[nandansho]

When I hear Black Ultra intelligent Teachers and Philosophers, Like THIS! My heart sings! Black people We used to call each other Brother and Sister not Dog and Ho, Any Brother or Sister who comes at you like that IN LOVE You kick em Knowledge about LANGUAGE.This right here is TRUE BLACK RAP. Rap Music was about Talking about Whats going on(Marvin Gaye) But more importantly how to lift us up. Used to be a Crime for more then 2 Blacks to congregate publicly. Young Blacks recognize, & Represent!

[louilouiloui]

"Tell it, Doctor!"..Cornel West is funny llol

[Satchel]

Dyson is hyped up in this. I pity President Obama for all the pressure he has on him. But I'm sure he's tough enough to handle it.

[DeineKreativeSeite]

Such an awesome human beeing. Passion and knowledge. I idolize this person.

[mercylyn]

gyson is a beast!jheezz!!!i wanna b able to speak like him!

[VenusRify]

Dyson went in I pray one day i can speak like him.

[parisone]

The Professor is Dead on it Pharaoh is just who Obama is acting like in his Seat.

[kudabeen]

@holydisciplex I was thinking the same thing...Unmitigated Unapologetic Truth and Passion not only begs reflection, but lifts those around it to experience the same "high"...You don't have to be smoking it to get that contact high and Farrakhan for all of negative connotations applied to his persona IS a guy you want to be effected by if you care about reality in this country. I'm not a Muslim, but I am human. Anyone able to articulate the human condition with both compassionate clarity is legit

[thisischrisbliss]

@sherrellboo09 HAHA. Dr. West is one of my favorite intellects but yes, his mannerisms crack me up. Love him for it, though. Way better than the conventional monotonic professor.

[cassidine]
