US HIP HOP Blogger gets called out in Africa

We love illseed at allhiphop.com! He got the Hip Hop rumor mill on lock and comes off as a pretty level headed cool dude. The other day, however, he was reporting on some Akon shows that were allegedly cancelled in Kenya around Easter and then said "I didn’t even know they celebrated Easter in Africa." ... Yeah I was surprised he made that comment too. Well several people called him out about it and you know what? He posted a couple -- that's wassup! Check out this response:

Your job is to write rumors, fair enough. But don't spread your ignorance and stereotypes to your readers. What did you think Africa was, the jungle?!? You better go read up on books or fly you’re a** to a country in Africa to see what's going on. You African-Americans need to learn more about the first half of your label; where you originated from. Without knowledge of your origins, you're still mentally used, abused and oppressed; even Africa has made more progress in the last 50 years!

Was Illseed called out or what?! and rightfully so, but I give mad props and respect to Illseed for posting this repsonse. After all, being willing to be called out for your ignorance, learning from it, and taking responsibility for it takes balls. I'm givin him some man points for this one as well as the poster who called him out.

Flava reppin the global Hip Hop movement!
