With the black community in a up-roar over the jury in Ferguson, MO ultimately deciding that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict officer Darren Wilson for the tragic murder of Michael Brown following the death Trayvon Martin and countless others by the hands of law enforcement; ATCQ founding member and community activist Q-Tip took to twitter this past Wednesday to announce that YMCMB front-man Lil Wayne is the latest addition to Afrika Bambaataa‘s Zulu Nation collective.
According to Wikipedia:
The Universal Zulu Nation is an international hip hop awareness group formed and headed by hip hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.[1]:101 Originally known simply as the Organization, it arose in the 1970s as reformed New York City gang members began to organize cultural events for youths, combining local dance and music movements into what would become known as the various elements of hip hop culture. By the 1980s, hip hop had spread globally, and the Zulu Nation has since established (autonomous) branches in Japan, France, the UK, Australia, Canada, South Korea and the Cape Flats in Cape Town South Africa.
The telling tweet was initially bombarded with mixed reviews but after the logic behind the decision was explained by both Tip and Grammy Award Winning producer 9th Wonder, the bigger picture soon became clear.
