I remember the only time I heard Sistah Soulja was on an episode of Martin back in the day… I’m ashamed that I’m just knowing today that she is in fact a real POWERFUL BLACK WOMAN!! This is the message we need but it’s been suppressed for years!! Salute to you a real Queen!!🔥💯❤️

Back then, I was a conscious rapper. People called it "preachy." Now we have rap about nothing with lyrics no one can even understand. In this new Trump era of Jim Crow, I wonder if the transition from preachy to minstrel has paid off. *sacrasm*
+Rikaya Partlow It's relevant because we haven't done anything about it as a unified people. We keep waiting for the perfect leader and there is no such thing. Reverend Martin Luther King is gone. We have to carry the dream ourselves as a people. We need to build our community back. Take care of one another, and share each other's burdens. Teach ourselves and our children to value people not money and the things money can buy. Educate ourselves and our children about our real history, not the watered down stuff they teach in the public schools. Turn off the TV and pick up good books. Support black businesses and take care of the needy in our own communities. All these mega churches in Black communities with millionaire preachers and very poor people is a problem.
It seems like we always will be, sadly. No matter how much education we get, no matter how much we do to build up this country black people will always be second class citizens here.
they knew what we was saying, they did somethin about that black way of thinking. you think they didn't? they play this old game of war against us like you'd play a good game of chess.
+Black Mamba And may I add if white people hate Africans so much why can't they leave Africa alone? What was Apartheid all about? Are there gold and diamond mines in Europe?
+Black Mamba yeah? where are all of the expected progressive fruits from all of that supposed African-originated math and science, huh? why are so many people living in mud huts, if the average African is so damn smart?

Nah! It's still one of the Nine Elements which is the foundation of Hip Hop and you want reinvent the Elements for yourself. Hip hop which was a voice for the voiceless and that in itself is conciousness....

When looks and flow took a backseat to messaging. I am all for balance, but rhymes like these have all but become extinct in pop culture. Even "This Is America" has to be subtle and imply messaging through analysis. Souljah just outright said it. And she was right.
i was so into the teaching of sista soulja, my mon and sisters was saying your not black but i said this message is for all of us if you are paying attention. miss the ones that had the way right an not blind, so they taught it as they knew
Happy 28th Anniversary to 360 Degrees Of Power!!! I love that album it shall be mentioned with the other Hip-Hop albums released in 1992 classic or not. This is what I love to hear a real female MC like Sister Souljah speaking the real facts unlike other cookie cutter female crappers like Nicki Minaj.

There's only a few that are left, but unfortunately my generation is only interested in sex, drugs, and money influencing and interpreting the message that sooo obvious to the conscious...

Ous, the slavery is the chainz of a people that their mindz are not evolving enough, they might marry, might have children, but do not have comprehension nor any understanding. The mind, body and spirit to hear it?
@@MuzikJunky Peace! I met Lisa in Harlem at a community concert back in the day. Let me tell you Lisa is so sweet, kind, and compassionate. This woman is a true queen and would give anything to help her people. Peace
I'm just not a huge fan of race essentialism, and she did say I have a low-down, dirty nature because of the color of my skin, right after saying she can't be racist.
I wonder why these modern-day rappers are afraid to rap about the social issues that's going on today???? Back in the day, rappers and singers use to talk about the corruption that was going on in the world but now hip-hop just sold out.
Yo she rapping like a female Chuck D,crazy bars with a powerful message.This is what living in AMERIKKKA will come to for Melanated race,just sad that our people on the radio is not TUNE into this.
