He got two albums out and one mixtape and one compilation album...

Prayer of a Sinner (2005)
Tales Of The Lost Tribe: Hidden Jewels (2006)

Cop them at Itunes, if you want live copies, and they are out of stock, try and contact him.

Who knew "nigga" had such an impact, I thought it was just a word people weren't able to get past yet. I never thought Hasan would be one to preach the same rhetoric as the NAACP.

This is a huge blast against Djoser's perception of Hasan Salaam, one who he used to love and agree with, now has an opinion entirely different from Djoser's...

what do?

I can't disagree with an MC I listen to, which I have done the same with Tech, KRS, and others?

I never agree with the "slave masters used this word" rhetoric since it's just hanging on to the negativity of the word. If the word was racist, change the meaning. Fag meant cigarettes and now it means homosexuals. Why must I limit myself to an oppressive past? That's a hindrance, not progress.

You gonna stick to your idol or rationalize your opinion for youself?

I am confused, when was nigga used oppressively? [Image: cobbface2.png] lol
No but seriously it is funny when they say "nigga" was used oppressively by slave masters and so on but that was actually "nigger". People have to learn that nigga has become a different word with a different meaning among the young people of today, even though when white people use it it usually magically becomes the same word as "nigger". lol. Which white people have to get used to hahah

Anyways he made some good points. But nobody is gonna stop using it. It's just gonna evolve like it has. Who knows what it will mean in 50 years or even how it will be used, shit may even change spelling slightly again lol..

Maybe a great portion of white people shouldn't say nigga anyways. While I understand that an increase amount of white people are being allowed to say it with the approval of their black peers, which is fine as long as they're okay with it.

But seriously, with the amount of honor and trust the black community puts in their white friends, how many of them white people are going to stand with those of the black community and give that same amount of honor by standing on the frontlines and demand for their rightful reparations?

Pft! Not many, not yet at least.
