Annotation
"Vietnam?"
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Annotation — Rap / Hip Hop Songs
Turntablism / East Coast Hip Hop artist, born 14 May 1972 in Queens, New York, USA. The song "Vietnam?" (Coup de Grâce # CGC5013) is an example of using the conflict as a comparison point to contemporary events, in this case Iraq War (2003-11) - it contained samples of US president George W. Bush speaking about the Iraq War, and so-called "Axis of Evil", and terrorism. The CD booklet contained an image of Bush on the back.
