Adam Mansbach/J. Period Excerpt #6 - “Party and Bullsh*t” lyrics

SameOldShawn: You said you really liked the "Party and Bullsh*t" -- the use of The Last Poets -- somewhere I was reading about that -- because it totally reversed the intended meaning

Adam Mansbach: I don't know if I liked it, exactly. I mean, "like" might not be the verb I would use. But I use that as an example because it's such a profound flip of the original meaning and context

SOS: I wanted to bring it up because, when I talked to Abiodun of The Last Poets, who said that -- he's still upset about it

AM: I bet he is! He made a song that got turned entirely 180 on its head. He made a song saying, basically, there's not going to be a revolution cause motherf*ckers are too busy partying and bullsh*tting. And Biggie took it and made it a hedonistic anthem about partying and bullsh*tting. If you're not upset by that, you're either a real easygoing cat -- which Abiodun is -- or you're just not paying attention. So I'm not surprised that he's p*ssed
