About this Quote

This quote by Saul Williams is a commentary on the existing state of hip-hop. He is comparing the existing state of hip-hop to Fox News, suggesting that it is prejudiced and unreliable. He is referencing the words of Chuck D, who notoriously called hip-hop the "black individuals's CNN" in the past. This contrast suggests that hip-hop has actually altered ever since, and is no longer a trustworthy source of information. Williams is recommending that hip-hop has ended up being more prejudiced and less trustworthy, and is no longer a dependable source of news and information. He is requiring a return to the days when hip-hop gave reality and understanding for the black community.
