I can’t figure you folks out sometimes. You act like you give a fuck and respect other countries like Africa, but you won’t listen to any music by rappers from Africa. I think y’all are full of shit. Africa is hard fucking body. I think y’all are scared to fuck with African music because y’all are bitchmade.
This made me wonder though why no rappers have used the name of African despots as their stage name. Okay, that isn’t entirely true on a technicality since Tragedy does go by the name Kadafi. And Derek X calls himself Sadat X at times. Northern Africa is really the Middle East now so I don’t consider that to be part of Africa anymore.
I want to see some rapper call themself Idi Amin, or Mugabe. How hardbody is the name Mugabe? That shit starts with the word ‘mug’. How sick would a rapper be if he called himself ‘AIDS’? No I mean, how sick would he have to be? AIDS ain’t no joke in Africa. Awww, who are we kidding? No one will listen to some gatdamn African rapper because they will only rhyme about civil war, the diamond trade, drought and colonialism. Who cares about that?
The Soundscan numbers are in and the Roots have sold two billion albums in their first week. They even beat out ‘Iron Man’ as the most popular media event of the past seven days. No matter how many records the Roots actually sold they are winning with the videos they released for the album. The songs are dope and the production values for the videos are relatively modest considering the videos look as good as they do. Music videos didn’t kill the production of albums, but a good video can make a great album even stronger. I hope the Roots get a Grammy for ‘Rising Down’.
Whoever is talking about releasing ‘The Cater III’ in June should reconsider. If they pushed it back until August I bet they could make at least one great video to launch that record. I mean a really good video. Hire that Chinese Korean Mexican cat that did the Roots recent videos and go down to New Orleans and shoot some footage of Wayne walking through the Ninth Ward. That place is still as fucked up as some some places in Africa.
Can we all agree for overall hardbody status that Africa > Haiti > Detroit > New Orleans > Camden, NJ? Top five isn’t bad at all.

You damn right! Haiti is and always was hardbody. First black nation, the only succesfull slave revolt. Its gotten a lot better as of late. That gang shit aint as heavy as it was back in ‘06. I went over there for Kanival. Haiti got the baddest chicks, after Africa and Brazil.
Got a question though Billy. If Haiti is hardboy, and every Haitin moves to Miami, where would you put Miami on that list? After Camden or before New Orleans?
AYITI BITCHES!!!

Its one called EDI Meen from the Outlawz, their whole group was named after dictators. Remember Fatal Hussein, the other ones were EDI, Kastro, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Kadaffi.

So today i learned the real Billy Sunday left pro baseball to do some religious shit for the rest of his life. Maybe you sir, Billy Sunday, should follow in his steps and consider a career change, or at the very least not have Lil Wayne a topic in 1/3 of all of your recent posts. And fuck Africa. In the words of Dave Chappelle, “I don’t really fuck with Africa, because people are starving and that shit’s just not baller to me”

@Billy,
First of all,Africa is not a country but a continent and as such it consists of over 50 countries.Secondly, you made a silly statment saying:”Northern Africa is really the Middle East now so I don’t consider that to be part of Africa anymore”This is the kind of argument some whites have made concerning Egypt(which infact is one of the countries in North Africa)in order to deny the fact that civilization originated from Africa.Since Egypt is the cradle of civilization these whites claim that Egypt is really not part of Africa but Europe.Finally ,Sadat and Kadafi(wrongly spelt)are not Afrcan native names but Arab name.Peace an hip hop head in Africa wrote this.

Seriously, to the man who made this article, get psychiatric help.
How can Americans and other countries derive inspiration from the most poverty-striken continent in the world? have you maybe considered that it was time the roots slightly reinvented themselves and let go of the “Black power” nonsense?
As a black man I get my pride from the fact im who I am as an individual, why would a rapper have pride in not using his own name or a name that was created by him, inspired by what symbolizes him?

@Swizzie,
You are the one that needs to get a psychiatric help cause its like you have identity disorder.You call your self a blackman and you dont know that Africa is not the most poverty-striken continent in the world.Check out the following facts:
[1]No country in the whole of South America is richer than most of the countries in Africa.
[2]Apart from USA and Canada,no country in the whole of North America is richer than most of the countries in Africa.
[3]Apart from Russia,South Korea,Japan,and China,no country in the whole of Asia is richer than most of the countries in Africa.
[4]North America has countries that are as poor as the poorest countries in Africa,e.g.Haiti,Jamacia,e.t.c
[5]Asia has countries that are as poor as the poorest countries in Africa,e.g Burma,Vietnam,India,e.tc
So what makes you think we are the most poverty-stricken continent in the world?My brother stop listening to propaganda.Africa is not as bad as the white media portrays it.POVERTY IS A GLOBAL THING,IT IS NOT ONLY AFRICA THAT IS AFFECTED.Peace.
