Video - Shawn Chrystopher "(I'm Not Your) N.I.G.G.E.R."


(I'm Not Your) N.I.G.G.E.R. from IWG TV on Vimeo.

Off of I.W.G., in case you somehow missed that. Got this sent over to me with these words:

I really hope people enjoy this video. It seems Black History Month really doesn’t mean that much to us anymore, and though I won’t be able to change it single-handedly, I would however like to draw some attention to show everyone, especially my fellow artists, where exactly we came from.

I watch Spike Lee’s “Bamboozled” religiously and realize that a lot of the Black musicians today take their notoriety and success as something that is owed to them. I really hope after watching this video, that mindset changes; for the better.
