Akala (look him up, solid ass British rapper and black empowerment dude). He said something to the effect that in 50 years, Oxford university literature professors will be discussing Nas the same way they discuss Chaucer, Yeats, etc.' I don't have the quote exactly but you get the gist.
I've added on to this saying just how truly black genius is. If you look at Nas specifically, He wrote Illmatic while he was finishing HS. At the time, he had never been out of NYC barely out of Queens. Obviously no college, anything. Many of the early rappers were in their teens when they wrote their biggest hits. The sheer intellect it takes to write some of this word play, for the music to be made often by other teenagers. Name me any other race that comes up with that type of genius with not just no formal schooling, but out of some of the worse sub standard educational facilities, no travel anywhere, poor backgrounds, the projects but they spoke on things far above their own personal experience as if they had done it.
Rock stars the greatest rock music was written by people who were far more educated, far better life, and were never younger than their early 20s at best . At best. The poetry in our music, considering who writes it at what age, circumstances is on a level with, and often above any of the great poets they study at Harvard, Oxford and Stanford. ANY.
As an side, look at Jazz and the Blues, music and verses by a people that usually didn't finish school, often semi illiterate, had to teach themselves how to use the instruments. And wrote such complicated music so far ahead of its time it defies the imagination when looked at it in its proper context.
When I hear white supremacists talk about the IQ level of blacks its laughable. Its completely laughable. I don't get upset, I don't even trip. They have never, ever produced such artistry given the same set of circumstances. The one that did was black (Beethoven).
I was talking IQ with a white boy once and I said "Would you say that Mozart and Beethoven" no doubt had IQs that was high level genius range? The answer was always yes. Then I hit them with the hip hop info and they find it hard to deflect or counter. They can't and if people are around when you do it , they look stupid AF.
Even their own famous music, Rock, came from us. The other form of music I have heard globally is reggae. Again made by similarly poor black people and even latino music via Reggaeton emulates it.
The question isn't if blacks IQ are the same as whites, its how the FUCK is whites so much lower and we ain't rise above them yet.
