papoose ft. saigon - head of state -- representatives of the freshly reactionary new york: papoose, sounding perfectly 1996, getting pitch, tone perfect and still sounding enthusiastic, loud, and saigon, credible as fuck, ratface and big prison biceps, nativist tendencies, telling us to get the fuck off the south's dick and respect the real. this is the why? rip, watery r&b hook about "the head of state is lying ... cause the worries multiplying ..." and papoose sounding like conspiracy theory nastradamus ("bloomberg make a million a week, he's a communist"??) and a reliable, honest talib kweli dude and then just breaking down into anxious wordplay. saigon pretending to do the thug spitting a political verse style, calling out america for promoting homosexuality and telling black people to play the stock market.
