As someone born in 90s -This is deep. He was speaking to my grandparents (college aged at this time) and next up was my parents. And this is so true, they were preparing to be in the middle class, outfitted just to be a communicator of a facade. Unfortunately, my people/my village didn’t progress too far, but I am changing this. And his son is doing a phenomenal with our city, IMHO. I look forward to working with him soon.
This Gentle man, was one of our most articulate poets As a nation, and i argue,( i had to correct the spell checker twice to confirm "lower case" i's, (un-paranthesized), was the Abraham of Rap.
Because the environment that oppresses you prevents you from reaching enlightenment, from reaching a true positive transformation! So by acting the part, by participating within the environment with the desire to transform it, you actively transform yourself.
We can only change so much within the purposeful limits of capitalism. I can only be what the systems and institutions allow me to be; in order to transform myself, I have to change what allows me not to.
This Bro. is vomiting all this rhetoric about not supporting the "bourgeoisie", and watched his own son aspire to be, and to become Mayor of Newark, New Jersey. These fake ass revolutionaries from the 50's and 60's were pathetic.

I saw him in the 90s. He informed us about gentrification!
On point
The old LRS comrades were such inspiring speakers, a shame the League dissolved and they scattered.
Tell me brother.
Dude
Why not transform you?

one is social also
Transform your self, transform the world
