See what the rapper wrote on his website below and tell us what you think...
Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to see your country portrayed
as poor and suffering and full of struggle? It burns you, does it not?
To have some foreigner- who knows nothing of your history and pain, of
the stories that flow within your blood- to have this foreigner come in
and tell your story? Is it not the height of disrespect and
insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown
to cover your other wounds?

Does it not make you angry? We should wax sanctimonious about national
pride being slighted. We should vent our displeasure online. We should
occupy something. Because God forbid the truth ever be told about what
things really are. God forbid a stranger reminds us about those things
we choose to ignore every day.
God forbid we ever face the truth about ourselves. God forbid we do not
go on the internet and rail about how our country is being cast in bad
light. God forbid we do not talk about how there is a small minority
which lives better than portrayed. God forbid we do not ignore truth one
more time. God forbid we don’t.
