      Our wonderful black President got 3 times as many US GIs killed from '08-'16 in A'Stan than George Bush did Comrades...after Campaigning to, "End all Wars and Fundamentally Transform Amerika", Barack Hussein Obama, 2008...Now his only Legacy is Hate the White Man, Cop Killing, Smash and Grabs, Car Jackings, and a Bloodbath of Black on Black Shootings EVERYDAY in EVERY Democrat (Plantation) City in America.

    Everyone who are trying to compare versions and saying one is superior to another are just missing the point. If the supposition that music is language is true, if a single example becomes the only accepted version then that song or genre becomes as dead as Latin. Fela is alive because people are still finding his truths in their own ways.
