Remember dead prez said "Turn off the radio, turn off that bullshit.... What's on the radio? Propaganda, mind control And turnin it on is like puttin on a blind fold Cause when you bringin it real you don't get rotation Unless you take over the station And yeah I know it's part of they plans To make us think it's all about party and dance And yo it might sound good when yo spittin you rap But in reality don't nobody live like that You want to know what kinda nigga I am let me tell you bit the nigga I'm not I don't fuck with the cops Platinum don't me that it gotta be hot I ain't gotta love it even if they play it a lot You can hear it when you walk the streets How many people they reach How they use music to teach A radio program ain't a figure of speech Don't sleep, cause you could be a radio freq" - M-1

When Let’s Get Free came out it was everything to me. It embodied my entire personal growth at the time as I was around. 20 from becoming more culturally conscious to becoming a vegetarian. This song Mind Sex connected to what I started to value in my attraction to women and that is a mental connection. To know what’s inside of her spirit. Honor to Dead Prez for this masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥

When I first heard this I told my self if they drop a video and make this a single it's going to be huge. Boy was I wrong. It was the beginning of the dumbed down, oversexualized era and signs of things to come. Fast forward to 2021 and you see what state we are in. This song was ahead of it's time and at the same time too late. Maybe if it had come out 5 or10 years earlier, it woulld have had the impact I thought it would have. Maybe it will become a classic 20 years from now when we get pass this bs era we are in now of s3x based only on vanity. Wishful thinking
