It is not about music alone, most things people sees in America as the best are not true in reality, American police are worst than SARS, they sees themselves like Rambo, security in American is nothing to write home about too many things wrong over there but they report that we are the bad one, we lack security, we are poor etc unfortunately we have allow that to get into our head and we are heading towards who they told us we are.

The real society we should have emulated are Japanese, Chinese, Australians, Germans, Koreans etc those are real healthy society not the fake Hollywood society we wants to copy.

You have said it all.

bottom line is, no matter how rich you're in this zoo you're still damn poor

I get your point and acknowledge that their is still a lot of crap going on in the US but the difference is still very much in every aspect.

Most rappers spend like water at strip clubs ...that is where all their money goes to....strippers and food.

You need to get more enlightened. If China pills out its investment from america ,its economy will crumble .u.s runs to China not vice versa .do you know that holly wood alone is bankroled by Chinese investors behind the scenes ?

Chinese go to other counties like France for vacation they go to us to make money but never to escape "hardship " of their country .the Chinese always look for where to make money and u.s is an opportunity for them not that their life is better .in terms of technology ,economy even security america can't stand next to China

The sad truth is that most of those poverty stricken places are dominated by Black's. Africans basically went there to spoil their country for them. Go to white neighborhoods or white dominated state and see the difference. You can die in naija for all you want... Nobody knows you grin

you cannot compare the population of artistes in Yankee to Nigeria.
Yankee music industry is richer than Nigeria Music Industry, they can make a lot of money from just a mixtape, the broke ones Akon is talking about are the ones i dont know

You still dont get it. Its not just rappers. Its a cultural thing. Most Americans make more money than Nigerians but they have a deeply ingrained mindset of spending their entire pay cheque and live from weekly pay day to pay day.

I once asked my colleague an african american why he would go and spend all his pay cheque at the strip club throwing one dollar bills to a female shaking booty, that if i do such ill feel like a slowpoke....all he said was " you gotta feed the birds".

Most of them get paid on thursday. By monday they are broke and begging you for money to fill their tank so they can come to work.

So making money is not the problem...keeping it is it. Plus they have a system that is designed to take all you earned and leave you to the barest..

Now i used to get irritated by their bad spending habit until i looked at them from a more empathetic angle.

They are descended from ancestors who where slaves for many generations. Up until like 1865,as slaves they did not earn any money, could not plan for the future cause there was none for them. They could not buy land, own property nor leave any inheritance for their children...Do i have any justification to blame them for living a life like there is no tommorrow?


Bro these things are deeper than the surface. While they may not be in chains right now, their minds are still not accustomed to the thought patterns that a mind that was never enslaved is easily capable of.

Each time i sit with any african american...i try to tell them that in spite of the sheet going on around them, opportunities unknown and only dreamed of in many places in the world surround them and they should take advantage.
