About two months ago, I created a playlist that revolves slightly around activist type songs.

The name of my playlist is Negus.

idk why but I was really slow and only got around to listening to TPAB this year.

I went to this event locally and bought a shirt with the word "Negus" on it. I had no idea what the hell it meant. So I got online and did some research which lead to me listening to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. For those that don't know, near the end of his song "i" he decides to explain Negus to the masses at a concert.

- Straight from Wikipedia.

Kendrick Lamar - i


I follow that track up with The Dream's Black. He released this song as a response to Donald Sterling but it just covers the climate at this moment in time. He also basically touches on the fact that Classicism is the new Racism. I only half agree with that. I feel like they both go hand in hand. I love the fact that he mentions the song "What's going on by Marvin Gaye". I ended up looking up that song to add to my Negus playlist. I have more songs from the playlist but will only do like two at a time and explain why they are on the list.

The Dream - Black
