@@juliedavis7445 Technically Arabic people live in the north of Africa, so no African doesn't equal black. (But yeah, the black diaspora is one big family, on that I agree ♥)
@@bre9328 It makes reference to blacks overseas too and I saw a Jamaican flag in the video. By the way, african culture is in all of us in the diaspora...Louisiana culture is even heavily influenced by Afro Caribbean enslaved people that were sent there. I'm a history/africana professor, there is alot of evidence of this all around..study the history.
Crack and Collard Greens!!!!! That line is layered, nuanced, and complex AF! Inside and Outside. War and Love. White and Black. Death and Life. The juxtaposition and irony of that line….the same people broken up by crack, broken by crack, just broken BE THE SAME PEOPLE brought back together, healed, loved, nourished through them Collard Greens at Big Mama’s table
Yep. Very dope line. Although, I wish I didn't know wut it meant lol. So many lives were destroyed and still being destroyed just not advertised as much.
@@dawnc.3711 very true and also is that while crack killed our parents them collard greens are killing us. And vice versa. They both provided a way. Both were the leftovers. The scraps we used to make due. Innovation and struggle. A way out and the way in. Crack killed us in the 80s and forty years later collard greens killing ya. Both served and made in grandma's kitchen and her table.
Exactly every other so called Kin (whom came from us) gets to be unapologetically proud 👏🏿. However we ONLy one's supposed to be HUMBLE, WE SO ACCOMMODATING AT OUR OWNS EXPENSE. JUST scared dense and docile. GOD PLEASE take the wheel TODAY BUMP SOME DAY.
Listening to this makes me feel like I’m at a spoken word event at a Black bookstore, surrounded by my people, Afros fluffed, braids swinging, locs freshly twisted, Melanated skin glistening from Shea butter and perfumed in Egyptian musk and patchouli.
Black is rice and peas, old skool on Sunday’s, leftovers on Monday’s. cocoa butter skin and chillin with your kin. Black is Callaloo. Yellow yam, Durags, wraps and sagging jeans. Robert Nesta Marrley, Curtis Mayfield and MJB. Black is Acts of faith , Bell Hooks and the spoken word. Dominoes, Bun and Cheese and the Sound Factor bar NY in the 90’s. Black is Shubeens and rent parties in London back-in-the-day. I love my black folks and Tank and the Bangas Real talk🔥🔥🔥👊🏿
What´s going on? Am i dead and in heaven? First Moonchild, now Masego... What´s next? Paris Match, Cornelius, Young Fathers, The Internet, Oddisee? Thanks for that, once more, beautyful piece of art & much love from an old, white guy from Germany
Genius! I love it! This is real music. This feels good, enriching, enchanting, consistently pleasing to my groove, warms my heart, melts my souls, gives my rhythm clear direction in a tamed yet untamed beat. I love this! I love my Black folk that make black music!

But? African =Black. We all family. The whole diaspora

@@juliedavis7445 African isn't the same culture like black American, which is who the song is made for. That's why the person made the distinction

This should be the "Black History Month Anthem" 🖤
My first thought.
Black History Year Anthem, even! Yesss!
Yep! I thought the same thing, it’s brilliant, nostalgic and empowering!!💯💯👏🏾
YEah
this is easily one of the most beautiful song they've ever made.
💯
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
This is a Black history month masterpiece!!! 💖Love and support all of these artists!!!💯
This is the feel good song you play at a cookout with all the family there!!

I'm a product of the 504, Retired Educator! Keep teaching and reaching! Love lyrics! Black Folk!

Me neither...but dope is dope right!. Big up Tank and her bangas
The diaspora reaches far and wide. Roots run deep to the DNA. We feel it internally. Tank & Bangas are like that…
From the same tree 🌳 sis you good.❤
@@terencedawson3142 exactly we are all African
Blackness: isn't a matter of what u eat or the way u walk or talk. It's a matter of Dignity & Pride, it's the way u Think, Feel & Conduct your Life...

All those facts...
Magic to my ears. Joy to my heart. The arrow moves forward my black peoples!
Tank And The Bangas is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for them one day.
