ta-nehisi coates - what gangsta rap has to say to the gentlemen

MOP was basically made for moments like this. The best part of a joint like “Ante-Up” is that normal rappers talk about how their going to shoot you, or some such. MOP takes it a step further—Kidnap that fool. Not buck that fool, kidnap that fool.

After a rough day at work, after getting a ticket you didn’t deserve, and yeah, after hearing Pat Robertson slander whole nations, there’s really nothing left to do but pour yourself some Henny and play the most violently egregious rap song you can find.
