to rustyshakle--i dont exactly think he was saying thats the way it is, or thats the way it was. hes just saying that to point at the stereotypes and supposed "historical facts" (which we cant even vow for the truth of) & how that, intergrated with the unfortunate disaster of 9/11, has caused these stereotypes to regain a type of birth and relevence in modern day culture. the fact that hes saying these so matter of factly is done with the hopes of making us realize how ridiculous it all sounds and to point out the obvious... that were all the same, essentially. BUT ANYHOW lupe is by far one of the illest rappers in this day and age... his lyrics are inspiring, thought provoking, and just fuckin sick. this song kicks ass, plain & simple.
