Action Quote by Yusef Komunyakaa
“I originally wanted to embrace the imagery and forthrightness of rap music. There are some interesting, dynamic voices in rap. But I find most of it irresponsible in its overt violence and commercialization of anger. As artists, we believe we can will action through language. If that's the case, we have to take responsibility for what we say.”
![“We come from the days when rap used to agitate the mainstream. Now it's more buddy-buddy. That doesn't sit well with me. So what we need is [a bit more] street politics, bringing up issues, agitating you a little bit. And nothing can agitate you more now than a terrorist threat.” quote by Ice Cube](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/026/ice-cube-912_agitate_we-come-from-the-days-when-rap-used-to-a_1611646.jpg)
