Recalling Mr. Franklinnew
I have often wondered why God has blessed me to see other parts of the world, why I’ve been able to perform in front of tens of thousands of dedicated hip-hop fans in Prague or Accra only to return to mountains of bills and personal problems.

Hogan Doesn't Know Bestnew
Hulk Hogan and his family are the celebrities who think they're better than us, who think they are above the law and consequences facing normal people. We fans saw your true arrogance through conversations that you knew would be taped. You're only now getting what you deserve.

I'm No Elitistnew
Leaders who instill hope and progress into the minds of the people are ridiculed and/or eliminated, while opportunists make promises they forget. Therefore, the people on the bottom become angry, apathetic and bitter, and they cling to nothing that takes them nowhere.
