I understand why people don't maybe get the music. But the messages (you must listen to the messages), in this music, is something to behold ... and like Eightball said, cherish.
This is why folk, rasta, soul, old hiphop, punk, those kinds of music are important to me. They are political ... Most kids seem to understand only the struggle for their next pair of sneakers, their next car. These trinkets aren't really valuable, they are a diversion. What I seek is something more cerebral.
