*Greatest* NBA commercial ever
Simply titled: #Play dat shit while you read
Expanding my horizon back to my roots
Searching for new music and old truth
putting my ears in the dirt listening back in time
to the raw sound of Djembe’s congo’s before the rhyme
before my time I’m searching for something old but its new
to me cuz I grew up without my-story all I knew was his-story
all my life a sheep I was prepped to be
Disobedient, Deviant,Criminal and felon they labeled me
the corner, detention and jail is where they placed me
told me something was wrong with me misbehaving in their society
but I aint nothing but a Panther Wise to they trickory
also a Lion and I’m going to be free
as a man I do as I please
No longer a slave in my on mind chasing senseless dollars on the lonely
Ima turn this shit upside down and make a way so me and homeys aint gotta be hungry
NO MO!!!

You know His-story whats up with Our-story tholike?
Enough African American history Lets take it back to ALKEBULAN. First off We have to look at the Roots for example who was the continent of Africa named after? According to my sources the continent which was constantly being dominated and taken over was renamed many times by the Romans from Ethiopia to Corphye, Ortegia, Libya and lastly to Africa. If you haven’t guessed it by now know that the Romans did this to constantly confuse and disconnect the Afrikans from their culture. The same has been going on in America with the depressing stories of the Afrikans in America. All the names have the same meaning “the mother of mankind”, “garden of eden or as the Romans called it the land of the blacks but the oldest name was ALKEBU-LAN.
Heres some food for thought from Master Teacher Ashra Kwesi

“The Beloved and Scattered millions of the Negro race” Marcus Garvey
So this is one of the guys that inspired Malcolm X and Dr King….
Summary of the video:
“Marcus Garvey was born in St Ann’s Bay, Jamaica on 17 August 1887, the youngest of 11 children. He inherited a keen interest in books from his father, a mason and made full use of the extensive family library. At the age of 14 he left school and became a printer’s apprentice where he led a strike for higher wages. From 1910 to 1912, Garvey travelled in South and Central America and also visited London.
He returned to Jamaica in 1914 and founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). In 1916, Garvey moved to Harlem in New York where UNIA thrived. By now a formidable public speaker, Garvey spoke across America. He urged African-Americans to be proud of their race and return to Africa, their ancestral homeland and attracted thousands of supporters.
To facilitate the return to Africa that he advocated, in 1919 Garvey founded the Black Star Line, to provide transportation to Africa, and the Negro Factories Corporation to encourage black economic independence. Garvey also unsuccessfully tried to persuade the government of Liberia in west Africa to grant land on which black people from America could settle.
In 1922, Garvey was arrested for mail fraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line, which had now failed. Although there were irregularities connected to the business, the prosecution was probably politically motivated, as Garvey’s activities had attracted considerable government attention. Garvey was sent to prison and later deported to Jamaica. In 1935, he moved permanently to London where he died on 10 June 1940. In 1964, his body was returned to Jamaica where he was declared the country’s first national hero.”
