so im listening to some rick ross and my boy comes in and says I need to stop listening
to that stuff and get some knowledge from dudes like Mos Def and immortal technique., Nas etc
so i star talking to him about politics and ? and this ? didnt even know who his
senator or who the secretary of state was all he knew was a bunch of lines from a Nas CD.
Im tired of these fake intellectuals acting like they smarter than everybody
else just becasue they listen to supposedly smart rappers.
If educational rap is your thing but thats fine but dont chastize other people
who dont make or listen to that kind of music.
if you want to gain knowledge there is about 20 cable news channels.
thousands of books by people like Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West
oh and thousands of internet sites to get knowledge from. but you idiots
wanna get your worldview from Nas when there is a bunch of other outlets
for knowledge besides hiphop.
hiphop is about entertainment nothing more its all profit and loss.
relying on solely hiphop for knowledge is like relying on Pornos
to give you relationship and marriage advice it can but it not its main purpose.
I prefer to get my knowledge you know from people with PHD's and experts
not some dumb rapper. i listen to rap to have fun that does not make me ignorant

You should have started talking about all the science on Rick Ross album like:
The master builders in Kemet that he referred to on "Free-Mason", the pyramids, Solomans Seal, the African origin of Freemasonry he rapped about
or about Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, Afeni Shakur and Emmit Till who were all name-dropped on the album.
Why didnt you discuss the Black Panther speech that was on the album??
Why didnt you discuss these lines from "Tears of Joy"
"White man had a problem wit mine
And we suppose to be shy?
The Revolutions televised
Bobby Seale still on the rise"
...you could have explained to him the origin of the phrase 'The revolution wont be televised" by the Last Poets.
Why did you neglect to school your ignorant brother on the jewels that were on Rick Ross album...or did it just go over your head because its "only entertainment"? -
Lyrical rappers are just a poor imitation of an intellectual.

A smart man can find wisdom anywhere and everywhere, even in the midst of ignorance.
A foolish man can only find wisdom when its in a fashion that he prefers.
its the difference between me and you. -

Hip-Hop music hit Pop Culture, in 1979, and conscious educational and uplifting Black rap was a part of it, up until 1993.
So your argument here, is irresponsibly-irrational.
Information breeds power, and power breeds courage...and courage breeds the ? to change the Direction of hip-hop's destructive messages which are the only ones eligible for Soundscan rewards, since 1993.
Only a self-defeating zombie, would try to pretend that long before misogyny and drug-sells...that Hip-Hop wasn't used to send intelligent messages through music
...if Hip-Hop was only for entertainment, and not to learn/get educated/get empowered/all while still bopping-ya-head to the beat...then Chuck D didn't really exist, X-Clan didn't really exist, KRS-One didn't really exist, PRT didn't really exist...
I really hope you stop and think, how unreasonable you appear in here.
something that no one has been stupid enough, to do, in the 34 years that hip-hop music has been unfurling in this Nation.
dude i first off the first rappers like sugar hill gang and the furious five, curtis blow, they wwererapping about having fun
over old disco beats. the political part didnt come until like the mid 80''s. i dont mind public enemy, but im saying there are plenty other ways to get knowledge
then through hiphop music. i dont want politics in my rap music that does not make me ignorant. i get my knowledge from you know college professors -
Niggs need to start reading books, GOOD ones ... at least one a year
it's refreshing... -
finding wisdom in ignorance is like finding dirt in water, or a smile in sadness, youd be better off looking for ? in the devil. its not happening and if so it isnt pure. stop settling for tainted goods my brotherA smart man can find wisdom anywhere and everywhere, even in the midst of ignorance.

blacks were never really into writing
ancient egypt had some literate people, but they died early from the toxicity of the paints used to color the hieroglyphs
and most of what they wrote was superstitious ? anyway, so its really of little value to modern people
and they were lightskin blacks anyway, basically latinos -
since when is material ignorant?
So to be intelligent, one must not own a lot of possessions? one can not be arrogant and intelligent at the same time?
I disagree.
if instructed properly of course, saving, investing, smart acquisitions, planned budgeting. not thru i sold drugs/got paid/copped a maybach/get like me-THAT is ignorance -

LOL.
I understand that being able to find knowledge in the midst of ignorance is wisdom. Knowledge Wisdom & Understanding.
The same things that make you laugh, make you cry, so smiles & sadness are a part of duality that I overstand.
I dont have to look for Gods and Devils when I understand Good and Evil
I notice that you have Emenim in your Sig, i cant think of any rapper more demonic and tainted them him, so I cant take your posts seriously. -
i see wat u sayin but this go both ways, meanin everybody that listen to educational backpack rap dont just get there knowledge from that and rap is not just for entertainment, its definitely a another outlet for information. word is powerful enough to influence people on all levels, especially the impressionable mind of the young. i would rather my seeds listen too educational rap than alotta club ? talkin bout skeetin on the wall.politicalthug202 wrote: »so im listening to some rick ross and my boy comes in and says I need to stop listening
