Chris Rock does the political thing really well, but that never worked for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Rock helps me communicate directly with the people because rock doesn't lie, and people are fed up with lying politicians.
Chris Rock is a very funny man.
I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.
I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.
You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
I don't think I ever write songs involving politics, because they get dated way too quick. Any view you have can usually be made into something more general, and that can stand throughout time.
A lot of political music to me can be rather pedantic and corny, and when it's done right - like Bruce Springsteen or Jackson Browne or great satire from Randy Newman, there's nothing better.
When you're onstage with Chris Rock, anything can happen. He is one of the greatest comic geniuses we've ever seen.
Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.
I like Chris Rock. He's dangerous.
