"The problem with conspiracy theory is to believe that there is one particular group of human beings who are in control of my destiny. That's a philosophical extreme to which I don't wanna go. On the other side, it's obvious that people do conspire. That there are conspiracies: secret forces behind outward political shows of power. It is clear that there is not one single known politician in America who has any real power at all. They are simply working for big corporations and economic interests like oil, or the global market itself. The best model is, that there are many, at least several conspiracies and that they interlock, that they compete, that they melt into each other, that they separate from each other. If we wanna know what's going on -if we wanna understand history as it is happening- we should know something about these conspiracies. Again, critical consciousness is a useful tool here."

A little something about Jay Dee: Jay Dee was one of the most original, talented and influential producers of all time... not to mention author of countless classic verses. It seems strange to say this about someone you don't personally know but I can't remember a time when someone's death, even a friend's, has affected me more. As lover of hip hop and a lover of music I think I speak for many when I say his loss is a tragedy. So, I'd like to take this little space right here to pay my respects to someone whose work I appreciated and admired for nearly a decade, someone who made me hear music in a totally different way, someone who I considered a true master, a living legend, and a genuine inspiration... Jay Dee rest in peace
