Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[harlemtothebronx]

I think the point is that Reid is being critical of someone for signing a partnership deal with the NFL, while he’s under contract as an employee.

No one is telling him he should leave the NFL, but you have to be more conscious of the hypocrisy here.

Nip Birthday.
Youngboy came home.
SEX drop tonight...

And *****s still talking bout HOV/NFL/Kap in a circular argument.

Mood right now

 

[Maximus Meridius]

To me, it’s like y’all are saying “Reid should leave the NFL if he doesn’t like it”. That’s my perspective, and if I’m wrong please tell me otherwise.

Yeah, you wrong.

Eric Reid should be in the NFL because he shoulda never been blackballed in the first place but he has no argument in telling somebody else not to deal with the NFL.

Youngboy came home.

Glad Youngboy home,they can keep Kodak tho.

This **** is really the coliseum in how every single day there’s a new topic we sink our time and energy into that keeps us hyper focused on **** that really doesn’t matter.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I swear the amount of *****s taking up for Jay in this NFL deal **** is only matched by the amount ignorant *****s speaking on it.

I'm still waiting on someone to answer what would be a better alternative? what has been accomplished out of this boycott of the the NFL? Has this awareness caused any improvement in the treatment of minorities by police?



This the type **** we're facing and ****** are in an uproar over a NFL boycott #Sendthealiens

 

[Magic33]

I didn't realize it was the anniversary until yesterday

I thought it was weird how the NFL brought Jay out on the anniversary. Who's decision was that?

 

[a blinkin]

Them playing doesn’t mitigate anything they stand for.

Then, in the same vein, Hov doing this deal doesn’t mitigate anything he stands for.

Y’all reaching.

Yo I was looking for the other Daniel Sin from Canada and stumbled on this...

Dude is like 40 dropping Biggie disses in 2015

Imagine the time machine this guys life must be. Dude waking up mad about the 95’ Source Awards in 2019.

 

[finessence]

That’s like Louis Farrakhan dissing Malcolm X. Man been gone since 1965

So if you’re on the outside trying to fix things but ultimately can’t and then the inside says **** it let’s partner up and try and make things right, you’re supposed to say nah, I’ll sit on the outside with less influence and continue to stay in neutral because I’ll be looked at as a sell out?!? That’s how **** never progresses because cats are to worried about how people will look at them now and not the end goal.

no.
we are on the outside, wanting things to be fixed that the ppl on the inside didn't actually break. they intended for it to be "broken" so to speak. its the way it is on purpose.
we (not me, some of you) are wanting jay to partner up with a group of ppl that clearly don't give a **** about black ppl other than to use jay to target us for their financial benefit.
jay looks like a pawn.

*Kanye shrug*

i'm sure there's more to it than whats on the surface but that's the way it looks atm.

Got it, so stay in neutral. We don’t ever need to be on the inside because they’re just using us as a pawn to get our money.

Old saying: Sometimes you have to play the role of a fool to fool the fool who thinks they are fooling you.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

they want dudes to put their livelihoods on the line for people who will try to eliminate your whole existence the second you make a move they don't like.

This right here. This is it.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Yeah features, corny features.

I **** with Wop too but call it what it is.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

*****s can't unify under one cause for anything & i've realized that over the past 5 years, so that's why i don't blame a Jay, or a Kanye, or whoever else for making moves that benefit their immediate circle & agendas first. they want dudes to put their livelihoods on the line for people who will try to eliminate your whole existence the second you make a move they don't like.

Cats need to find like minded circles that move in unison and just focus on their goals. trying to convince everyone and answer for every subset of black people does nothing but knock you off your path.

A lot of these folks got exposed when Kaep got his settlement and even before that the Nike rollout. When it was "cool" to stand with Kaep they jumped on the bandwagon then when he did something that didn't fit their view they killed him. Had _'s talkin bout "I wanna know how much he got". None of your damn business how much he got, that's his pockets.

They have this false idea that in order to be about black empowerment you have to be broke and starving or die.

you don't got it. I didn't say that. I said what I said.

i'd rather die than to have to be allowed to do something or to have to beg my oppressors to eat.

I think (best case scenario) this is what jay is aiming for.
we will see if it works out.
