- Lyrical genius

- changed the game for ever!

- Uses him fame for globe reason and looks at the big picture!

I think we can let him get away with smoking

(Helpful hint)...When interviewing the Celebrity let THEM speak. DON'T finish The sentences for them. You cut yourself short. You may miss a tidbit of great info.

I love seeing this again now with everything that has happened since this interview - like the Occupy movements are showing how pervasive that automatic suppression response is in the police force. Yasiin has so much knowledge and love to give...can't wait to see him in another few years!

@MrRealTlkz This... Yes.. Thank You.

[olliemcleod]

@MrRealTikz completely agree with you

as much as i enjoy the comforts of supermarkets.. the internet... second cup.. modern medicine

i wish to live to see the day where this system collapses and humanity is forced to start living WITH the planet instead of ON it.. i'm in university right now because i need to be part of the system to provide a life for my future family.... but i think people were "happier" when they grew and hunted for their own food with their own hands.. like the rest of the species on the planet

Can anyone explain the part about policy being pervasive? I don't quite understand what he means by that. To me that sounds like he's saying policy spreads far and wide. But that doesn't seem to make much sense

@jleemixtape78 ok. 1st.I have no idea what you are talking about, but i guess you can relate to sterotypes just like i do lol.2nd. I can honestly say i am not trying to write a book, or be a english major, so u can kiss my bad grammar ass for all i care. 3rd. I am a college dropout why cuz i have to work. 4th.Ive been around black, latino, white, stereotypes all my life. last but not least 5. mr. definitely is fucking retarded. So what? i wanted to be black for one day give me a break...lol

@Sense0with0humor you sir are extremely ignorant. Just reading your racist rant has lowered my IQ. "slang retarded talking"?! That just does not make sense. Grammatically you come off sounding like an underachieving 6th grader. "food stamp purchasing", apparently food stamps are purchased and African Americans are bipolar?!?! Someone needs to study up on their stereotypes! Please learn how to use "..." correctly, and learn to spell "fuctard". It's sad that people like you exist
