    Brother J wrote the first X Clan album when he was only 19. His father was a Freemason, which influenced his rhymes, & outlook on the world. I bought thier debut album when I was 9 (To The East Blackwords). It opened my young white mind to a perspective that otherwise, I never would have had. My mom let me have it because there wasn't any cussing. Professor X was the son of black revolutionary Sonny Carson, & was involved in the early HipHop scene in Brooklyn (club Dark, the rooftop, Union Square Ballroom). They were completely original, & innovative. Brother J's voice was so Unique. My favorite line comes from thier second album, the song is "Fire, & Earth". Brother J raps "... I remember all the times that you called me an animal, but in Milwaukee there's a Cannibal..." in reference to Jeffery Dhalmer.

    I am one "white man" who finds myself listening to this over and over, along with X-Clan's "funkin lesson" song. I wonder why X-Clan, KRS-One, Public Enemy and other conscious rappers get little to no airtime on hip-hop radio stations, while those stations play the Little Wayne and Rick Ross songs that talk about nothing but how much money they have over and over. Could it be because the power-that-be that own such stations want to keep the masses - black, white and entire human race dumb and dumber? One reason that I listen to these over and over is not only the dope beats, but because I want to contemplate what Brother J says. One does not really need to contemplate what Lil Wayne, Ross, Juicy J, etc. have to say does one? And so people continue to hear his story instead of learning history.

      The reason I don't agree with these military scientist experts is because they like many others hugh Heffner and you harvardites is because you are not sticking to a particular subject Armageddon and where you going😅😂 to go when the money runs out and no place to lay your head and the god damn man including me Jesus the Christ all agree that you are not allowed to eat anything even when you have money to pay for the food all along the tri state area because you like like king Solomon himself and the pharisees herself are unappreciative of what you do have and we're not taught b.a.s.ic. survival skills that many black leaders like Farrakhan do have. So let the poppers pop and the breakers break and be for real with yourself and m.o.v.e.

      Hey you military scientist Harvardites exclusive and you fundamentalist cannonballist we finally are moving in the tanks in Washington DC so to disturb the underground railroad because of president Bidens miscues as the head of state this the second time for him as president . The Harry S Truman he was a racist then and if you listen closely instead listening to the new new gangster rap and or gangster luv music he is still a bigot today who would rather switch on the issues of Armageddon than tell officials the truth so he could finally get off airplane one get a good meal a shower and a clean place to lay bigot ass head and be real with ex official Don Trump on the NAFTA issue starting with the inauguration of the late president Bill Clinton and his two faced wife Hillary who he claims were in paradise in the 1950s when racist Harry S. Truman now khown as Joe Biden in my opinion they should all need a douche.

    • @Bernard-sp7nz

      Bernie Blanchard feels that this underground metro in DC is a little bit too much for you to handle so in my opinion you should step aside and let someone who has a better grip on things like the sellout to all people Cory Booker the nigroe senator from New Jerusalem Jesus Christ home state knowledge born a quarter to the pawn on the observed holiday of Christmas A D. 1970.
