Going after the fourth lyrical facet of conscious thought, Baltimore’s Bossman reflects on the racial tension between blacks and whites. Starting with a sample from Martin Luther King Jr.‘s famous I Have A Dream speech, the Boss brings up social news stories like Don Imus’ “nappy-headed hoes” comment, Michael Richards’ n-word laced comedy club tirade and the Jena 6 drama. He just wants to know When Will It Be Over? Citing the collaboration between artists like Eminem and 50 Cent, Bossman shows how wonderful it can be when blacks and whites set aside their differences and work collectively. Rarely is music this poignant found in Hip Hop, so if When Will It Be Over is any indicator, look for Bossman to stay on course for years to come.
He is a legend. After living in Baltimore for 6 years now, I have always completely respected this dude, he is much more talented than half the rappers out there, there was always a day I knew he would blow up, 'Law and Order' man, if you don't have that album, cop it. This song is great, it shows America that racism is such a shitty occurance and should teach you guys something. My favourite rapper by far...Its the bulletproof B!
Finally...this is just a breathe of fresh air from all of the generic money/gangster driven songs on the site lately. He speaks so much truth that any REAL hip-hop fan will appreciate. Word!
feel this a 100% for the message and dude has talent!
nuff nuff respect for someone that will do a song like this . deserves 10-10 because music or sometimes more about the message then anything else but this is back up with good music! what a message even if he was just talking on the street or at church to a bunch of his boys or a group of diverse nation audience " this is still powerful".
i really like this. it actually got sum content and stuff that aint just tryna flash money. u really gotta listen to what he sayin and im glad the background ppl and the beat aint overshadowing him.
ok this song is beautiful.. but everything else i hear from this dude talks about money and b@#$%es sooooo is this wat he is really about? but this song itself is the truth and nothing short of it.
This is a good song, the only prob for an Italian like me is that I can't understand what he says (rappers talk too fastly)so I get bored coz he doesn't sing but only rap...btw hot background music!
