Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This is a stunning collection. I was absolutely floored when I received it in the mail as I was not expecting the three volumes to come in its own hefty slipcase.
Chuck D manages to cover so much ground in these novels that are a little bit more like graphic journals. I feel like every time I open a volume up I am seeing some thing new about our world and society at a very specific place in time. What doesn't Chuck D manage to examine? He takes a look at social media, basketball, politics, COVID, international news. It's unvarnished and wonderful.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. In this three volume series, Chuck D comments and draws on some defining moments in US history: corona virus, Trump, technology and more. In Volume 1, appropriately titled "There's a Poison Goin On!", Chuck D chronicles a couple of months of the corona virus. His comments and illustrations are honest and enlightening. Volume 2, also appropriately titled "45 Die of Read October" chronicles Trump's presidency and his 2020 campaign. His drawings and comments continue to be honest, bold, and enlightening. The last volume, "Dataamber Mindpaper. . ." focuses on technology, our attachment to our technology gadgets. On the back cover, Chuck D had this to say "I don't recall any service going down while everyone was locked down. Makes you wonder about all the 5G talk and how maybe they had to stop the world in order to get a new reboot. One thing we know is that humans are attached physically and emotionally to their gadgets and AI is never gonna get dumber. . .as humans will." Whether you like or dislike Chuck D, his statement about AI is true, his thoughts and comments about the corona virus and Trump are thought-provoking, and certainly worth reading. I loved this series and I was very glad that I received this set from the early Reviewers. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. An interesting book outside of my norm. Still I'm glad I received it, since I would probably never have looked at it otherwise. My grade is just a personal grade of how much I enjoyed it. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I wasn't sure what to expect with this collection. I'm an avid reader of comics and graphic novels, and I've always respected Chuck D's politics and ways of making them heard. But I'm not otherwise a Public Enemy fan - I saw them once on a double-headliner bill with Sisters of Mercy in the early 90s and I was definitely there for Sisters of Mercy. But whew, this collection is really something. The book is reproduced just like the author's journal pages would've been - you can see the watercolor stains seeping into the backs of pages (so the collection is all single-sided), and you can see the notes he writes in his own hand. The first book starts with the emergence of COVID19, and proceeds from there, covering maybe 2 years over the entire collection. Parts of the narratives are clearly him saying his piece about a (maybe fake) split with Flavor Flav, and parts you can just see his sorrow and rage at a failed US state under a lousy president during a worldwide pandemic, as well as his memorializing a number of people who died over that timeframe. You can see his sorrow that rappers get publicity when they're shot and not when they're making incredible art and music, and you can see the wisdom of someone who has lived this life for many decades and not seen nearly enough change. Much of the collection is written in a rhyme scheme that enables you to practically hear him reading to you in your head. On another note, the publisher of this book absolutely put everything they had into it - the production is excellent. The pages are not only made to appear faithful reproductions in color and style, but the actual pages are heavy stock, like real watercolor paper would be. It's really a well-done piece of work all around! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book is essentially a collection of three illustrated journals by rapper Chuck D that are set in 2020 and 2021. The first volume is all about the start of covid and some beef he had with Flavor Flav that I never could quite get a handle on. The second volume is all about the 2020 presidential election. The third volume is about stuff that was happening a few month into the Biden presidency. The art is okay. Chuck D is a rapper, not a professional artist, and I'd rank his drawing ability at talented amateur level. As far as the writing goes, the first two books were pretty good, as covid and the 2020 election were interesting bits of history, but volume 3 was kind of just a boring mishmash or random stuff. Overall, I'd say this is mostly going to be of interest to fans of Chuck D and hip hop in general.aucune critique | ajouter une critique
ONIX annotations:Chuck D (Public Enemy, Prophets of Rage, etc.) brings his personal insights and social critiques to the page in fierce, passionate, and evocative visual art and prose in this limited edition box set? ?Legendary hip-hop artist and social activist Chuck D has used every opportunity in his groundbreaking career to stand up for civil rights. His rap group Public Enemy is widely regarded as a revolutionary act both in terms of its impact on hip-hop and its use of music to impart a message of race and class equality. The band emerged from the late 1970s/early '80s coalescence of rap, punk, and street art into hip-hop music culture on the East Coast. At the time, Chuck D had completed his BFA in graphic design, and while his music career exploded, his passion for visual art never left his heart.?In February 2020, he turned his gaze once again to the page, and began to fill three 5 x 8 journals with his written and drawn reflections of a world beginning to unravel. STEWdio: The Naphic Grovel ARTrilogy of Chuck D recreates format of his original art, combining three full-color paperback bound books into a beautiful box set. The box set is the inaugural offering from Enemy Books, the new Akashic Books imprinted curated by Chuck D.Spanning the onset of COVID-19 through the first year of the Joe "Bye-Don" administration, Chuck D lends his powerful artistic voice to one of the most tumultuous periods in American history, and puts it in a capsule. Like the neo-expressionist graffiti art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck D's energetic "Naphic Grovels" marry text with drawings, commenting on contemporary events with the same activist instinct that propelled Public Enemy's "music-with-a-message" reputation. His inventive, Amiri Baraka-esque language and accompanying art is also occasionally used as a tool for introspection, providing unparalleled insight into one of the most important cultural figures of our time.Each journal follows a distinct period in Chuck D's (and America's) life; There's a Poison Goin On chronicles the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, from February-April 2020; 45 Daze of REaD Octobot??follow the days leading up to and the aftermath of the historic 2020 election; and Datamber Mindpaper, which focuses on the early days of the Biden administration.?No song may be more reflective of 1980s America than Public Enemy's "Fight the Power;" no document may come to capture our COVID era like Chuck D's STEWdio.
