8. "for the sarcasm-impaired"
In response to In response to 7


  

          

yes, i WAS being sarcastic when I said the "poor people who are stupid die quickly" line was my favorite.

my point?

kweli is far from the angelic figure you all seem to think he is on the mic. his lyrics have their fair share of gun lyrics, sprinkles of misogyny, glorification of drug use, and even the occasional materialistic line.

so why is the verse listed above any surprise?

for me, the only thing that deviates from his prior lyrics is the pimp/whore line. that was obvious pandering to pimp rap fans (who a lot of people assume are synonymous with Quik's audience, although Quik is more versatile than many think).

Peace,
