My Pops made me read his autobiography when I was like 14. That dude was the truth.
Then he made me read Malcolm X's autobiography and another book called Belly of the Beast written by an inmate I believe in Riker's....read it a long time ago. But Campos def was a real leader. We need more people like that. Most young Puerto Ricans (or any race for that matter) won't even know who he is....ask a 15 year old who's some of the most influential Puerto Rocks ever and I guarantee they mention Daddy Yankee...lol

bthis!
The hospitality and friendly treatment that the Spaniards received from Agüeybaná made it easy for them to conquer the island.

See what you get for letting the spanish into your house?

For real though this is some interesting stuff.I didnt know this stuff about Puerto Rico.
I just knew they were like the most influential latino group of people in hiphop and never thought any deeper about it.
Thanks for the lessons.

That's whasup. Everybody should do the knowledge on not only their own culture...but other cultures as well. It would help in understanding eachother differences...as well as realizing our similarities. You'd probably find that all of our cultures are alot more alike than you might think. And bringing this back to Bastard's original post...pretty soon everybody's gonna be mixed. And there's nothing wrong w/ that. But that doesn't mean that we ignore the past....that means we got more homework to do. Just like Bastard who only knew about his Italian heritage. Now he should find out about his Puerto Rican heritage. That makes a well rounded person. I'm marrying an Italian girl next month so my kids will be mixed. And I think that's a beautiful thing. My kids will be born American first...but best believe they are going to know and appreciate their racial backgrounds...both of them.
