"The price of freedom is death"

Killer Mike is trying to get Guantanamo'd with his video for Pressure (featuring Ice Cube). And that's "Guantanamo'd", as in Guantanamo Bay. But you know what? I love that he has the guts, knowledge of history, and intelligence to put out a song and video like this. It's obvious he's not concerned with selling records but with opening people's eyes. We need artists like this to offset those that don't address these issues at all or sound un-educated or delirious when they make an attempt. Props to Killer Mike!

This video is probably the hardest shyt since Nas's Be A Nigger Too video and I'm loving both of them! Also, it was a nice touch putting O'Shea on the track.

Just off the visuals alone you want to go and smack the hell out of the first "ignant" azz person that says something reckless in regard to Black folks.


Somebody get Killer Mike, Cube, and [hesitates...] NaS in Barack's Cabinet. By the way, where was NaSiR when this was being recorded?
