Rap gone political ?

"Why did Bush knock down the towers?"

No it's not me asking it. This is a line in a song called "Why?" by a rapper known as Jadakiss. The line has caused alot of controversy recently and has been edited out on some radio and video spots, including MTV (duh).

Now, I may not be the biggest fan of Dubya, but I don't think he knocked down the towers, but that's a whole other story for another day.

Jada had this to say about the line in the song:

"I just felt had something to do with that," Jadakiss says, referring to the events of Sept. 11. "That's why I put it in there like that. A lot of my people felt that he had something to do with it."

That's just great Jada, but why make a song called "Why?"

"I was thinking, 'What's the one thing that everyone has in common? Questions.' Everyone asks why, so I decided to write a song asking questions that everyone wants to,".

Wow, this guy is good. He makes so much sense. Hey, what else you have for us Jada?

"I wanted to make a song that could appeal to a broader — and not only the hood," he says. "I wanted to make something that would touch people at home in white America."

(translation, his album sales haven't been that great, he wants more money)

You go girl. I am touched.You've hit me at home there Jada.So much so I wanted to see what other questions you asked in your song "Why?"

Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin Crist'
Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch

Is everyone with me on this? These are all questions I'm sure we've wondered about from time to time. Oh wait! There's more. . .

Why ain't you a thug by choice
Why are you even alive
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner

If i knew I could get all my political news from a source like this, why read or watch the news? Can anyone be taking him seriously? That's just sad if they are. If you are trying to make a political point, why throw it in there with all that other garbage. The line in the song is nothing more that a controversial money maker. That's why it's in there. Eck.
So, I now leave you off with another lyric from this world renowned political pundit, humanitarian and philosopher. This is from a song called "Show Discipline":

Now gangstas live, gangstas die
Grab ya guns, soldiers ride (show discipline nigga!)
Kill ya moms, kill ya pops, kill ya seed
Kill ya girl (Its principle nigga!)
Sell ya crack, sell ya coke
Sell ya E, sell ya smoke (you hustlin nigga!)
Grab ya nine, grab ya pound
Grab ya tec, grab ya pump (you bustin at niggaz!,wha)
