Malcolm’s book, By Any Means Necessary, which is a collection of speeches, interviews, and letters by Malcolm X. It’s different from The Autobiography, which was actually written by Alex Haley. It was published in 1970, after he died, and it’s the raw material–straight from Malcolm.

We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.

Another sample from the movie, Shogun Assassin. .

In a sense, Shogun Assassin is composed in much the same way as Liquid Swords: material from different sources is chopped and spliced according to a narrative logic of its own devising, with voices, synths and electronic beats added afterwards by the RZA and 4th Diciple. Shogun Assassin was edited and compiled from the first two films in the Lone Wolf and Cub series, using 12 minutes of the first film, Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance and most of Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx, Which followed the path of the Shogun’s former executioner turned revenge-seeking assassin, accompanied by his three-year old son in a wooden pram.

That dialogue is said to the 3 year old child, born in a mess similar to the situation of a child born in ghettos, engulfed in gang violence, drug dealing, etc.

En 2002, Le 83 est monté sur scène lors du gala de l'ADISQ en 2002, « empruntant » le micro à Guy A. Lepage pour passer leur message. Suite au discours de 2 Faces, un jury fut créé pour l'élection de l'album hip-hop de l'année à l'ADISQ.

O.D.B., défunt membre du Wu-Tang Clan, avait fait de même lorsque Wu-tang avait perdu le titre de l'album hip-hop de l'année face à Puff Daddy en 1998 aux Grammys.

“Wu-tang is for the children”

“Yes man”: A sycophant; an obsequious assistant or enabler.

Yesmen are fake people who stick to you just for your money and/or fame. They laugh when you laugh, laugh when you crack jokes (even those who aren’t funny) and always agree with every opinion you say or how good your new shit is. They are assistant/friends that dickride you.

After a good hump, there’s nothing like a good piss (and get out before the lady notice)

Note that it’s the way dogs mark their territory: this is my lawn (or here, my girl).

This line point out how determined Kendrick is to get to the “highest mountain”.

Getting to the top is no easy task with everyone that will try to get him down (diss him) but he’ll keep fighting rigorously to the top.
