	joey	yeah its real talk but hopefully your not dignifying me, the white man, as being their real enemy. the real enemy is the person within themselves. the youth of america needs to dig down deep within themselves and find their way to success. instead of being the problem, they need to find out how they can become the solution to the problem. i grew up in new york city. i have always supported your music. i grew up in the ghetto. i grew up in some places where i was the only white boy around. i always held down a job. i always worked for mine. a lot of times it was a bullshit job but i did what i did legally to earn some money. sometimes it was just pocket change but it got me by. i was also a US Army soldier. I fought in Iraq twice. I am a real warrior! its upsetting that you or any other person would call these young kids warriors. Maybe if they enlisted in the US military you can call them that. I saw many of my buddies get killed in Iraq. You cannot call these young street toughs warriors. You can call them a bunch of punk-ass b*tches. I say lf they wanna be tough guys then get their asses down to the military recruiters and sign them up and ship them off to iraq and afghanistan. when i was in iraq often times me and fellow soldiers would say we should get all the crips and bloods and other gangs and sign them up in the army and ship them off to war. these guys love playing with guns so much lets have them benefit america by using these guys against our real enemies. they like playing with guns so much. they think their gangstas. lets take that and use it in a positive way. send them off to iraq and afghanistan.   Posted by joey on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 8:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Ses Alu Mu	THE REAL ENEMY IS LIKE YOU STATED "WITHIN", NAS ISN'T PREACHING TO THE CHOIR BUT THE MESSAGE ISN'T REACHING IT'S FULL EFFECT OR CAPACITY DUE TO THE IGNORANT MIND CONDITIONING THATS PLAGUED THE GLOBE AND MOREOVER THE MOST POWERFUL RACE ON THE PLANET, THE AUTHENTIC BLACK MAN. IN HIS OWN SELF DIGNIFYING THE JUST KING BECOMES HIS OWN UNDOING INTO THE UNJUST PEASANT...HOW COME? MIND CONDITIONING, THE TONGUE IS STILL THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN EXISTENCE THAT CAN BE WEILDED BY MAN AND ITS EFFECT IS RECOGNIZED THE WORLD OVER NOT JUST IN THE CHI. AS FAR AS YOU AND YOUR BRIGHT IDEA OF WAR BEING A POSITIVE IN ANYWAY IS THE EXACT KIND OF MIND CONDITIONING I'M REFERING TO. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, ONE EARTH, WE ARE ALL OF THIS HOME WITH ONE CREATOR WHY THEN SHOULD WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR ANYTHING? HARMONY IS THE ANSWER ONLY ITS FAR TOO LATE FOR THE WORLD TO JUST SNAP OUT OF IT. 2012 IS VERY REAL AND SHAMBALAH IS ALSO VERY REAL, THE WORLD IS HEADING INTO SOME DARK DAYS SOON AND ONLY THR TRULY FREE WILL SEE ETERNITY, FREE YOUR MIND SIR AND HELP AS MANY AS YOU CAN TO FREE THEIRS.   Posted by Ses on Saturday, October 10, 2009 - 8:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Serg	As like NAS said, let's think..! Who are we really going to war for... and do you really believe we went to Irak to save our freedom and defend our Liberty.  Do you by chance ever doubt that perhaps you too were fighting the wrong war and therefore invading another man's house and therefore undoubtedly you too couldn't possibly be considered a warrior? Look I respect you and the USA soldier, but there is no doubt that we need to think and ultimately act for ourselves, without being employed to act in a group and as a cause for the misfortune of others..  n remember... there is no honor behind a loaded gun.   Posted by Serg on Saturday, October 10, 2009 - 8:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Mr. Espinoza Jimmy Espinoza	Well Joe I recognize white guilt and I dont buy that shit for a minute.  yeah lets send them to war, so they can come back 'home' to deal with that PTSD bullshit, homelessness, addiction, and everything else veterans in this country go through.  just cuz you grew up around black people doesnt make you an expert on whether we call todays youth 'warriors' or not.  as a society we need to build our youth up. encourage them. words can do that. and that's what Nas was trying to do. and in these times we need to support our youth, with alot more than just a 'imma put you in the Army cuz its good for ya', schtick.   Posted by Mr. Espinoza on Monday, October 05, 2009 - 8:44 AM [Reply to this]

	StringBean	it is easier to seek wealth than virtue it is easier to seek revenge over peace as warriors, nothing has ever come easy to us from my grandfather fighting for African freedom from colonists, to your ancestors fighting for their rights against the slave masters our predicament is a complex one, it is easier to attain wealth through negative means, genuine attempts to succeed are harder for us with darker skin, this is no excuse our path is only harder because we are stronger, in choosing the easier path, we will never reach our full potential never do our forefathers justice never manifest our true destiny and that is to live and die as warriors, not of street wars, but of noble causes, not just for us but the entire human race, because at the end of it all, we are all one.   Posted by StringBean on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 8:41 PM [Reply to this]

	G®	So long as "Hip-Hop" is being misreprensented, that's just how long these "warriors" will be fighting the wrong war. I see it on a regular basis here in the hood. Hell! I have to patch 'em up and run 'em to the E.R. while the smoke is still thick in the air. What do you do when you can't or don't know how to get what you see on T.V.?: Money, Power, Respect, "Hoes"? what do you do? If you don't know any better or are just too lazy to put your mind to use? Then I guess we give in to our lower self, our animal instinct: kill or live in fear of gettin' killed. Yeah...this sh!t does suck!   Posted by G® on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 8:42 PM [Reply to this]
