"Used to get beat up by a nigga"? Isn't that just as racist? Whatever, I'm sick of arguing over that shit.

 

Why is it cool these days to start beefs? When did that become like a positive thing? Why don't these guys go inside an octagon and GET IT ON! to settle it like real men? Also, why is it better for a guy to be a no-good thug on the streets before he sells an album? Then he has to lie about it if that didn't happen? Jesus, mainstream rap IS horrible these days.

 

I'm waiting for the day that Thom Yorke calls out Chris Martin or whatever that Coldplay guy's name is. That would be a battle for the ages.

"Used to get beat up by a nigga"?

What the fuck is that saying, anyway? That black people are all niggas?

snuffbox should quit trying to be funny. He's just terrible.

 

So should Rant.

"Used to get beat up by a nigga"?

What the fuck is that saying, anyway? That black people are all niggas?

 

I really hate breaking this down to white people, because most still don't understand. But Phonte from Little Brother, breaks it down the best...

 

As most of you have noticed, I've taken the liberty of adding the -er back to the end of one of Black people's most beloved words: nigga.

 

Now generally speaking, the rule goes that 'nigga' is a term of endearment while 'nigger' is a racial slur used to describe the ignorant, shuffling, happily uninformed monkeys that roam the streets everyday under the guise of Black people.

 

To be fair, I'll admit that all niggas have nigger tendencies. Every Black person has at one time or another exhibited nigger behavior either because A, it just felt good (talkin' loud as fuck during a movie), or B, the situation called for it (cussin out your child's racist math teacher at a PTA meeting).

 

There's nothing wrong with bringing out your inner nigger every once in a while, but when that shit permeates your life on a consistant basis, and you find yourself consciously doing and/or saying ignorant shit more than half the time? My nigga, you's a nigger. And its time for us as Black people to cut the bullshit and call niggers out when we see 'em. We're the only ones who can save ourselves, and that starts by policing ourselves and not condoning ignorance. That whole bandwagon, 'supportin a nigga just cause he black' shit has got to stop.

 

I know many apologist niggers would say that my line of thinking is just another way of separating Black people, and that I'm simply a pawn in the white man's game of divide and conquer.

 

Miss me with that bullshit. Seriously.

 

Call me whatever you want, but I don't consider every person of color to automatically be my 'brother' or 'sister' just because we got the same skin tone and nose shape. I deal with people PERIOD. And if you're not a person that's trying to better yourself and be a positive force in this world then I ain't fuckin with you. White, black, or whoever.....

 

I love my Black people to death. I swear I do. But niggers done let me down yo......even moreso than white folks have. I say that because white and Black race relations in this country have always been volatile at worst, and uneasy at best. I mean, we were brought to this country in CHAINS, for God's sake. So like most niggas, I EXPECT white folks to rob me, steal from me, plot my downfall, and just try to fuck me over in general, cause its the American way. Call me crazy for expecting better treatment from my OWN people.......

 

Its time for us to be Black folks and cut this nigger shit out. I'mma always love my niggas, but niggers? Fuck 'em yo. What's the difference you might ask?

 

Nigga- sells dope

Nigger- PROUDLY sells dope

 

Nigga- goes to jail

Nigger- goes BACK to jail

 

Nigga- distrusts the white man

Nigger- BLAMES the white man

 

Nigga- listens to coke rap

Nigger- DEFENDS coke rap

 

Nigga- loves self

Nigger- equates self-love to being 'bougie' and self-hate to being 'hood'

 

I could go on forever but I think y'all get the point.

 

What got me thinking about all this was watching "Block Party" last night and listening to that part where Wyclef was talking to the kids in the marching band. The one thing that stood out to me was when he told them niggas, "Fuck that, get yours." I respect 'Clef for that. Dude came to the country and barely spoke English. Fuck that, get yours. Didn't blame the white man, didn't make excuses, he just honed his talent and made something of himself. Fuck that, get yours.

 

Niggers could learn alot from that.

 

Let's all do better, y'all.

Slanging?

 

You people need to stop making up different definitions to words.

 

N*gga plz. I heard that term back when I was a shorty rocking Hugo Boss.

 

N*gga = offering sensitivity to other cultures.

 

plz = showing that I am down with contemporary urban linguistics.

 

Or is the term now known as "plizzle"?

He didn't use -er at the end. He quoted you exactly. Don't twist it around as an excuse for you to break out an essay on the plight of the black man and look smart. Believe me, most people know the difference between nigga and nigger.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Reading through this thread, I don't see how Rant can spin that into hip hop fans. It's pretty clear he was referring to black people with "you people".

 

Don't really care that much though.

If help defines the word Nigga also.

That's only because it's mostly black people who post in these threads. I say "You People" inregards to any group. Metal heads, emo bitches, etc. If it were a bunch of emo kids that happened to be Asian would that be a slight against Asians?

Well, you people, and by you people, I mean people who have nothing to add to this thread pertaining to the subject should go back to where they came from....which is the threads about random bands I'll never care about

I'm starting to see this thread going into classics.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Nah, it's lustre is already gone.

[bob_barron 0]

Yea, Rant being racist is nothing new.

 

Neither is EHME being stupid.

 

Nothing classic

He said nothing to add. It would be Europe.

The thought of De La Soul having a feud with anyone made me laugh, congrats.

 

And yes, they blow away most of the acts in this thread, IMO.

 

How can you have a Dr. Octagon album with out the Automator?

 

And didn't Kool Keith 'kill' Dr. Octagon because he was pissed at Dan the Automator?

 

And on an aside, what the hell happened to Del? He released two of my favorite albums right in a row (3030 and Both Sides of the Brain) and then pretty much dissapeared besides two Gorillaz songs, and that was years ago.

 

All in all, this has been such a dumb thread on so many levels.

i saw del on july 1st.

 

he's got a new album coming out.

 

the live show was really really good. especially for a rap show. it seems so easy and natural to him. his flow is impeccable.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Before it got derailed, I was actually learning quite a bit about current rap in this thread.

[Annabelle 0]

there wasn't necesssarily anything wrong with this thread in the first place.

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

I like this thread.

 

I tried to start a All Hip Hop thread a while back, for anything Hip-Hop related, but it didn't take off.

 

Had a damn good, really fucking long Nas Interview chronology posted in it.

 

But, yeah...

 

We mentioned Buddem earlier, and I mentioned his newer mixtapes, especialy Mood Muzik 2.

 

Anybody feelin' that shit?

With all these popradio-puppets like 50 Cent reaching the braindead masses...Biggie Smalls must be spinning in his grand piano box.

 

Mainstream rap is hardcore like Linkin Park.

 

Like Biggie never made any radio/MTV friendly songs? please.

 

50 Cent isnt all about the poppy MTV stuff. Yeah, he releases songs like Candy Shop to radio and TV to move records, but his albums aren't filled with songs like that.

 

I want to swear you were the same one swearing that G unit was the hottest thing going because everything they dropped went Plat. Well, their last two offerings haven't gone gold....combined.

 

Memphis fucking Bleek sold more albums than the last TWO G-unit releases. Stop and think about that for a second. You say Jay can't make anyone a star, just look at bleek.....Well....he out sold the last TWO g-unit releases. Two releases that didn't suffer from lack of airplay or promotion. TWO. And one of them was Mobb Fucking Deep.

 

And we will see how 50s next album sells. I have no doubt it will go plat...doubt that Lloyd will go plat. I KNOW that buck isn't going plat. Dude isn't even liked in the south. He rode that G-Unit wave the same way Obie Trice rode that Eminem wave to go Plat the first time(and trice is infinately more talented that buck, banks, and 50, I just know damn well he won't go plat again). Buck won't break 200,000. Banks MIGHT go gold because everyone knows he is basically the most talented of those G-unit dudes (not counting Mobb Deep or MOP). And lord knows that if they drop a Ma$e album, that shit will sell like 5 copies. And that would just be members of G-unit buying it.

 

You are nuts. Yeah, Mobb Deep and Tony Yayo didnt sell well (they didn't sell any worse than Bleek's last album "534" though).. and frankly their albums were pretty crappy.. but like I said you cant expect EVERYONE from G-Unit to blow up. What record label has made every single person on their label a star? Young Buck went pat with his first album.. will he go plat again? Maybe, maybe not, but he's the 3rd most popular guy in G-Unit after 50 and Banks. He'll still sell big. And Banks sold 4 million records with Hunger for More, so for you to say he "might go gold" is completely retarded.

 

Dont fool yourself. People will still want to listen to em more than they would want to hear 50. You want to look at his last few albums, but since then his movie and video games have come out and look at the sales of that. His drawing power has definately faded.

 

No they dont. Eminem isn't as big as 50 anymore. 50's movie didnt do so well but that has nothing to do with his music.. the shitty soundtrack for that movie still went triple platinum. People want to hear his music.
