When I first saw this video I almost skipped right past it due to the cornball acting that it opens with, but I stuck with it and was rewarded with a tremendous beat and some surprisingly competent lyricism from an emcee I had never heard of before, Phillip Morris. Hailing from Chicago, Phillip's approach to rhyming mixes political content with punchlines, comic book references and grade school level vulgarity. Chuck D meets nerdcore, if you will. It's a unique style, to say the least, but Morris' technical skills make it work somehow.
