Does the large Caribbean presence in NYC's Hip Hop scene explain the disconnect with other regions?

Yes Jamaicans are black people. However, YOU, Odot Meta, Poiter, and Illmatic claim we are "different black people." You even went on to say that "we came from different places in africa and different tribes."

Blackness is diverse.

I can't see shyt the fakkit is saying, lol.

Good. But everyone else can. More proof that this nikka is effeminate, slow, and unable to follow basic concepts. This nikka flip flopped his stance and POV's every other post because he's so emotionallllllll.
How you rack up 12k posts in a year and a half? nikka get a life or a girl. Hating on Jamaicans and an inferiority complex is bad for your health. Bummy ass nikka.

Bruh, I gives a fucc about this.

My point was/is: a NY nicca is a NY nicca, no matter where they or their family are supposedly "from".
Brah, why you responding then?
again:
Plenty of AA's and Caribbs are born in raised in countries like Japan. We know they would be considered a Japanese CITIZEN. His ethnicity and descent will always remain AA/and or Caribb.

This is a really simple concept. nikkas misinterpreting is eithier slow, high, or deliberate because they suffer from inferiority complexes.

...and here's where we come full circle.

As Black folks, by and large we appreciate Black chit.
NY Black folks are NYers before they're Black.

That's why the West was fuccin' wit' the South, and the Midwest and whatnot.
Like Pac said, he knew Thug Life was gonna be successful because (paraphrasing):
"This is the way of life that is lived by the most niccas."
Nah, I always knew I was black first. I get where you're going, though.

We just lived different from most people. We had trains, everywhere else had cars. We was stacked up on each other with all the buildings, everywhere else had space. We had all these different ethnic groups who was racist as shyt, everywhere else just had white. We had to be aware of who each type of person exist because you can easily be a victim, everywhere else could spot the danger more easily since people wasn't all over the place. There is more, but you get my point.

nikka STFU and stop trying to change up.

You claim to be a black man right? Simple question; If you was born and raised in Japan and you decided to join the track team in high school. You end up being faster than every japanese, on the team. Even the country!

Are you going to attribute this to your black genetics? Your black AA parents? or are you going to attribute that to your japanese upbringing?:mjlol:

We both know the answer. You just don't want to give caribbeans kings the shine we deserve.

Nicca...what in the natural fucc are you talmbat??

so you sayin'...Jamaicans influence in hip-hop...is just them using their physical gifts,
and not because of their upbringing??

They're just born with the chit??

Everywhere else had the same ethnicities as y'all
cleveland and chicago have sizable amounts of ricans and even something y'all didn't have until fairly recently...mexicans.
i grew up w/ somalis, laos, cambos, etc.
No other black ethnic groups came around outside of african refugees.
I notice islanders only move where their group is. AAs pioneer. You can find us anywhere (which is fukking dumb and bad strategy, but hey...that's how we are)...Coward nikkas can't make it without their homeboys, even lifewise.
I wonder how these groups would do if they had to live like us with no lifeline. No place to call home...they ain't doing so well with it, tbh. It doesn't give you superpowers.

In sports yes. Thats obvious.
In hip hop I already state that the were influenced by their caribb culture as well as AA culture. Very simple brah!

That's true, and you know what, Chicago nikkas reminded me NYC nikkas. It used to trip me out how we seemed to gel with each other, they just had more southern to their talk and more into gangs. Everywhere else, we were different. Still cool with each other, at least on my part, but still different.

I hear what you're saying, but hear me:

The bold is what i'm saying. NYers live different from most people.

I have an auntie from the deep south that went to NY to go to school. She became a completely different person.
You have to. You have to be "New Yorky" to live in New York. You have to walk with traffic. You have to talk like
a New Yorker. Even a Black New Yorker will cuss someone out like a non-Black New Yorker, they'll say the same chit. It's wild.
You gotta call Sweet & Sour Sauce "Duck Sauce". It's a whole 'nother animal from any place.

Conversely, Oakland niccas = KC niccas = St. Louis niccas = Memphis niccas = Detroit niccas =
Louisville niccas = Cleveland niccas = Seattle niccas, and I can go on.

To an extent I could see that, Frisco is like that to a small extent. Its certain shyt nikkas in Frisco will fukk with that nobody else in the Bay does let alone the rest of the country lol. Oakland nikkas were always more in tune with the Southern/Midwestern music scenes... a lot of Frisco nikkas only slap Bay Area shyt with some SoCal shyt mixed in sometimes. The provincialism factor probably does account for a lot of it in New York... The moment you're in a black city/community that's outside of NYC's sphere of influence though (i.e. Philly) you're back in Black America tho lol.
