If you wanna post positive contributions to Africa from your country..

try a Chris Tucker, Oprah, or Pete O'Neal formerly of the black panthers... not Joe Camel coon mc.

Well.something is better than nothing, and better late than never.

And that's cool as far as Jay-Z, just wished he had started much earlier, you could have been doing so much more by now, IF he chose to do so...

Hopefully this would set the trend amongst the big playas in the rap game give them a renewed sense of consciousness and awareness to the plight of their own people and of course their own backyard in the US.They carry on about not wanting to reward laziness but they can build businesses in their communities that produce jobs or hospitals anything than the usual clothing line and Trainers.
But i guess trying to be hard and keeping it real conflicts with being seen as doing good for the community we need to adjust our mindsets.

Yeah, we need a new perspective. The old tired ones aren't working anymore. We keep beating up rap and hip-hop just like it is going to do us some good. The truth of the matter is we don't have the dialogue within our community that is needed to talk truthfully about these subjects. We use the language of "White" racists and neo-cons, just like that could possibly address what is happening in the inner city.

Jay-Z didn't learn about responsibility growing up. He never knew anything about loyalty to his people of his community.

He learned that. His music now, reflects that. Why is that so hard to understand? That if we teach our young, they will learn.

Jesus. . .


“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.
