A Hip-Hop Trayvon Tribute

A Hip-Hop Trayvon Tribute
Thu, 5/17/2012

In honor of Trayvon Martin, the hip hop dream team of dead prez, Mike Flo and Yasiin Bey - p/k/a Mos Def - assembled to let a few bars loose over Nas' classic, "Made You Look." The resulting tribute, "Made You Die," is even more powerful when accompanied by video, in which all three wear hoodies to show their solidarity. Lyrics like, "Now let's put it all in perspective / before the outrage burns out misdirected / what can we do so our community's protected?" encourage listeners to be more more proactive and to do more than just protest.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
