Xabad I was about to support you, but the alternative turned out to be funner

I agree. but the man is not a fan. lets leave it at that. Perhaps his name "xabad" is an indication of the post-traumatic stress disorder he faces. PTSD has made him vulnerable and receptive to Glenn Beck and fox news, causing him to associate "black music" with gun/"xabad" culture. This brings us back to his PTSD. hence his distaste for black music.

Hiphop has become synonymous with "black music". it is simpe as that. enough with the straw man attacks.

Alpha can you now wire me the $200 through dahabshil as promised

Ama habar kurkii iyo wadnaha, lagaga kaw siiyay Why has I.M. Lewis and other "scholars" translate this line ^^ as. I don't read it as so "Or like an old woman whose only son was killed"

Thanks again Coofle for the excellent commentary. Yes, I recall reading how expressing love was taboo during such time. It takes a special man to go against social taboos. What exactly is "Kololo", it any kind of sound? Also when he says "webi karaar dhaafay" , is it the rivers are overflowed, or the river missed out on its chanced of being full

Let us not spread rumor about the deceased abayo.

Goodbye. Short of four days, the de facto king of SOL has left us. Driven out by a smear campaign led by a former member of his gang, the famous online personality has been put to rest. His "Alpha's Troll and Cantarbaqash Corner LOL" thread, which was expected to take over as the predominant troll thread and deem "Troll, Shaah, Cakes and Sheeko" obsolete, has now become a barren wasteland filled with inquiries about his sudden departure. Rumors have it he started anew on one of the popular Somali forums. He has been called crazy, dhaqan celis, a criminal, and many other things, but we must put such claims rest to, as it is not just to talk ill of the deceased. Let us take time to mourn and remember Alpha Blondy, the man who has brought great personality to this site. Lets honor this character with our memories, eulogies, and stories. Islamically we are permitted 3 days to mourn so remember we must eventually carry on. *Right now it is a time to mourn, not seek justice. The courts will handle the sijui, leader of Alpha's exile, in due diligence. R.I.P.

societal decay

I was expecting to read on Siyaad's life, his youth, his career development and his life as President but was dismayed to find the book was practically a brief history of Somalia during his reign, not his biography. And oh yeah, it's heavily biased. Thanks for the input haatu and for saving me 25 bucks

Chimera are you familiar with Indiana's Somali digital library?

I noticed a pattern of your late night posts
