Mumia 911 was a benefit EP that came out five years ago. It wasn't even a Roots song, Black Thought just contributed a verse (along with Chuck D, Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae, dead prez, and a whole heap more). The reporting here is hysterically bad - my guess is that they just downloaded a mislabeled mp3 and failed to do any checkup on it. The funniest thing is that they didn't even include Thought's verse in their transcript of the song!

And I agree with Shockzilla, The Roots should definitely pull out a special Hip Hop 101 when they do this show...

"Why do they say I changed for a girl
Why you worry about my clothes if my flow gon change the world
Why you wait 'til you're 30 to try to be hard
Why I gotta have religion if I believe in God
Why is Bush acting like hes trying to get Osama
Why don’t we impeach him and elect Obama
Why ain't Rick James remembered for classic hits
Why do we remember Rick for smackin' a *****
Why did Ricky Williams retire, they mad in Miami
Why did Justin sell Janet out and go to the Grammys
Why you kill on every song while you frown at the screen
There's so many thrones, why we argue who is the king
Why it's over for the gangsta, why it's over for bling
Why they hype Britney up, they know she can't sing
Why a whip and a chain the black American Dream
Why I know it in my heart, it remains unseen"
