Saafir was a dope people I met him in the parking lot of the grand theater. He walked past me and I said oh my God it’s you he shook my hand. We had a 10 second conversation he says come with me to my car. He reaches in pushes the eject button on his car CD player and handed me a burn disc on the front of you was the hit list. I had that album three years before it came out I cheers that CD because I had listened to saucy nomad as a child and was never the same until this day when I hear his music and play his music it hit different and it will always hit different. The saucy nomad lives forever.
"Give it to him at the light like Kanes cousin Harold". People seldom speak on saafir. Only one I knew outside of pac that had the nose ring and it wasn't corny.

Mad respect Dregs I didn't know about this. I got Box car sessions album at amoeba on tele. N all the junction tapes there too love those guys. They put West-O on your underground hip Hopper's minds when Hiero n mystik Journeymen were reppin real hip hop from the East O. I met Mike dream bk then too at Hilltop mall. "Night n day...keep it on swole." Whoridas roll out. 1 luv to West O dog town ghost 👻 town.
IT'S TOO BAD HE WON'T GET TOO MUCH PUB FROM HIS DEATH, VERY UNDER APPRECIATED ARTIST IN MY OPINION. WAY TOO GIFTED AND LIFTED. SHOULD'VE BEEN A MUTANT X-MEN....STYLES IS WILD!!!!!!
If Digital Underground is compared to 2pac (after Digital) then they are a high school talent show. 2pac eclipsed Shock G. and Money B. 30 times at least.

So why did he say, "oh my gosh, it's you". I need more context.

DAMN. REST SOLDIER.
THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY’S TEN POINT PROGRAM 1972
1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black and oppressed communities.
We believe that Black and oppressed people will not be free until we are able to determine our destinies in our own communities ourselves, by fully controlling all the institutions which exist in our communities.
2. We want full employment for our people.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every person employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the American businessmen will not give full employment, then the technology and means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.
3. We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our Black and oppressed communities.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million Black people. Therefore, we feel this is a modest demand that we make.
4. We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
We believe that if the landlords will not give decent housing to our Black and oppressed communities, then housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that the people in our communities, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for the people.
5. We want decent education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of the self. If you do not have knowledge of yourself and your position in the society and in the world, then you will have little chance to know anything else.
6. We want completely free health care for all Black and oppressed people.
We believe that the government must provide, free of charge, for the people, health facilities which will not only treat our illnesses, most of which have come about because of our oppression, but which will also develop preventive medical programs to guarantee our future survival. We believe that mass health education and research programs must be developed to give all Black and oppressed people access to advanced scientific and medical information, so we may provide ourselves with proper medical attention and care.
7. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of Black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.
We believe that the racist and fascist government of the United States uses its domestic enforcement agencies to carry out its program of oppression against black people, other people of color and poor people inside the United States. We believe it is our right, therefore, to defend ourselves against such armed forces and that all Black and oppressed people should be armed for self-defense of our homes and communities against these fascist police forces.
8. We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.
We believe that the various conflicts which exist around the world stem directly from the aggressive desire of the United States ruling circle and government to force its domination upon the oppressed people of the world. We believe that if the United States government or its lackeys do not cease these aggressive wars it is the right of the people to defend themselves by any means necessary against their aggressors.
9. We want freedom for all Black and oppressed people now held in U.S. federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.
We believe that the many Black and poor oppressed people now held in United States prisons and jails have not received fair and impartial trials under a racist and fascist judicial system and should be free from incarceration. We believe in the ultimate elimination of all wretched, inhuman penal institutions, because the masses of men and women imprisoned inside the United States or by the United States military are the victims of oppressive conditions which are the real cause of their imprisonment. We believe that when persons are brought to trial they must be guaranteed, by the United States, juries of their peers, attorneys of their choice and freedom from imprisonment while awaiting trial.
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace, and people’s community control of modern technology.
When, during human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind is most disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, then to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpation, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
BLACK PANTHER PARTY COMMUNITY SURVIVAL PROGRAMS

The Black Panther Party developed many early social programs that was based off the immediate needs of the community. These pioneering acts to improve the conditions of the People are often unacknowledged by historians as being the first to inspire nationwide programs to aid various oppressed communities.
