NAS & Pharrell: Why Black & African-American US Artists Do Not Perform in AFRICA?

[fhsbiv]

when was this recorded?

[tllusk]

it is really good to see NAS talk about this issue!

[kingofpendragon]

"Horror stories??'" You mean, like, the HORROR STORIES of Black Americans being THUGGISH, CRIMINAL, MURDERERS, RAPISTS, and generally BARBARIC?? It never ceases 2 amaze me how Black Americans can bitch and moan about the MEDIA stereotyping them as the aforementioned things, and then turn around and do the same damn thing 2 AFRICANS!! And this insecurity that Black Americans have about being "looked down on" is really fucking annoying!! I mean, has ur psyche been BATTERED that much?!?

[noury5us]

We don't need no black American in Africa cauz u yankies don't belong. Africa will only be developed by African if we waited another thousands year. We seeing people like Aliko Dangnot is already doing great and manybmore entrepreneurs are coming.

[brotherhood302]

Props to my Va Beach native brotheren Pharrell for bring up the chinks moving in on Afrika's 13 million sq miles ov prime real estate. Because in 15-20 yrs, the asians are going to have an even harder time tryn to feed all those ppl. They are running out ov food and resources in their own land. So don't be fooled...Afrika and Afrikans are still #1!!!

[rocktafari1]

excerpts:psalm 73 Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

[rocktafari1]

the loss of mind in a hastefull act is worse than any battle loss...it leads to worse and worse. keep THIS in mind: spiritual warfare has physical consequences and visaversa.

let us just say prepare all capable faculties...for it comes from within and from with out..the enemy that is....

[rocktafari1]

hip hop has been acting like a devious pair of hands that offers riches and a form of liberty in one hand while closing you in with the other into a dark hole. take all the intellegent and clever ambitious energy of the dispersed youth and have it funneled into a false system of pride and self deception such as the zulu nation or the music industry m/s and u/g to draw all conciousness out of hiding to be seized bought sold manipulated and so on. spiritritual bondage! the bush is still burning!

[rocktafari1]

i "love" pharell's fight club disclaimer...it shows the ammount of thought that goes into the convenience of denial that the booshie nighgroans are alotted in their matrix. and look how sway..(forever covering up his locks by the way) tries to put a cap(italistic) on the whole issue by reminding the exploited who is sponsoring their right to have opinions and not the other way around. classic bait and switch tactics. these peple have not and will not ever respresent anything but being lost.

[okuomose1]

Nope, Africa is n't their land but the United States Of America. You people have been there for over 500 years and yet haven't set a organisation/committee for the development of Africa but has supported a mulatto in the white house whose foreign policy on Africa is worse than Bush. You niggers should stay in America because your culture of homosexuality, post traumatic slavery, music controlled by the illuminati isn't wanted in Africa. You African Americans have cause enough damage already.

[rocktafari1]

What horror stories before hip hop was around? like james brown and muhammed ali and others going over there and being celebrated? that horror story? it really has to do with OUR OWN FEAR of a BLACK PLANET;where we have to actually be responsible for the causes and effects in our lives, and stop waiting for someone to blame our reasons for disobedience on. not that Jah's people don't have enemies but we should check ourselves to see if we might enemies as well...Africa is too big for small minds

[rocktafari1]

it seems to me like Nas is really holding back on proclaiming the Lion of Judah...he mentions Bob and he mentions his "curiosity". Ethiopia was not mentioned one time meanwhile Beyonce is giving out vaccinations to little Ethiopian babies and hanging with the Bishop Paulos...and teaching them the inverted practicus! they send confused African Americans to Africa to make them idolize our confusion of success..and to scare other african americans from returning with shit like this.

[Jahworks2011]

These guys are full of it, Africa don't need these Illuminati pupets. they will only set bad examples as well as lead our ppl astray with all their vanity worship and money greed.. which is of no benefit to us, what we need to do is obey and follow in our father Jah's footsteps for the better to come for our ppl!

[waffiki]

@Jahworks2011

you are so correct, they will only spread greed, uncertainty and fornication.

[okuomose1]

We don't need African American artist because they have sold their soul to the devil ILLUMINATI. They want to go and spread the illuminati agenda to the African musicians. They want revenge for slavery.

[waffiki]

@okuomose1

Africa is their land as well,4 all African American and their descendant and one day they will come to back to their motherland. you must be a fool to even think that they want a revenge for slavery.

If your mother sister and brother were forcefully taken away by your cousins or enemies wouldn't you want them back when they find their way back?

any one who have a drop of Black in them, even if they are blonde and blue eyes, Africa is their home. we rather loose u than them.

[abbott360]

Pharrell is trying to justify his behavior

[SeekKnowledgeWisdom]

Why do they always talk as if Africa is a country its a continent, 1 Billion + people but if 10 ''Africans'' make a negative comment about African Americans then they are some how talking for the entire population. Nas spoke some sense Pharrell on the other hand only mad 1 correct comment & that was bout china buying everything up.

[mrronx]

Truth...the Youth will take it to the next Level..Hotep

[Ezkeel]

What a pathetic and ignorant excuse. These assholes are full of shit.

[reggscola933]

Nas said "i took my diamonds and gold with me, and if they take it so what it's there's anyway. Nas real brother down for the cause . Pharell seems to be a bit of a uncle tom. Not my place to judge the brother but just call it how i see it. Nas can go and probably be accepted there but everybody else i dont know

[TeleporterM11]

dont listen to anyone younger than 40

[1000gohead]

America portrays itself as if it's the greatest country in the world, but truth be told I rather live in some parts of Africa and or the pacific islands were we live off the land. No taxes, bills, rent, debt etc.

[nycharlem]

@1000gohead Or domestic terrorist like the u.s government.

[kushiteprince]

Horror stories?? At least Nas admitted that we've been lied to. The Western media tells us lies about the motherland so we will hate her and not want to go there. Africa is beautiful but they trick in hating where we originated from. The media likes to divide all of us in the African diaspora. They benefit from it.

[jerome4445]

The only place these traders SHOULD be safe at , is the white communities.

[lobcdtextuel]

who cares...Ifrica dont need them!!

[TheHIETTz]

@lobcdtextuel yes africa needs all of us actually,if they had said yes iam invested there through the ethiopian bank, how many people would just think ah, i know instead a rims will open an account in the ethiopian bank (creating jobs and modernity for those starving kids).

i know u mean well, i do also .. we just in bad shape

[lobcdtextuel]

@TheHIETTz i admit im agree with you ,yes Africa need jobs,mordernity and all that stuff..but i dont think american rapper are a good influence for our motherland and im not sure they are really care about I-frica....sorry bros, but i doubt about it

Blessed

[TheHIETTz]

@lobcdtextuel africa is embroiled in actual warfare, these rappers are chumps.

they have money that would stymie that warfare. thats what we need

lol these lambs are a bad example to african lions? repeat this and ask yourself if it makes sense

besides its up to us to create a standard

[AgAzA8]

NICE SHARE WENDOM YADON! SELAM

[VizionaryRasta]

Lets keep the American violent, women hating rap music away from Africa. Lets bring conscious hip-hop & unity music home.

[TheHIETTz]

i was going through the initiation, and i started to see them for what they really are ... they are not human.

our world is being besieged. and it is a secret.

we are being overtaken, and this foolishness, after what i have been through in the last 2 years was just too much.

we are too optimistic to fully appreciate how completely screwed we are.

if jesus came back, only our enemies would know, cuz they been doing their work

they refer to christ as the evil one.

[TheHIETTz]

i have been brainwashed, programmed and reprogrammed. there is no one i can go to to fix myself.

they have placed their angels inside of my faculties to block my power and overpower my will. at times i feel killing myself before they take over my soul and body is the only respite, because i go to these black institutions and they look at me like i am an idiot.

i know what u r thinking, but that is how they get away with it, cuz niggas ain't ready or willing to stand up.

[TheHIETTz]

his armies are legion, they are decimating the saints, because the saints are clueless.

we have so many enemies i cannot even begin to explain what level of fucked we are.

we need to snap out of the white man's afflicted "niggerism". we need to get to the level of jesus's disciples, and moses, and solomon.

being deaf dumb and blind ain't cutting it. all the so-called conscious videos on yt is a trap. they espouse the sin of pride.

[TheHIETTz]

the saints are being slaughtered, and none of us are aware .. we are clueless

and this video illustrates the level of idiocy, our enemies don't even have to try anymore.

this video made me want to cry out to the almighty for a lightning bolt to strike me down, because it illustrates clearly our loss. and it is a loss.

there are factions groups and cabals here in america, satan is here, and he has many hands and we .... this video hurts.

i have seen the face of the devil, he is alive and well

[TheHIETTz]

its here its now and we are not prepared in the slightest, do u people have any idea ... these people our enemies are using biblical technology.

tabernacles and all.

they have propped up their lords

they have magicians shaken and sorcerers.

and they are picking us off one by one.

the government sponsors this because they know they are mystery babylon

and they aim to stop the rise of A black messiah, no matter who it is.

these cults in america are the illuminati, they are feeding on us

[taron78]

I'm referring to the rich scared and exhausted rappers

[TheHIETTz]

@taron78 ah sorry.

[taron78]

Fuck your exhaustion uncle thomases!

[TheHIETTz]

@taron78 u think i am an uncle tom because i niggers to turn into respectable figures?

this is the niggerish childish shit i am talking about.

our ancestors as told by our enemies were mental giant, rightly called gods among men.

nas/prel, here now on this video, on a world stage, is the opposite of that.

we are in a war buddy, and none of these fools is forrest gump. so there is no excuse for being this stupid

[TheHIETTz]

@taron78 lemme tell you al a little secret about my tribulations over the last 2 years.

ya see, a satanic cult, jewish satanic cult, masonic satanic cult, witches and warlocks, have been going at me, and getting at me, since i fled north ridge california.

because i think way too highly of black people.

they have been coming at me day and night trying to twist my soul into hating my people, trying to turn me to satanism

so u have no idea how much it stings, to see this

[rocktafari1]

@TheHIETTz i was northridge a few years back myself...but thats not the part of your story i relate to most...but i feel some similar workings in my life have been done. being groomed and unknowingly initiated with my African identity on display for mockery by those who faked friendship and compassion. they prey on the inborn innocence of our spiritual curiosity hoping to graft in the new atlantian hermaphfrodidic dem-igawd-ism of this cult couture.

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 true, they have put things into my head by force of brainwashing thats gonna take ages to remove.

this is the great darkness

[rocktafari1]

@TheHIETTz JAH WHo Sustains is our Salvation. The name of His Annointed. By His Holy Spirit ; reveals all light to those who seek it and endure that which proceeds forth from it. This is the power "they " want but cannot have but will seek to remove from our minds desire by substitution of material and not the faith substance spoken of in Hebrews "of things not seen"...

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 we are embroiled in a war that we are not aware of, a losing war, on many many fronts

we are surrounded by enemies, on all levels from all the ends of the earth

these enemies old and new are legion our ancient enemies, waiting patiently and moving slowly for us to be weakened enough to strike down if u do not understand what i am speaking about, then understand despair.

yes god is great but u do not go to war with flowers

david slew goliath being fore armed and fore warned

[rocktafari1]

@TheHIETTz Jah is sheield and buckler as it is written as well when David Slew the philistine giant it was to prove that Jah defeats our foes for us, he goes before us in the battle and the victory belongs to Him. as long as we do not forget that then we are forewarned and forearmed. thy rod and thy staff are not flowers.

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 a king takes the field and orders his en to war, the men thinking so highly of their kings power leave the spears behind.

the irritated king receives his first loss, a loss maybe he is not able to recover from.

take this statement as u will

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 you know i search the accounts of david as i want and no where in it do i see the lord let david go into battle without AN ARMED ARMY

[rocktafari1]

@TheHIETTz but you do see Dawit the beloved put aside arms and pick up the stone and slung it at the head who rejected it as the cheif...Ras!

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 When HIM rallied his troops by presenting the Ark of the covenant .... his troops were armed. to the teeth.

they fought and still lost to the italians modern weapons.

please stop romanticizing a premeditated loss.

[rocktafari1]

@TheHIETTz and if you read in Haile Selassie's Autobiography he says how his faith in God and the Bible are what helped guide his decision making during that very trying time had he not had these two things he said he might have responded differently..

[TheHIETTz]

@rocktafari1 david had no intention of losing HIM had no intention of losing, and i sure as ___ haven intention of losing.

[TheHIETTz]

@taron78 i have an RFID chip in my brain that causes me pain everyday, as long as i am still here in america.

i will have to go to some non mechanized country and keep meditating there.

(you see where i am going with this)

all i have to do is go to the catholic church and submit to them, and everything will be fine, i will be put in a cage a golden cage and trapped for eternity, with my enemies.

then there are the satanists who are trying to bypass my will and take my soul.

[TheHIETTz]

@taron78 btu for whatever reason, my people, my people are so important to me.

and they have been rubbing it in my face for the last 2 years.

then i get to see this idiotic shit bright and early in the morning

it stings, it fucking stings, it hurts my insides.

u think Haile Selassie would be pleased with that ridiculous answer they gave? do u think stupidity is a virtue?

[TheHIETTz]

all of these people are millionaires many times over, there is no excuse for them being this stupid. and then letting themselves be paraded in public to our children and bredren to give the impression that this type of stupidity is in any way shape or form acceptable

[higHgradeH]

Theres cities in China pretty much ran by African traders. It's fair game over there, they don't have negative/false/derogatory impressions of d original man. They take us for us- one love and business. If it wasn't for that capitalism would b much more rampant. They helped slay a beast_inventors of d abacus.

[soulshakedown909]

calm down, it's not that serious. these people do not represent the I in public, in private, @ home or abroad; just because we are born on the same continent, doesn't mean we all received the same discipline. I would get away from that fascist, tit-for-tat, bakra man rhetoric. especially toward your own seed....

[TheHIETTz]

@soulshakedown909 I AM STEADILY DEVELOPING A RAGING HATRED TOWARDS MY OWN SEED.

i am being dragged through the mud and being shown that they are nothing but trash, and i can say nothing, and i mean nothing to fight back with.

then i have to see this idiotic response to an adult question by what i can only view as a simpleton, but know this is the average nigger response.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with stupid man we do not have this kind of time or ...we are being tricked into a false sense of security

[soulshakedown909]

@TheHIETTz

100. I agree. we do not have time for this perpetuated mal-perception of ourselves. we must look at these entertainers [of thought] as they are; minstrels, and not much more (regardless of the color of the guy). You can tell a tree by it's fruit, and a lot of these so-called artists' work has been planted in the collective cultural conscience for well over a decade. the fruit is bitter. But, we bare the light in this dark place; and others must become the same.

[TheHIETTz]

@soulshakedown909 truth be told they didn't really get at me till i started to glow. we all need to step up. because we are being cut down.

we do not realize we are in a desperate life or death struggle where our heads are on a chopping block.

we are wowed by mystery babylon, and while we are being distracted they are cutting us down.

[soulshakedown909]

@TheHIETTz

..and whats more brethren, they've been distracting us with rumors of good things [corrupted by the environment] and rumors of badness. but InI know well that truth trumps opinion, fact destroys pretense, and trees of iniquity bear no fruit. If in ini sight, most of our so-called leaders are corrupt and void; then we must be the leadership our nation is in lack of. we must not be afraid, the world is watching them, and Jah watch over I.

[TheHIETTz]

@soulshakedown909 you know that song from bob Marley ... "don't let them change you", "or rearrange you, no no"

they are trying to change me and rearrange me.

the satanist are trying to birth a new deity, they are experimenting on the saints forcing themselves into us to create a new world where they are god.

where satan rules the above as the below

that is why i am releasing he videos on what i have seen and what i am going through.

if anything at all, we all need to start meditating cont

[TheHIETTz]

@soulshakedown909 ... we need to train our will to be able to resist them, or at least be able to see and stay clear of them.

even though i have said what i have, i have not conveyed the full force of what is actually taking place

[soulshakedown909]

@TheHIETTz

Sutan has one ally: haste, and the ability to make others feel the need for it; in haste some may acquiesce their very soul. Satan has one enemy, the truth. spend mornings doing spiritual maintenance, i find writing down ideas allows one to get a better visual representation of what is going on. Simply remembering a word or two, can stop ones from doing any ill; just call to remembrance where the line lay, and you wont think twice about these guys. They truly do depend on us for all.

[higHgradeH]

Africans pay nuff tax in western economies for 2nd class citizenship. For every dollar dat goes t Africa in aid 3-5 goes out to pay illegitimate IMF debt. It's covert politics n economics supported by puppets n evangelists. Citizens of the west need t first hold their leaders accountable. Sanctions create instability,potential for civil unrest,braindrain,chaos,hatred n infiltration from church-charities+UN forces to ensure no progression or stability. That's the instrument they replicate. Peace

[waffiki]

the NON-BLACKS don't want the Blacks to know about Africa.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki YEEEES YES MY FRIEND YEEEES

AFRICA IS THE SHIT

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

are you on drugs? or mental?

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki if u have a specific thing you would like to respond to, then please be specific on what u would like me to answer to.

if this level of stupidity doesn't enrage you, i understand, but you have to understand that tome, this childish response from role models in the black community to me is like a knife being shoved into my spine and twisted slowly.

god don't like ugly

and this shit is ugly.

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

but you should understand that the zionist are controlling the media, money and government . u know very well who they worship not God the creator, so how would our people know the truth even of our own religion?

14% of population in usa are Black and 40%of prison POPULATION are Black. DO YOU THINK THE REST BLACKS ARE just watching when, their children, brothers, sisters, fathers.... are ALL BEING destroyed. they zombied them.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki we need to take responsibility, on my channel i have been just bluntly putting out whats been going on.

but that isn't getting through, you see, this is the beginning of the golden age, you see we are waking up automatically. the whites thought it was going to be them, but its us. and war is being waged on us.

a demonic/ sorcerers war

we are not prepared

in revelations jesus says, do not let them take your crown, hold on till i come, and strengthen what remains (egypt/knowledge)

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

do not worry; God promised us, when the time comes, they can't see,hear,say. we will be ready swiftly and win. these few months are their last days of disrespecting us. the time of our awakening is upon us..

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki but they are already awakened, they are using sorcery as a technology.

and we are not even psycho active.

the disciples could call down lightning from the sky, can any of us? we are not doing our part.

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

are you saying satan have higher power than God? all will be done when the time comes.and we are so very very close.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki i am saying they have a huge army, and we do not, we are lazily leaving everything to god.

god helps those that help themselves.

i dunno, it seems we aren't even trying.

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

God will make us strong when the time comes, it will only take a second to change things around. GOD IS GREAT, Have faith on him.

these are their last days-for the evils, evil are running scared and are doing everything they can before they are wiped out. Please read the Bible, specially Revelation.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki its much worst than i thought

i made a video on my channel azzaiel that got their attention, i pointed out that the gangs that were sacrificing blacks were being run by the masons.

we are under heavy sorcery, we are being attacked in a relentless onslaught and it will only get worst because we are starting to glow because of the golden age.

we put our faith in god, but god helps those who help themselves.

we have an approach to our kin, that has been bred into us by these demons

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki we are not faithful and true, even with the warnings jesus left for us we have fallen to the gentiles.

the demons are here and are eating us, we are losing our crowns ... i have seen it and experienced it with my own eyes.

to be a saint we have to become psycho active, and we are not.

revelations is happening now.that is why they are baiting people with this great shift crap.

they catch you becoming psychic, and they jump yu and take your crown and eat your bioenergetics

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

yes we are not faithful to Jesus/ God/ St. Mary..... that will happen when we are fully awaken, including our family and all our people. there is no stopping us then, and they can't harm us any more and we should not revenge.. the God Almighty promised He will deal with the.

just keep your faith, nothing will happen as long as you trust in God.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki i think maybe you do not understand our current position.

i may be going a bit far, btu it is not good, not even slightly.

we are being exterminated, and while we make goggly eyes at shyte like this, which is a demonic miasma created to distract us as we are being distracted.

and because we are being caught up in the "glamour" things like this, don't outrage you.

it's like you are being stabbed while on heroine doesn't have the same reaction, heroine makes getting stabbed feel good

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

please do not worry, leave your burden and doubt to GOD. it is our time.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki i am being tortured by demons and sorcerers, i cannot find aid anywhere, my only respite is the videos i put out to wake people up.

let them know they are being eaten, the stuff i have not said is even worst than what i have said.

my faith in god is absolute, but as david showed when he struck down goliath, a properly functioning arm, and good aim doesn't hurt either

[waffiki]

@TheHIETTz

call out for God, and ask God for help. go to the nearest Jamaican or Ethiopian Coptic ORTHODOX church. (the 1st Christianity given to Blacks when Jesus was borne) they will pray with you and wash you with Holy water.

do not be scared, no one is greater than God.

[TheHIETTz]

@waffiki they may be demons and sorcerers but they are using technology, i shave gone to churches, and they go right into the people, and wink at me.

it is psychological warfare to break me down.

they are going all out. i am not afraid, but i am disappointed. we have to leave this place, we are making it hard forgot and we are not obeying his decree.

he said we should leave ... what happens to people when they do not obey god? yeah.

[wamutogoria]

pharrell's answer was terrible, plain and simple, Nas was a little more diplomatic about the situation but it sounds like they're just making excuses.

[TheHIETTz]

@wamutogoria thank you for stating the obvious, i mean it ... there is no and i mean absolutely reason for the rich MFs to be saying any of this childish ass shit on a world stage.

y'know what, instead of us doing it, how about we sponsor a chinese african development company? ..... i hope u understand i was being extremely sarcastic.

we do not have any excuse for this kind of stupidity.

we created every form of science and built the world and its cultures, we are being made to look like

[wamutogoria]

@TheHIETTz no I get it, but this made me so furious I actually felt too exhausted to go in-depth when answering this.

[TheHIETTz]

@wamutogoria i am exhausted ... seeing the video and responding has exhausted me ... btu i am glad u feel the same

[TheHIETTz]

@wamutogoria idiots, to the entire world.

we have been beaten and destroyed by our insane children in front of their psycho gang members naked and brain damaged from the beatings.

we need to step the fuck up and get over the white man, and his nigger mentality we have been accosted with.

fuck this and fuck him and all his bullshit

[wamutogoria]

@TheHIETTz its a damn shame, is all that comes to mind

[TheHIETTz]

u boot licking buck dancing shoe shuffling bamboozled breast fed knee grow

everyone but us is investing in africa.

cuz straight up, we is fucking bitches. fuck this man i am tired of fucking niggers and they chicken shit behavior.

stop being such fucking pussies

[TheHIETTz]

bono can go ahead and do that because he tries and actually hires people to set shit up, which is fucking funny as hell.

African Americans were told to return to fucking africa by bob marley by haile selassie, and by jesus.

GET THE FUCK OUT YOU LAZY FUCKING BUMS

ain't no savior coming cuz u ain't prepared to receive him, fucking none of you.

pick a bank in africa, lets say the ethiopian national bank, open a fucking account there and start developing shit, start a partnership

[higHgradeH]

Biggup for speaking righteous Nas ure a spirit. Shouts to Phrll too,d reason we dealing wit Chinas because we been getting raped by d west for too long thru covert economics,draining of minerals n humans. Life in Europe so heavily depends on us for chocolate,smokes,doctors,nurse­s, athletes etc n we keep getting braindrain with no gain. China is a better evil. African diaspora gotta stand as 1, worldwide.

[TheHIETTz]

its actually because we have a ridiculously childish world view, which is why we are the last to actually capitalize on anything while the indians the chinese the whites are laughing their asses off.

think about it, we are the dead last to go to our homeland to capitalize on it. and when i am hearing what this guy is saying to everyone ... we/ he looks like a fucking idiot, a childish idiot.

we do not seem to realize that we are at war, and we are losing with clowns like this viewed as leaders

[Steadno]

dont be scuuurd!
