My FAVORITE hip hop song ever. By far two of the best MCs ever, Mos and Talib can write the best lyrics, very great stuff. This song is basically about how the African culture is slowly transcending into a white one without realizing it, "Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive" "Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game " Also about how rap/hip hop nowadays is controlled by white CEO-industry type people who use the rappers such as Chingy as their pawns, which gives rap the bad name. Rap has so much potential I think and if Mainstream America will realize it then they will see the true meaning, not this "Get Low" Crap, and people like Mos Def and Talib are bringing it to a wider audience.
