http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2014/12/bilal-sorrow-tears-and-blood.html So  WHY OH? Bcuz the SHIT is EXPENSIVE after smoking all that INDIAN HEMP & eating all that FUFU  like ya boy did & his name is  Fela Anikulapo Kuti of a place in Afrika named Nigeria. THIS MAN was the CREATOR of AFROBEAT!  Just a lil about the MAN who like Kwame Nkrumah, got his style from listening to some OUR BEST as in James Brown! Kwame learned how to be a REAL REVOLUTIONARY while watching Malcolm X on Harlem street corners back in them days! As the MUSIC could be described as POLYRYTHMS & therfore RICH, no need to continue describing it! Fela supposedly died of a non existent a.i.d.s but as WE do not be LIE ve in that, WE KNOW that he was KILLED somewhat like Bob Marley bcuz his message was 1 of LUV for the PEEPO & REVOLUTION for common everyday FOLK like YOU & ME & so FELA lives on FOREVER! 

Bilal - Sorrow Tears and Blood

(especially listen between 2:40 - 3:25) Mourn for ya OPPRESSORS bcuz they are on a 1 way SMASH COLLISION COURSE with DISASTER! The ST&B = SACRIFICE & makes Me ask "why not take 'em out with GREAT THEME MUSIC?" After all, this song was inspired by the GREAT Fela Kuti but brought to US by the great Bilal! Get into it & see ya in the MOURNING!   (Saint Fela Kuti) 1938 - 1997 the Musical GIANT of Afrikan Music who passed away due to a non-existent a.i.d.s that was made in the u.s.a. He died with over 70 wives & always SPOKE OUT against government BULLSHIT! WE live on in his spirit!
