No matter what race, colour, creed or religion; we all bring unique and different objects of value to the global table. It's our individual and personal challenge to not let our gifts fall into the realm of arrogance and ignorance.It's important to remember roots and culture but just as important to not hoard successes over other roots and culture to try and determine which is better or more culturally appetising.Consider this: A particular dish is made of several ingredients, which, when brought together, enhance the overall flavour and so roots and culture must be the same - to be shared with the world. Learning has an infinite number of sources; mixing as many sources together as possible provides the sweetest or most savoury taste. A source or ingredient by itself is unappetising and boring.Likewise, draw knowledge from all corners but comprehend the meaning to gain WISDOM!

This is a powerful song laced with stunning images. I used to listen to songs like these in my walkman when I was a kid...still do today. Today our black youth don't appreciate music with real cultural purpose.

Gramatik brought me here. I love listening to samples and finding the roots of the sample. This is a great song, that help make a great sample. ORIGINAL SONGS ARE THE BEST.
