Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

I've heard it suggested in the past by individuals of course, i don't ever remember this being a big discourse on the larger scale. Hiphop culture has never been in danger of being credited to anything but black American culture.

In regards to the whole FBA/Caribbean/African/Latino etc etc **** i'm over all of it. men/women, Straight/gay, lightskin/darksin, hood/suburbs etc etc every year their seems to be a new fracture between black people & while i agree that their is real issues at hand in all these dynamics, 80% of the time these issues are highlighted is to cause further division & resentment towards each other rather then mending it.

I'm not one of those all of us gotta go back to Africa & reunite with our tribe ******, but i'm also aware that we are in no position to be denouncing each other in a land that will don't differentiate their hate on whether someone is Puertorican or Black

At some point enough is enough though. They create this divide. Not all but it's too many that be on that BS. When they're showing pride in being caribbean's and latinos and got their flags and everything we don't trip but when we point out things we've done then it's divisive. Unless they have a accent we don't even know sometimes where people are from until they start bringing it up and talking about the differences black americans and _____. Unfortunately too many of them have the same mindset of WS. They like the music, the slang, the style but the respect ain't there.

Black americans are the most accepting people/culture and it ain't even close but that backfires because we let people in and they get too comfortable. All this **** about suchandsuch is invited to the cookout. Then that person start claiming they made the food.

Big Pooh’s album is a good listen so far

That collab tape he had with Youngboy was a disaster

Rich the Kid?

Its been said for YEARS that jamaicans birthed hiphop.

I heard that before i was ever made aware of who tariq is.

If they birthed it tho, question is, why is it that they have absolutely no presence in it?

People think black culture doesn’t exist bc the whole world got their hands in our ****.

lolwut? There are a bunch of Jamaicans in the hip hop scene.

It’s like, one of the most famous and influential rappers ever (BIG) is a Jamaican dude JRaW’d



Heavy D came on my shuffle recently too.

But aside from that, *****s need to get on code, and cut the diaspora wars bs out . Social media really the devil

Hell, Roc Marc roots is from the careibeab, Lil Kim is Trinidadian. Joey Badass is st lucian/jamaican the list goes on.

 

[wavycrocket]

Huh?

we could not agree with them w/o trying to discredit them, Busta & Fat Joe have had succesful careers spanning 30 years at this point, and were heavily involved in every aspect of hiphop culture before the money was even a thing.

In regards to this whole FBA/Black immigrants **** that's been boiling over, I can't believe they let Tariq start this. **** looking real agentish . whenever you start building this heavy divide & start antagonizing the opposite view, it steers people towards doing the same towards you & nothing really changes much.

I’m convinced Poetikk Flacco is an agent…because it’s gotten ALOT louder since he hit no jumper.

And dude really on some ********. The ADOS/FBA **** really a psyop. If you look deeper into it.

The crime and levels of crime we see today being committed by young kids or even young adults has nothing to do wealth disparity, NOTHING. The real root of the problem today is single parenting (no male figure in the household), lack of discipline, doing reckless behavior for likes and attention on the internet, and a lazy work attitude/ethic. As some young folks say….”why go to work when you can just rob somebody.

These are all issues the government, or the system as some folks like to say around here can’t fix for US. These are issues and factors WE have to address for the betterment of our community. We can’t raise our young girls to become baby mamas, and we can’t raise our young men to keep choosing “criminal” as a career profession. Otherwise we are going to keep seeing images of US like this below as suspect on cameras and new station highlights…..

Lot of respectability politics and pull yourself up by the bootstraps here, but literally all crime and other social ills can be explained by income inequality and education.

And dude really on some bull****. The ADOS/FBA **** really a psyop. If you look deeper into it.

IDK about him specifically but the upsurge in this topic over the past few years has been interesting to watch. I don't want to discount the real examples of animosity between different cultures in the diaspora it 100% exist & is a thing that must be worked on, but it is nowhere to the level that social media is itching to make it. again i've lived amongst Blacks, Jamaicans, Puerto ricans/Dominicans my entire life.

Have i witnessed discrimination & ignorance between the groups 100%, but it isn't to the point where i would say they don't get along & don't **** with each other. I think people from these other countries are extremely proud of their heritage & are bias to their culture, i wouldn't equate that to them being dismissive of ours or not ******* with it at all.

In the long run, this convo shaped in the narrative social media is creating is divisive & unproductive as **** & i'm mad people are falling into it so deeply.

Think one of the funniest things that about the pride of our people from the West Indies and Caribbean (not to say that they shouldn’t have it), is that they aren’t actually from those places either . Have consistently seen certain folks try to denigrate ADOS for not knowing where they’re from and other silly talking points — when they aren’t actually from JA, Haiti, Barbados, etc., either. Just are displaced people of African ancestry like the rest of us who were dropped off in European colonies.

What's fascinating about Flakko and that ADOS/FBA **** is that he's Liberian.

Tariq was sittin in his face taking blatant shots at Africans and he just kept uncomfortably laughing through it

I heard Tariq did another NoJumper interview too

also interesting how that all that ****blends into the red pill/manosphere wave. I see a ton of overlap.

All them ****** are bozos tho.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ahhh they been trying to get dr umar on no jumper lately.


All around ugly

And then he brought Young Pharaoh up there the other day too…..

Sewing the seeds of discord, one abbreviation at a time.

AA, BA, CA, ADOS, FDA…

I only pray some folks see what’s going on by these agents.

 

[trynafeelmink]

While i see how no Jumper could be trying to spin things i based off the little i've watched with the Flacko ***** he seems to have been genuinely invested in those alternative black empowerment spaces. so there really isn't surprise that Umar, Tariq & Pharoah are coming up there. It's a nice change up from their usual guest if nothing else.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Young Pharaoh went out sad for the internet

I remember when he first popped up on YT on his black woman is god...voting is a spirtual curse ****....then years later I see the ***** on a CPAC panel and fighting with his baby moms on YouTube calling her all kinds of black *****es

It be amazing the pivots these ****** be making. Just like Tariq. ***** was really on that first wave of red-pill **** and had ****** following him like sort of pimp guru...then he just smoothly euro stepped into "consciousness" running the same source code underneath.

 

[JRaW’d]

some of you are acting as if the divide is just an internet thing. Its definitely not.

The lookin down on ADOS by blk foreigners is a real thing and has been for years.

These people come from countries where everyone is black, so when they come to America, they dont see it as a unifier the way we do.

And it goes without say that there are exceptions but they’re not the rule.

Nobody gotta make nothin up about black immigrants. Their stance is what it is…

Bootstraps n respectability is what yo does on here with those kinda topics…He’s like the NT 80’s/90’s Cosby minus the Spanish Fly

Bet yo come back in here all sassy too with a whole bunch of “champs” n pull your pants up type talking points

 

[k3stacks]

Deuce def uses "britches" in his lexicon

 

[JRaW’d]

Mach hommy haitian.

I heard him say some lil slick **** talkin bout “im bilingual, yall only speak one language” or somethin to that affect.

Again, nobody gotta make nothin up on them. Its all there…

 

[6pac]

Appreciate this thread. **** like a digital barbershop

You do realize that anyone can learn a language and that it isn't limited to you having to be from said country? If anything that should be a skill that most should aim for. There are plenty of countries in the Caribbean that speak predominantly only one language. Do you think Mach Hommy is dissing all single language speakers in the world? How did you come to this conclusion?
