Still Black

He's not ghetto.
He's not selling out.
He's just rapping what he knows, thinks, and feels from a perspective shared by those he cares about.

He's not beefin'.
He's not hatin'.
He's just rapping about his level creatin'

Mos Def?
Yes.

Smooth, slick and esoteric.

They're just bringing the classics to a classic

RES is a rocker.

But she ain't "Acting White".

But at one time,

wasn't all popular Black music considered rock?

So what's the point of all this?

Only that it's kind of funny reading blogs which feature two (or more) erudite brotha's (or sista's) arguing over who is "The Most Black".

"Who speaks for Black."

Or, "Who is really certified".

Really?

How can people who possess I.Q.'s of well over 160 still argue over something so trite?
