I am surprised to see a number of so-called Pan-Africans repping the holiday with gusto. When I confront these men and women and hold them accountable for what it means to be a Pan-African there is tension. If you seek to honestly call yourself a Pan-African, you must be honest in your actions and intentions (and not be afraid to call out those who are not). I can always tell who is and isn’t truly a Pan-African by the following:

1. You Have No Interest in a United States of Africa

You are not a Pan-African if you don’t understand the fact that a United States of Africa is the principal objective of Pan-African thought. With the establishment of a unified continent, Africans both at home and abroad will be able to effectively play a role on the world stage. We can build, rise, do business, inherit and pass on legacies, and raise our progeny within the security of our own borders and our own original culture. This website, and the organization that I represent – United Black America – is only a stepping stone to a United States of Africa.

2. You Would Rather Remain in Western Countries

Ignorant Niggas in Paris

America, and most other Western Nations, were built by the sweat and blood of the 300 million Black men and women who were brought to them as slaves. These systems continue to run on the exploitation of the Black man and woman. You might think that you have a part to play in these Western societies, but ultimately, these are white societies, governed by white interests .Yes, even with a Black president. You have been duped into believing that your role in white countries is participatory – its not. Black men and women are pawns. If you would rather remain in America, Britain, Sweden, Canada, The Netherlands, then do so. Just don’t try to call yourself a Pan-African.

3. You Give Other Races Preference Over Your Own

Although Pan-Africanism is an economic and political philosophy, understand that nations and economies are owned and operated by people. If you would rather work with whites, if you would rather do business with whites, if you would rather date white women, if you greet whites more readily than you greet your own blood family, then how can you claim a Pan-African mindset?

4. You Dont Seek To Know African History

Our people suffer from a lack of knowledge, and you cannot effectively address that problem if you have no knowledge of your own to address it with. In order to be a Pan-Africanist one must study. Let me say that again, In order to be a Pan-Africanist one must study! Study source documents. Dont read what I write about Kwame Nkrumah, READ WHAT HE WROTE HIMSELF! Thats a source document! Dont read what I write about Malcolm X, READ HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY! Learn to read the medu neter! Study the words and the ways of Kwame Ture. Study the histories of Axum, Timbuctoo, Alexandria, Ghana, Songhai, Zulu, Mali, and Zanzibar. Studying the massive accomplishments of your people will automatically build within you pride and self-esteem, and combat white ignorance when they or their societies tell you that you havent built anything.

Have you read Consciencism by Kwame Nkrumah?
Have you read Africa: A Biography of the Continent?
How about the Metu Neter, Sundiata: Lion King of Mali, or Facing Mount Kenya?

Most of these books cost less than the door fee at a night club, and yet the knowledge that they impart can build and destroy civilizations.

I have a list of 100 greatest African History books and DVDs on this site, and yet ONLY 5 out of 12,000 OF YOU BUY ONE OF THOSE BOOKS PER MONTH!

To call yourself a Pan-Africanist and not know African history is both a disgrace and a falsehood. Your life must be spent studying African history, because even if you lived to be 200, you still wont know all there is to know about African history.

The more you know about your history, the better prepared in the present to influence your future. (Tweet that!)

5. You Adopt Western Ways of Life

You would rather be a Christian than return to your original spiritual systems. You would rather appreciate French art than Nok sculpture. You are afraid of dreadlocks since the men in your office might give you crazy looks. You would rather strengthen your ties to Western nations than strengthen your ties to Africa.

When Neo left the Matrix, he couldnt go back in to get some stuff he left behind. He understood that the world he left was phony and detrimental to his perception of reality, and therefore, he was happy to leave that way of life behind in favor of the truth.

6. You Are Politically Impotent

Even if your right to participate in direct democracy has been taken away due to a felony, as a Pan-African, you must remain politically influential. This could mean registering other voters, participating in political rallies, or educating others in Pan-African and political thought.

Politics has always been, and will always be, a part of human culture. By refusing to participate because you have a felony, or you think the game is rigged, you are rendering yourself politically impotent. And thats exactly what those in power want – for you to sit down in defeat.

Imagine, discuss, and research different political ways of doing things, and from your discoveries, discover ways to become increasingly more political.

7. You See Yourself as Separate From Africa

This one kills me. Some Black folk think they are separate from Africa.

Even after 400 years of separation, Africa has left her mark on your skin. You cant confuse your skin color with that of any other race. And the ONLY place where our skin color is indigenous is AFRICA. You are not an African-American, you are an African living in America. If the political entity of America dissolved today, you would still be African.

You are not separate from Africa, nor is Africa separate from you. If Africa continues to be destroyed and exploited, so too will African people across the world.

If you continue to inflict suffering on yourself or your people, you ultimately inflict suffering upon Africa herself. Meditate on that.

You cannot be a Pan-African if you still see yourself and your destiny as being separate from Africa.

8. You Live According to White Values

An African-American demonstrating his dedication to Western Consumerism

Individualism, ownership, conflict and control, manipulation, and consumerism are all hallmarks of the white values system that we presently live in. These values have been directly responsible for the destruction of our culture, and have brought the world to the brink of ecological destruction. Read more about white values versus original values hereand here.

If you would call yourself a Pan-African, you must abandon these negative cultural practices and return to the original values that made Africa a success prior to European intervention.

9. You Destroy Your Own

Again, you are not separate from Africa, nor are you separate from other African peoples. If you actively or passively inflict harm on your people through exploitation, violence, or manipulation, you should be shot in the head for crimes against a people that have already been subjected to more misery than anyone else in the history of the human race.

When I am determining who to lend my ear and my hand and my heart to, I first ask this question – is this man or woman helping or hurting our people with their actions. There is an organization in my city that claims to be a Pan-African organization, and yet, its members call themselves slaves, the founder owns a liquor store, calls himself Mr Silk, and has attempted to cut deals with major fast food restaurants in order to receive funding. This man also started a church just to spread his destructive practices. Such is an example of so-called Pan-Africanists that are actually doing more harm than good. 

10. Your Only Ambitions Are Money, Power, Sex, or Fame

There is nothing wrong with the desire for money, and the nice things that having money brings. However, if you so thoroughly choose to integrate into Western Capitalist mindsets, then understand that you are playing right into your own self-hatred. Malcolm X said that “The tragedy of the american capitalist system is that it will teach a people to hate themselves for no other reason than to continue their exploitation.”

If you are to call yourself a Pan-African, your motivation must be more enlightened than the pursuit of money, power, sex, or fame. You must tame the insatiable greed for material wealth, and instead increase the wealth of your character, integrity, spirit of service, and work ethic.

If you claim Black Power as an extension of your ego, then you may build an immense amount of personal power, but will you use that power for the salvation of the Black People? If not, then you dont deserve to wield the sword of power.

If you frequent natural hair conventions and poetry sets just to get some ass, or if you become a Hebrew Israelite just to have permission to have multiple wives, aka sex-partners, then you are in this Pan-African thing for the wrong reasons. We dont need any more loose cocks or coochies producing ignorant children and spreading disease irresponsibly. In fucking your way into oblivion, you are destroying your own people.

If any of the above describes you, be honest. Confront the darkest aspects of your dishonesty. You will find that by shedding light on your dishonesty, it is naturally diminished. You will grow in responsibility and integrity. And if you are in my company, I will demand nothing less from you.

MTV News is reporting that not only did Rick Ross get into it with Jeezy, but other members of Maybach Music Group tussled with members of 50 Cent's G-Unit.

Multiple sources who witnessed the fray confirmed to MTV News that Ross' protégé Gunplay was also involved in fisticuffs with members of 50 Cent's G-Unit camp.

Gunplay was seen with visible wounds and a witness told us that the Miami MC was put into handcuffs and detained, but a separate source close to Gunplay told us that he was not arrested.

It seems that our homeboy MachineGun Kelly was also caught up in the middle of the ruckus, although we believe he wasn't involed in any fighting.  He did tweet out:

We hope that everyone is ok, and that the beef ends as quickly as it started.

Also, DJ Drama jumped on the radio right after the awards to tell his first hand report of what he saw of the drama between Ricky Rozay and Snowman.  He caught the whole thing:

Just when we thought these two we're getting along. 

Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex tweeted that Rick Ross and Young Jeezy allegedly got into a shoving match backstage at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta. 

NEW VIDEO: Rick Ross "Amsterdam" 

Rick Ross and Young Jeezy haven't had a good relationship in the past, but over the recent years have buried their beef. 

According to Funkmaster Flex, things came to a head when the rapper's camps crossed paths backstage. 

The fight moved from backstage to the parking lot, where gunshots were fired, prompting BET to shut down the awards ceremony momentarily. 

Funkmaster Flex tweeted:

RapRadar's Elliott Wilson began retweeting industry insider JasFly, who also confirmed Funkmaster Flex's initial tweets:

No further details are confirmed, but we do know that whoever was shooting in the parking lot has been arrested and detained. 

The BET Hip-Hop Awards have reopened the venue, but security is on high alert. 

This story is developing...

We had kind of thought (and hoped) that Christina Aguilera had grown out of that whole Dirty phase.

But it seems we couldn’t have been more wrong.

The singer debuted her video for Your Body earlier today and we have to say we’re still a little taken aback.

It’s sassy, tacky, dirty and well just a tad embarrassing from the mother-of-one.

There’s a particular scene, which involves Xtina going into a toilet cubicle with a man, only to come out with blue paint splattered on her face, which she wipes off suggestively. Yup.

Anyway, we’re not really sure what else we can say you’ll just have to watch Christina and those curves of hers for yourself. Let us know what you think, will ya?

Ikiwa ni miezi kadhaa imepita tangu kifo chake, aliyekuwa muigizaji wa mahiri "Bongo Movies" Steven Charles Kanumba (The Great). Tayari kuna filamu ambayo alicheza siku chache kabla ya kifo chake ambayo inakwenda kwa jina la "NDOA YANGU" sasa imeingia madukani ikiwa inasambazwa na steps. Kulingana na uhalisia hii ndio filamu ya mwisho kuchezwa na Kanumba kwa kuwa sasa hatunaye tena duniani.

MUNGU AILAZE PEMA ROHO YA MAREHEMU

 

Rihanna may be the best creative hit maker in pop music. The 24-year-old singer has already released six studio albums (Gaga has two), and rumors are swirling that another album is coming in the not-so-distant future. A now-deleted tweet from Def Jam France seems to suggest the “Where Have You Been” chanteuse’s seventh album will be released in November. A new single was also apparently teased – and that could drop as soon as Monday.Huff Post Entertainment has touched out to our friends at Def Jam here in the States, and we’ll update this post if more information becomes available.The following tweet, teased a big announcement on Thursday has also been removed:Rihanna’s last album, Talk That Talk, peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 200, spawned six singles and received generally positive reviews. Like the two albums that preceded it, Talk That Talk was released in November, so it wouldn’t exactly be a shock if Rihhana has another winter release up her sleeve.

In other RiRi news, the singer recently performed with A$AP Rocky at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she cleaned off her shoulders after winning Video of the Year for “We Found Love.” She also appeared on an emotional Oprah special in which she admitted she still cared extremely for Chris Brown.

Here is another Hit Song newly released,

Nyomi hili liliambiwa litasailiwa siku inayofuata, baada ya majaji kuzidiwa

Wow. We knew we were going to get a big crowd for our two day audition in Dar lakini hatukujua ingekuwa hivi, asante kwa wote mnaotuunga mkono, you all made this possible. Washiriki waliojiotokeza ni wengi kuliko matarajio yetu.

Wakati Audition zinafikia tamati, vipindi navyo vimeanza kuruka hewani kila siku kuanzia saa nne kamili usiku ndani ya TBC1, catch all the drama, all the laughs, all the lessons.

MSANII ndani ya tasnia ya filamu na muziki, Zena Muhamed ‘Shilole’, ameuambia mtandao wa DarTalk kuwa awali alipoigia kwenye tasnia ya filamu alikuwa anatafuta skendo lakini hata hivyo hakuwahi kujiweka nusu uchi ili ajulikane kwani siku ambayo atafanya hivyo ananaamini hata familia yake na hata mashabiki wanaomkubali watamuona mtu wa ajabu sana.

Msanii huyo alidai kuwa alikuwa na skendo nyingi lakini hakuwahi kuwaonesha watanzania mwili wake kama baadhi ya wasanii wanavyofanya, kwani kitendo hicho endapo angeamua kukifanya basi wazazi wake wangemchukulia kama limbukemi wa maisha ya mjini.

Kauli ya msanii huyo inakuja ili kujisafisha kwani wadau wengi wa tasnia ya filamu kwa sasa hawana hamu nayo, kutokana na vitendo vingi vinavyofanywa na wasanii wake, ambapo vingine vimekuwa vikiwahawaribu hata watoto wadogo ambao hupenda sana kutazama kazi zao.

“Awali wakati naanza filamu nilitamani sana na mimi niwe staa na nikawa natumia njia kibao lakini hakuna hata moja ambayo unaweza kusema imenichafua au kuniacha nikiwa mtupu na watu wakawa wananiona mwili wangu hakuna, lakini nashindwa kuelewa nikwanini mastaa wazima wanatumia miili yao kuongeza umaarufu wakati wanajitia doa tu,” alisema.

Hata hivyo msanii huyo aliongeza kuwa anaamini pia kwa kaisi kikubwa muziki nao umempa umaarufu sana, kwani amejizolea mashabiki wengi ndani na nje ya nchi, hasa wale wanaopenda aina ya muziki anaofanya.
