If you can imagine these people as your relatives too this world will be a better place for all of humanity, we look different but we are all the same we are all human. This is Similar to Lowkey and Logic’s Relatives “Our pain is the same, but it’s all relative They cried the same tears, you cried for your relatives And one way or another, my brother were all relatives Home is where the heart is, yeah that’s where it is”

The song is about a soldier coming back from war suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one’s own or someone else’s physical, sexual, or psychological integrity,overwhelming the individual’s ability to cope. As an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen acute stress response. Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original traumas through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger, and hyper vigilance.

Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had allegedly smuggled cocaine into the U.S. Their smuggled cocaine was distributed as crack cocaine in Los Angeles, with the profits funneled back to the Contras. Webb also alleged that this influx of Nicaraguan-supplied cocaine sparked, and significantly fueled, the widespread crack cocaine epidemic that swept through many U.S. cities during the 1980s. According to Webb, the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of drugs into the U.S. by Contra personnel. Webb charged that the Reagan administration shielded inner-city drug dealers from prosecution in order to raise money for the Contras, especially after Congress passed the Boland Amendment, which prohibited direct Contra funding.

This video is about K-os giving back to hip hop real hip hop what it truly represents: fighting the oppressors. And karma will come to those who use hip hop to exploit it.

This song was made in 2002, and music in general began to change in the new millennium and began to alienate rappers like K-Os who were rapping for a long time.

Just like previous African music genres history repeats with Hip Hop which is being destroyed by greed, and power. Everyone is exploiting Hip Hop but no one is helping Hip Hop to be a means for some sort of peace and kinship within African-American culture. The genre becomes bastardized and popped up to the point where it becomes the opposite of what it used to be.

Rap has reached the part of a cultural phenomenon where the emcees are revered to being like rockstars and living the same crazy and infamous lifestyles as they do.

The rockstars realize this and want to be cool like the emcees and eventually try to jack their culture and style.

Both of these things lead to nothing but posing and everyone being fake to each other, people trying to be something that they aren’t.
