For Bizi - who was probably a baby when this song came out:

The Cult of Personality, by Living Color, a black metal group

Re: the whateva happen to thread

I've often wondered what happened to Black Sheep.

Ole man Nelly still around, I think but like dancehall, some a dem guys just cannot withstand the constant onslaught of newcomers. mi like Nelly and hope him have much leff fi offer.

there's another guy from the 70s-80s i always wondered about, a contemporary of joan armatrading's. Figgat him name but him sing, &quot;What's the Word, it's johannesburg&quot; or somthing like that. a brownskin American singer, very conscious.

Gil Scott Heron..cause the revolution will not be televised..
yeah man whappen to him? I think I see is name around performing very infrequently

What's the word?
Tell me brother, have you heard
from Johannesburg?
What's the word?
Sister/woman have you heard
from Johannesburg?
They tell me that our brothers over there
are defyin' the Man
We don't know for sure because the news we
get is unreliable, man
Well I hate it when the blood starts flowin'
but I'm glad to see resistance growin'
Somebody tell me what's the word?
Tell me brother, have you heard
from Johannesburg?
They tell me that our brothers over there
refuse to work in the mines,
They may not get the news but they need to know
we're on their side.
Now sometimes distance brings
misunderstanding,
but deep in my heart I'm demanding;
Somebody tell me what's the word?
Sister/woman have you heard
'bout Johannesburg?
I know that their strugglin' over there
ain't gonna free me,
but we all need to be strugglin'
if we're gonna be free
Don't you wanna be free?
