Seun Kuti highlights the arguably most important social problems of our times, e.g. government corruption, ignoring poverty and selfish interpretations of economic ideologies which exclude certain social groups.

He sketches his solutions to these problems musically. These solutions are honest, often simply operable and, for me, convincing.

He presents them in a non-dogmatic fashion which does not explicitly unite itself to any one specific ideology, e.g. socialism, capitalism etc. and in a manner which appears to provide options for discussion; that is to say, Seun Kuti does not give the impression of being a person closed to the exploration of his arguments for caveats (or indeed similar of others' arguments).

For me, Seun Kuti is one of the very few people, where I think that were more people to listen to him, humanity would progress at a rate rapidly faster than today - with regard, above all, to human rights.

A strong indication for his inspiration is documented in the following 50 minute documentary. A forewarning: from the opening moments, this documentary contains footage of musicians of the absolute sickest calibre tearing it up - if you are not familiar with extra-planetary mental experiences, this tunage will probably leave you incapable of motion for a minute or two due to the shock at just how funkingly magnificently these melodies pulsate.

Pivotal to the following man's oratory is, I believe, his selflessness in his acceptance and application of his own musical talent (c.f. part 3 on 4mins 50).
