    "comment": "Understated in Mos’ extensive catalog, “Ghetto Rock” is a great example of his many talents crammed into a three-and-a-half-minute song. \n\nAlbumism wrote that Mos’ lyrics “Speak language come straight from the gutter / observe the terms that we trade with one and other like - what's good, what's popping, what's cracking / what it is, how you living, what's happening / work songs that the slaves sang back then / the playground chants, with little girls clapping” speak to the soul of his artistry, as Minnesota transitions the beat into a hand-clapping call-and-response indicative of young black children that help bring life to deprived neighborhoods across the U.S..\n\nWatch the official music video here: https://youtu.be/lhvd4jPboyQ",
