RIP to Khalid Muhammad.

I think he made that prediction about people in the audience surprising you.....because the cycle of afrocentricity of late 1980s--to early 90s was pretty much a "phase" for a lot o f people.....and he witnessed the same "phase" in 60s and 70s....and how, once it wasn't the "cool" thing anymore to be down....how people moved on.

some of those same people storming college campuses with guns with afros..got over that phase and flipped into the complete opposite.

just look at hiphop music, how many acts made "conscious records" when that was the thing to do? and then when that wasn't "it", they moved on.

there was a group called 2 kings in a cypher..dudes from Howard U.....album called "from pyramids to the projects"..ankhs, chew sticks, medallions, yada yada...

those same guys later became part of puffy's "hitmen" production crew...one of them was the "madd rapper" ...
