So you're saying that modern rap doesn't adhere to the political bent sent down by revolutionaries such as Chuck D?
Exactly. PE espoused the empowerment of African-Americans by refusing to support the white, capitalist system.
Oh, I get it. While the current rappers are all about money and bling-bling and buying into the whole capitalist ideal.
Yep. There's a world of difference between "Fight The Power" or "The Message" and "Big Pimpin'."
I think the world is ready for Squirr-L and my new album "Poppin' a Cap in Enron's Ass."
The world will never be ready for Squirr-L.
