Monte Smith vs. DJ Premier Yellow Shirt

Don’t Shoot the Hostages is more than just another "conscious" or “radical” poetry book. It’s an outspoken contribution towards the clarification and understanding of: Race, White Guilt, Religion, Police Brutality, The Real Drug War, America the Plantation, 9/11, The Prison Industrial Complex and Local/International poverty issues from the perspective of the Revolutionary, The drug dealer/addict, and the common man and woman. "In Coup-like Fashion, Monte’s writing is a Molotov Cocktail headed straight for the government. His words are on fire." -BRUCE GEORGE Co producer of HBO’S Def Poetry Jam
