35 years ago today, 2Pac released his debut album ‘2Pacalypse Now’ 💿 (1991)
Favorite track on this project?
How has it aged? 💭
Bukele’s action in Haiti will turn people against organizations like the United Nations and for us here in Africa the African Union. These organizations just look like useless enrichment tools for the technocrats.

The Auditor-General of South Africa yesterday reported that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture's irregular expenditure increased from R10 million to R67 million over the past financial year, alongside historical misreporting that required retroactive adjustments. Total unresolved irregular or wasteful funds across portfolio entities have been flagged at roughly R800 million.
How much more time does Minister McKenzie need to set things right in his department? For now, it rather looks as if matters are moving in the wrong direction!

Not people saying Tatjana Smith is using her privilege to and swim for the Netherlands. She was done dirty by administrators of sport in South Africa. Imagine telling a whole Olympic athlete that who worked so hard to get to that level while sitting in your armchair.

I agree with Queen B. Gayton McKenzie needs to resign. I refuse to accept that South Africa can spend R31 million on a World Cup delegation while our own swimmers must find R55,000 to represent the country. If this is his idea of prioritising sport, we've got a serious problem.
Did @AJEnglish ever screen a documentary on the labour abuse in Qatar during the building of the soccer stadiums?

Warren G says his advance was $350,000. His song Regulate reportedly made over $100 million. Before any of that, he says, Suge Knight grabbed him in an elevator for giving his friends one piece of advice: get lawyers.
"Blood, you told them to get lawyers?"
That is what Warren G says he heard. He says he had told Snoop and the other Death Row artists not to sign contracts blind, and that a whistleblower told Suge. He ran, but the elevator was the only way down.
Warren says he never got signed to Death Row. He showed up for the tour with his bags packed and no ticket.
Regulate came out on Def Jam. Reports say the song helped pull the label out of debt.
In the video below, Warren G tells the elevator story himself on Club Shay Shay. What he said to make Suge let go is the part to hear.

I have a few questions for you: Where were you when gangs were raping women along the Martissant road, when children were dying, families were being massacred, and homes were being looted and burned? Where was your outrage when Haitians were going through all this suffering? Now, the moment a glimmer of hope appears for the Haitian people, you suddenly start waving the human rights and humanitarian flags.
Human rights matter, of course. But they must never become a tool for selective outrage. We have suffered enough, cried enough, and buried enough of our people. If President Nayib Bukele is willing to help Haiti fight the gangs, then let him. We don’t need your pity. We need solutions.
Let us breathe. Let us defend our country and reclaim our security. Enough with the double standards, the moral lectures, and the articles written by people who seem completely disconnected from the harsh reality Haitians face every single day.
We are tired of your hypocrisy. Leave Haiti alone and let us fight for our future.
The worry, if President Nayib Bukele’s ambitions in Haiti turn out to be large, is of a scorched-earth strategy that kills a lot of civilians economist.com/the-americas/2…

The ANC definitely admires ZANU-PF, but South Africans have not allowed them that power.
Power only goes as far as the people allow it to go.
The ANC has not become as savage and brutal as ZANU-PF, and that has more to do with the citizens than with the politicians.
If the ANC could get away with what ZANU-PF gets away with, they would have tried it long ago.
What stops them is not goodness or morals. The people stopped them. They definitely want to be untouchable and all-powerful, like Zimbabwean politicians who answer to no one.
The ANC has never used full force on South Africans because they know South Africans will fight back.
It is not that South African politicians are better. It is that South African citizens are braver, louder, and refuse to be owned.
🔸Whatever you say about the ANC:
•They don’t unleash violent riot police on voters for choosing the opposition.
•They don’t imprison opponents.
•They don’t ban free speech and arrest opponents for tweeting.
•They don’t capture the electoral management body and make it do their bidding.
•They don’t ban coverage of opposition parties on State media.
•They don’t ban elections through illicit changes to the Constitution.
•They don’t illegally recall duly elected opposition officials and replace them with their stooges of choice.
•They don’t extend their terms of office without consulting the people.
•They don’t just wake up and declare a king.
Unlike others.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
