Ive been reading alot of posts and i think people are making a mistake.they want to seperate things by races (capitalists="white devils".but alot of people who are profiting off the misery of young bros and sis in the trap,are black.from what ive read, the negro revolution in the 60s,coincided with the national liberation movement.change was forced,when the young generation(especially white)started challenging the old way of doing things.this mental and cultural revolution took place 4 all races

whoa, hip hop is still the same. Asheru, chamillionaire, common, kanye, mos def, ect. Rap is comercial. Labels promote bullshyt, to keep young minds in the trap. thats why bullshyt rap sells. its still real rappers, speaking about real issues. but that doesn't get promoted. It is a shame though, not that people are rapping about mindless b.s, but that society has falling into such a deep sleep. but the revolution is and has been going on, its just not televised.

Zulu Nation New Yorkers should create another art form and keep it a secret from the white devil.

I do agree with ya homie...but the problem is where there's 'money' there's white devils. Hip Hop music has sold it's soul\culture to the devil to get that money. Only way forward is for ppl to stop buyin' gangsta rap and support positive Hip Hop artist like Common.
