Pia unasema nirudi shule kuhusu "kiingereza changu" hapa utakuwa na tatizo kubwa kwasababu haikuwa nia yangu kujinadi nani anajua kiingereza zaidi. Au wewe mentality yako inakuongoza hivyo kuwa kujua kugha ya kigheni zaidi hata ya wenye lugha ni fahari. Hapa umeniangusha sikuelewi na sitokaa nikuelewe.[/i]
Hahaha. Ungejibu swali tu. Hizo mboyoyo nyingine, unajaribu ku-twist stuff to win sympathy.
Sasa msome Nas katika haya aliyosema kuhusu na ufuatilie kwa karibu kabisa alichoandika Krs One katika buku lake lenye pages zaidi ya 800 The Gospal of Hip Hop. Ukweli utasimama hata muupinge na kujiona bora kuliko Hip Hop yenyewe.
Haha. Nyie jamaa bana. Mwenzio mikwara yake ilikuwa kutaja kina Masta Ace, sijui Snupe, Rakim. Wewe umeamua kuja na mikwara ya pages 800. Well, it's a nice trick, except it don't faze me. Facts always work, not politics.
"When I say 'hip-hop is dead', basically America is dead. There is no political voice. Music is dead ... Our way of thinking is dead, our commerce is dead. Everything in this society has been done. It's like a slingshot, where you throw the muthafucka back and it starts losing speed and is about to fall down. That's where we are as a country ... what I mean by 'hip-hop is dead' is we're at a vulnerable state. If we don't change, we gonna disappear like Rome. I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop ... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say"
Zaidi ya kuongea, hawa jamaa zako wamefanya nini kusimamia maneno yao?
Jay-Z alisema hivi
I can't help the poor if I'm one of them/
So I got rich and gave back, to me that's a win-win
Being one of the main victims of the mainstream industry (labels, media, etc). Jay struggled and made himself.
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, y'all lamed out/
Didn't really appreciate it, til the 2nd one came out/
He proved he's man, they offered him Def Jam's presidency. He took the position. Enriched himself with the biz' skills, insights, knowledge, connection, status, respect, you name it.
Then he bought himself out,
I don't get dropped, I drop the label. And started his own. That's giving back through knowledge, and a platform.
* When he said
I do this for my culture/
To let them know what a brother looks like, when a brother in a Roadster/
Show them how to move in a room full of vultures/
Industry is shady, it needs to be taken over
That's giving back to the poor. Amewaletea Tidal. Did you listen to his freestyle when he was launching? That's a man living his words.
* Jay-Z had Oprah interview him from the projects he grew up around. Not only did Jay give it back to Hip-hop through that, but he gave back to the whole community. Their story was told to the world.
* Jay-Z raised Hip-hop's status quo when he had Obama declaring he was his biggest fan. Before, majority had a notion Hip-hop was for thugs and no goods-bound-to-kill-each-other. That's giving back.
* Nets to Brooklyn? That's giving back.
* The man coulda just retired from rapping, and chose to write checks. He's gained the top status already. But he chose to come back, cuz none of those boys you're mentioning have balls enough to tell how the industry is messed up.
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me. Yes it does.
* Living responsibly. Married, and a father. Rich. No trouble with the laws. Financially disciplined
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown up for real.
* Jay is not only valuable to the game, but the whole race. For a school dropout, projects' raised hustler, to achieve all that and stay grounded. You can talk about the man streetwise, musically, intellectually, politically, you name it all.
He's been through struggles. Struggled and overcame stuggles. And now he's doing something for the struggling.
Now back to you, and yours.
