Back in October 2016, Dr. Umar Johnson sat down with VladTV to talk about mass incarceration and legalized slavery, activism in sports, and Jay-Z’s potential to enact social change. “If Jay-Z wanted to, he could do more today than a Dr. King or a Malcolm did 40 years ago.

“Youngins ice grillin’ me, oh you not feeling me/Fine, it cost you nothing/Pay me no mind”

“I’d rather die enormous than live dormant”

“They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way/But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day”

“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.”

“Swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gon’ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt”

“No one said it would be easy, n**** livin’ is work”
