2. Nice track, though I'm not big on the whole 9/11 conspiracy bit.

The use of typography in the video is great though.

4. Yeah, neither am I.

I'm not sure how literally I take that lyric. It's more of an indirect connection they're suggesting, no?

5. Indirect?

I think parts of it are hyperbole but Jadakiss repeating "Bush knocked down the towers" is pretty direct.

6. Yeah, definitely.

I just thought since they didn't specifically articulate that part of the conspiracy, they may have meant it figuratively. Either way, it's a damn powerful song.

I'm not sure if the video is by them or has been done by somebody else, but the graphics are cool.
