I’m quoted in a New York Times Week-in-Review article yesterday, regarding the digital video made on the cheap and set to “George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People” by the Houston rap duo Legendary K.O.

Even if you don’t like the political sentiment of the piece, it’s clear to me that the feelings of rage and frustration behind the music and the video are authentic. And this video was, it is reported, assembled from sampled sources, set to the Legendary K.O.’s music, and distributed to the Internet for about ten bucks. That fact in itself is remarkable — the Times was right to see a story in that.
