Lupe Fiasco: "I wanted to flip 'Jesus Walks' when it first came out, and I did a record called 'Muhammad Walks' because I'm a Muslim, so I flipped it from a Muslim perspective."
"The well is running dry, the days of Malcolm and Martin have ended.
Our hope has descended and off to the side.
Waiting for the reinstallment of the revolution.
Because we are dying at the cost of our own pollution.
But God has another solution, that has evolved from the hood.
I present one who turns, the Fiasco to good."
'Superior' atheiest beliefs...as displayed by Bill here....will always prevent the acceptance of reality and truth. Props to individuals & artists like Mos Def for exercising their rights to speak up against the rubbish fed to us by fake politicians and governments....
and....erm...big foot comment was jokes...!
"Uncle Sam Goddamn", Brother Ali's riveting take on America's checkered past...reminding us of the American political system's addiction to war and that the taxes are an effective funding of crack heads...he believes that the actualities of life are more important to rap about...a true poet...with excellent flow...I can see the revival of true hip-hop...what do you think?!
Lyrically amazing track....he flips verbs and nouns so well..... bars that flow without seam, transitioning from detailed description to elaborate story to elongated metaphor fluidly.
