Let’s have Ari play the
hip hop version of “Name That Tune”
By feeding him politically-minded hip hop lyrics and having him guess the song and artist. Whether or not Ari guesses correctly, we’ll have him provide a little commentary on the words and how they still may apply to today’s current political landscape.
Some lyrics for reference:
Public Enemy
"Fight the Power"
'Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for four hundred years
Kendrick Lamar
“Alright”
When you know, we been hurt, been down before, n***a
When my pride was low, lookin' at the world like, where do we go, n***a?
And we hate Popo, wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, n***a
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow but we gon' be alright
Tupac
“Changes”
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Geto Boys
“Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster”
So voters of the world keep supportin' me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
To all you Republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
