Kan’, Duh
The Christian overtones make this album the splendor and grandeur that it is. Just as America is not a white nation; though people lacking melanin predominate the nation. America is not a Christian nation; despite the number of Catholics, Protestants, and Non-denominational constituents that outnumber non-believers in the United States.

Medusa
The lyrics for Medusa are as followed: Pop a pill, they say it helps, but they’ll never understand how it felt, knives up and down my spine, now I’m getting pretty pale, zombies hypnotized conversation getting pretty stale, can’t be the same no, I’ve seen past the veil, I’m covered in tracks this train has derailed, I am medusa and this must be hell, demons pursue me, I’ve fought tooth and nail.

Rap
RAP- A MISUNDERSTOOD ART FORM The reality is that rap music is greatly misunderstood. The media often portrays rap music as negative and focuses on rap music more when it is related to something undesirable. Many media stories identify rap music as a catalyst in problems such as teen pregnancy, crime or some other negative social issue that existed long before rap music became prevalent. The truth of the matter is that there is rap music that is positive and can serve the purpose of improving social consciousness by increasing awareness of some of the issues that many residents of our nation’s inner cities face. Just because a rap artist speaks of less than desirable subjects in his or her music does not mean that they intend to corrupt the minds of the audience. Rap music is entertainment and should not be treated any differently than any other form of entertainment out there. The bottom line is that all rap music is not degenerate and consideration should be taken when analyzing the message that the music is presenting.
