Chuck D calls out Kanye, Jay-Z over 'Otis' lyrics
"While the commentary below the video he clearly states that it is not a diss but a "polite respect call to the troops." He asks that they take time in their raps to "reflect the people better." The people he refers to mainly belongs to the same disenfranchised communities who are competing daily for minimum-wage jobs, many teenagers of which 39.2 percent are unemployed, seeking a way to pay their concert tickets up to $300 and more.
Chuck D -- who made hip-hop history with politically-charged songs like "Fight the Power" as activist-inspired role models for the youth -- took to this new track to inspire this generation's leading rappers about the importance of relation to their audience."
anyone see this?
