The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.- Part 2.
Sarah Jones is a poet, an award winning playwright and an actress... and I think you could add comedian to her CV because her spoken word poetry is delivered in such a humorous way. The song "Your Revolution" is a hilarious take on the classic Gil Scott Heron song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" but this time the message is against the sexual exploitation of women in Rap music. It has some very funny moments.... but at the same time, there is a very serious side to her as she hits back at the misogyny within the mainstream Hip-Hop culture. DJ Vadim has added the beats and suddenly we have a classic song from the 70's given a new lease of life and a new message.... ironically, to the same people who were influenced by the Gil Scott Heron original.
Check out her fantastic live spoken word version as well - below the DJ Vadim mix.
