I see this video at least two to three times a week. And every time it comes on, I don't turn it off and let it play. Maybe that's why that dramatic ass hook is currently stuck in my head like WHOA!

State of Shock.
A Moment of Clarity.
Words.
"The good news is that unemployment has fallen to "only" 9.5 percent. The bad news is that the jobless rate is down only because so many people have given up hope of finding work. Perversely, the jobless who aren't actively looking for jobs are not counted as "unemployed." Perhaps there should be a new category: "mired in existential despair." If anyone in Washington wants to know why people in the hinterlands are angry, one simple answer is that our political leaders seem to be so calculating and unmoved about the parlous state of the economy.
...All the spinning and counterspinning drives people crazy. And why shouldn't it? The employment numbers aren't just a monthly set of partisan talking points. They represent actual lives. They represent mortgages that might not be paid and college educations that have to be deferred; they tally mental health crises and broken marriages. Those sterile, emotionless figures speak of pain and anxiety. They mock our faith in the American dream.
...Our political leaders know that unemployment is on their constituents' minds, so they talk about it. A lot. But we're not seeing either party show the kind of courage that's really needed..."

Hip-Hop Quotables.
Words. For Your Consideraton...
"The people that hate Drake held his limited mic skills against him initially but have let those beefs drop. His flow is tight but unfettered, with punchlines that work as easy as a key turns a lock (“She was fine like a ticket on the dash”), and he gilds these verses with auto-tuned melodies. While these qualities rile detractors somewhat he proves himself completely capable of carrying a record vocally—he is an unobtrusive presence, at least sonically, which is more than can be said for many of his peers. He is pleasant. And it is not this unobtrusiveness that they hate, because it is unobtrusiveness that T.I. has made an art. What people hate about Drake has little to do with the actual music he makes and everything to do with the person behind it. It is not a cult of personality supporting Drake—we can all admit there isn’t much personality to make a cult around—but it is a cult of personality against Drake. They abhor this kid whose origin is not so much nebulous as both Jewish and Canadian, a well-fed born-rich child star, his cred unearned but infuriatingly immediate. This is not a charge of racism, xenophobia, or even classism so much as nonhiphophobia, these people terrified and furious that Drake has not earned the narcissism or pessimism he exudes. These people could most accurately be described as “haters.”"-Clayton Purdom, Cokemachineglow
