  Dela , you got it all wrong.... African music did not just come of age ... before hip hop there was African music .... but we don't value it .. yea when TIC TAC and co burst on the scene with "dog dirges" we were yea yea .... and then we thought that was music .... well I don't even understand why we should beg the African-Americans for an award ... they themselves cannot get real awards thats why the BET gives them those ... Lets give our own OUR OWN !!!
