Who says rappers don't pay attention to world events? Before Forest Whitaker took a disturbing turn as the charismatic/crazy dictator, Idi Amin was being immortalized in hip-hop lyrics.
For instance, Keith Murray spit on the song Whut's Happenin':
"The most homicidal words to come out of a human being
Mind state sick like Idi Amin"
And Chino XL said on It's My World:
"Resurrect Idi Amin and Hitler
Then sit around exchanging war stories to show whose mind is sicker"
Nas and Sauce Money also name checked the mass murderer in their songs.
