Welcome to Blackish University! Griots of a modern world.
Now more than ever, we lack access to the older generations that have credible information about the world around us.
Our school system releases specific information and corporations, which own our media and are very selective with the information shared with the people.
Sometimes, you need assistance and guidance a normal university just can’t provide.
What exactly is a griot (gree-oh)? Since the 13th century, the people of West Africa have relied on griots to help spread knowledge from generation to generation. They were storytellers and musicians, but most importantly, they were oral historians of their communities.
Let's be real. Our information is manipulated and censored. Schools and Universities will teach us the same garbage about Christopher Columbus while leaving out information about Africa, weird stories about Antarctica, Black Wall Street, Native Americans, Civil Rights, Racism in America...etc.

Love his music he mentions the pineal gland in his music heard one song called "inspired by fat after the Beyonce concert" there he mentions our flesh is opposing the third eye
King cobras have hoods on their heads. The actual snake. Pushed 40 oz through the hood means the snake poking his head out.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written for me.
great reaction, really enjoyed your commentary
funny to see this on my recommendations. This is my cousin. I loved him man. a lot of people did. When he passed a few weeks later he was inducted into Austin's music hall of fame. JT is a blues legend in Austin and in many places that blues is appreciated. sometimes you would walk onto 6th street and he'd be playing live in a some of the bars they have there. Everyone knew him and he was respected as such. always fun to be around and humble too. My 2nd cousin, his nephew has a video of him playing the guitar with his teeth live at a concert. it was amazing.
He was 100% disrespecting & embarrassing her.
Stop correcting that man! Your confused not Daylyt!! 💯💯💯
Who has better wordplay??? I'll wait 😎🔥💯 Love & Respect
Exactly the kind of video I was looking for for this specific song! That first verse is definitely one of my favorite verses of all time because of the rhyme scheme
I appreciate your efforts in breaking down Aes' work. You really nailed it when you mentioned that a certain level of intellect is needed to fully appreciate the lyrics. However, I would add that it also requires a great deal of work and research to fully dive into all the references this modern-day Shakespeare incorporates into each song. Aes is a genius, and I believe his work will be more appreciated in the future than it is now.
Had to sub off the strength of this breakdown! And big facts on some of the younger reviewers missing out of so many the layered references he makes in these amazingly crafted rhymes. This album is a layer cake!
The 90s was such a rough decade. Just in the US, you had Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Murrah Federal Building bombing, and Columbine, among many others. In the Second World, you had the fall of the Soviet Union, the Yugoslav Wars, the rise of some of the most intense corruption, economic depression, and gang warfare ever seen, the North Korean famine. The Third World saw the Rwandan Genocide and the African World Wars. It's not hard to imagine living through that decade and wondering if the world was about to end.
Where is the full interview by them
Mad respect. However, you’re OVERanalyzing
Ottoman Empire, Ghana Empire was a great Empire as well. The current Ghana which used to be called Gold Coast before and under the colonial rule was named after the Great Ghana Empire. I believe he is making that comparison. The hype the western empires and look down on great African Empires. Timbuktu for example is recorded to have the first university. Timbuktu is current day Mali in the west Africa which was also the head of the Ghana Empire. Actually that part pulled me to this song because I'm from Ghana and currently going through political struggle with the Dutch Government. I will tell you more about this when you respond and if you are interested. The team of the song fits my sound track so perfectly!. Cheers brother you are doing a great job breaking this down!
Key, keyway is a Swahili word for crip used in California like how damu means blood
When he said "Uterus u know the flow"...he was literally talking about a womans period #bars
Thank you. Such a great album!!
Thank you for this
This whole album is incredible!!
Please, please, PLEASE react to 'The Greatest Pac-Man Victory in History'. It is from his fourth studio album 'Bazooka Tooth', and the second verse is one of my favorite verses in all of hip-hop. I would love to see someone intelligent review it
As others in the comments have said, Aes is a genius and his songs are some of the best poetry of our time. He uses metaphors to tell stories throughout each song, and if one is willing to take enough time to get a modicum of understanding of what he is referencing then they will be in for a treat. I am happy to see an intelligent breakdown of his work, this vid earned you another subscriber.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This channel just came to a halt out of nowhere
I hope you enjoyed some of the content!
@@BlackishUniversity yes sir! Any plans on continuing with consistent uploads?
I love this song so much. It's about him and his 2 sibling and the way he feels about his mothers emotional distance and the way this affected him.
You skipped the "I'm from Philly I'm ready to rumble" referencing Rocky 🥊
Come back bro!
Why cant we get HipHop like as mainstream anymore...
20:50...naw, no 7 train in philly, just the orange line [south to north on broad st.] and the blue line [west to northeast]...must be talking 'bout the 7 train in nyc...
*Arachnophobia Maybe a little wordplay on Iraq... Black petroleum was the reason it was invaded, but initially, they had to instill fear into the hearts and minds of the American people to seem legit (Fear of spiders/Anansi/the Black man) Phobias are usually an IRRATIONAL fear, and fearing a spider is crazy because it serves the important purpose of ridding pests from your home, so essentially, you NEED it the same way they need Black people to be the number one consumers in Capitalist America...These are just my takeaways as I do not claim to speak on behalf of Mr. Trotter a.k.a. Black Thought
This is a banger man you gotta do more Lyt
Ned/Elvis?
You should type it into the defense lawyers they appear to be the only ones investigating anything in this case
Great reaction and breakfown of the lyrics, but man are you terrible at pausing when you want to 😂 all love
Chimera are also fish that live in the deep deep ocean, so he eats (or lives ) at the lowest but flys (or when he gets high) he feels close to heaven there is no middle ground for him
Marlon is a beast, a true lyricist!
When he said you got bruse daddy chopped the brick down put the clip in. That is bruse jenner sex change cut his pee pee off the clip is the tampon. Every single word he says has three meanings
Nice breakdown. While I agree with your point about the dancers, I actually think they are a visual reference to the term 'Asphalt Ballet', which is slang for crashing a motorcycle.
7:00 Canibus released that track in 2007 which means he released it after this song came out. I don't think Lupe is doing some layered stuff like Canibus but this song certainly is layered (atleast the first verse lol). Anyways, only a handful of people know about that Canibus track. I've subscribed because of it. ❤😊
Do wolf rusty
Best reaction to this track.
'Everybody looking up at the sky for God to work(Forgot to work) Well i was made in the Image of God, it gotta work (it's God at work)"
Fun fact: I learned as a kid that I can wake myself up from a bad dream or anything dream simply by closing my eyes tightly in the dream itself.
Go for guts
I'm sorry to all the real rappers in the history of rap, but I put this verse by this first dude as the greatest in the history of rap.
woah your ancestors are cape verdian im cape verdian too if you give me your last names or your ancestors last name i can tell you what island they are from
That's the definition of art. You make it and people get what they get out of it 😊
He adopts a lot of animals
We uses tchotchke in the moving company I worked for. You are right they are annoying useless top load crap.😂 Gotta protect their precious moments 😊
