Finally interesting hip hop, and a truly great video. Haven't had that since Kanye's album.

Saw that little piece Mak.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable how much those little girls sound just like their grandmothers.
Not calling them parrots.
Just cliched and off point.
Like their grandparents generation.
To reduce the art of Lil Wayne to simply "tawkin' 'bout dwugs and calling women out dey name" ... is as silly as ... reducing the art of Miles Davis to "taking heroin and smacking Cicle Tyson".
If Plantation Negros would bother to look a bit deeper to understand why Hip Hop is relevant and why that "stay in school" nonsense they try to sell to kids isn't relevant ... they may learn something.
Maybe their grandmothers are Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Jo Baker, Ruby Doris Robinson, and Kathleen Cleaver, so they’ve been raised to believe that “music is supposed to inspire.” Perhaps their nana’s don’t want Watoto to wind up like Afrika Owes.

I suppose you’re raising your daughter on the lyrics of Wayne and this other fool who just flew over the cuckoo’s nest, but that’s your prerogative.
Watoto has challenged dude on specific points. You obviously feel a need to defend the sum total of his “art.” Carry on.
OBTW, where are those media images of Miles promoting heroin addiction and his abuse of Sister Tyson?
