l day late, (
r the song focuses on a speech by Louis Farhan,
Nation of Islam leader.
Kam is just one of the latest converts to Islam,
1 he attempts to mix education and funk. Ice
ae's Death Certificate is the only album that efively
merged the two.
Cube was able to show his people where they
and where they need to be, without outright
aching. Chuck D has also had success in this
a in "Fear of A Black Planet."
"Made in America's" second track "Trust Noly"
has a played out P-Funk beat, and Kam's
v flow doesn't work. He should leave that to the
ster, Too Short.
On t.rark three. "Pull Ya Hoe Card." Kam has
same old tired lyerics used by wanna-be hard
lgstas. The style was great when it was origied
in 1989 by the D.O.C. Track four has a smoothe
seat tempo. It is Kam's pledge to the Nation of
am and actually has lyrics that seem original,
shows he is trying to remain true to his roots
i hood.
