With words of empowerment and a knack for finding peaceful resolutions to beefs among rappers, Minister Louis Farrakhan has become an inspirational force within the Hip-Hop community.
So much so that Houston rhymesayer Paul Wall is voicing his appreciation for the revered leader.
"From start to finish, the journey of Minister Farrakhan has been unbelievable. It's amazing to see him, after all of these years, still fighting strong. He has inspired me," said Wall. "Everyone in Hip-Hop should show love to the Minister because back when many people talked down on our genre, he was one of the few leaders that took the time to understand us. He helped us grow, took a stand for us and now it's only right we show gratitude."
Wall joins a host of emcees who have supported Farrakhan over the years. The Nation of Islam leader is currently preparing to deliver his Saviour's Day 2007 public address, "One Nation Under God," Sunday (Feb. 25) at Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
The event is being supported by co-chairs Russell Simmons, Jermaine Dupri, Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick and Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick as well as fellow chairs, Sean
