Song of the Day: "Cinemetropolis"

DJ/producer Sabzi and MC Geologic make up the group Blue Scholars, and are famously known for telling stories through their hip-hop music, particularly about poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor, and socio-economic justice. Today's song, "Cinemetropolis," is one of their latest hits:

This is the scene you been seeing all your life
The one inside a dream you repeated every night
For 24 frames every second through the light
Projected through the screen you been paying for despite
What you see and what you hear, contrary to your sight
Everything you ever learned that you never had to live
Might've heard from a story teller medium
Pictures, words, scriptures to cinema script
writing a verse
From this city emerges a new generation of babies
Who came out of the womb, glued to the tube
With plans and aspirations to prove beyond doubt
We are stars too, even if it's just cartoons
My animated hands that I got from the
Genes of my island native fam I could never not be
I'm here to make them scream like a Hitchcock dame
Whether analog, dig it all, shit is all the same
An American tradition, a narrative for fiction
