Common on MSNBC

Michael was spot on

this is the root of the real argument.. that fine line we cant cross between leading the sheep and not "selling out".. so many cats could be great leaders if one or two (or 100) sheep didnt blurt out SELL OUT! when they were trying to lead.. we black folks are good at sitting safely on the side and telling all the other black folks why "this nikka aint got no business tryna tell me what to do".. damn near every black leader has had to deal with this type of treason
as far as justifying the use of "nikka"... this word is as american as baseball.. it aint going no where in our lifetime.. not saying its right, but even if us negroes stop using it, whitey nem gonna keep it alive.. gotta role with "nikka" breh

Well I don't want to derail the rthread with the nikka argument, but nikka is simply a bad habit from slavery, it has no real purpose and I using it as a way to indentify ourselves is really one of the stupidest ideas black have had, the more I think about it the more retarded it seems

I think common and kanye and rappers do it just to sound hard and be hip, you can say it will be here forever but I don't think nikka will ever be a positive word it will always be a profanity, I think nikka and profanity in rap in general is an example of where people need to lead and not just rep

common murdered cube.. thats qualification what else u got

Cube never gave him a response

and the biggest thing the black community needs is cultural guidance in the form of cultural organizations. i mean ideological based organizations that can go into the neighbourhoods, organize resources, set up breakfast clubs and babysitting, provide education to young brothers, try to find meaningful employment, patrol their neighbourhoods and police them

they need to set up a political wing that can run in elections, a defence wing for patrolling neigbourhoods and getting rid of the criminals, an education wing

essentially the black panther party

the question is, where does the funding come from

no he didnt respond cuz farakhan squashed it

cube wouldve neutered that cat lets be serious, that beat was azz, commons lyrics were great but cube couldve did em dirty

anyways this is all speculative and distracts from the greater point of the thread

just imagine what it was like for us in the 90s when cube was king and common was some herb with a soft voice

I'm a have to wreck a ho-'Shea/I heard a ho say you're her favorite rapper/ So I had to slap her/And violate you, a Muslim drinking brew."
