Common - Universal Mind Control
I’m not sure I can make it through this album all the way. It sounds like spiders are eating into the back of my brain. I need to hear some Missy Elliott or something else similar that I like, to make sure I’m not coming down with mind-shingles.
The problem is that the mixing/mastering of this music is designed to force us to hear it. It’s distorted, and as loud as is physically possible. Just as Mencius asks if there is anything you value more than your life, and just as businesses should recognize that profit is only a desirable second effect of accomplishing a good purpose, musicians should ask if attracting attention at all costs is wise.
