Bro, U know I got to always see both sides when U & I---Rap a taste- so let me end it like this.


I think what The Nation did to Ali was horrible. When he was making money, talking bad about Frazier (his own black brother) they didn't tell him to shut up.

Then when he needs money-cant get a fight- they were out of sight out of mind. Hypocritical. Jim Brown said Ali was the greatest at bed hopping. As a muslim he was tagging all kinds of azz. & the Nation didn't have a clue?

True enough they used him- and the name Ali given to him- made him known to muslims worldwide, but at what costs? Hypocrisy? If I were Ali, I would have left the nation on that alone, not over Malcom
