The second verse he is talking about Timbuktu before and during the rise of the Mali Empire. Also long before that there were universities in Morocco( 859 AD ), Egypt (975 AD ) that still exist today among others.
it shows you how he nkew his stuff.people need to listen to this.consciousness is what need.don't let oyinbo trick you into believing that we are barbaric savages.Our rich heritage counts for a lot.
i love femi kuti's music. it has so much meaning about how america and other people think they're the best and that people take control of their government's weakness.. its so true but its sad because its true. :(
I've both that song (Oyibo and surivival). One of my favorites songs from Femi. And this song(Blackman know yourself) is my the best including Beng Beng Beng.
DAMN RIGHT! this is a family that has a gift of creating music that makes you move no matter who you are. I was lucky enough to see femi in boston and it was incredible
blackman on planet unite...its the only way.
