During a segment of Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, the hilarious Ashley Nicole Black “investigates” privacy rights and winds up on a New York City rooftop with Talib Kweli, who reimagines his Kanye West-produced track, “Get By,” which touches on our surveillance state, and the benefits of encrypting text messages and consistently monitoring privacy. Watch the full clip above and revisit the original below.
Lock your phone with a passcode
Or what you’re downloading gets stolen
Basically be the black Edward Snowden …
The N.Y.P.D. put the troll in patrol
They online collecting everything we post from Twitter to Vine (R.I.P.)
Unencrypted apps let ’em have all your data that’s private
Like every dick pic that you text to your side chick
Your spy shit, they’re trying to take us fifty years back
Fuck your password, get ready for Revenge of the Black Nerds
