I just wrote up how I cut “George Bush Don’t Like Black People” in under 24 hrs back in ’05. No SoundCloud, no Spotify—just a TiVo full of Katrina, a smoky Canon GL2, a beat-up PowerBook, and a metric fuck-ton of rage. I synced TV corpsespeak to Legendary K.O. / K-Otix’s CC track, slapped grimy titles, exported a crusty QuickTime, and hurled it onto the Internet Archive. We embedded it on subMedia, the NYT linked it, and the site face-planted from traffic.

Point is: remix isn’t a genre, it’s a weapon. When the state abandons people and corporate media gaslights, jack the feed and make your own damn video.

Uploading Rage: The DIY Birth of a Viral Katrina Remix | Amplifier Films

In the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina (landfall: August 29, 2005), I made a remix video sparked by Kanye West’s live remark on September 2, 2005. This is the behind‑the‑scenes of how it came together—gear, grit, politics, and all the messy human feelings.
