If only these cats would say these things when they're hot and not when their career is in the rear view.
I fukks with banner tho
Um, excuse you
Um,
&
would like a word with you
I only looked at page 1, and 4 of this thread and it's amazing to me how posters will point out Banner's hypocrisy which is fair in my opinion. However, what's really noteworthy is, I haven't seen anyone dispute what he said either. Whether he's a hypocrite is neither here nor there if what he's saying is valid. And it is.
Exactly
it is not valid .
if , it comes from a sellout vessell.

Bullshyt, that'd be like the police saying, "Well, if a this lead came from one of the criminals, it definitely can't be true".
Well, guess what?
Sometimes, the dudes who know the truth are the ones who were doing the bullshyt
That's how John Gotti was taken out. Sammy "The Bull" told the truth on his ass and sold him out.
I don't
I don't know bro I like Pac too but he went from Brenda's having a baby to Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None) to Never Had a Friend Like Me to Hit Em Up to Only God Can Judge Me to Wonda Why They Call U B---- to Same Song to Nothin but Love....and if you remember when he was interviewed by a reporter and asked what would you like people to say about you in ten years, and he said I quote You see that guy over there, Tupac remember when he use to be bad.... So all I am saying is that he knew he still had to grow as a person because life teaches you lessons and the person that you are now will not be the same person in ten years, and if some people say that's not true than you are denying one of the greatest things that make us human, the ability to adapt and overcome and learn from our mistakes...
Nothing in that contradicts. I never understand why people can't comprehend that just because Pac saw SOME women as hoes, that doesn't mean he saw ALL women as hoes. Just because he saw SOME nikkaz as bustas, didn't mean he saw ALL nikkaz as bustas.
The women in "Keep Your Head Up" and "Dear Mama" aint the same hoes he's chasing in "I Get Around". They're different women with different actions, mindsets, and behaviors. You can't put all women in the same box. That's more inauthentic. What Pac did was say, "These are the type of women you ride for and over here are the type of bytches we ride on.
Not contradictory at all. All women aint the same.
Funny because now is the worst era of the genre, 00-06 was the last great era in hip hop before it all went to shyt.
Bullshyt.
Kendrick, Lupe, Cole, etc>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>crunk, trap, snap, hyphy and all that other early 2000s bullshyt
Eminem was terrible by the early '00s and so was 50 and G Unit.
Hip-Hop in 2015 is finally getting back to a place where lyrics and concepts and musical innovation is actually being respected again, unlike in that era when only OUtkast and Kanye West were really doing anything musically innovative or respectable.
The nikka was in his 30s when he was doing it
Its not like he was a teen/early-20s rapper who was lost and enthralled with the "fast women, money, drugs, violence" lifestyle, the nikka was 32 still making c00n music
He's just now reaching the consciousness Tupac had when he was 16
He's behind Joey Bada$$
And wasn't he testifying in front of Congress about how how he should have free speech to rap about foolishness
And?
Dude's change in life.
Dude's struggle with their beliefs in life.
What's your point?
The dude liked to party with hoes.
How does that contradict what he said?
It doesn't.
I mean, look at who Malcolm X was and how Huey Newton died and how Gil Scot Heron died and what James Brown was doing and the shyt Muhammad Ali did and the stuff Farrakhan and them have been accused of over the years.
I mean, all of those dudes were flawed as hell, but they spoke truth about racism.
There is no such thing as "perfect messenger". That's the shyt White folks be talking about when they wanna act like Trayvon or Mike Brown aint shyt because they're not "perfect victims", well NOBODY is perfect. Everybody got flaws. But the truth is the truth whether it's coming from me or you or Sir Mix A Lot or something.
Also, why shouldn't David Banner argue that he has the right to rap about what he wants to in front of Congress?
It's in the fukking constitution that we have free speech. That's why you had fukking country singers back in the day defending Ozzy Osbourne and them right to sing about Satan and shyt.
Either you believe in people's rights to free speech or you don't. You don't have to condone what they're saying to believe they have the right to say it.
