Godfathers day is 24/7 for this very imperfect father of an equally troubled son. Begins with police bust of apartments in Chicago south side public housing at a time of upheaval and anger over court ordered no knock sweeps.Hip Hop style narration over James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Two voices inside one head echo desparate internal dialogue of father watching son follow his footsteps through hell.
Ends earily with unnatural sounds. This piece (as well as surge in Baghadads) can be remixed and shortenned to meet technical specs and standards.

My ThoughtsSometimes it's hard to understand what the speaker is saying, but the sounds and rhythm and the words that do pop, leave me with a wary feeling. |
