With the help of Thought and producers Masters at Work, Jackson sends out a warning that echoes through physical time and digital space with an urgent message that has withstood the punishing, falling sands of life’s hourglass. The updated version of this poem finds Black Thought expounding on the sentiment Scott-Heron preached all those years ago. The production is from  Masters At Work (a.k.a. Louie Vega and Kenny Dope).","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
