      kids these days have no respect for the greats of the genre sankara-shining

      just kidding I’m not gonna gatekeep Sankara lmao, he’s an African revolutionary from Burkina Faso who did phenomenal things for his country, was universally loved by the people, and then got assassinated by a counterrevolutionary coup orchestrated by the French. Here’s one of my favorite speeches of his on women’s liberation and here’s (YouTube) a good short documentary about him.

    You cannot kill the Metal
    The Metal will live on
    Ouédraogo tried to kill the Metal
    But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
    Traoré tried to kill the Metal
    But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
    Compaoré tried to kill the Metal
    Ha-ha-ha-ha
    They failed, as they were thrown to the ground!
