ‘Just Buggin’, on Oxford’s FM107.9. It has also seen him adding ‘Author’ to his list of job titles, having just completed his first book. ‘Tales From The Flipside’ is a witty collection of anecdotes and stories from the front line of the DJing game, which neatly turn the common public perception of superstar DJ lifestyles on their head. It’s available now via www.authorhouse.co.uk with background info. at www.myspace.com/talesfromflipside
