There's no message there, in fact the whole statement you bolded is faulty.

"How you a whole rapper whose entire musical sensibilities are informed by your
African Ancestry and you're talking about you're culturally "Japanese" cause you
like Videogames and Anime."

1st off, his whole musical sensibilities are not informed by his "African heritage", they are informed by his experience as an "African American"/ADOS/FBA, lets be clear.

2nd, anybody that follows Lupe, knows that he's not just talking videogames and anime when he says he's more culturally Japanese, he means that the way he thinks, lives, and acts is more in tune with Japanese philosophy as opposed to African philosophy.

He studies and practices Japanese martial arts, which is a holistic system of living, encompassing how you think, act, and live your life.

lol nikka trying to [in this on ados, nikka must be a coli poster

If he's talking about the african influences (syncopation) that are inherit because of the slave trade? That part is true. If he means signs of contemporary african influences? That part is false. That part is actually the reverse; as you just said.

It seems he's referring to the latter.

This fool lupe ain't associating with Japanese culture because he like anime and playstation ya dense ass mufukkas.

He was trained in karate since he was a shorty, those Japanese disciplines he still uses to this day to move about in life. He incorporates buddhism into his religious beliefs and posts his thoughts on this constantly. And silly ass weebo nikkas spending a 3 day vacation in akihabara and tokyo is not even comparison to staying extended month long periods in the country multiple times in the year.



And even after all that, the man will be the first one to make you a essay on the systematic depression of the black community and bullet points on how to combat them. And folks really throwing the c00n word around....He don't associate with african culture, he never once said he associates japanese culture over being an african american. Yall trippin

said to people who have been rocking with AFRICAN-american for the last 30 years

What other new world cultural groups have African in their title as an ethnic identifier

And i dont even like the term african-american:mjlol:
Who "rocked" with that term? You act like that term was self appointed. We were just fine calling ourselves black, most still are.
