As a musician, I’ve come across countless songs that have left a lasting impact on me. However, there is one particular song that holds a special place in my heart – “Eat It” by the New Jacks. I first heard this song during my teenage years, and its powerful lyrics and energetic beats resonated with me from the very first listen.
“Eat It” was the lyrical debut of MC Double M, also known as Eminem, and was released in 1988 when he was just sixteen years old. This song showcased his raw talent and set the stage for his later style of dense rhymes and intense wordplay. The New Jacks EP, which included this track, served as a launching pad for Eminem’s successful rap career.
“Dear Mama” is the song that made it OK to admit: even if they kill people and sell drugs, deep down, thugs are all sensitive mama’s boys.

Look around you in this studio right now. I have women working on my music. They understand where I’m coming from. So does my mama. I always play my music for her before it comes out. Why do you think I wrote ‘Dear Mama’? I wrote it for my mama because I love her and I felt I owed her something deep. (2Pac, 1995)

“Blue Suede” is the lead single for Vince Staples' 2014 Def Jam EP Hell Can Wait.
The track opens with a blood-curdling synth and couples it with the bone-breaking thump of Me & the Biz Born to Roll.
There’s been much speculation as to whether this song is an extended metaphor of the hood life, a mockery of fake rappers that portray that image, or Vince just being Vince.
In the chorus, Staples repeats the line “New shoes with the blue suede,” using blue suede shoes as a metaphor for material possessions, a symbol of status and success. He juxtaposes this image with the line “young graves get the bouquets,” reminding us of the violence and tragedy that often accompanies the pursuit of these material desires.
Absolutely love Eyedea, R Eye P. I have thoughts like this but only with the assistance of altered states such as dreaming (actually more like half dreaming), meditating, or taking certain substances, I wish I could record them at all, let alone with this level of mastery of the written word.
A police state is one in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.

In their politically-conscious style of hip-hop, Dead Prez repeatedly call attention to the way in which Black America exists in a police state within mainstream US society. From the School to Prison-Pipeline, to the War on Drugs, to Prison Industrial Complex, to the stripping of certain rights or welfares for the formerly incarcerated, the lives of Black Americans are restricted and exploited through US government policies. In this song, they call for a violent but justified revolution against this systematic oppression.
