He puts Fela's beats into the songs on the album. I'm not a Jay-z fan, but some of the songs are hot!<BR/>ABAMI lives on!ishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377307620987180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-31719333625095786582007-11-04T00:05:00.000+00:002007-11-04T00:05:00.000+00:00Great post and great blog, Aramide.

My failure to appreciate his music had nothing to do with the messages it contained, it was simply based on his style of music. Had the same message been delivered in a way that I could find enjoyable, then maybe I would have been a fan. But that is of no importance, it wasn’t aimed at dance floors. What is important is that this man fought and in many ways died fighting the corner of the poor and exploited in our society, and for that reason, Fela the man will always be an idol in my mind. <BR/>Once again, an excellent post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-1160443436842892172006-10-10T01:23:00.000+00:002006-10-10T01:23:00.000+00:00Nice One, well done!
