Not to leave out a gansta rap version of Strange Fruit. I doubt that 
anyone who does rap even knows who Billie Holiday is. The point being 
that a song that wants to address an injustice can do it a way that 
delivers a stronger wallop via its subtleties. If Strange Fruit was 
written today it would have an extra verse telling the listener to go 
and kill a cop!
