Christina's Pick: "Superstar" by K-Os 

"Yo the year is 2002.

It's the end of the jiggy era

People on the planet Earth, 

are tired."

The video for this song begins with a small manifesto from K-Os on the dying art of hip hop. I wonder if K-Os feels the same way, or if for him, hip hop has evolved into something today that still makes it a worthwhile medium of expression for oppressed groups and minds (I think so). Also, doesn't 2002, post-9-11, mid-Bush, start of Iraq almost just feel quaint compared to 2017?

People on the planet earth,

are still, 

tired.
