i wonder what it feels like to live in a country where the black people were never enslaved and stripped of their heritage and culture?? I wonder how the police treat them over there?
a festival that has been going on every year since the 70s!!! hes probably the only american they chose to welcome too. now thats power right there people. thats the power of hip hop.

damn street don!!! you took that in the complete opposite direction. I was just trying to give props to the nigga kanye and hear you go getting all bout it bout it on a nigga.
first off i said I WONDER….
second off little nigga you slap a cat like me and you got more than english colonization to worry about.
third- I DO KNOW about the UK and the bullshit ass oppression you niggas are victim too. How you could compare that to 400 years of slavery and murder i dont know but YOU need to do YOUR own homework little nigga. We couldnt even piss in the same toilets as everybody else until the middle of the last century. But that aint where I was trying to take it anyway, I dont feel sorry for myself, I was just trying to open niggas eyes up to the accomplishments of one of our cultures most outspoken advocates- kanye west.
but to both of you cats street don and bell vs bell- I aint takin nothing away from yall situation- as brothers we need to not fight each other and stand as united, but dont jump in my shit and talk about puttin hands on a nigga you dont know. correct me if im wrong- thats how ill learn- but you fuckin with a vet young nigga.

I aint gonna debate that ye cries about shit. I aint gonna say i like how flamboyant he is. but cmon nigga, kanye is a dude that knows how to make an ill melody. him, timbo, just blaze, dr dre, rza, and a few others can take a synth and make magic. props to kanye.

That is some big shit. He’s become an international pop icon. He’s pulling away from Wayne fast. He’s definetly the next big thing, no one is doing it that big but Hov. Wayne’s in desperate need of an album if he wants the coveted number 1 spot because Graduation was serious. I don’t think he has attained international status yet.
