Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones was born September 14, 1973, in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.[10] His father, Olu Dara, is a jazz and blues musician of Yoruba descent[11][12][13] from Natchez, Mississippi. His mother, Fannie Ann (Little) Jones, was a Postal Service worker from North Carolina.[14] He has one sibling, a brother named Jabari Fret who is best known as "Jungle", a member of the hip hop group Bravehearts. As a young child, Nas and his family relocated to the Queensbridge Houses in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens. His neighbor, Willy "Ill Will" Graham, influenced Nas's interest in hip hop by playing him records.[15] His parents divorced in 1985,[15] and he dropped out of school after the eighth grade.[10] He educated himself about African culture through the Five Percent Nation and the Nuwaubian Nation.[16] In his early years, he played the trumpet and began writing his own rhymes.[17] |

meforyou1: geez! you ibos can lie sha!! Ol' boy, i can write the history of Brixton and so also Peckham. Yes. jamaicans might have dominated Peckham and brixton in the 80's but as far back as the 90's, yorubas runs things in those two places. My mum lives in Brixton and i do my food shopping most times in brixton and at times, peckham. Though i live in Luton but am always in brixton every weekend so there's nothing you can say to me about the place. 1 Like |

forgiveness:Nas is not a Yoruba neither was his father. His father a jazz musician was renamed Olu Dara by an Ifa priest when he toured Africa. There is a difference between being an Afro-American of slave fore bearers and being an Black American immigrant of Yoruba extraction. His case is different from that of Sade Adu and similar to Eddie Murphy and Tupac Shakur. Just here to burst some Yoru-Wikipedia lies. 3 Likes |

kernel501: Akuko. It's a known FACT to all that igbos dominate and control the drug-trafficking trade both in Nigeria and Africa, and even much of the world sef -- don't be lazy and go and research the predominant Nigerian ethnic group that comprise the largest population in foreign prisons for drug-related offenses, be it China, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, Europe, you name it. Who are you trying to bamboozle with those stats which do not even reflect the reality on ground? Virtually 10 out of 10 busted/apprehended drug traffickers/barons are of Igbo extraction and even you know that so you can shove your stats up your behind.

kernel501: Nigga thank you for this dude. Saving it. This is why I love stats men. All yoloba knows how to do is spread propaganda and when stats comes up, na knockout to them. It's actually how Cleen stats on crimes in Nigeria actually proved SW is literally the criminal den of Southern Nigeria. Even kidnappings, they proved that SW has the highest kidnappings conviction and attemot in the entire Southern Nigeria yet those niggas had the audacity to constantly referring SS and SE as kidnapper area yet their f2kimg region is the den of it. Now NBS just gave out another beating to another one of their propaganda. I'm f2king loving it. So much their media can do but it sure as hell can't change records. |

Eastlink: Why you think I ignored the dude. It's highly pathetic!!! Claiming those that African Americans as yoruba because their ancestors descended from "yoruba" or got a name from yoruba during a visit is just completely sad and reeks of inferiority complex. If that's the case then their isn't such thing as "African american" because every African American descended from some tribe in Africa and we all know how African Americans do not want to associate themselves to Africans and quick to let person know they aren't Africans therefore, I just find it pathetic!!! Now I see why AA always ego trip themselves that Africans are always claiming them 3 Likes |
