The Red, The Black & The green he's speaking to the colors of The Pan-African flag, which was created as a response to racism against African Americans in 1920 with the help of Marcus Garvey. The African Master Key represents the concept of "life" or "the key to life.
😂He’s dissing KRS-One @7:45 - And the voice to a many going verb to verb,Sit back and take heed, brother you must learn! These lines were a dig at KRS-One, who was a “self-proclaimed humanist”. KRS and X-Clan had many clashes over their conflicting approaches - X-Clan’s black nationalism vs. KRS' more inclusive humanism. Brother J remembered the beef in Brian Coleman’s book Check the Technique:
@ it wasn’t about battle on mic, Brother J was displaying. Brother J is a Black Nationalist for his people first and KRS was trying to be a humanist and trying to have everyone hold hands and build, but Brother J wasn’t with it. It was like: “I can be friends with you all day, but before we’re going to build organizations together, let me get my people together first, so we can come as a focused weapon.”
@BornSavior555 we know this brother I've seen the behind the scenes about the beef. But they're rappers with knowledge of self first..... But still rappers. If they wanted to they both could of had a debate but they still choose to rap which made it a what...... BATTLE. Don't do that cause you're not schooling me on something I already know. I'm 54. Relax.
He’s actually taking shots at KRS -1! The Self Destruction and you must learn lines both refer to KRS -1 who always said he was the teacher! Those are the names of his songs.
Tha sample on this song is fruma Nigerian percussionist named Fela Kuti. Fela is dope. U might wanna check out sum of his work. U might b reactn 2 sum of tha incredible artist that Hip-Hop artist sampled back in tha day.
Another certified dopified reaction!!! Back when kickin' knowledge of self was in effect mode... You should check out: Camp Lo - Luchini AKA This Is It or Camp Lo - Cooley High, one day. One of the most creative and lyrical hip hop groups of all time - bar none!!
Awwweee Man this use to be my group. X Clan was 🔥🔥🔥 Back in the day I used to rap and everyone use to compare me to Lin Que/Isis, If you know you know.😉
Your next lesson should be Ras Kass "Nature of the Threat". I made it a point to play this track every Friday/Saturday morning when I was on the radio. This was from October 1996 until September 2005. I remember telling Ras when he came in for an interview that his song would be in constant rotation as long as I was on the air. This song might be why I'm not on the radio now???
This is what we grew up on! Blessed! I'm so grateful to grow up in this era. Lyrics were tight with meaning! Flow had to be tight as well. And a beat on point.
It’s not your fault boogie . 89-93 during hip hop we studied. We attained knowledge of self. We never pass that knowledge down to next generation. That why your generation is the generation not giving a F
You gotta listen to Big L's Stretch & Bobbito 1998 freestyle. Big L was on a totally different level, your reaction listening to it will be priceless bro! 😅
Oh yeah…and the main sample (Schoolboy Crush by Average White Band) on this beat was also used on Microphone Fiend by Eric B & Rakim, and Think About It by Special Ed.
Boogie....if u like that one.....try listening to "Verbal Milk" by X-Clan. It's on that same album. Matter fact that whole album is lit!🔥 "Verbal Milk" is a banger....and he's really bringing some serious knowledge on that one!
Great reaction Please react to BLACK SHEEP “The Choice is Yours” Heltah Skeltah “Operation Lockdown” LL Cool J “ I shot ya” Remix Busta Rhyme “Put your hands where my eyes can see”

Your next X-Clan video should be for the song titled A.D.A.M. His flow is so smooth it's INSANE!
He is taking shots at 3rd base , they had a little rivalry but also respected each other

TRUTH!!!!!! WE DIDNT PASS DOWN THE TRADITIONS OF OUR ANCESTORS TO OUR CHILDREN LIKE OUR PARENTS AND GRAND PARENTS DID FOR US...
The best joint on this classic album.
Raise The Flag?
It's knowledge of self in his words. One of my favorite songs on my playlist. This what we bopped to as GenX black children.
Good one Youngblood. This song is so much deeper than you realize, but you're learning. You caught more than I thought you might.
What's up Boogie? Please check out
Apache - Gangsta B1tch

Boogie Down Productions- You Must Learn
I think he did it already, you can search
I know he has done My Philosophy
He did it on his other channel ImBoogie 2.0
Since you love this beat, hit up Microphone Fiend, by Eric B. and Rakim. You’ll wind up adding that to your playlist too.
He did it already
That's right shout out the ancestors
Bran Nubian "Slow Down" is another dope song
That was Professor X’s famous tagline….”by the way…VAINGLORIOUS…THIS IS PROTECTED BY THE RED, THE BLACK AND THE GREEN…WITH A KEY…SISSSYYYYYYYY!!!!…..”
Redman -blow your mind
X-clan - Exodus, Adam
Red Black and Green - Africa colors
X clan - A day of outrage (3rd Base diss)
Just keep listening to what the old heads recommend brotha.

Glad you did this one Boogie!!! 🫶🏾🙏🏾👏🏾
