A Tribe Called Quest's New Video Captures the Exact Mood of Right Now

La políticamente cargada "We The People" ahora cuenta con un inspirador video que describe las protestas masivas en norteamérica.

Seven days ago, A Tribe Called Quest released their sixth and final album. Today, we've been blessed with a video for "We The People", one of the most politically searing tracks on the entire record.

"All you Black folks, you must go," goes Q-Tip's main hook, "All you Mexicans, you must go / And all you poor folks, you must go / Muslims and gays, boy, we hate your ways" – extracting the raw grotesqueness of the rhetoric that has infiltrated American politics, particularly over the last 18 months, and turning it on its head. The accompanying video – which features Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Jarobi White and a mural of the late Phife Dawg – shows a mass civilian protest slowly breathing into life and taking to the streets of America in a show of strength and unity.

With daily protests against the election of Donald Trump taking place across America, it feels fitting that it would be A Tribe Called Quest who step up to capture the exact mood of right now in such a poignant way.
