yo i feel ya...i wonder the same things...whats up wit the community...if one of us progresses like wayne brady ppl say the guy tryin 2 act white or summin...then that makes the next guy like hmmm i aint go try n go that road or ppl might call me a sell out...

WELL DH, IT DEPENDES ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS,THOSE WHO MOCK AND OFFER NEGATIVITY,NEVER OFFER RESOLUTION,SURE I HATE IGNORANCE,BUT THIS FORUM IS ABOUT UPLIFTING BLACK INFLUENCE NOT TAKING BRICKS FROM THE FOUNDATION.WHAT IS YOUR PLAN MY BROTHER?

basically

[QUOTE=1800FabFlow] man wayne brade is a sellout

i never really watched that show w/ drew carey
whatever its called
but all that singin and whatever they do


i understand he cakin

but there's other ways to better yourself then to completely assimilate yourself with white people and forget where u came from

come on son....i could talk as proper as any white man.....
i can dress sharp like diddy if i want to
i could be more qualified for a job and speak better in an interview than a white counterpart

but u will never here a nigga call me white or a sellout.....cuz deep down.....im still a nigga from the ghetto....and no matter how much money i make in life.....i'll never forget that

all im tryna say dipsey is we have no morals its all about dressin the same being materialistic i mean dang. yall cant see we still stuck in slavery. have of these rappers aint got no money cuz the artist is last to see their money. cars and jewlery wat is camron and jim jones teaching blacks not a dang thing thats why i love 2pac and ol school rappers they had something to say and teach blacks they had they own style im 22 years old and this craziness gotta stop. now a days our leaders is hip hop artist but they leading us in the wrong direction. wat is music music consists of lyrics and beats. the beat sets the tone and the lyrics give direction if u listen to the lyrics wat direction they give us nuttin. back in slavery we use songs to tell other slaves something was going on now it like wat yall talkin about nuttin

why in order to be black u gotta be a thug and talk with slang i dont get that true its a way of comunicating with one another but if one doesnt do that why we gotta down our brother. we say this person is a sellout but remember that same brother gotta put food on his table have a house over his head once a person gets in the game they work for the higher man which 9 times out of ten is the white man so we gotta satisfy him in order to live out life unless u wanna drug deal on the streets and majority of the time that money wont last thats why its called fast money cuz it goes fast

2pac also taught us "thug life"
beef
and to hate white people

I FEEL YOU ON THAT,BUT LIKE THE WISEST NIGGA ON THIS SITE ASKED YOU WHAT IS YOUR PLAN MY NIGGA DONT TEAR DOWN A RACE IF YOU DONT HAVE A PLAN TO BUILD UP,THEN WE CAN TALK?

dont talk 2 me like im sum lil kid...im 21 yrs old so im on tha same level as u...but how can u say that rappers are tha ones like guidin us through life..i mean if ur mature enuff and sh*t u obviously aint gunna follow in tha footsteps of wat cam'ron or 50 cent is rappin about or tellin u 2 do in a song...thas redicolous

son u got no idea what u talkin about

hip hop gives us hope
thats what it teaches us
an artist can relate to a nigga and give him hope that a nigga can come from nothing and make something out of themselves

jayz is who i look up to
big business

when tupac talked about being a thug remember he wasnt saying a thug is a person is that shoot guns and all that he was saying a thug is a person that makes it out of a hard situation like a rose that grew from a concrete thats thug i love hip hop but on da real wat do u think our ancestor is saying they work so hard and its like its like i dont no i just wish i could satisfy all of your intelect hunger this may not taste good to all of u but whoever wants to make a buffet out of this dig in

DH TELL ME HOW DO WE COME OUT OF THIS SLAVERY MENTALITY IN YOUR EYES?DH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MAN THAT TALKS AND A MAN THAT DOES IS A COMFORT ZONE.IF HIP HOP HAS BEEN EXPLOITED TELL HOW AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE?

u right fab all dat is true but i feel most of my peeps 4got the 2 things that made blacks great church and education those 2 elements made web du boise great and all of our 4 fathers im not trying to tear my race down im trying to renovate and restore the passion and morals of wat it means. most of the time im around older people 30 and up. if we didnt have church we had morals or vice versa. thats all we had back then. rosa parks fought for us to sit in the front but we run to the back to relax she did that for nuttin. martin made a long speach but we snore on it. nat turner was a true thug but he got his head cut off for nuttin we went from diamond minds to diamond chains sometimes i wish we were still kings and queens in africa i wanna do something but im standing alone. im tired of older folks sayin these kids dont care wat the white man do to them i wanna rivive the passion we had for one another to pic us up turn us around and plant our feet on solid ground
