LOOK NO FURTHER FOR YOU AND I AND THE GENERATION WE RAISE IN THE NAME OF OUR CHILDREN ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

Nonetheless, I also applaud African musicians and entertainers for doing a very good job at what they do best and being on the cutting edge of many musical and artistic trends.

Elvis Presley and Madonna are both examples who managed to "convert" to social consciousness late in their careers.
