Black Thought – Noir (mp3 download)
Black Thought shares a new song titled Noir. The Roots lyricist returned with a new track released in honor of Black History Month. Thought attacks the instrumental with a lyrically dense and detailed tale.
“He went from cradle to grave, he’s been a king of the slaves,” raps Thought. “The menagerie of America, he was made in it, instead of waiting for Superman, his people had a plan.” As Thought’s story progresses, new layers line the instrumental, complementary in their cinematic scope.
The obsession with race is disturbing to those that wish to divert attention away from the unyielding attributes that have plagued black America…However, we all must realize how such disenfranchisement has negatively affected us all. We are all equal and we are all human; we all have something to say and something to contribute; essentially, we all deserve to be heard, recognized and respected.
That being said, our celebration of Black History Month brings us closer to understanding the struggles and contributions African Americans have made in making America what it is.
