Nas on BET talking about the murder of Derrion Thomas and gang violance in Chicago
There is no limit to this man’s influence.
Now normally I don’t like BET, there’s too much talking and not enough music.
But yo, Nas was on it. And you know that I HAD to watch this, like there was no other choice
To me, he is the epitome of what a black man should aspire to be like, intelligent, articulate, humble, stays to his roots, and a family man.
Being humble is probably one of the most important traits that I hardly ever see in black people, especially rappers/actors/athletes.
His letter “Young Warriors, you are fighting the wrong war!” was so real, anyone who knows Nas, knows that he is all about fighting the oppression that we as black people put upon ourselves, giving The Man fuel to burn our own flame on. Don’t turn on your own people, join and unite because Obama has shown us that it can be done. And right now there are all the opportunities in the world to be who you want to be. Get a CAREER. Not a Job.
It’s a great video.
Greatest Rapper Ever.
