Talib Kweli is amazing, people who post on this website, will agree with me when I say this..
What I think and ponder about , when I review this song track is the “struggle”( everyday hardships ex. Bills, rent, groceries, and living.) that those suffering from poverty in the lower class go through and endure everyday on a daily basis, and what extent they would go through to compensate for it just to make it and survive. Most of these people let the system break us and bring us down, they cause us to fall into our stereotype and jump on the bandwagon. Sadly, that's too many of us.
It's also sad that channels like BET(Black Entertainment Television) that cater to young black Americans and MTV glorify this destructive lifestyle of getting drunk and prison tats. Whilst promoting it strongly. Or they make it seem like the “ultimate goal” in life is to get high on drugs, cars, and provocative/ promiscuous girls that seem to only know how to dance (can you call that "dancing"?!). The industry influences young musicians that fit this stereotype everyday, until the media is saturated with the “crunk” lifestyle and “bling bling” attitude.
I guess that's what he means by "attack of the clones"...#( 212)
WOOHOO,LEE
