Groups like Public Enemy did just fine with the same story telling misconstrued messages, black American culture wants more gang related lyrics not African that none of you all know about
@@kermin346there was so many other conscious and political artists at the time: intelligent hoodlum, paris ,pe ,brand nubian and beyond if you study this type of hip hop and historical information a song like this won't be lost on you ❤.
I was a white kid who loved hip hop starting in the late 80s. I rocked Xclan first album in 90 when I was 12. They were so dope there was no way I couldn’t listen to them. This is from their 2nd album-absolute fire still
I remember when being pro black was cool as kids we didn't really understand we just wanted to look like our favorite rappers back then. Anyone that says music doesn't influence the youth is crazy. I'm pro black as an adult as well. We need these messages for the kids now.
makeithappen It's OK to be gay. It's OK to express acceptance of gay people. Just like it's OK to be black and it's OK for non blacks to express acceptance of black people as equals. Don't be a bigot. Peace out, young man.
I'm ashamed to say i was awaken in 1997 at the age of 12 and never listened to this brothers. It wasn't until july of 2018 I heard them. I recall Nas making comments about them via song but still didn't seek them out. I will say they are definitely in the top 3 of dope groups. Salute and Peace
live from the 717 They had an image of Patrice Lumumba on their first album cover. The late Professor X,aka Lumumba Carson,son of black nationalist Sonny Carson,was named after him as well.
I remember back in 1992 when this album dropped...I walked it from Fort Greene Pjays 2 beat street record shop located on Fulton in downtown at that time & rocking my red black green cross colors with the red black green Zulu Nation African beads
Brother J was interviewed for the book series, *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. In this quote he talks about using his voice. "That inner voice of talent tells you where to lift your voice up at and where to drop it and where to ride and bounce and play at. That’s not a joke, that separates Gladys Knight from “I sing well in the shower”-it’s two different worlds."
My introduction to X-Clan was late, probably around 2004. It was the height of the Quanam crew's popularity. I went to a Lifesavas show at the DNA lounge X-Clan opened for them and my mind was blown. Hands down one of the best shows I've ever been to. I still remember my date pointing out Lyrics Born drunk as shit and dancing like a maniac in the corner. Thank you all for spreading your art.
I remember watching this video as a kid and only understanding it through the visuals, 25 years later I just bumped into it, I am English speaking now and it is as potent today as it was potent then. Music videos really supported the narrative and tone of what was said back in those glorious days.Some will argue it is the same today but WTF is being said?
This JAM, is tough! Visionaries, loved this group when I was in college. Now at 49, I see it differently spiritually. They were wag ahead of the curb (entertainment) For brothas that know the scriptures, we see a lot of pagan imagery and idolatry. They are on point with the Black Nationalist movement.... Lean into the Hebrew and remove the Egyptian imagery and idolatry and they’d really be on point.
At 0:18, X-Clan was showing that when the European came and stole the science and spiritual doctrines of the African people, it through the planet into chaos. The Neo European did not know, and still does not know that which is the god-head and that is God in incarnate.
This is the way rap was going "Pro Black" the White power structure saw the writing on the wall. Black unity? O hell no. That is why you have the wack, shit we have today. Who is the best rapper now? Eminem? Yea right.
White dude again. In retrospect, 92 was one of the last years for the pro black style. By late 92, Onyx, Cypress (91 actually), Lords Of Underground, PR & CL Smooth, Pharcyde, Showbiz & AG, DITC, and then ultimately the Chronic moved hip hop towards more hood style. By 93, you wouldn’t dare see someone in African attire like Xclan. Some view it as a push by record companies to break up the pro black style, I’d say that might by one factor but also hip hop is a an ever moving art form where a style can be in one minute and out the next, especially back then and we were open to newer, grittier styles. It’s still the greatest music era ever-the golden era
HIP HOP needs to get back to this! 80s/90s hip hop was my era and it taught us to have knowledge of self and have fun. But somewhere along the way, Music execs. (The jews) put a stop to this and created "gangsta rap" to fill the prisons.
WING CHUN BLACK DRAGON The Jews DIDNT Create gangsta rap tho! What they did was even MORE Diabolical, See in the late 80s & early 90s groups like NWA, Public Enemy, BDP & Others started talking about the oppression of Black people in this country as well as the CONSTANT Police Brutality towards black youth IN Songs like " Fuck The Police" " Black Cop" It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" Express Yourself" Cant Trust It" THE WHITE MEDIA ( Jews) DID NOT LIKE THIS Form Of Hip Hop!! They were used to us just saying rhymes like " hip hop hippi ti the hippi to hip hop" BUT When we started saying things like FUCK THE POLICE, & Saying it BOLDLY,& Defiantly!! It scared white people,.. SO Just like they did with Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, & any other PRO BLACK Organization They used the media to Make US LOOK Menacing, evil & scary to the rest of the country!! So to make Hip Hop LOOK BAD They Came up with this " Gangster Rap"!! Making Hip Hop seem menacing & scary, when in actuality it was THE Police,, & the U.S. Government that were the REAL Gangstas!! 👌✔💯
On the front line you'll find the government swine got they self caught up in a bind !!!🔥 🔥 2019 clearly this still applies!! Much respect to X-Clan !!

LTee313 I had this cassette. It was good. But yeah, rap artists aren't pro-black anymore. They're pro-making-money. Sad right?
True yell

This is the way rap was going "Pro Black" the White power structure saw the writing on the wall. Black unity? O hell no. That is why you have the wack, shit we have today. Who is the best rapper now? Eminem? Yea right.
ashton blankenship
You mad bro?
I'm chill. Somebody had pissed me off.
lol
Just like they did the panthers, they didn’t want to see black unity in hip hop. That’s why everything is dumbed down now
You right they did want rap like this because it was waking people up the elites couldn't have that.
X clan are golden light spirits who knew who and what they are. GOLDEN LIGHT CHILDREN OF FATHER AND MOTHER GOD OF MANIFESTATION. SELAH

The beat sounds like Fantasy by Miles Davis.
+Marady Mon they both used the E.S.G. sample but there are several people sampled here. Parliament, The Turtles and Ohio Players to name a few
