Yeah, xenophobia is just like racism, bullshyt, you judge people as individuals not their colour or location. I remember hearing a story, forgot who it was about but might have been like a KRS and someone in Japan or somewhere met him and cried cause it meant so much to them lol. To be dismissive of anyone really is stupid, and no-one real does that, Bam's shyt is called the UNIVERSAL Zulu Nation for a reason, I think something Chuck has is about Planet Earth and worldwide Hip Hop too. We're all brothers and sisters in Hip Hop regardless of the bullshyt. There's members of the Zulu nation all over the world. Even the music Bam and them used to play originally was culturally diverse, and at the start they didn't play Hip Hop cause there wasn't Hip Hop. And with sampling and shyt too it's an amalgamation of many things mixed with our own shyt. African, Caribbean, European and so on. I think it works how it does everywhere, there's a lot of ignorant @ssholes everywhere and real people everywhere too. It's like sometimes with something like WWE, sometimes people in U.S get spoilt cause they see them all the time, if they go somewhere like let's say.. India, they will go crazy cause they hardly ever get to see them, or somewhere in Africa so they often appreciate it that much more. Often the artists are very well respected and supported abroad, it's love. I know a lot of the underground and legend artists make very good money touring abroad cause yes it's true in some cases they eat better internationally than being restricted nationally. And I'm pleased they can eat internationally and sustain and maintain with that international revenue, it's a very positive thing. I've met MC's and all kinds of HipHoppas globally and it's all love and respect, there's no noticeable different other than accents, we know the same shyt, know what's ill, it's a bond between people who love and live Hip Hop. Infact to be real some of the international heads often know more than the U.S ones, it varies individually of course though. For real, that's a good point, fukk Hip Hop Honours if you ain't gonna respect them 365. They deserve HUGE respect for allowing everyone to eat in the first place. I've always tried to personally give back financially through business to some of the legends and greats, partly because their work is often a pinnacle level. Whether it be songs or shows, KRS to this day wrecking stage shows, while a lot of people struggle in that department and are bland. Yeah the priorities are all fukked too often, people boasting over fukking numbers instead of music, boasting about who their banging instead of music, shyt is fukking music lol. Exactly, that's some clown shyt, who needs that shyt to get p*ssy? Someone with no game or authenticity. Cheerleeding for these shytty artists when they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire then diss the ones trying to uplift you... fukked mentality. Yeah, people love to put people in labels nowadays to discredit them, fukk all that bullshyt, only sheep fall into that nonsense.
