The Rapper, Nas, Discovered Whites Owned His Family



 After making his video of The Great Migration, starting with his father leaving Mississippi (which TMR has posted before) it's a good thing he found the bill of sale for a great grandparent:


   “First I was enraged when I looked at it. I was like, that guy that owned property owes me some cash. My people made him really wealthy, so maybe I should find his family and talk.

I thought I would never know anything about my family past my grandparents, and I was willing to just accept that because I had no way of finding out.

So when I saw the bill of sale, I had to stop and deal with that for a moment. This is a sale of a human being. This was business here in this country.”

The Crack Emcee
The Crack Emcee was born in Los Angeles. His mother had a thing with Jazz legend Charlie Mingus (producing a sister). Crack served in the Navy before settling into the Punk scenes of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He went on to join the Beatnigs (1988) Consolidated (1992) Broun Fellinis (1995) and then started his own band, Little White Radio (1998). The Crack Emcee has also been releasing a series of critically acclaimed solo mix tapes - starting with 1995's Newt Hates Me - that have solidified his reputation. This output morphed into his solo album, the anti-war Rap's Creation (2002) which was nominated for Album Of The Year (in, both, Rolling Stone and the Village Voice) and that year's list of Hip Hop's Best Anti-War Songs. Crack is listed (twice) as `an artist dedicated to integrity in Donnell Alexander's memoir, Ghetto Celebrity, and is featured on the CD, Just Payin' The Rent: The Amoeba Music Compilation, Vol. II.
