PARIS - Assata's Song

[051290ma]

At 3:31 looks like the Wu-tang posing lol. Good song though.

[MrLooderone]

PARIS!!!!! LA LUCHA CONTINUA HERMANO!!! ACCION ANTIFASCISTA!!!!

[R1D2S3]

A Black man who hates Black women...Hates him self!!!!

[bboyrx]

@R1D2S3 man, listen the song again! pay attention!

[051290ma]

Its a shame they went from uplfting black women or women in general to telling them to shake it the dance floor and make that ass clap

[fleshnbone187]

@051290ma Blame it on the women that accept it. Y'know, like the ones that listen to it and enjoy every word as well as those who accept being degraded in music videos.

[Bloodsport1]

Plusdude became a stockbroker after his rap career. So he is not a dumb N, so many of blacks think rappers of the calibar are dumb and broke. He put out a album with Public enemy a couple of years ago.

[dal4018]

The three ppl who dislike this classic are record executives

[treasureqt]

Where are the brothaz like this today?..never a need to berate, demean and dis your own just because your prefer somthing different

[ern363]

@treasureqt we here but can't get record deals :(

Aaron Hall - Don't Be Afraid

[onedeep1973]

@qwandiddy No, this is not Don't Be Afraid by Aaron Hall. In fact, the beat is the same as Can't Truss It, by Public Enemy, Hank Shocklee produced the track. Check the production credits. However, the beat sounds similar and almost done in the same time but this is slower.

[dal4018]

When I first heard Paris I thought he was Ice Cube but I wish both these had done a cd while they were young would have been great.

[rhysxk]

I'm glad Sean Hannity and Fox News hate Assata, it means she scares them and that makes me proud. Fuck the right-wing white narrative that the Panthers and the Black Power Movement were violent radicals who murdered innocent white cops. It's a perfect example of how racial bias is still the norm in American law enforcement.

[dal4018]

@rhysxk Hallelujah to hell with the puppets that work for Rupert Murdock hope they see her in their nightmares.

[william52648]

I owe ..."my being here", to my GOD, my Father, and another beautiful strong Black Woman...my Mother*

[3rdStoneFromTheSun]

one great artist on an extremely underrated album

a classic in my opinion

still love how he lifted that line from "They Live" on one track

"what's the threat? we all sell out every day! might as well be on the winning team."

Paris is one real cat who seeks a better life for earth in his lyrics

[KittensGotTalent]

Wow, it's weird (but cool) to see Paris smile!

[dal4018]

@KittensGotTalent That was for his grandmother probably.

[tkieffer63]

I love it!!

[rocknsoulbro]

I agree, they need more songs like this to be played on the radio. Especially for all these so-called hip-hop and r&b stations with their airtime that caters to the adolescent crowd. Maybe there will be more respect for black females. Young boys will learn how to show respect and alot of these young girl will learn how to have respect for themselves. All this Pimp/hoe/hoochie mentality in the record industry is causing too much damage with it's influence. Many are caught up in these fantasies.

[vivascargill]

a good friend on line dedicated this to Mrs Hamer and Augusta Hicks--but with reapect "This little light of mine" or "Ain't nobody gonna turn me around" would have been the right songs just curious what other people think?

[dal4018]

@vivascargill Unfortunately no one besides me and you know of these two great women and their accomplishments.

[dal4018]

@vivascargill Thank you VIVA your my friend 4life!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie "Assata aka Joanne Chesimard a Fred Baker Film" is available on Amazon.com

[ern363]

Imagine the effect a rap like this could have on the black youth today, too bad the sell out radio station won’t play this…

[musiqgem]

Gotta love the Aaron Hall - Don't Be Afraid sample!

[dal4018]

@musiqgem Yes GEM Aaron was wishing he did something like this.

[NuwaniDeNubianLadyIE]

I listen to this every morning to start my day! It gets my confidence and pride up high right before I walk about this cruel ass world. LOVE U PARIS you are my ideal man...

[bflexx]

[marcylexy1]

It is about time

[Mackadoeshez]

Paris is the verbal truth in the mic booth- positive over negative!!!!!

Cognitive mental hip hop elevation over mental hip pop stagnation.

Edutainment > entertainment

[ramrodtone]

knowledge over niggerance

[ceeaitchtube]

10 stars! Excellent song, video, performance and above all, message! Love and respect to my African sistas all over the world!

[nojusticejustus]

Respect to our Mothers, Sisters and Daughters who are Living Queens making our Pan African revolution continue to be ON THE MOVE!

Empress Assata Shakur is a shining example of a life of dedication to the ongoing struggle for the liberation of the African People at Home and Abroad. Powerful video and song which inspires all to continue the struggle for freedom and justice.

Free the Land

A Luta Continua

[thetruth786110]

omg...this is hip hop... pure like blood

[pmsan29]

wow...I had all of paris's records back in the day. He was my favorite politcal rapper. And his beats were always some of the best.

Every chance i got to play his music, I DID!!!

I remember this Assata song well, what a beatiful track...timeless!

[kolisionn]

everytime i listen to this i laugh...no disrespect to paris, he is the shit, but he really doesn't fit this character in dedicating songs to women...this nigga a muthafuckin rebel!

[spyrogamidas]

@kolisionn Not doubt Paris is a rebel but with a cause hes a Black Panther so im not surprised about the feelings he has towards our queens and tribute he gave to the Black Woman. I have all his albums and feel he totally fits this character promoting black love amongst us

[DisgustingDoom]

I love all you woman!

[naluryder]

He's the sh** my generation..!!

[quagdingle]

dude u listen 2 some bullshit music!!! TRY LISTENING 2 EMINEM 2PAC EAZY-E DR.DRE BIGGIE AND OTHER COOL GUYS UR A FUCKIN FAGGOT ASS FAT BOY!!~!

[3811iberis]

Paris has always been good from day 1, allot of folks have been, and are still sleepin' on him, this track is from his album (cd) from 1992, "Sleepin' With The Enemy". This track represents hip hop with meaning and substance, not "crap hop" talking about bling this, hoochie that, I'm a pimp this, do the stanky leg that, none of that bulls**t, that only represents foolishness and ignorance. Much respect to Paris, he came out doing it the right way, and he's never wavered, grade A 90's hip hop!!

[affordthis]

Word is Born! I agree with you 100% It's a shame because the blueprint for Hip-Hop and Rap music was layed down for these young bucks to learn and follow, i guess they just chose to go their own way. Sad, because they will never really get it. Why would anyone want to make music that doesn't last more than a couple of months anyway. Great music lives on for years. I miss the days of old too! Paris is one of the most under rated artists of our time...word life!

[MAGIKORBIT]

@3811iberis word

[luukzorz]

@3811iberis True words!

[mojoboy1984]

Man, I love your music ! It is real music not that rap crap as others do !

[Mackadoeshez]

Real talk not corporate sponsered rap jibberish on MTV/BET/Clear Channel!!

[BOREDUMBAS]

In mid 84 CIA killed OSAMA replacing him with the OZ born man of Dutch ancestry PETER WILLIAM VANSTONE & after special forces Arabic sent him to the ME... His family were threatened as were old Afghani fighters who wished to live & as they controlled him ditto with "AL-QUEADA" Yanks... Can you face the truth yet that this entire "WAR ON TERROR" & the WMD scam was a black-op? Can't you remember Saddam's Son in Law in the US in 95 telling you Iraq had disarmed...? "supanova-survivor" @ Live Spaces

[klept0brainac]

I remember this tune! P doggs was a real blackman .. tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[volpetrolski]

great song. liked the version on the album more tough. Probably because I'm so used to it, or whatever.
