I’m from Findlay,Ohio. Talib, you leave me in awe and totally inspired. I have loved your music for many many years and WE need YOU and many like YOU, Yasiin AKA MOS DEF, COMMON, CHUCK D AND FLAVOR FLAV, PAPOOSE, Q-TIP, AZ, JOE BUDDEN, JOELL ORTIZ, CROOKED I, ROYCE DA 5’9, EMINEM, JAY-Z, N A S, etc to continue doing what you did. Get as many emcees together as possible, make it like a block party backyard cookout and recite your knowledge and represent MY PEOPLE, YOUR PEOPLE, WE, THE PEOPLE. Cause disturbance as they have to us. On the last day, Jesus will say to those on His right hand, “Come, enter the Kingdom. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was sick and you visited me.” Then Jesus will turn to those on His left hand and say, “Depart from me because I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was sick and you did not visit me.” These will ask Him, “When did we see You hungry, or thirsty or sick and did not come to Your help?” And Jesus will answer them, “Whatever you neglected to do unto one of these least of these, you neglected to do unto Me!”
