This is true and that’s what I’ve been saying. Remember when people were picking up a Jet/Essence/Right On/Word Up/ Source magazine and were able to get to know artists. Remember when the label would push one song but the b side song would catch on and blow out the intended single? People are still making the “labels are pushing certain artists” narrative but I thought it was supposed to be better now. Yeah people are touring and they’re making money but nikkas don’t know who they are. A lot of past artists made it from some shyt that would never happen now. Artists songs blew up strictly off of radio, an artist would blow up because they were looking good as hell in a magazine, Apollo or some other music show, etc. We have to figure out how to get these million click YouTube artists more popular than they actually are.

Excellent.

Please tell them.

Meanwhile FUNK GOATs like Slave/S.O.S Band:mj: goes uncredited:wow::ohlawd::damn:
Bruno gives all of his influences props over and over again. He dont be out here fakin the funk like he created this shyt out of thin air and he’s not vague about who his influences are. According to this crazy chick. The only thing dude can do to satisfy her is not make music. :what: the fukk? How is that even a remotely rational solution? bytch better get that misinformed nonsense outta here and go focus on some real issues.

its some dumb muthafukkaz on this site

nikkaz talking about "what about the NBA"

nikkaz talking about "but she wearing a sport shirt"

Cultural Appropriation is taking over and profiting from ones culture

The NBA is not a culture it is a business, basketball is not a culture it is a game

when black people play basketball they bring black culture with him because they are black, basketball did not start out with AND1 lmao it looked like the brady bunch

There wasn't any dunks until black players brought what they did in the neighborhood to the NBA

Lastly, the NBA is a white owned organization they are exploiting the black players not the other way around

CLOTHES ARE NOT CULTURE FOR ALL YOU DUMB ASS CACS

If I put on a kufi right now, does that make me the same culturally as a muslim in Jordan, now you dumb muthaufckaz, I'm just a nikka wearing a kufi

A nikka wearing a polo shirt ain't gonna get them admission into the country club jack, fukk outta here

Then you had the dumb ass who said the ol girl calls herself sensei so she cultural vulturing asians lmao

She's not profiting off that or claiming it has her on invention

you see the difference between cacs who are vultures is they suck a culture try until the orginators are gone

Look at MMA, before world war II brazilians ain't no shyt about no goddamn jiujitsu lmao

a japanese man taught some cac in brazil judo, the first thing he do with the knowledge is start challenging people to fights who aren't even professionals, and make a business out of a martial art acting like HE CREATED IT

HAD THE NERVE TO CALL THE shyt BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU WHICH IS AN OXYMORON IN ITSELF LMAO

So when people think of jiujitsu they think of Gracie and not the japanese man who taught him, thats cultural appropriation
Slight correction tho breh..the Japanese man went to Brazil before World War where he taught the Gracies Judo.

We got to take care of our artists man.. I don't know how this will be recieved but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. You know who is actually way doper than I thought?? Azealia Banks!!! I wasn't messing with her past 1991 and of course when the crazy stuff started happening to her I really didn't care. I ended up in a Azealia Banks rabbit hole one night and I was finding myself liking pretty much every song I clicked. She is talented and came in with a different style from what was/is hot. I don't know how or why she ended up becoming what she's known as today but man that woman is pretty talented to me. She's not a great rapper at all to me but she can sing and she's got some good songs to me. It's just sad how we are supposed to be mad at Bruno when artists like Banks and others are just dropping music and don't get celebrated like they should.




I love her house music type stuff.


Maybe because Azelea only marketed herself to an exclusively Gay White male audience

So you opted for 'sarcasm' rather than actually answering my question? Oh, okay.. :patrice:
Nah I actually answered it. Maybe your too stupid to understand. Since that seems to be the case I can't help you.

You mean people like me looking for equality, a fair shake, and not being continually robbed.
Yeah people like you using them words but can't show an example of them actually being the case regarding you. Yep I'm talking about excuse makers like you.

Yeah, you're from the Rush Limbaugh camp. There's enough history to back what I'm saying. If you can't see black folk are getting screwed over in this country constantly, then good luck to the c00n in you.

Nah you just from the bytch ass dude camp. Stupid nikka I said you. Learn how to read bytch and stop trying to use hoe tactics. There is no c00n in me but say what you want bytch because I disagree with you like the bytch you are
