@Dante3X ok fine, you make good points and i respect that, but sometimes i just resent charlatan hip hoppers that try and make hip hop exclusively for black people. Because im white does that mean i cant appreciate it and feel the depth of the lyrics because it relates to my own personal struggles?
jerus verse.. whooooo!.. needs to be a college requirement
I CAN’T EXPLAIN IT ANY BETTER HIP-HOP
@hfdpayner
You said I wanted to “blame the white devil for everything as an excuse to not take control of my (your) life”. Again those are your words and not mine. That position would be the antithesis of sovereignty and black empowerment.
I emphatically stated that black people should take responsibility and control over our community, businesses, culture, education, music, ect.. so that we (black people) would no longer be treated or seen as inferiors and second class citizens.
@hfdpayner
Cont..
Black people are beginning to wake up and not care how non-blacks view us. If black people had true sovereignty, non-blacks would view black people how we want them to view us because we (blacks) would determine that view and perspective.
Besides, non-blacks already view blacks through a fearful lens as hostile and uncivilized because non-blacks (particularly white people) control how our image is portrayed and displayed to the world.
@hfdpayner
No Cultural sovereignty means exactly what it means i.e. having the independence, power, and authority to determine how others will interact with and participate in our (black) culture as determined by black people. We created it and we should have full control over how it is used, seen, and distributed.
Again I said nothing about segregation; those are your words and not mine. Why are you trying to put words in my mouth and imply sentiments that I never said/typed?
DJ Premier puts 100% into every beat! greatest producer ever!
@Dante3X Cultural sovereignity is just another phrase for racial segregation. If you want to segregate yourselves then don’t be suprised when others look on you with fear and hostility. You are your own worst enemy. Of course you could carry on doing what your doing and blame the white devil for everything as an excuse to not take control of your life, or you could man up and reach your full potential.
@RedLightSalvation
So ur saying that sugarhill gang is the best? smh.
becouse it is, survival of the fittest
Ahhh…“Clockers“ was a great film with a KILLER soundtrack! Harvey Keitel and Mekhi Phifer were magnificent!
rap is like wine, it’s better with time.
subliminal hypnotism and colonialism leaves most niggas dead or in prison.
@matibeatone You don’t understand. You CAN’T understand. If you’ve read my previous posts on this issue and still cannot understand my position, or what I mean by cultural sovereignty… you never will understand. Never. Just keep listening to hip-hop from the hipster’s perspective… it’s as close as you will ever get to the essence of the artform that is now lost forever, but will always flow through those who lived AND loved it DURING the Golden Age, its transformations, and it pioneers.
@daTruChosen that means that if I´m white and from southamerica I can´t enjoy and appreciate true hip hop? I understand how hip hop was created and by whom, but i think that that doesn´t voids the fact that white people can enjoy this form of art as well.
This is one of those rare songs where it’s difficult to tell who had the best verse because they all came with it.
notice how the ads didnt come on for the old school shit HELL YEA
Liked & Shared!! PEACE
LOL, the video is not bad, I recommend you youtube „Kayos – J Dilla Tribute“
I listen to many music styles. Jazz, hardcore, metal even classical. But no other music sends chills down my spine like 90s hip hop. There is so much poetry and jazzy rugged NY style to his music, it has changed my life. Cats like Jeru deserve to be considered gods of Hip Hop. Im not black, or even from the US, but this music makes me feel what they have to say, and think about what it really means. In THAT lies the true power of great music, and I’ll be bumping these tracks for decades!
@psychodad905 to me the time around 92-96 was the prime-time in Rap Music, were legends were born
@KitchenerBombSquad
You can’t forget the echoing sax.
@ozyozyozyozy
Our responsibility as black people is begin cultural sovereignty, economic sovereignty, educational sovereignty ect.. so that we can determine our future that benefits our self interest as opposed to how it is now where non-blacks dictate and determine our future for us like little children and inferiors.
@ozyozyozyozy
We must blame the white man/woman because they are not indistinguishable/ partitioned from the White Gov they represent. Who elects and set up the White Gov? Answer: White people do. And who benefits from the system of white supremacy that is practiced & institutionalized GLOBALLY in white society? Yep you guessed it white people do. So the very white Gov you criminalize is the same Gov established, maintained, and elected by white people.
