November 19, 2009
Tell Me More, NPR Public Radio
In this In Your Ear segment on Michel Martin's Tell Me More NPR News Program, Professor Paul Butler finally realized his life-long dream of being a music critic on NPR!
Paul discusses some of the songs that he's listening to now, such as Lil' Wayne's Misunderstood, which features an extended monologue about overincarceration, KRS-One's Sound of da Police, an old-school track in which KRS criticizes police authority and practice, and Erykah Badu's Danger, which describes how family members of incarcerated persons "do time on the outside."
An MP3 of his appearance is available for download or streaming below.
