when it comes to being a voice, i think Nas is more to the point than kanye. kanye says things but then he also wants to be associated with white people and their world.

Naw homie we on some African culture right now. 

Coming up as a young teen, I remember seeing more families together  back then than right now. Everybody breaking up talking about childsupport and being independent. In the US we young men are really in trouble because many of us do NOT go to school.

Kanye and Nas is on some get money stay free. Both them cats speak of things that other rappers skip over cause they trying to cross over and sell more records. So that's kinda how I am. I know I'm not the most popular person with everybody but I'll still reach a lot of people with my message. 

I don’t call my self African bc I’m not from Africa. Acts in the bible talks about prophets and in 13:1 prophets were called Niger meaning black. Where are the prophets from? Exactly my original black people migrated to Africa to spread their teachings. Go against expectations I am constantly told I will go no where and be nothing. This come from the mouth of many corporate white americans. Yet I constantly prove them wrong. People will not hire you, then hire yourself become your own boss and start a company. Do your research find out how corporate America works. Then come up with a idea they cant live without. Nothings wrong with a female raising you so long she is in the correct state of mind, and tells her child whether it be male or not the truth about the world. So they wont grow up baby minded (naive). Stop watching tv so much and start reading books. Which is another reason why we don’t have positive role models on tv. Kids grow up seeing gangsters and drug dealers which in turn they become that their selves. Creating more gangsters & drug dealers. 80 percent of the people you see on tv don’t actually live the life they portray to you. Also elders have to get away from the seen and not heard belief. Even if they are young they have opinions and should have the right to express that. So until they stop telling kids they don’t know nuttin or that ain’t been through the things they have, because they have grown up in today’s society they have endured at times worst. They don’t deserve respect.
