Yeah, I listened to that album a total of ONE time from start to finish and now it only comes on as a function of the shuffle option.
I am very picky about my political hip hop. I mean, rarely are the semi-educated "philosophical" emcees the ones who have compelling political identities. Surprisingly, I feel that the Kanye's, Raekwons, RZA's, the Jiggas-- of the world, along with obvious choices like Dead Prez-- end up being the ones with more sincere political opinions, and it's usually because they understand social dynamics and grew up in areas where race was a handicap from birth.
Much as I think Sole can shred, he will never know what the fuck he's shredding about.
