Paris - Don't Stop the Movement
By Lulu McAllister, XLR8R, October 20, 2008

"Don't Stop the Movement," off of Bay Area rapper and activist Paris' forthcoming album, Acid Reflex, touches on issues of black-on-black crime, police brutality, war, politics, and negative influences in the entertainment industry. The style of his video combines the 3D-animated anarchy of Grand Theft Auto with the urgency of a breaking news report from "FOXSNBCNN" news channel. Within this framework, a montage interweaves real footage of soldiers and starving children with spoofs of generalized rapper stereotypes (including a clock-adorned Flavor Flav look-alike). Over these clips, bold phrases mirror a condemnatory speech playing over the funky track. With this complicated audio-visual collage and his honest vocal delivery, Paris effectively captures the apocalypse that is now.
