Trenton Makes the World Takes.
Saturday, April 11th, 2009A little New Jersey Old Time hip hop stuff from Poor Righteous Teachers. Out of Trenton NJ, my favourite part being the bridge that says ‘Trenton makes the world takes.’ Duly noting its once glorious manufacturing history. Now it is is mostly a downtrodden rust belt town, with govnt offices (it is the state capital) that wealthy suburbanites commute into. These guys had a political angle that tried to mobilize inner city people to take back their city through self pride and self direction and control. If memory serves me correctly they were coming out of 1990. And plus the tune is just plain infectious…. makes me want to dance upon a bridge with some funny type pants on or do the electic slide a little in front of the state capital dome with a beret on. If memory also serves me correctly some guy emerged from an alley at one point when i was there to try and sell me a massachusetts drivers liscence. No thank you i said.
