Roots: Breaking Kunta
Famous scene from the mini-series Roots based on the book by Alex Haley. Kunta has been captured after his escape and is finally broken by force by the overseer. He is given his new name which destroys the last relics of his homeland that he will never see again. Yet hope still remains, for us all.

The Roots - Why (What's going on?)
Great song from the album The Tipping Point. Probably the most insightful hiphop lyrics you'll ever hear: WHY?? [6 x's] Sky's the limit so you know I'm gonna rise and shine I gotta do my thing, I'm kinda getting a little tired of all that's hidden That's the reason I'm a speak my mind, keep from going insane Now work with it, we in the last innin' The world keeps spinnin', my peoples steady losin' while the rich keep winnin' It's like we neva smilin' and the devil steady grinnin' killin' what we representin' Even our children and women, 2K4, livin' above and under the law Young teen joins the marines, says he'll die for the core Inducted up into the goverment's war as if the land of money and oil Funny how ain't none of it yours I can't sleep yo I'm paranoid, it's code orange It's far from right, I guess that's why it feels so wrong To see the world get stripped out of every resource And people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of the gods What's goin' on? WHY?? [6 x's] Keepin' your head above water, hustlin' to survive Some people chasin' a dream, others just chasin' a high Some people blind leading the blind, they chasin' a lie Some people chokin' backs broken barely makin' it by But still they workin' all they live, they pushin' for the light Givin' everything they got to stitch them swooshes on ya Nike's Puttin' pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them rings Rewarded with small change and bullets in they brains And it makes me feel strange everything we take for <b>...</b>
The Roots "Sleep"
First tune off undun, ft Aaron Livingston produced by Hot Sugar Video Directed, Shot & Edited by Clifton Bell for www.ghettonerd.com undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
