The powerful video for rapper Talib Kweli’s song “Distractions” is, in his words, “a love letter to the Occupy Movement everywhere." The song was originally inspired by the Arab Spring before the Occupy Movement even began, but once Kweli made a trip to New York last fall and saw the protests, he was extremely moved. “It was the most democratic, American thing I had ever witnessed,” he said in a statement. In fact, he was so proud of his hometown that he focused the video on Occupy Wall Street and the people in the camp. Be sure to add this song to your May Day playlists to get you through.
