@@FrogToadBug Yoooooo, good morning! K, I checked those out! Brother Ali, in my opinion is a Guru; you can feel it in his words alone. Then I saw a newer video and Holy Crap, is is LITERALLY a Guru! I am finally where he is in life now, and I wouldn't go back to my old life for the world 😊 Now, Bambu. I didn't know which song to select, but I clicked on Welcome To The Party. Oh My Gosh!

He really means it and there's soul in it, but he's a couple decades off on the message. Next he's gonna make a song about how it's such a big problem that horses are shitting in the streets when people ride them to work and how we need to find a better, more mechanically sophisticated way to get around.

Kobina Jamieson I mean, in one form or another. My analogy wasn’t absolutely perfect. But in any practical sense that warrants a song trying to sway society, it’s not happening. It’s all on more of a smaller scale that society as a whole can’t necessarily do more about.

This person is a true poet, with the upmost integrity telling us about how he feels about the (I love this one) United Snakes. So Brother Ali, just letting you know: I'm gonna buy an album man, support this kind of music: smart, critical and true!
