Afrika BambaataaAfrika Bambaataa If they think that there’s a lot of racism going on then there’s another Hip Hop artist who’s gonna come out and speak their mind.

Afrika BambaataaAfrika Bambaataa How you act, walk, look and talk is all part of Hip Hop culture. And the music is colorless. Hip Hop music is made from Black, brown, yellow, red and white.
