1) Patterns

Talib Kweli Beautiful Struggle

The Revolution, navigation, rising up, “I try,” “beautiful struggle”

Personal and communal struggle, religion, pointless struggle, beautiful, religion dying

Church, personal relationship with god, personal struggle, relationship expectations

Where is spiritual guidance

“Around my way,” limited choices pimp = reverend, niggas = American, role reversals

A description, “let me paint a picture,” “Ghetto Show” the aesthetization of the ghetto

The Boondocks

“Nigga Moment,” “Grandfather’s fight,” cycle of self destruction, trapped in the cycle

“blind leading the blind,” “stupid killing the blind,” two old men

Anime, cartoon, different from other black cartoons, animation is a fight, child violence

Parenthesis, break in flow, “nigga moment” 3 terms, child narration, self awareness,

lack of self control, locked in to a decsion
