the only John Pope that i know of is a Union general in the Civil war that lost at the second battle of bull run. and i don't see how he was a bad man... he supported freedman's rights not to mention He called for better and more humane treatment of Native Americans during his time spent out west.
Now President Robert Mugabe on the other hand is a killer, his policies have led to economic collapse and massive starvation over the course of the last ten years. But that could be blamed on war and drought.
i really don't get why mas decided to put down John Pope, do i have the wrong John Pope? or should Nas read up before referencing someone in a song?
