I've partied in London, NY, LA, ATL, Miami, Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai & many other places, but none of those places except maybe Miami came close to partying in Joburg, Durban or Cape Town. South Africans party like someone told them the world is ending the following day.
A lot of guys who became teenage dads & left the mums to deal with it are in more or less the same place they were 20 years ago, doing the same shit while most of the mothers are winning. Responsibility helps you grow, so avoid it at your peril and stay immature for life.

Majority of black people fear whites & they think the white man is God, because they've accepted the false image of a white Jesus. God fearing in the context of most black people means fear of the white man.
People literally die everyday, but there just seems to be much sadness right now that it's overwhelming. Prayers to all those affected at this time. Be kind

, I'm told this police vehicle will be rolled out in SA soon. They say it comes with tech that will take snaps of a vehicle and reveal all info about it including traffic fines on the spot as the car moves on the road. Info on

DMX was the realest rapper since Tupac. He was also the most honest rapper apart from Tupac, & the only one I've ever seen who could get 80k plus people to stop & be silent in the middle of a concert to pray with him.
Nijel lifting up the other runner, apologising & hugging him then running over the finish line together was an example of the Setswana concept of Botho (closest word in English is probably humanity) in action for the whole world to see.
Emotional stability is more important than financial stability in the long run, beacuse an immature guy with money is more of a problem than a mature guy who's broke.
Hardest independent song and video to come out of Africa. When l it dropped 17 years ago they called me crazy, but this song and video stood the test of time.
The Nijel Amos Documentary is going to be something special & the soundtrack will have some of the hottest artists in the world. Prepare to be blown away. Produced by Invictus World Wide LLC & my team. ralph

Drake was on the Billboard Hot 100 from 2009 to 2017. I don't think you heard me, what l mean is the guy was in popular demand for 12 years straight. That alone is legendary cos the average rap career is 1-3 years.
A rapper's influence isn't just their bars, it's how they impact the culture. NWA had us buying Raiders gear, Pac made men wear bandanas, Biggie gave fat guys confidence, Eminem made white boys dye their hair, 50 made niggas work out in the gym, Ross made beards fashionable.
Mackenzie Scott divorcing Jeff Bezos, becoming the richest woman in the world & then marrying a science teacher is pretty much how it was always gonna go.
I can only speak for myself, but I have never & would never talk about a woman I'd slept with or speak on the details of a past relationship for two reasons:
1. That's a punk move.
2. Out of respect (for where they are now in their lives, their current partners & their kids).
Lauryn Hill has been finessing people for concert money using an album she dropped in '98, and u guys say you Stan for Beyonce/Rihanna & Nicki Minaj?? Lauryn is your true queen!
I knew Tory Lanez' dad was crazy cos he has a hairline and a bald head at the same time, but him saying that "they have forgiven Megan" is irrefutable proof that the guy is definitely a few cigarettes short of a full pack.
Botswana is one of the few countries in the world that has never had a civil war, coup d'etat, violent elections or political bloodshed in it's history. I pray that never changes.

said "..& I wrote above their heads like Anne Frank" 💣..then a few bars later he said "..who's sayin (Hussain) l can't hang on camera?"...💀..I can bet real £ those punches flew over a lot of heads like a drone.
Respect must be given from the very beginning of any relationship otherwise you'll never get it. 1652 was 368 years ago, so if you think it's gonna start now after all that disrespect..Good luck.
Black people shaming other blacks for not being "self made", inheriting their wealth or coming from comfortable families etc is the height of stupidity. This isn't a competition about who hustles hardest, it's about trying to make this hard life as soft as possible.
DON'T LET THE EPSTEINS, KARDASHIANS OR ANYTHING ELSE DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREATEST FINANCIAL RESET IN OUR LIFETIME.
Black people are the first to say they "don't need validation from white people", but yet are always so grateful to be the first black person to receive such and such an award given out by...white people!
Whoever wrote this should be fired cos this is how it should've been written:
"Paedophile teacher fired & handed over to the POLICE after raping pre pubescent girl from nearby primary school"
When we took this picture Bissau was on the run for attempted murder. He had shot one of his best friends, who forgave him, & within 3 years of this picture being taken we were all doing business with each other in the telecommunications game breaking a lot of bread.

Just a reminder that l was the first rapper from GC to do many things, eg. get a major label deal in SA (Sony), & the first to get played nationally on SA radio/TV, & the first to appear in SA media, so I've never been a "local rapper".
One of the reasons why black people are struggling is because they have to start from zero in nearly every aspect of life. Try and make sure your kids don't have to start from zero.
I'm glad that the Moroccan coach said they're "representing Africa first", but let us not forget that Morocco withdrew from the OAU (Organisation of African Unity) in 1984, & applied to join the European Communities (precursor to the EU), in 1987, but was rejected.
Piers Morgan walked off the set of Good Morning Britain because his co presenter told him that he only started hating on Meghan Markle after she curved him & cut him off.
Whether you and the mother of your children are on speaking terms or not has nothing to do with executing your duties & responsibilities as a father. Cut the BS & man up.
The Covid19 pandemic has been one of the greatest events I've witnessed in my lifetime, cos it's laid bare facts that've been hidden in plain sight for years that many pretended they couldn't see. The veil has been lifted & the ugly reality of general inequality has been revealed
Biggie was the most lyrically descriptive rapper of all time. Meaning he could paint the clearest picture with the fewest words. "Malibu sea breeze, Dom P's, palm trees, cats name Pablo in milked out Diablos" Jigga & Ross are the only other rappers who've come close to doing this
"It takes a certain type of man to teach, to be far from the hood, but to understand the streets"
Drake snapped on "Aston Martin Music" (in 2010), & never looked back.
Fun Fact: Half of all the gold that's EVER been mined in HISTORY came from the Witwatersrand belt. Note, not in SA history, but in the history of the entire world. The DA has literally got access to empire building generational wealth.
World’s 10 richest people:

In 1989 Donald Trump paid $85k to run ads in New York papers which said: “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” In reference to the Central Park 5, innocent black teenagers aged 14-16 who were later wrongly convicted for raping a white woman in Central Park.
Less than 48 hours later & more than €600m has been pledged to rebuild a building by grief stricken individuals and even major corporations like Apple, and fashion giant LVMH (Gucci, LV etc)..All the people of Mozambique have received so far are "thoughts and prayers" messages.
This is Vitalik Buterin, the 27 year university drop out who co founded Ethereum. Yesterday when it hit an all time high of $3k, he became a billionaire.
I'm also surprised at how casually and nonchalantly grown men would get on camera to talk about allegedly"smashing" a person who is happily married. Do you people not have any respect? That topic should never have been brought up at all let alone in such a derogatory manner.
Imagine asking a woman to help push your car after taking her out on a date! A whole damn car..I've never even asked a woman to split the bill on a date, but l guess we were all raised differently.
Just know that if your girl caught you cheating she will give one of the many men that she's been curving (purely out of respect for u & y'alls relationship), a free pass. Now you're the one who's paranoid cos you never know exactly when she's going to cheat on you, but she will.
With the utmost respect for 21 & his craft, I've never heard anyone here call him the "pride of London". Also the greatest rapper to come out of the UK is Slick Rick not 21 Savage.
Slippin by DMX is such a deep song. If you've had any problems with depression or substance abuse you'll relate instantly cos it really feels like that.
