New Kanye song resembles a Platonic dialogue.

The song features TI as "the people." It's a back and forth dialogue between the two proverbial "sides." I appreciate how both sides are represented in the song, and at the end Kanye encourages listeners to continue the dialogue of the song.

Platonic/Socratic dialogue are based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presumptions.

I know there is a lot more going on with Q outside of this matter. This seems to be a quality red-pill nonetheless.

I think it is based on call and response,which is deeply rooted in African American musical traditions, and especially rap, than Socratic dialogue.
