Paris- "Don't Stop the Movement" music video

The Bay Area's political and socially minded Paris returns to the scene with Acid Reflex, his first album since 2003's Sonic Jihad. The rebellious and ominous "Don't Stop the Movement" is the first single and video off the much anticipated album. As you can see by the subject matter of the above video, Paris has not lost his edge and continues to touch on the fear-mongering of an unjust government, police brutality, black-on-black crime and other pressing matters. However, in a bit of a contrast to his earlier work, Acid Reflex is also supposed to contain some P-Funked party jams.

Brief excerpts below
"Listening to Paris in 2008 is like walking on the edge of a razor blade. On one side of that slippery slope, the East Bay militant rap icon continues to espouse the anger and violent revolutionary tendencies he's famous for. On the other, as evident on his new album Acid Reflex, his music grooves and swirls and lifts. It seems clear that Paris' overall direction as a musician and beat-maker is heading toward club jams, so you balance somewhere between awareness and denial. . .

"The other big dose of positivity, and possibly the biggest news story associated with any album this year, is Paris' Golden Tickets. Three copies of Acid Reflex will have Willy Wonka-style Golden Tickets worth $10,000 each, good for education or housing. "We want to involve people, create value for our community," Paris enthused."
