Quote of the Day
June 21, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill
“The prophet is without honor / In your own country people swear that you ain’t shit because they know ya momma” – Talib Kweli, “Let Me See” (Remix) w/ Morcheeba
In this line, Kweli draws from the Bible (Mark 6:4) and mixes it with ‘hood experience to drop science about the difficulties of being accepted at home for one’s achievements. I couldn’t agree more.
How many times have you heard someone say, “I knew that nigga since back in the day. He ain’t shit”?
