The Future Now Resembles the Past by Kinte is the third installment in an Afrofuturist hip-hop trilogy. Part 1, The Future Is Ours, was the warning. Part 2, The Future Is Here, showed the future arriving. Now Part 3 shows humanity slipping backward, repeating the same mistakes it promised to learn from.This album tells a darker chapter where the Eden Protocol has not been activated, the last rainforest is decaying, the children of the algorithm become the system, and the future begins to look like the past all over again. But even in the collapse, the final track leaves a small glimmer of hope that the next generation may finally break the cycle.Samples come from Tubeway Army by Tubeway Army, Telekon by Gary Numan, and Warriors by Gary Numan.Track Listing and SamplesIntro (The Cycle Begins Again)Sample: “Listen to the Sirens” from Tubeway Army by Tubeway ArmyWe Were Warned BeforeSample: “This Wreckage” from Telekon by Gary NumanThe Future Now Resembles the PastSample: “Warriors” from Warriors by Gary NumanEden Protocol Not ActivatedSample: “I Dream of Wires” from Telekon by Gary NumanCities Under Glass Are CrackingSample: “This Prison Moon” from Warriors by Gary NumanThe Last Rainforest Is Now in DecaySample: “The Iceman Comes” from Warriors by Gary NumanChildren of the Algorithm Became the SystemSample: “Remind Me to Smile” from Telekon by Gary NumanNew Kings in TomorrowSample: “My Centurion” from Warriors by Gary NumanDigital Ancestors DeletedSample: “My Shadow in Vain” from Tubeway Army by Tubeway ArmyThe Oceans Came Back for Their NamesSample: “The Aircrash Bureau” from Telekon by Gary NumanBuild the Walls AgainSample: “The Dream Police” from Tubeway Army by Tubeway ArmyThe Children Still Remember the SunSample: “We Are Glass” from Telekon by Gary Numan#TheFutureNowResemblesThePast #Kinte #Afrofuturism
