    Just stop and imagine if 2Pac lived and was present at this block party event. Self-preservation is key my melanated brethren & sistren + allies/adjacents. Stay woke, no matter what negative connotation they try to pin to it. Consciousness is NEVER a bad thing.

    Wow what a coincidence, I was watching funny clips of Dave Chapelle hours and hours ago and for the past half hour I was listening to Mos Def and I stumbled upon this video with them together!! YEEESSS!!!

      Ain’t no coincidence, bruh. You manifested that. We all are creating everyday, even when we consciously don’t know it. It’s like your Higher Self brought that together.

      They would've torn the roof off (even tho they were outside)!

      Magik arp This wasn't about turning it up or amping a crowd. You could bump this shit at a funeral. This the type of shit that makes me proud to be Black. I like gangsta shit too-no doubt. But this brings up the property value. IMO.
