David Banner Says That Half-Black Rappers Should Not Use the N-word ,( Shots @ J-Cole & Drake ???)

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Lets see where this discussion leads

Somewhere stupid when in 2015 more than one hipster CAC rapper has been using the word. I'm more concerned with that.

 

[Larry Lambo]

You can't have it both ways. We want half blacks to claim their black heritage, but get mad if they refer to themselves as nikkas.

 

[marcuz]

I don't think so.
In rap, there are only two examples; there are lived experiences of killing, and there is the "metaphoric" killing of other rappers, whether lyrically, or monetarily.
There is no killing of "White supremacists" on a large scale, because that doesn't happen in real life.
If it were a real, regular thing, you would be hearing it more.

over 90% of the rappers talkin bout killing nikkas has never killed shyt. it doesn't have to be about killing white people though, but how about conscious songs addressing white supremacy? is that too much to ask? or is everyone like meek mills, scared to confront the elephant in the room

Who the hell is "we"

Black people ain't a monolith

Or maybe, JUST MAYBE that isn't their chosen subject matter !
I don't feel rappers HAVE to talk about "White supremacy" especially
if they truly know nothing about it or how it effects them.
And honestly "Meek Mill" as a rapper has touched on various different topics
and even if he doesn't directly address "White supremacy" dude has certainly rapped
about the effects of it.
Rapping about living in the middle of urban decay, terrible policing, violence over drugs for monetary
gain etc. are valid topics IMO and something that shouldn't be dismissed off hand because the
content may feature violence or offend people's sensibilities.

[Dmoneythegoat]

Hundreds of millions of our ancestors died for being so called "******s"
I honestly believe no one should be saying the word regardless of what race they are

you're giving these rent a nikkas way too much credit. jews give these guys contracts because they're rapping about BULLshyt. damn near every song has the same themes:

- how big and bad i am
- how imma kill nikkas
- how i sell the best drugs
- how i do the best drugs
- how i fukk the most hos, including your ho

shyt aint some type of introspective commentary of living in impoverished neighborhoods, it's just bullshyt. and the reason these nikkas scared to mention white folks, is because white folks sign their checks

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Smart dumb nikka. And yes I said that shyt as a halfbreed.

 

[Another Man]

 

[PhonZhi]

i gave the word up a couple years ago. Disgusting word ESPECIALLY when we call ourselves that

I cant be the only one tired of hearing about the EFFECTS of white supremacy. We've been hearing rappers "report" about the EFFECTS of white supremacy for 25 years now. I want to hear about SOLUTIONS and ways that we can COMBAT white supremacy now. Glorifying black on black violence, criminal behavior and drug abuse isn't helping anyone. In 2015 we need our music to educate, inspire and uplift us like it was created to do. Damn the effects, give me solutions and ways to combat.

Peace

"Jews" give them contracts because their shyt is hot.
Point blank.

We all know this has nothing to do with "jews" and stems directly from
the battle culture that birthed Hip Hop.
It's almost always about how "bad" you are at something and by bad, I obviously
mean "Good" or "Great" at something.
This bravado and braggadocio has always and will likely always be apart of Hip Hop.
Look at any record or really any emcee you hold dear and I guarantee that's apart
of their DNA, no matter who they are.

Hell meek mill has written shyt like this :


And been featured on songs like this :


And as recently as this past month was on a tape where he said this :



I don't think Meek mill is "scared to go at white folks" that's a conclusion you've drawn
because he isn't rappin about what you want him to rap about
I hate to be the one to break it to you but you got it wrong and I don't think Meek Mill is some
supremely deep rapper by any means but he touches on a lot of topics outside of what you've stated.

yeah rappers rap, they're musicians, NOT politicians.
You're barking up the wrong tree if you expect changes in policy and funding from a rapper.

I just...wow

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Looks like he could be related to brother nasim richardson @Tuaminator

Lol..dope.

This just reminded me when I was listening to straight up menace on Apple music and the word jap is blanked out. You can say every derogatory in the book about black folks but one comment about japs is taken out.
