Warsai, I use the term Habashi to target specific crew and sxb using the argument being here too long doesn't give them a free pass, This is something I have been observing since I was a kid in southern California, I use to wonder why (Mexicans, Asians, blacks etc) fought us and teachers hated us on daily basis and now I know it was because we refused to assimilate, talking in our languages, hanging out with each other (aswell as others), forming exclusively somali gangs but the habashis (and other africans) no one picked on them because they were very busy emulating AA's, sometimes even acting too ghetto just to be accepted. I swear the first time I saw Eritrean youth speaking their mothers tongue was in Seattle and I was surprised actually.
As for Nipsy Hustle, Im not picking on him because his a gangster rapper, hell most Somalis I knew were in gangs too, I swear I even met a Ogaden kid who was in a south east Asian gang, was an OG (I know ironic
) but he literally was commanding hundreds of them and he had a huge Somali flag tatoo aswell as map of Somalia on his chest. But back to Nipsey, very promising kid, I think he could be the newest best west coast rapper only and if only he smartens up, First and foremost he needs his own style and people outside of California will have hard time identifying with his shid if he doesnt, gangster rap is dying (beat to death actually), so I would advise him to come out with his own style.
but I will be waiting for the day I see a habashi artist bigging up his folks
Voltage, U never heard of the Pdiddy somali connection...some kid (non somali) was even telling me, Pddies mother's father was somali, funny shid and I thought that shid was only in somali circle, and he also was asking me if fabulous, Kobe Bryant etc were somali
as for Micheal Steele, he was raised by white couple from infant stage and I would argue if it was upto me that's his a bonafide MJ, hell look at the characteristics, policies and dabadhalifnimo (pun intended)
I thought she was half Arab/Indian.
