I could have sworn I tried to post this hip hop song a year or 2 ago but couldn’t find it online in decent quality, which is weird because this particular upload claims to be 4 years old. Anyway, I used this song in my honors thesis on hip hop lyrics, because it uses two examples of intertextuality: the poem at the beginning, and the chorus. The introduction is a recitation of the poem “Antigonish” by Hughes Mearns, and the chorus of this song is based on the chorus of the song “Honestly Okay” by Dido (another artist I’ve posted music by). It's a good song, but in case you're sensitive to it there’s profanity n’ stuff.
