00:00What's going on, y'all?
00:00This is Vic Mensah, and this is No Context Needed with Ebony.
00:04Why the black millennial vote is not guaranteed?
00:07Hmm.
00:07Cuz, y'all don't be doing for this vote.
00:10They just campaign, but they don't provide policy.
00:13Vic Mensah's connection to Ghana goes deeper than his bloodline.
00:17Yeah, it's in my skin, man.
00:19I just love Ghana.
00:20You know, Ghana is like my, it's my safe haven.
00:23It's my peaceful place.
00:24What hip-hop teaches us about fatherhood?
00:27You know, I was just thinking about that Nas lyric where it says,
00:30uh, thinking a word that's describing my life to name my daughter,
00:33my strength, my son to start with me, my resurrection.
00:36Hip-hop shows us a lot of great examples of fatherhood.
00:40I am a black man and I can do anything.
00:43Yeah.
00:44I can do anything.
00:46Facts though, I definitely can.
00:48I need to keep this one in mind.
00:49This is just like where this is my name tag.
00:54Keep Martin Luther King Jr.'s name out of your mouth.
00:56Okay.
00:57All right.
00:59I got you.
01:00Won't say it again.
01:01Fathers do not babysit.
01:04Is this a command to the fathers?
01:06I see maybe my girl was telling me something that like women online being like,
01:11the dads don't really be doing.
01:13They just be babysitting.
01:14I'll take care of my son, but I don't be babysitting.
01:16I got a babysitter.
01:17Shout out to Kamiya.
01:18America must first be born again before it can ever be great.
01:22Hello.
01:23God damn it.
01:24The difference between rap and hip hop.
01:27Hip hop is a larger culture.
01:29I mean, it's got the traditional elements of hip hop, but I also would say like hip hop
01:33is a fashion.
01:35Hip hop is generally just a lens, a way of looking at the world.
01:40Anything can be hip hop, but rap is a specific, you know, art form.
01:44Why men shouldn't get extra credit for taking care of their kids.
01:49Okay.
01:49Somebody really had this on their mind today.
01:52What's up with this?
01:54It's nothing to do with me, sir.
01:56One thing I will say that I have learned in this couple of years of being a father is
02:02the tremendous amount of work that goes into being a mother.
02:06It's an almost unfathomable, unquantifiable amount of work.
02:11Shout out to all the ladies out there.
02:13You know what I mean?
02:13Brothers, stop trying to get extra credit for raising your kids, man.
02:17Do what you supposed to do, man.
02:19The fabric of freedom.
02:21How black style has always been a political statement.
02:24Black style is a political statement.
02:25Black hair is a political statement.
02:27Because as soon as something becomes synonymous with black culture, then it becomes illegal.
02:33You know?
02:33Black style is always a political statement because it's always under attack.
