Boots Riley has a gift.
Like some of the best comedians, some of the most effective speakers, the man can say something real, hold our head to something unjust, but do it in some compassionate/humorous manner so that it doesn’t simply push us away. He’s not attacking us, the listeners, but he does go after parts of the world we create.

It’s call-to-arms lyrics and playful humor riding along swangin funk and danceable boombooms.
It’s Revolution Funk, y’all. But it ain’t no Parliament.
