BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

I have never seen anybody introduce anything very radical because they got an OBE and a word with the queen

The need to colonize a country in the old fashioned way is gone. Even in Iraq they will pull out. But Iraq will have McDonald's, Iraq will have American interests in there, America will be able to do its business there. They don't necessarily need to send in troops - they send in men in suits and they colonize the place financially. It's a cultural and financial imperialism

The way animals are carted around reminds me of the slavery of my people... The slavery of animals has to be ended too.

Rap comes from the oral tradition. The oral tradition gives voice to those who would've otherwise been voiceless.

This planet is for everyone, borders are for no one. It's all about freedom.
