And if you were not scared before,
you should be scared now motherphucker.

I will allow -- clean up or fix -- for unfamiliarity. Not cuss words but Nigerian specific words or ideas. Those won't count against you.

Just call me the unfair judge.

Each rap you give.

I will be saying it outloud to my children and having them repeat it back.

If it don't bump or it seems wack to the ear.

Then you will be judged lowly.

The rappers I know, spend years rapping without music and special effects -->flowing.

And that has always been the most important thing to whether one could make it.

And that is what I will be judging on. Flow in real time, not in my head.

But what my 16, 15, 11, 9 and 5 year old thinks about it, when they repeat it and hear it.

I've been asked to be a judge.
If everyone agrees.
I'll do it.

Then again.
If everyone does not agree.
I'se still here.

The man can not even rap? So this is totally confusing.

He is a good producer nobody even bought his sucky first rap album.

@Sista,

I am not in agreement with your analysis. Infact the women of Nigeria and many African countries have some of the exact same heavy burdens that African American women have carried.

To bring this point home and African Filmmaker made a film called Tooki (ah shit I forgot been a long time since I been to an African film class).

The man is shown trying everything to get money for the family and in the end when he is unsuccessful, he sits helpless and sorta in agreement when she changes her clothers to look more "available" and goes out to get food for the family by "prostituting" herself.

African woman face unimaginable burdens whether they are Continental or American African women.

One of the hardest subjects to bring up is the fact that sometimes it is without saying that the woman will sleep with whomever her husband needs to keep happy for business.

In fact if it were me, I consider some sort of therapy necessary to deal specifically with the stress and burden that sexuality as a way to eat in an immizerated country (country with absolute poverty) something that Continental African women need to be dealing with, starting groups about, at least to talk about the pain of it amongst themselves.

I have reason to believe that what has happenned sometimes is that "rape" has been so normalized in countries where the police bribes are normal, where only the richest are cared about, that the women are dealing with issues of promiscuity because they have been taught that their bodies are not special but are in fact one of the "money makers", life givers for the family.

I could be wrong and Chinani and others with more knowledge can correct me but it is one issue where my heart really goes out to the women.

They just as AA more or less used to, live between a rock and a hardplace. Children have no mercy and they want to eat whether you give it to daddy or to the rich fellow.

I think that Nigerian men sometimes, as AA men act out because of their feelings of powerlessness, it is the one area where they can feel wanted and needed. There are issues there too but I do not think they come from a sense of them being king.

It is a very sad issue all around.

Mukina2,

THe problem comes from the fact that a majority of chrisitians do not read their bible.

For instance the bible says: Do not argue with what is falsely called science.

Yet from one of the end of the internet this rule is ignored and we argue about what is false called science -- cultural evolution.

My only point I am making again is that the horrible things happening (lets accept what easy says verbatim).

There is nothing new under the sin. (bible verse)

We saw the exact same things amonst christians.

People walking around then might have been the same amouint of correct when they called for the end of christin rule.

And they killed 10's of millions to accomplish the end of christian rule and bring in secular rule.

Muslims bad? Maybe so.

But new and strange an unworthy of life?

Same must be for christians at different time periods.

Easy,

I speak from the comfort of a 'christian' country. Yet I also speak from a historical perspective.

I grew up learning of Indians and Africans being burned alive for not becoming a Christian.

One of the most famous stories is of an Indian tied to a stake about to be burned up unless he chose Jesus Christ.

The Indian asked:

Are there white people in this heaven I would go to if I accepted Jesus Christ?

The whites answered: Yes of course.

His reply: Burn me up. I do not want to go to a place where you people are considered the good people worthy of paradise.

[pp]

That is my point. At one point in this world, Christians had an agenda as violent and as terrifying as anything the Muslims do now.

Christians were so successful at their war against all others that they can now kill from the safety of their offices, and their planes and their submarines, but it is the same idea.

Christian nations rule the world and shall continue to rule the world.

Muslims fight in Nigeria? Well I am privledged that I do not have to live through this but to act as if they thought of it and invented the idea of world domination and murdering to get their religion accepted, makes one naive at best and a liar at worst.

Christians did the same thing a very long time ago, and they succeeded very well at it.
