NEW HIP HOP - Peace and Blessings Beloved!!!

It's your comrade and word-warrior Jah-I-Witness Emcee reaching out once again to ask for your help in spreading a higher level consciousness in hip hop music and our community. This time I'm tackling a topic that has received much attention, dialogue, and controversy within the black community, as well as American culture (or the lack thereof depending on your perspective) for many years. That topic is NIGGAS, rather the use of the term nigger/nigga to refer to individuals who are descended from black, African ancestry.

Long considered a derogatory term used by the white ruling class to belittle members of the oppressed black populace, the term has been morphed into a term of endearment, which the once ridiculed now use freely and affectionately among each other. Some argue that this is a result of generations of brainwashing and conditioning. Others argue that the adoption and acceptance of the term, somehow decreases the power and negative stigma of the controversial "N-Word".

Recently with the increasing listenership of hip hop music, there has been an observed phenomenon of individuals who have begun to incorporate the "N-Word" into their everyday vernacular, and even go as far as to affectionately refer to each other as "Niggas", worldwide. Once a term exclusively used by the descendants of enslaved African kings, is now uttered from the mouths of white, Latino, Asian, and many other ethnicities worldwide.

Well before things get too out of hand... I wanted to make sure that everyone remembers without question, where it all began (or at least perfected). So after divine inspiration in the wee hours of the morning, I created this video for my song "MADE IN THE USA" to give visual support to this edgy S.L.G track.

The track itself was produced by my bredren St. Paul and is featured on my last project entitled "The Struggle, The Love, The Glory". The track also features verses from my long time Simply Laced collaborator, Kinetic. As stated previously, the video was directed and edited by myself, and was shot on location in my studio, The King's Chamber, with a flip cam and two cigarette lighters (believe it or not...lol!!!).

Take a second to check out and enjoy the video and please do not hesitate to join in the dialogue. Also share this video with those that you know would enjoy it, or those that you know need it.

As always give thanks and praises for supporting the artists that support the culture!!!

Africa Uncensored: Journalists Exposing Corruption in Kenya | 2 Dec 2019
Africa Uncensored: Journalists Exposing Corruption in Kenya | 2 Dec 2019 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 33 Views • 5 years ago

"Our goal is to show Africa as it really is: The good, the bad, the ugly, the potential," says John Allan Namu, an investigative journalist in Nairobi, Kenya.
He co-founded Africa Uncensored, an investigative journalism collective that works to hold the government accountable and cover stories often unreported by the media.
They are working on a massive story: The government is believed to have misappropriated millions of dollars after Kenya's health minister signed a multi-million dollar deal in 2015 for what he said was much-needed hospital equipment. The government also promised to invest in the improvement of Kenya's medical services, which were seen to be especially failing the poor.
Namu had received a tip-off from a source, leading him onto the case.
"The data set that we received showed us that there are corrupt networks in many, many places. But the place we chose to focus our attention on was on the ministry of health because this is one of the president's key pillars for delivery to the public," he says.
"And it seems as if it's either has been hijacked or it was formulated to steal from this country."
They carry out their investigation, using hidden cameras to confront an official, despite fears of reprisal.
Meanwhile they feel the urgency to publish as they speak to those most affected by failures in the health system, including a mother who could not afford her cancer treatment.
Still, the team maintains their faith in the power of journalism.
"I think that they key role of journalism is that we publish the things that some people don't want published, even if that means that we are scared. Because at the moment that citizens have the information that they require to live their lives, that's when positive change happens," Namu says.

Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan ‎– Blackman, Wake Up! [1972]
Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan ‎– Blackman, Wake Up! [1972] Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 53 Views • 5 years ago

Super-rare LP by Dr. Ben ( December 31, 1918 – March 19, 2015), recorded in 1971.

Liner notes:
For many years, the general public and the Black Community in particular, lived in the midst of a virtual desert of non-information about ancient African history. By chance, a man or woman here and there would glimpse the dim past, discover its treasures, and understand its meaning. But today, during the period of Black Se!f-Discovery, this is changing. Today, the covers are being pulled off the past in a manner that will spark all sorts of reactions. Some will try to walk away in disbelief. Many others will find their eyes opening so wide to a new encounter with the Truth that their lives will never be the same again. Never! Your life won't be the same again either, once the needle touches these grooves. What you have in your hands is a mind blower! It is history—Black people's history, our history—revealed in rare form. Check it out for yourself: Was Moses a Black man? Did the early Christian church start in Africa? Is it true that the queen of England has African ancestors? Did Black scholars, in fact, help to create the religion of Islam? Who, indeed, first wrote and spoke the words, "Man, Know Thyself?" Check it out for yourself. The Committee for Student Rights, Inc., in response to strong public demand, produced this two-record album of a major lecture delivered by the renowned historian-philosopher, Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan. The Committee captured just a portion of the impact of Dr. Ben-Jochannan's speech before an overflow audience that day when the Truth of African people's glorious1iistory took them by surprise. . . . The speaker is an Ethiopia-born Black scholar who spent part of his early life in the West Indies. He has been a researcher into the past of the African race since the 1930's. His travels have taken him to four continents. The founder of Akebu-lan Book Publishing Company, Dr. Ben-Jochannan is the author of an impressive list of publications, including Black Man of the Nile, Africa-Mother of Western Civilization, African Origins of the Major Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Cul-tural Genocide in the Black Studies Curriculum, We, the Black Jews, and others. He authored summary works called, "A Chronology of the Bible," and "The Black Man's North and East Africa." Herein lies a golden opportunity for you to get "turned on" to yourself in a short time. Freeing Black people means freeing yourself, and to free yourself you must take back your mind. Knowing YOUR/OUR history is the first step in this liberation process. Black Man and Black Woman: WAKE UP! Osei Yaw Akoto (Harold McKelton)
