Where would you say Barack Obama ranks among important/influential African Americans in history?

None of them have statues in Europe

And?

oh get all the way the fukk outta here.

He's definitely top 10 and I'm not even that big of a fan

Man I seriously think most people on here dont even like hip hop in general. I remember making a thread a while a back talking about how hip hop is arguably one of the greatest things African Americans have created, considering how it formed, by broke kids in the projects, to literally being worldwide, in probably every country in the world.

Within seconds closet cacs and storm front plants came in 1 starrring the thread and arguing against it

I see that not even black people are aware of how many influential musicians they have had...that they think Tupac is among the top 10.

Maybe it's just that most of you are only aware of hip hop.

These whites are coming early out the wood work

 

[Icantspell]

MLK is no 1 in my opinion , tupac is top 5 though

 

[How Sway?]

Only thing pac influenced was rappers rockin bulletproof vests and nikkas wearing bandanas and nose rings don't mention that crab with true influential Black people

 

[How Sway?]

hate to admit it but pac is probably one of the most influential African Americans.
He's had a positive and a negative influence...

African Rebel Soldiers and Their Eerie Obsession With Tupac Shakur

2pacs influence doesnt stop at the borders brehs..
It doesnt stop at just music either..
Im not saying thats not true for SOME of the other cats mentioned in here, but you nigggas really acting like he was just some chump who no one except 70s babies cared about.

nikka said he isnt even top 100

Chief Keef most influential of the 2010s for sure. Hes the voice of our generation.

 

[Primetime21]

So is this thread to discuss Obama's ranking or to ride Pac, im confused

 

[Elle Driver]

I hardly think Tupac is even in the top 100 most important african americans in history.
There are so many politicians, scientists, activists and others (many who are unheralded) who deserve to be mentioned.

Of course he is, his entire family was revolutionists and Black Panthers. Get the fukk outta here with that.

HE wasn't a revolutionist and he wasn't a Black Panther.
He was a rapper and a thug. Period.

Shouldn't you be tucking in your 15 year old daughter and warming up some milk right now?
