Something Different.......2005-02-22

One of the most important CD's that can be used to bridge the gaps between Black American and Africans influenced by Hip Hop culture, this compilation should be an eye opener for those w/ in the Western Hemisphere who were indoctrinated by mass media's negative images of tree climbing Africans who chase tigers w/ panga knives and spears (I do not find these stereotypes funny, at all!).

The artist's represented from Senegal, much like many EMCEES from Africa and outside of North America, who are not affected by executive dictators ($$$$), posses the same humble attitude as the United States "underground" scene, much in the case as Hip Hop Artists from the Golden Era.
