Just A Minstrel

Paradise Gray directs this scathing critique of the current climate of rap music featuring Jasiri X, Isada Tariq and Living Proofe and produced by Idasa Tariq. I edited the video myself so whoever got a problem with it let me know...but you know it's true

LYRICS
Living Proofe
I know the people fell in love with the jive and shucks
N!gg@s do anything for a line of bucks
nip tuck for the video clown you up
Youtube or the Vimeo wound you up
hit the club get it poppin
as bottles and cash droppin
world going green we clean and do the moppin
quick to serve a fiend we dream of pork choppin
steady on our lean it seems we just stopped
and stagnate attract Bullsh*t like a magnet
N!gg@s ain't tough they just hip swinging fagg@ts
candid camera n!gg@s with bandannas
watch to much TV with no manners
I'm not with it like a fake ass fitted
call me Joe Clark the way I fix up the art
better yet Van Gogh just lettin yall know
all you brand new b!tch made rappers got to go

Just a Minstrel
On TV acting a fool and always showing off ya teeth you're
Just a Minstrel
How can it be you'd rather die in the streets then ever try to be free you're
Just a Minstrel
On CD say it's entertaining when it's degrading to me you're
Just a Minstrel
Why can't you see the lullaby you're singing's putting us all to sleep N!gg@

Idasa Tariq
I'm looking in the mirror
with the hammer in a my hand break the image of the N!gg@
to the murder rate you're a figure
to the cops on the block you are just a coffin with a trigger
chalked out another body on the sideline
25 for the Black man is the time line
so sad we ain't pleading for help
Sambo Sams damn we just killing ourselves
forget shackles and chains now they supply it
we just walk up in the store see the bling and buy it
tell our women they got to be sexy and thick
and that they only gonna make it as a video chick
really it's sick how the hell we fall this far
Willie Lynchin to the rhythms that we bump in our cars
suicide when your rhyming on ya ring-tone songs
dumb n!gg@s gold grills with the Blackface on you're

Just a Minstrel
On TV acting a fool and always showing off ya teeth you're
Just a Minstrel
How can it be you'd rather die in the streets then ever try to be free you're
Just a Minstrel
On CD say it's entertaining when it's degrading to me you're
Just a Minstrel
Why can't you see the lullaby you're singing's putting us all to sleep N!gg@

Jasiri X
No need for Blackface just ignorant rap takes
and feminine mcs that are sweeter than snack cakes
spineless in need of a permanent back brace
saying cheese so they stay in the lead in this rat race
weaker still if they don't show every teeth in they grill
these dudes ain't keeping they deals see what I'm speaking is real
no wonder they be needed them pills
to behave like a slave when God gave free will
check the record here's ya contract step and fetch it
women were your tightest better yet dress naked
that's if you expect acceptance
a major label deal with the best connections
as long as they don't' detect a message
if you don't dumb it down than your intelligence questioned
and I turn on the TV and be damn confused too
Is this BET or the movie Bamboozled

Just a Minstrel
On TV acting a fool and always showing off ya teeth you're
Just a Minstrel
How can it be you'd rather die in the streets then ever try to be free you're
Just a Minstrel
On CD say it's entertaining when it's degrading to me you're
Just a Minstrel
Why can't you see the lullaby you're singing's putting us all to sleep N!gg@
