This is america.

[Ryko]

There is no reason to lie, cheat, steal... unless you wanna be awesome.! But don't f*** people over to get to the middle! You betray everything america is about. We didn't throw Britain's tea into the ocean because we wanted to be a mediocre country. We didn't let those fuckers line up in a line and then shoot them in the back because we DIDN'T want to be one of the best countries in the world. And we're not giveing china an IOU because we plan on actually paying it back. This is america, the land of opportunity to fuck people over. To take what isn't yours, but only if you plan on getting to the top of the mountain and waving what you have, and that they don't, in their face.

Land of the three

All this stuff about making everything "equal..." it's not that simple. Now you've got this book "Native Son." What happened to the other books in the course? They're not good anymore because Mr. Two Ph.Ds says so? Now you got to trade great books for black books? Does that make sense? You gotta question these things, Der. You gotta look at the whole picture. We're talking about books...but we're also talking about my job. I've got two black guys on my squad now who got their job over a couple of white guys who actually scored higher on the test. Does that make sense? Everything's "equal" now, but I've got two guys watching my back...responsible for my life...who aren't as good. They only got the job because they were black, not because they were the best. Yeah, is that what America's about? No, America's about the best man for the job. You do your best, you get the job. This affirmative action crap--I don't know what that's about. There's like some hidden agenda or something going on. You see what I'm saying?

You don't give money to the bums on a corner with a sign, bleedin' from their gums. Talkin' 'bout you don't support a crackhead, whatchu' think happens to the money from your taxes?

[Ryko]

Makin me want to play some brother ali.

[Kiro]

Been listenin' to US. He just gets better and better.

[Charismatic]

Welcome to the united snakes.

Thanks to whichever one of you guys turned me on to Brother Ali... damn, never would have heard of him without BG I think.
Not sure why no one around here talks about him.

[Kiro]

Gotta keep the good shit to yourself sometimes.

[Ryko]

Mostly myself, kiro and day bumpin him. He's pure quality though, everyone should be able to appreciate his stuff from at least one perspective.

Besides being able to make a library of artists you listen to / like, you can put your zip code into a venue schedule and it'll show you who's coming to town.
