Pathos is defined as the quality or power in an actual life experience or in literature, music, speech, or other forms of expression, of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion. After hearing "Me and Jesus…" pity is an understatement.

Cars and Shoes was entertaining…reminiscent of Easy-E, but as a whole, I’ll pass on Coup. And to think, Mtume was blasting us last week on how Blue Scholars was mundane. Coup is no better. Though I give them credit for bridging the gap between Bone Thugs and Harmony and Outkast with their material.

That video was a really bad idea.
