I’m often asked, “why do you speak about gangs and being a gangster, and why do you use profanity if you profess to be a Muslim and a changed person?”
I respond by using the analogy of a mathematician or a calculus professor…when they go to the market for groceries and they pay in cash, they still use addition and subtraction to count their change, don’t they?
Elevating from a level doesn’t necessarily include forgetting all of the nuances of the level from which you’ve graduated. The audience I choose to target is the audience from which I derived. I do believe… I know how to get a reaction from that audience.
The great Black American writer Robert “ Sonny” Carson from Orangeburg SC wrote a monumental Black American film called The Education of Sonny Carson. It’s been quoted and sampled in multiple hip hop compositions.
Sonny: I got a message for Smokey
The Lords: Give it
Sonny: if u ain’t Smokey, it ain’t yo mothafuckin message !!!!

Now let that sink in Akhi
