      Spot on. There is one race - the human race. Racism is a thing, but it's based on race, which scientifically speaking, isn't actually a thing. Maybe when humanity is fighting to the death against a superior alien race one day, we'll finally realise that we have more that unites us than divides us, but it will be too late by then..... 😕

    In an age where everyone is forgotten except the likes of Tupac, Biggie, Ice Cube, and LL-Cool J, etc... (2 had to die and the others had to become movie stars) I'm glad that you are doing something like this. We should remember our positive black entertainers without them having to be in the news or die. Missy, Timberland, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, that whole clique influenced millions of us in a positive way as pre-teens and teens. From the way we talk to our style of dress, even our choices of who we consider attractive... They DON'T get enough credit for all they've done for the community.

In the beginning he was a good influence for the kids who grew up with nothing and felt like all they had was what they were raised in. But unfortunately he got too involved in gangs and it ultimately lead to his demise. But i wouldn't go as far to say that nothing he ever said or did was beneficial. If people think that then they probably didn't listen much. As for Biggie i dont really remember him ever talking about bigger societal problems so...yeah he didn't do much for people lol

I might take it back a little further to somebody like Rammellzee, or Afrika Bambaataa himself (with the Soul Sonic Force), who helped start this whole Hip-Hop thing. So there have been elements of Afro-futurism in Hip-Hop from the beginning.

    Afrofuturism is legit one of my favorite African/African American Lit Sub-genre as well as fashion/aesthetic and music genre. Janelle Monae's ArchAndroid/Dirty Computer musical story telling (see her albums in chronological order to put story together), Missy's videos, Timbaland's music composition, Black Panther (comics), Static Shock, and many others are such amazing examples of afrofuturism.

    #1 She's killing it in a trash bag.
    #2 The Cameo's (SWV, 702, Yo-yo, Total, Lil Kim, Puffy, Da Bray and Lil Cease). I think it shows a time when the music industry was just chill and everyone was good with one another regardless of what label they were signed to.

Also, The music video, "Scream" from Janet and Michael Jackson was such a hit and what may been the first representation of Afro-futurism in the 1990s.

    Another awesome video! Idk if anyone's ever told you Heallease, but you look a lot like Ngzoi Paul from Da Kink in My Hair! I had to Google to make sure you weren't her going under a new name 😂

    This video is outstanding. For years I have been watching Missy Elliot in amazement but I could never really gather the words to explain what I was experiencing. This video did it and all I can say is, yep.
    Beautifully done my internet cousins.

    I 💖this trip down memory lane into the future. The summer Supa Dupa Fly dropped, I was turning 36. I bought the cd, and cassette tape. On a long drive to to take my kids, then 15 and 12, down south, I wore them out and they learned the songs front to back. My young black nerds had risen to the next level! You ladies just gave me life with this millennial recap. Keep up the good work, this granny is subscribed to take the ride. Peace & Conscious Intuition, Queen AnkhEarth ☕️♍️
