Good thing they listened to classic hip-hop/rap with meaning unlike they new 'soulja boy' bullshit

look how positive the rap message is from these muslims. Because they believe in something,true or not, they have positive messages unlike other non muslim rap all over the world

@achmadim You are correct, sir.

[achmadim]

@tolldoll100 Spoken Word Is universal not afro american its one of the few traditions that survived slavery im from trinidad in the caribbean and before hip hop there was a oral tradition that we called chanting it was done over drums and accompanied by singing at times, in the english speaking caribbean u saw musical styles like calypso and reggae coming out of this early art form

[afroguineaful]

not all mauritanien are slaves.those who had their ancestors kept in captivity for centuries are those who face this new form of slavery.both of their names,first and last are typically arab names.however,the sarakholes,fulanis and wolof are not considered or treated as slaves rather they are treated just like an arab would treat any black person which is discriminatory.those tribes preserve their cultures,names,rituals and are not seen as subjects of arabs,but inferior bcause they are black.

@afroguineaful I see you didn't comment on my question about islam but I'm just gonna say it cause I need it of my chest:

I don't understand why blacks convert to islam, cause the arabs and the turks has caused just about as much suffering to blacks as white imperalists have. No disrespect to black muslims, but I'm just not confortable with that thought, cause in Mauretania blacks can still be born into the slave caste meanwhile arabs are upper class.
