KRS One - Why Is That

[snickerbar4u1]

I was having a conversation with someone the other day....lol. All i will ask is this..... WHAT IS THE FIRST COUNTRY MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE??? Lol... (hint, it starts with an "E")

[Bimbo805]

Fuck Jermaine Dupri!!!

[CrowdPleeza]

Just curious. If the ancient Israelites were Black then where can their modern day Black descendants be found?

Also didn't the Egyptian population's physical looks vary by region? Northern Egyptians being lighter and southern Egyptians being darker because of mixing with Nubians?

[smmagruder24]

@CrowdPleeza They are all around. They are the people called African Americans as well as Caribbean people as well as people in South America. The descendants of Israel are also the descendants of slaves. Egyptians were black as well. In the bible, the Israelites were often confused with Egyptians because they looked alike.

[CrowdPleeza]

@smmagruder24

Then can you provide examples of these Black people speaking and writing Hebrew and having Jewish traditions? I've never heard of any new world slaves having any ancient Jewish traditions. But many still have west and central African traditions because that's where they came from. Afro-Cubans and Afro-Brazilians can still speak Yoruba but not Hebrew because their ancestors came from Nigeria and not Israel.

[boahplayer]

[SplogMan]

@boahplayer - Word! Amazing Artist.

[pogistarr]

This song LITERALLY changed my lifeback in the day! This is an excellent example of how powerful Hip Hop could and should be!

[charonn89]

KRS-One is a LYRICAL god!!!! WOW!! I jux discovered him today. I like him! A bad brotha right here. :) ((bobin my head))

[gatekeeper07305]

@charonn89 Congratulations my brother I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way 24 years ago when he first hit the scene. Enjoy beloved....ENJOY!!!!

[dolo800]

when one doesn't know about another one's culture ignorance swoops down like a vultu

re

[FeastFX]

interesting questions from KRS-ONE (and heard the song ages ago) but highly biased to only a certain percentage of "blacks". for example, the Hadza of Tanzania or !Kung of Namibia/Bostwana, which have extensively long mitochondrial DNA lineages, would pretty much have no cultural context of this 'historical genealogy' unless you have to enforce some Old Testament mythos as a foundation on their lives. fuck the hebraic mythos as a foundation and their retarded god who demands fear and patriarchy

[211bill]

Why is that ??? Because today's music is so dumbed down. That's why these kids don't know shit.

[etherealsupernatural]

You are now about to learn something. If the facts scare you, then don't even bother to listen to this track (or almost any track that KRS-ONE has ever made, for that matter), because he gives us nothing less than the pure facts. Those of you that can withstand the fire/light that is otherwise known as the truth, congratulations! You've just graduated to a higher plane of thought! Peace, Love & Understanding for the whole world!

[daddyshug]

my favorite song from this album

[SOINKEGOD]

sound like pac ambitions az a ridah

[1mythalive]

He is right about this part of history and i am white.

[1Supagraph]

//(*_*)\\ well said..

[Phoenixfan77]

Nice song, but seriously, rapping about the accuracy of the Old Testament? You'd be better off freestylin about the legitimacy of the Vedas! I know he's using it to springboard his pro-Black mssg, but seriously, leave the history of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Israel to the History and Ancient Civ. majors! Like Me!!!

[1Supagraph]

You would be better to tell that to KRS One..peace

[OmenRA009]

Why he's telling the truth, his info is right, unlike the crap you learn in school.

There was a time when ppl thought Kemet wasn't a part of Africa.

Also dont get me started on the Kush Empire.

[BabyAsPrincess]

@Phoenixfan77 shut up nobody cares what you have to say. He gettin it from the Bible and here people like you thousands of years of later debating about nationality and shit like that just stop and why hide the comment? if you got somethin to do be shamed to say it where everyone can see.

[Phoenixfan77]

@BabyAsPrincess Yo you must be fucked in da head, comin at me like that. Plenty of ppl (just not you slackers and chronic masturbators who are on Youtube all night) care for what I have to say. I was simply pointing out that he has little credibility to rap about inaccurate historic acts that occur in an ancient tome. How do you think Muslims feel when all the Nation of Islam rappers shout out "Ayatollah" and mention inaccuracies about the Koran react? Best to leave theology to the experts.

[7deepbreaths]

@Phoenixfan77 ...the experts????...leave the history...to History and Ancient Civ. majors???...lol...not saying that you are not an expert...perhaps you are, but we don't measure your expertise against your major. That does not automatically qualify you. Where can I pick up your book and read what you have to share? I will definitely check out your work...then I will be able to value your expertise appropriately. And please don't reply with any expletives.it lessens the quality of your expertise

[LeComteDeVersaille]

@Phoenixfan77 VOTRE SAGESSE EST DES SCULPTURES DE MERDE. IL Y A UN TAS DE SOUFRE APPELLANT VOTRE NOMME SUR L'AUTRE BORD DU PORTAIL. IL N'Y A RIEN SPECTRE-BÊTA EXEMPTÉ. ÇA APPLIQUER À TOUT DE VOUS SPECTRES BÊTAS

KRS-ONE SAIT LES FAITS
