I read the book twice. Saviano exaggerates a bit at times, but I think it's normal since coming into such close contact with all that shit, after a while you lose control. From what he says, it seems like the only organized crime is in Naples, and the others are just miserable little crooks. Not that Naples is an easy place, far from it, but it’s also not true that it’s the worst place on planet Earth or the only one with such serious problems (and sometimes he writes as if the rest of the world is an oasis of freshness). Still, it remains a book worth reading twice, because on the first read it’s just an orgy of names and facts one after the other. Read it, maybe alongside "Napoli Comincia A Scampia" if you want to hear other voices on the subject. Anyway, I’m a big fan of Sandokan, the one & only. The review sucks because if someone is "shocked" by this film, it means they’ve lived their whole life without reading a newspaper, a serious essay on the Italian economy, or anything else that talks about the country we live in. Go back to reading Pokémon, or watch 3/4 of Maria de Filippi: maybe it will scare you less.

My favorite is The New Noise Theology. Shape is fabulous but more diluted.

<<here they get a bit lost along the way, only to never find themselves again...>> In the 80s, they were awful even for me, but in the 90s they made a comeback for me: try some albums, it's worth it. The album by the Acid Mothers Guru is definitely worth a lot. It's amazing: Kawabata from Acid Mothers Temple with Neumaier on drums. Really good.

<< For the rest, there’s an entirely acoustic rhythm section: >> Read the back cover better, connecting it to the credits in the internal booklet. They did play bass-guitar-drums, but you can feel that it didn’t happen on all the tracks. For example, "pass the mic," which is also a single, is all made with a sampler by the incomparable Mario Caldato ggièiàr. They might have added two of their guitar sounds on top, but it’s clearly made with electronic instruments and not electric ones. "Jimmy James," same thing, always Marione. "Stand Together," "Finger Lickin Good," Marione + them + others. But you haven't strayed too far; it’s definitely the most "played" album by the Beasties. And then there are "In 3's" & "Pow," for me their instrumental masterpieces. The live version of "The Maestro" on the maxi single (let's say EP) of "Root Down," released a few months after "Ill Communication" is fabulous. And for me, this is the best Beastie Boys video: Something's Got to Give ->

<< what Jung would define as a case of synchronicity >> yes. << because the music they made, unlike hip hop, certainly didn’t have a danceable beat, >> Another immense, mind-boggling bullshit that deserves the garrote. But why the hell do you insist on talking about something you don’t know? Did Italian rap in the nineties have a danceable beat? Where do you keep your ears, in the nightstand? You’re spouting an outrageous amount of nonsense, and moreover, in the review of a masterpiece, and even worse, proposing discussions on social commitment that have nothing to do with the author of that masterpiece. But, nothing. Do it in the reviews of the Ak-47, these discussions. At least you’d be spewing abnormally absurd stuff about something you don’t know, but you’d be a bit more on topic. <<< you should finally have understood. >>> I, I repeat, understood from the start. It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that I understand very well that you’re spouting nonsense.

<<< you showed that you don't understand anything of what I said >>> I understood perfectly well, it's just that for me it's an absurd nonsense. <<< in fact it was shared, besides by Lewis, also by others on this same page >>> To me, it really seems not. Everyone has shared the fact that social centers died in the first half of the 90s, because it's true. But no one says it was the fault of Rap, because it's an absurd nonsense. But since you are really stupid and can't read, let me quote you a couple. OCCULTO SUPERSOVRANO <<< Saying that social centers closed due to the spread of posse is just bullshit, >>> LEWIS TOLLANI <<< I believe that the Italian hc scene disappeared on its own, >>>. I also say yes, social centers died in the early nineties. Okay, but realize that Rap has nothing to do with it, your brain is mush.

The vehicle, not the message. But what message could a musician ever have? If I'm looking for messages, I go to the bookstore, not to the social center, and certainly not to a record store. The engaged musician is usually someone who doesn't know how to be either a musician or a politician. I'm not far from this type of thing; rather, I take it much more seriously than just hearing it on a CD. But beyond that, the fact that you believe the decline of social centers is the fault of Rap, trust me, that's hilarious. "Rap, the plague of Social Centers."

No no, I'm sorry. You're the older one, since you're so out of it. I’m not interested in your speech, I don't know how to tell you. I was only interested in correcting the nonsense you spewed about the review of a masterpiece, period. You never "discussed" with me.
