its the f***ing media´s fault...
but don´t let articles like this fool you this is one of very few positive about my visit to africa commentaries

Holla at the Ice cube and kweli reviews they are far from positive...but i think they are more accurate...they concentrated on the shitty state of hip hop especially in JHB apallingly eye opening comentaries...

some ignorant like ice saying.".if iwanna hear hip hop music i will go to the states where it comes from.... i came to africa to hear YOUR music"

...MAN SHUT THE f*** UP HIP HOP AINT YOUR SHIT EITHER

RESPECT... TO THE SISTA...
IN ´95 I MET A SISTA WHO WORKED FOR BEATDOWN MAGAZINE (ANYBODY REMEMBER DAT?).. SHE CAME TO CAPE TOWN AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT...

WITH HER CAME ANOTHER SISTER AND A BROTHER WHO WERE SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS..

THESE CATS WERE AWESTRUCK AT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS... BECAUSE U.W.C IS ALSO KNOWN AS "BUSH" IN POLITICAL CIRCLES.. THEY WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS A REAL "BUSH" COLLEGE..
THESE CATS ASKED ME IF I COULD SHOW THEM WHERE THE LIONS AND CROCODILES ARE AT... AND WERE KINDA DISAPPOINTED WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT LIONS DON´T LIVE AMONG PEOPLE IN CAPE TOWN..

I WAS INTERROGATED ABOUT THE ANC AND APARTHEID POLITICS EVERY DAY FOR 3 WEEKS...

AND WHAT THAT TOLD ME IS THAT YOUNG BLACK AMERICANS´ MINDS ARE f***ED WHEN IT COMES TO "AFRICA"...

NOW CLEARING UP THESE MISCONCEPTIONS IS WHAT BLACK NOISE AND OTHERS SHOULD BE DOING ABROAD... NOT "PERFORM" (LIKE DAMN COONS)

problem is I learn a lot listening to USA rap/hiphop about the ghettos, about tha crack, about black panther, about mumia, about the pimps, about tha FBI, abouth tha KKK, about Rosa Parks, about etc,etc
I love hiphop.

Tha poblem is they don´t wanna listen to other shit from somewhere else and they theydon´nt even want to listen to their own real shit. They wanna listen to Ja Rule and Nelly shit tha whole time! And all these artist can say about africa is sumtin like

She like, "Jigga Man, why you treat me like animal?"
I´m like excuse me Ms. Fufu, but when I met your a**
