Seriously, picture what you would think of such a man if he was flesh and blood like you and me ) This book really showed how tragic, dark and ( most of all ) INSANE he really was. ( Picture CNN running a story about a real life millionaire that dresses up as a giant bat to beat up thugs. Batman as a character has always been as crazy as the people he hunts. Matter fact I would say that the wave of grimy superheroes from “Spawn” to the new volumes of “X force” owe their dark overtones to this book.
DRAKE FIND YOUR LOVE VIMEO MOVIE
( Including the aforementioned Tim Burton movie ) This was the book that turned Batman into the grim, brooding hero he is today. Nah Nobody had even explained the concept to me at that point I just knew that something in my mind had been altered by this book, never to return to it’s original shape.įrank Miller ( God bless him ) had deconstructed the Batman mythology so intensely in this book that over 20 years after it’s inception it still informs much of the versions of Batman seen today. That was the moment I first experienced what a mind fuck was. When I turned 11 years old and I came across a copy of this in the local Giant store, I bought and read it. I had seen the Tim Burton take on batman before but even the darkness there wasn’t enough to erase the image in my mind of who Batman was. Batman was a “Good guy” in every sense of the word. Before that, It was the Super friends adventures and stuff like that.
Batman was represented by Adam West, zany plotlines and BAM, POW and BANG!!! flashing on the on the screen during the fight scenes. Once past, nothing can fit the image/idea/sense of what it used to be any longer. Now check the video below and let us know your thoughts. and here's a nice close up for ya (awesome photography by the way). And then folks trip out when dudes get banged up. What the fuck do you expect to happen when you do this shit? Seriously. But this shit is as archaic as religion and saving it for marriage. Look, I fucks with Spanish/Latin culture.
But what of the 6 or so bulls that are killed mercilessly each fight? So what was the first reaction? Rush the dude to hospital. Not only did the bull's horn go through dude's throat but it came out of his mouth. Now this was a particularly horrific one, as you're about to see.

However, for those who ain't already know, a bullfighter in Madrid, Spain was murked in the throat during a recent fight (check the link for full details), as is bound to happen when you taunt a bull with a red flag and stab the poor beast. So this might be old news, so please forgive me if that is the case. I'm a little behind on general shit that happens due to my lack of interest in mainstream media. So this is some messed up footage, but I think an important point is made here. I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on this, folks. It's nothing short of ageism, which is one of the most ridiculous biases in the modern era, as it puts the youth on a pedestal over experience and wisdom. Just because shit hasn't come together for someone by the time they're 30 - whether they're an MC or in a band - doesn't mean that they should automatically kill their dreams. But my worldly (or not so worldly) point of view as a 23 year old, according to Havoc, is more valuable than the me of today? I've learned so much over the past few years that I finally feel I'm ready to deliver a solid product that is worth people investing their time and money into.
Now, if I had have had a 'break' when I was 23, I know for a fact that there is NO WAY that my music back then would be anywhere near as solid as it is now. I'm now 29, and I've been rapping since I was 15, but only taking it seriously since I was like 23 or 24, and really seriously since maybe 27. Who the fuck says that the point of view of a 16 year old is more valid than that of a 30 year old? Coming from Havoc, a respected MC/producer who dropped his first album at 16 (with Prodigy, Mobb Deep's 'Juvenile Hell'), this is an interesting point. Before I even get started on my rant, check the video below of Havoc from Mobb Deep's thoughts on rappers getting their first break in their 30's.Īlright.
