10 Bars That Expose Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus is hands down one of the most heinous historical figures that our country still actively celebrates to this day. Not only did he not "discover" the New World, Columbus spread disease and brutally enslaved the Indigenous people who lived there for centuries and decimated their culture through mass murder. While actual history is swept under the rug to celebrate his actions on Columbus Day, we're going to highlight ten bars that expose him for the criminal he is.   

1. JAY-Z featuring Frank Ocean - "Oceans"

"I'm anti-Santa Maria / Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace"

2. Wyclef Jean - "If I Was President (Chappelle's Show Version)"

'Tell the children the truth, the truth / Christopher Columbus didn't discover America"

3. Lupe Fiasco - "Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]"

"An all-white Los Angeles, the dream of Mr. Chandler / Hope and pray they take Columbus Day up off the calendar"

4. Immortal Technique - "The Illest"

"My arrival is genocidal like Christopher Columbus / Exterminatin' races of whack MC's that walk among us"

5. Prodigy - "Without You [My World Is Empty]"

"F**k Christopher Columbus, the Indians was here first"

6. Angel Haze - "No Church In The Wild Freestyle"

"A lot of s**t you can't understand like where you come from in the motherland, or why Columbus stole my mothers land"

7. Nas and Damien Marley - "Ancient People"

"Ancient men traded cattle / Before Columbus was lost in travel, ancient canoes got paddled"

8. B.o.B - "EARTHQUAKE"

9. Vince Staples - "Trigga With A Heart" 

"Columbus is beloved / When the f**k will Malcom get a day?"

10. T.I. -  "I Believe" 

"That's why millions still behind bars today / Columbus day you believe a holiday / What about Capone and Doc Holiday / Lucky Luciano, John Gotti day / Bumpy Johnson and Larry Hoover day / Happy Meech day, Happy Tookie day / Happy Hitler day, sounds stupid aye?"
