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!!!

In this video essay we take a deep dive into the enduring mystery of the African Humid Period or the Green Sahara. A period about 16,000-5,000 years ago when monsoonal rains brought a lush grassland to the Sahara Desert. We will be exploring the ancient civilizations that once called this land home as well as the biodiversity it once housed. All in an attempt to learn more about the mysterious and fascinating cultures that once existed in the Green Sahara.

Millions of tons of annual agricultural trade is now being conducted outside the US dollar, and within the new BRICS framework.

This represents a tectonic shift in global finance, as the dominant trading hubs of New York, Chicago, and London are replaced by a multipolar system of bilateral trades using national currencies and non-USD-denominated pricing and contracts.

The already huge volumes of trade in ag, energy, and raw materials are destroying price discovery in global markets. Decisionmakers and executives in Western companies are unable to see markets, nor can they know what parties are driving demand, nor which suppliers are emerging to meet that demand. Our senior-level business managers and planners are flying blind, and only after realizing giant losses we learn that we are now suppliers only of last resort: the BRICS countries and their allied countries across the world are producing and trading at prices far below our cost of production.
