Mos Def: Mathematics
tales of the hood, and the struggle, talking about how hip hop is to talk about unjust circumstances the hood is faced with.
Children can't add, or focus in school yet can play the playstation
kids are out late at night, have guns on them
black circumstances: crack/drugs, jail, victims of police brutality
Talib Kweli: Hell
Heaven/Hell on earth
Religions and branches of Christianity are all the same
religion creates division
ghettos are equivalent to hell
Lauryn Hill: Motives and Thoughts
corrupted systems
the mind is to remain closed
Modern day wickedness, lie to your neighbor to get ahead
Tupac: Changes
tired of being poor and black
police brutality "pull the trigga kill a nigga he's a hero."
"misplaced hate"
jails filled with blacks
change the way we see each other
NWA: Express Yourself
expressing self, now in jail
easy to be what society want them to be
all about expressing self
be true to self
Biggie: Juicy
