Rick Ross - Hold Me Back (Alternative Live Version From Nigeria)

[Marvel]

Are you Ghanian?



This shyt smells like that rivalry bullshyt.

This whole "Nigeria is a joke to the rest of the world" as if you speak for them is just dumb.

Not Ghanian. Nigerian born in the US of A. I'm just keeping it 100. If Nigeria was so great I'm sure you would not name yourself NYC Rebel.

There is a reason why our parents prefer to raise us here because they know the country is full of bullshyt. I love the people, hate the country.

I remember being there in 1996 as a teen the whole summer. It was a lot of tension because Abiolas wife was killed in Lagos by Abacha. Kidnapping was rampant. We went around the country visiting relatives, I didn't go anywhere without uncles with AKs. That is not fun. You don't forget that shyt. Lost an uncle and a cousin to Boko Haram a few months ago. Nigeria is a mess.

As opposed to my Nigerian name and the names of my four children who all bear it.



fukk outta here with username critiquing.

Get over it. My fathers heart gave out after losing his reelection bid in Ife. Two years later, my uncle was pulled over by armed robbers and died of an asthma attack. I saw one of Nigeria legends I grew up with assassinated.

Guess what? I'm no sucker ass niqqa and deal with it rather than run away from my lineage. I grew up around real Nigerian men who didn't teach me to have a spirit of fear you lived with.

For real though, my nukka Ross be going in

I go to Nigeria every few years and I aint no scared nikka...so watch what you say. I fear no man...period. Read what you wrote again and determine who has fear. I will not disrespect the deaths of your father and uncle...RIP to them. People die from despair and fear especially at old age. They are no different to those I lossed and I should view them as even my own fam. shyt talking to people on the net is lame. I lossed a lot of relatives too. So we both are losing. I have relatives that won political seats and one that was a Senate president back in the day. Most politicians are not about helping the people, but fattening their own pockets. My dad calls them out, I do the same. Our lineage is not Nigeria that the British created, its fools gold. The kingdoms of Nri, benin, and Ife were richer. That is the real heritage.

Our generation is in for a rude awakening. People are desperate in Nigeria and it will only get worst because it is not getting better.

That is the tough part because we are considered Nigerians unless a split happens. There has been a push for a sovereign national conference. Many politians and leaders are saying this needs to be discussed. I believe that a north and south split is the only option feasible at this moment. Southerners are more about education, modernization, and get along for the most part. The people in middle belt are in a tough position, but they repped the north and now they suffer over there.

Mark your calendar breh...2015 is going to be a major crisis if a northerner doesn't win the election.

That's why I rarely fukk with Abuja although I have some property up there. It's going to be too unstable in that area of the country.

Lol...same here. One uncle has got property over there. Boko haram started doing some suicide bombing there, now it's not looking as safe as before. My cousins, born and raised in Florida moved there 4 years ago, working for some multinational companies.

I disagree with you about Ross, but I respect your attitude about Nigeria.

 

[gluvnast]

Im from nigeria and this makes me sick. Theres hardly any crime in those areas. Just poor as fukk. He's told them to act like monkeys for the sake of his video. Sickening brehs

DO YOU KNOW WHUT THE SONG IS EVEN ABOUT???? IT'S ABOUT BEING MOTIVATIONAL INSPIRATION JOINT DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO BEEN OPPRESSED AND STILL REFUSE TO LOSE AND FIGHT TOWARD BLACK EXCELLENCE.

CHOOSE NIGERIA AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE IMPOVERISH STILL RISING TO THE TOP BECAUSE IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLION TO HOLD 'EM BACK!

this sh!t is hard.

 

[dakidiscrazy]

fukk this shyt!!!

If he aint cut a check to donate to the communities in need then he's no different than the cacs that go to "the hood" to document the struggles without offering any help.

Capitalizing off of other peoples struggles...smh at these poverty pimps

Ross goes to the slums and projects to uplift people. Ross was in nigeria the other week. He bought out the whole grocery store and fed everybody in the town. Ross has charities for kids all year in the US and other countires. He donates school supplies, clothes, books, etc but these hating ass nikkas don't mention that. Ross gives back more than than alot these uncle tom ass rappers.He gives to the poor in 3rd world countries.

And wale is nigerian and I'm sure he has family there. Last time i checked, wale was ross's artist right? Why would ross insult nigeria like that then?So I assure ross not capitalizing off these people. He sending a message. Nigeria is a another country that was shytted on by greedy ass white people and pumped dry. Ross sending a message that nigeria cant be held back even though they were stolen from,etc. Ross is one of the realest nikkas in hiphop today. PERIOD. This nikka all in 3rd world countries,hoods,slums,etc. Lets stop acting like ross dont give back.
