I think taking the mystery out of Africa makes it more tangible...like when we talk about Africa we're not speaking about some abstract far off place, we're talking about K'naan and J. Holiday, Akon, Ne-Yo (I've heard of Sisqo and Syles P as well) and so many others. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef from Hayti, Shine from Belize, DJ Clark Kent from Panama. <BR/>The Pan-African Politics of Hip-Hop<BR/>: DElectricLadyLikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12452490525312733483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23222560.post-80338033907473543092008-02-02T17:23:00.000-05:002008-02-02T17:23:00.000-05:00Might be a little fruity.

I couldn't mess wit no African." Then you hit em with a "Well, you think J. Holiday is cute." Or the dude from the Wire or I heard Ne-Yo is Nigerian. I think simple joints like that make people question images and self-identity. Or at least it can take the sting out of some of the statements cats be makin sometime.Oboogiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976937430214539731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23222560.post-75551866487351969192008-02-01T21:43:00.000-05:002008-02-01T21:43:00.000-05:00man, you just hatin' cuz he foooiinnne. :)kamillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09587721116397682158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23222560.post-60277309895597997552008-02-01T13:48:00.000-05:002008-02-01T13:48:00.000-05:00I have heard that he is gay.holigaynoreply@blogger.com
