Dear Friend,
John McCain and Sarah Palin have stopped talking about the issues, and have instead launched a strategy relying on fear-mongering, racial divisions, and hate. The result is McCain/Palin supporters saying "kill him!" "terrorist!" "traitor," and more, at rallies, with the McCain campaign playing dumb in response.It's outrageous and it must stop.
Together, we can show that Americans of all races won't stand for this.
I've signed onto ColorofChange's open-letter calling out McCain an… Continue

carter 3 makes me love rap again. i enjoy listening to it over & over. i asked myself why am i digging it so much and its because of the content of the rhymes. i think about rap music these days & it hasnt been to interesting. not to say that theyre all bad artist out but to me an artist still has to be interesting, weird, or a charector to match their talents. just because one may know how to rap or be a dope emcee its not enough. it can be almost like how ducan in basketball is - yeah… Continue

The most important thing in my life is breaking the chains of mental slavery that bind African Americans today. Liberating us from the belief systems we learned in slavery is paramount to any other thing I can do in my lifetime. We hold on to the things we learned in slavery and they are detrimental to our psyche, they debilitate us, they cripple us emotionally and psychologically, and we defend those things to the death. It is of the utmost importance to make my people see that the things that… Continue

The revolution has to be televised or most Black people will miss it.
The revolution has to be televised in High Definition with a slamming soundtrack or it will be completely missed.
The revolution has to be televised
The revolution must be on BET, right after Comic View and right before Rap City for anyone to take notice.
The revolution will be a pay per view event with watered down politically correct messages or Black folks will not have a clue the revolution has begun.
The so-called revolu… Continue

What We Can Do
Written by JAHI
Let me tell you what we can do
We can start by raising the black panthers again
And realize the government is not your friend
If you poor black of brown shine the light on these things
You saw the way they did us down in New Orleans
We can stop trusting anyone other than ourselves
Turn off the TV take a book off the shelf and read it
Build grocery stores we need it
Pork sugar and fast food just stop eating it
Let me tell you what we can do
We can take better of… Continue

Let it Out
Written by Jahi
My mind swirling like a funnel cloud
Turn my music and my mic up loud/bout to release this off my chest now
More than a freestyle more than another song
More than another rapper out here trying to get on
I'm celebrating 10 years this year
Keep on forging on ahead like a burning spear
Been rejected neglected disrespected expect the unexpected
Battle tested and approved represent the stone refused
Still making moves still paying dues
True school new school man I'm tryin… Continue

Guaranteed to Quannum leap over every single one of yall
Me and Gab blowing… Continue

Every Word
Written by Jahi
You in the presence of a boss/paid the cost/many gains friends lost
The definition of a new way to floss
Been here I’ve been there always take time to prepare
Rare gem ghetto hymn
Looking for an empty bag of rhymes I’m not him
Striving to be a reflection of a higher HIM
This you you, you you, they they and them
It’s not for everybody for your mind soul and body
Some rappers stinking up the game like a porti-pottie
I'm trying to be like El Hajj Malik not John Gotti
I’m… Continue

The Right Way
Written by Jahi
Girl I want you but I want you the right way
Girl I need you but I need you the right way
You know I love spending time with you
But I want you the right way
I may even spend my life with but I want you the right way
Im not running no game this is not the same ole same
I don’t say Aye ba-ba a real man asks your name
Respectful from the gate saying things to make you smile
Attracted to your style but wanna know what’s on your mind
Let’s take a drive dinner or maybe… Continue
