السلام علاییم

In preparation for next year, I propose adding a few names to accompany Akh MUHAMMAD ALI’S name on THE HOLLYWOOD WALL OF FAME

HAKIM ALLAH

RAKIM ALLAH

NASIR

RAHEIM OF GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE

AHMIR, TARIQ AND KAMAL OF THE ROOTS

QAMAL, TARIQ AND ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD OF ATCQ

Sidenote THE LAKERS practice in EL SEGUNDO. Most of us who live in LA say EL Segondo

AKIL AND DHAKIR OF JURASSIC 5

TALIB

YA SIN BEYAH

AHMAD

AND THE RAPPER JALIL

I WILL PROBABLY ADD TO THIS LIST AS I REMEMBER MORE HIP-HOP HEADZ WITH ARABIC NAMES

All ARABIC NAMES HAVE BEAUTIFUL MEANINGS.

For INTERNATIONAL HIP-HOP MONTH (August) your children may enjoy trying to contact the above rappers and asking them what their names translate to.

Muslim children may enjoy writing the Names in عربع

Most use their true name like Rakim Hakim Jalil and Raheim but others use a stagename like Black Thought and QuestLove. (I am still trying to understand what is up with Black folk in Philly. It used to be the USA capitol.

But I Know Because of Slavery the capitol was moved to Washington DC where many of our ancestors were enslaved by the USA government. We built the entire city. From the surveyor Benjamin Banneker to the painting of every building on the mall.

Whereas Philly was a place of refuge for our people indicated by the Liberty Bell.

So do not think hard of Our Muslim Ikhwan who have to disguise their identity to get the Message to you.

Do you know of any Muslim Hip Hop Headz from the South who are safe and secure enough to use their MUSLIM NAME?

Shout out to GMOB

COMMENT BELOW IF YOU THINK OF ANY I MISSED. SHUKRAN!

“WHAT’S MY NAME?!?!?!!!!!!!”

To immortalize someone on THE HOLLYWOOD WALL OF FAME, you have to nominate them, probably pay some type of fee and submit the app.

Let me see if there are any Hip-Hop icons there already BRB

There are some, Pac, Missy, Brother Love and others but none on the WALL OF FAME.

I think Sister Ukhti Latifah has one. Hers will need to be raised because LATIFAH is also a Name of Allah.

Put a Crescent next to her Star and place it beside Akhi Muhammad Ali!!!

And KEEP ON!!!!!
