My art is a reaction (one of many) to the countless and varied inspirations I encounter. This is an informal collection of such things, too scattered and far-reaching to be condensed into a single label. See my art: shaungribouski.com Ask/Tell me something.

Bun B Interviews Fishbone About Rock, Hip-Hop, & Musical Apartheid | Complex:

Both of them [Hip-Hop and punk rock] were started by the kids that were told, “You’re never gonna be anybody.” Both of them, the general theme was “You can’t tell me who to be. You can’t tell me what to do. I’m gonna do me regardless.” To me, that’s what I get from punk rock. And both genres were geared to giving the oppressor the finger. You feel me?

Brazil troops and police raid Rio shantytown in clean-up drive | The Guardian:

I just hope they seriously care about this and it won’t be neglected after the World Cup and Olympics. I know that the traffickers have their evils, but you could still go to Rocinha, Vidigal, and other favelas for parties or whatever and not have problems. But who knows what’s going to happen now when the police take these communities. I feel more comfortable around gangsters with guns than around police with guns. By some estimates, Rocinha has 250,000 people. That’s like taking over an entire city in one pre-dawn raid…

Eles […] são um reflexo das UPPs. Sem o tráfico e sem fuzil, quem quis continuar no crime teve que usar pistola e roubar pedestres e carros. —O Dia, 11/23/11

[They are a reflection of the UPPs (police pacification units). Without traffic and without a rifle, those who wanted to continue in crime had to use a pistol and rob pedestrians and cars.]

Something that I’ve often thought about in regard to the “pacification” process of Rio’s favelas—is the lack of traffic going to drive up street crime? No-name traffickers don’t have to flee before the occupation, so you’re left with a bunch of low-level criminals without work. All this UPP stuff looks good on the surface because they’re pushing the traffic out the slums, but maybe they should spend more time addressing the poverty. People wouldn’t be turning to crime as much if there were things like a reasonable minimum wage.
