HARAMBE死了。
-by Captain Paul Watson
（翻譯：周明璟 Sophia ）

因為一位不負責任、怠職的母親任由自己四歲兒子嬉戲墜落動物園猩猩柵欄區，大猩猩Harambe被射殺慘死。

請大家想一想。
這位母親任由她四歲小孩攀爬過隔欄墜入15呎深的猩猩欄區。先不說裡面有隻大猩猩，小孩爬過欄杆到失足墜落的過程中，這名媽媽到底在幹嘛？

她該被控告疏忽怠職及虐待兒童(Child Abuse)。身為家長我亦無法理解為何事件發生時其他家長竟只呆站和尖叫。若是我一定毫不猶豫跳下去，且我最擔心的不是猩猩而是小孩墜落15呎深的可怕傷勢。身為家長無法想像為何竟讓小孩嬉戲亂晃，這名媽媽在簡訊嗎？還是忙著用手機聊天？
這名母親要大眾尊重她的隱私。她感謝老天爺和上帝讓她的寶貝回到她身邊。女人，救你小孩的不是老天。是大猩猩HARAMBE試著在幫你的孩子！然後某個持槍的白痴決定以多數美國警察和保安人員處理事情的方式，以致命武器射殺HARAMBE。

Harambe死了，就在他才剛歡度17歲生日的隔一天，因為辛辛那堤動物園的無能無知。如果他們了解大猩猩習性。他們就會發現HARAMBE不但完全沒有要傷害小男孩的意圖甚至於在保護小孩。
我們看到一隻大猩猩保護人類小孩的無比愛心。這樣的善意得到的回報竟然是一顆子彈。

因為一群自私圍觀人的尖叫聲引發了恐怖心寒的處置-Harambe死了。當時管理員在哪？他們一定會看見Harambe毫無惡意。該死的動物園請來的是什麼無知的懦夫？

Harambe死了，野生動物根本不該被囚禁在人類的動物園。

Harambe本該和同伴生活在非洲低地森林裡，過著大猩猩無憂無慮的生活，而不是被抓來當作奇異表演秀的主角，被無知自私的人類逗弄、觀賞、自拍。
這樣扭曲的生態讓我看見人類的可悲。
Harambe被愚蠢、無感的人開槍冷血屠殺。

動物園為了脫罪在聲明中說「大猩猩暴力的拖行和甩弄小男孩。」目擊證人表示這並非事實，若是這隻400磅的大猩猩有傷害他，小男孩怎麼可能很快的出院且毫髮無傷？

Harambe會死就是因為人類囚禁動物只為娛樂自己。

可想而知動物園將祭出名人Jack Hanna來引導輿論。他們在人命和猩猩的命之間做了對的選擇。

錯！小男孩並不會被猩猩殺害，事實上過去也從未有猩猩殺害小孩的事件，即便在野生環境這種大猩猩是友善的。

Jack Hanna拿了錢來誤導輿論。如果他瞭解猩猩習性，他就會知道Harambe做了什麼。

那個手被Harambe溫柔握著小男孩呢？他目睹了友善溫和保護自己的大猩猩在眼前被槍殺，只因為幾個愚人把Harambe當做金剛、還以為自己在拯救美人。小男孩將承受什麼後遺症？

當我知道這高尚的生物其實試著在幫助小男孩，他的善意卻被回以子彈，我好難過，我的眼眶濕了。

我對辛辛那提動物園、槍殺Harambe的人、還有引起這次事件的肇因者-滿嘴荒謬藉口的失職母親感到厭惡。

我為小男孩感到可悲，成年前他必須和失職讓他落入猩猩柵欄的女人相處14年。而那個溫柔握著他小手的猩猩Harambe已經死了。

這個事件讓我非常憤怒和難過，或許，或許這位母親真的是疏忽。但沒有動物該因為人類而慘死。

HARAMBE IS DEAD

Commentary by Captain Paul Watson

Harambe is dead because an irresponsible and negligent mother allowed her 4-year old son to fall into a Gorilla enclosure.

Think about that for a moment.

This mother allowed her “4-year old ” son to climb over a fence and approach a 15 foot drop onto a concrete floor. Forget about the fact that there was a gorilla down there, what the hell was she doing while her child made his way towards what could be a fatal fall.

She should be charged with criminal negligence and child abuse.

As a parent I find it incomprehensible that another parent would stand there and do nothing but scream. I would have immediately and without hesitation have jumped into that enclosure to protect my child, no matter the risks and It would not have been the gorilla that would worry me but rather the consequence of the 15-foot drop. But again as a parent I can’t even imagine how a 4-year old child was able to wander away . Was she texting someone or chatting on her cell phone?

Now this woman wants us to respect her privacy. She thanked the Lord for delivering her baby back to her. Well woman, it was not the Lord. Harambe was trying to help your child until some idiots with guns decided to settle the issue the way most police and security in America tend to settle an issue – with deadly force.

Harambe is dead, a day after his 17th birthday, because the people who run the Cincinnati Zoo are grossly incompetent. If they had any knowledge and understanding about lowland gorillas they would have quickly observed that Harambe meant no harm to the child and was in fact protecting him.

What we saw was an incredible act of compassion by a gorilla for a human child. An act of kindness and concern that was rewarded with a bullet.

Harambe is dead because of a bunch of ignorant human gawkers kept screaming, thus motivating the horrific response. Where were the keepers? Surely they could see that Harambe was not behaving violently. What kind of ignorant and incompetent cowards do they have working at that damn zoo anyhow?

Harambe is dead because zoos are no place for wild animals to be imprisoned.

Harambe should have been in the lowland jungles of Africa, with his own kind doing what gorillas were born to do and that means being a gorilla, not some character in a freak show so a bunch a gawking ignorant anthropocentric hominids can stare, tease, laugh, and take selfies.

I swear it is incidents like these that make me see how utterly pathetic and clueless human beings can be.

The killing of Harambe was cold-blooded, unprovoked and senseless murder and the fingers of those who pulled the trigger belong to a special kind of stupid.

The zoo feebly tried to defend the shooting in a release where they stated: “The gorilla was violently dragging and throwing the child.”

This was not what eye witnesses saw and the proof that this statement is a lie is the very fact that the child was released from the hospital shortly after, unharmed, and if a 400 pound gorilla was actually being violent there is no way that child would have remained unharmed.

Harambe died because we enslave gorillas and other animals for our entertainment.

Predictably the zoos trotted out their go-to apologist Jack Hanna to proclaim that the zoo did the right thing, that it was a choice between a gorilla and a human being.

No it was not. The kid was not going to be killed by this gorilla. In fact there is no case of a gorilla in captivity ever killing a child and these gorillas are actually approachable in the wild.

But Jack Hanna gets paid to spew such nonsense because if he actually knew anything about gorillas he would have understood what Harambe was trying to do.

And what about the child whose hand Harambe gently held in his own? What kind of trauma will this boy experience from seeing the gentle being who tried to help him gunned down because a few pathetic individuals wanted to pretend Harambe was King Kong and the they were stupidly trying to save Faye Wray.

What brings tears to my eyes, what makes me sick inside is the knowledge that this noble creature was trying to help, that he knew the child was in trouble and his compassion was contemptuously dismissed with bullets.

I am disgusted with the Cincinnati zoo, disgusted with the men who killed Harambe, and disgusted with this pathetic excuse for a mother who is the root cause of this tragedy.

I feel pity for the boy, because for the next 14 years or so he will have to live with this woman and with the knowledge that because she allowed him to fall into that enclosure Harambe, the kindly creature that held his hand, is now dead.

2014你可能沒聽過的十大饒舌專輯
by 林老師

2014的饒舌音樂整體而言是令人失望的一年。根據尼爾森音樂銷售報告指出，2014饒舌音樂的業績較前一年減少了約24.1%。主流饒舌表現乏善可成，繳不出一張足以代表2014的專輯。Wu-Tang Clan備受期待的”A Better Tomorrow”評價一般，Common, Eminem, The Game, The Roots的作品不是太實驗，就是火力不足。在地下，普遍公認的最佳專輯Run the Jewels 2太過”電氣化”，不合我胃口（我從來就不喜歡El-P），以往的愛團Army of the Pharaohs不斷複製過去哲學大屌歌曲風（每首十隻大屌在揮舞也是會令人承受不了），了無新意。即便如此，我還是在此整理出2014我最喜歡的十張專輯。這些專輯也許不出名，在諸多2014的回顧中可能也不會出現，但他們支撐了我繼續聽饒舌音樂的信念，讓我依舊相信 “Hip Hop is not dead”。

1. Gangstagrass - Broken Hearts and Stolen Money
南方草根藍調加上饒舌有搞頭嗎？這可不是Kid Rock不三不四的“Rock Rap”，而是正統阿帕拉企山草根藍調編制（吉他、揚琴、小提琴、斑鳩）與饒舌充滿創意的交流。歌詞訴說著白人藍領礦工的悲苦，草根藍調旋律與素來為黑人社區喉舌的饒舌配合起來毫無違和感。

2. Cunninlynguists - Strange Journey Vol.3
台灣有拷秋勤，美國有“舔B者”。早在Gangstagrass以草根藍調為節奏之前，來自肯塔基州的Cunninlynguists已經在取樣南方藍調或迷幻搖滾，反省批判所謂的“美國精神”。這張新專輯有意思的地方是在製作的過程中，他們不斷與歌迷在網路上互動，以投票的方式決定每首歌的曲風、跨刀的歌手等等。簡而言之，歌迷就是這張專輯的製作人。

3. Atmosphere – Southsiders
明尼蘇達知名地下廠牌Rhymesayers的創始人Slug與Ant所組的團體。Rhymesayers的出品幾乎都是品質保證。會知道這張專輯的原因是先聽到一首名喚“Kanye West”的單曲。戲謔但音樂性豐富的節奏，反映了整張專輯的風格。

4. Cormega - Mega Philosophy
QB最被低估的歌手。竊以為其實力不下“那廝”，但機運太差，一直沒有真正大紅。潛沈三年後，與Large Professor合作，創作出近幾年來連那廝都達成不了的純正東岸紐約專輯。

5. Main Flow - The Cincinnati Kid
Main Flow最大的問題是他的對仗flow實在太千篇一律了。但有別於同樣flow重複性過高的Vinnie Paz高來高去的歌詞，來自Cincinnati的Main Flow用心經營“地方精神”這塊餅，以這張專輯獻給他生長的城市。地方上的媽媽們最喜歡這種音樂了！

6. Dilated Peoples - Directors of Photography
從“The Platform”, “Expansion Team”這兩張專輯就深深愛上DP。光是打這兩張專輯名稱就讓我起雞皮疙瘩，因為實在太經典又久遠了。儘管之後沒有出色的作品，但Evidence的單飛成功也算延續了他們的生命力。暌違八年之久，這張專輯雖然沒有“Worst Comes to Worst”這種深植腦海的單曲，但以Babu、Evidence、Premier、Alchemist、9th Wonder為主的製作群仍能喚起人們對他們在2000年全盛時期的回憶。

7. DJ JS-1 - It is What it Isn't
來自Rock Steady Crew的DJ JS-1可不是一般的battle DJ。他操刀製作的首張專輯Ground Original至今仍是以製作人為名的饒舌專輯的典範之一。本專輯同樣找來大批饒舌高手輪番轟炸，類似風格只有Marco Polo去年的“Port Authority 2”能匹敵。

8. Apollo Brown Ras Kass – Blasphemy
來自底特律的Apollo Brown是近年來最紅的地下饒舌製作人。靈魂老歌曲樣是他的正字招牌。這種東岸的調調遇上西岸老屁股Ras Kass，竟意外地順暢。Ras Kass多變的flow與AB有時留下取樣原曲中的人聲的巧妙搭配，是這張專輯最大的亮點。

9. The Grouch x Eligh x Cunnlynguists - The Winterfire EP
蛋堡有冬季漫遊，地下廠牌QN5則推出冬季中的一把火EP。免費下載，宛如冬季中的一股暖意。雖然很不喜歡“文青饒舌”這種稱呼，但這張EP的確表露出饒舌柔和感性的一面。

10. PRhyme – PRhyme
正當我以為Cormega的Mega Philosophy已經是2014東岸饒舌的顛峰，年底時Premier與五九仔Royce發行的這張專輯又將東岸精神推上新的層級。若一定要我選一張2014的最佳專輯，大概就是這張吧。

祝大家新年快樂，Hip Hop萬歲
