It is my claim to be the new school Ice Cube. No other rapper has the balls to say what I say. We as black people should not be putting the blame on the whites but making black politicians, social and religious leaders take responsibility and accountability for selling out their community and the police department are the state sanctioned killers of blacks. This song speaks to the case of Sean Bell in NYC, the police that killed a 92 year old grandmother in Atlanta and the black leaders that supported Hillary Clinton. Ice Cube speaks on the private prison industrial conflict (AKA the new plantation). - KM
El P and Killer Mike's chemistry on this album works very well. Their "Fuck the World, we do what we want attitude" is also a highlight of the album. George Graphy
