Drop Some Hip Hop Facts Some May Not Know
- Thread starter The Ruler 09
- Start date
Shyne told Game he can't be coming at Jay Z like that cause Jay is his man, Game apologized.
Fat Joe told Shyne that the Rick Ross thing just entertainment.
The roundtable cypher with Big Pun, Canibus, DMX etc was also a full Hip Hop conversation that was dope, used to be on youtube, still available online somewhere.
I got the name Suge Knight Jr. (skj) in college when I signed a young rapper and fellow collegemate to a production deal overseen by a family member...
when the "rapper" reneged on certain obligations .....we decided to part ways......but not without me retaining his "master recordings" for the fact he couldn't compensate me for my expenses i.e (paying his rent, driving his girlfriend to school...feeding him)

Superstar
In the words of Star...white boys into hip hop can easily shake the yoke and switch their style up just like Marky Mark did. White people are caught up in the fad of hip hop. If hip hop wasn't a world wide force white boys would be listening to country or some shyt.
By the way, fukk Brother Ali, he aint hip hop. He's a fan of the fad.
Fat Joe protected Lord Finesse in the streets.
You sound lost bro. I hope time will enlighten you to the truth. I hate what Marky Mark did, I was the one that posted that shyt here, and I will never forgive that or respect him and I think he's a sucker but that's not everyone man. You don't know the history fully, if you understood 100 percent the history you'd know there are real cats in Hip Hop of all races. The people that created Hip Hop disagree with you, you have no authority over them, have you read the Hip Hop Declaration Of Peace? If not I suggest you do. I anticipate what your response to that will be lol but I'm just talking real shyt, you ain't gotta agree. Even in the civil rights movement some white people DIED for black people's rights, before that John Brown died fighting against slavery, these events caused huge implications if you do your research. There are some evil devil white people in history and now but there are some real dudes too. You know John Lennon paid Michael X's bail? And him and Yoko donated things to his movement. Not saying Lennon was perfect but no human being is. I also know white people in real life that are Hip Hop and live and breathe it. The fukk Brother Ali part is just sad, that's more of an indictment of you than anything else, Brother Ali IS Hip Hop, what do YOU do for Hip Hop? A skin colour doesn't make you. Brother Ali has done a lot, he is respected by his peers such as Rakim who has said many complimentary words about Ali. He has worked with Chuck D, Immortal Technique and many others. He is one of the best human beings in Hip Hop. It's just a shame you and some others are like this, it is not progressive at all. Hopefully you fix up one day.

The Hip Hop Declaration Of Peace was presented to the U.N in 2001.
The HipHop Declaration of Peace was presented to the United Nations Organization on May 16th 2001. It was signatured by various organizations such as: Temple Of Hip Hop, Ribbons International, UNESCO and also by 300 Hip-Hop activists, pioneers and UN delegates.
In the first place this document recognises Hip-Hop as an international culture of peace and prosperity. It is also a set of principles which advise all Hip-Hoppers on how to sustain the peaceful character of Hip Hop Kulture and to form worldwide peace.
Additionally this declaration is meant to show Hip-Hop as a positive phenomenon which has nothing in common with the negative image of Hip Hop as something that corrupts young people and encourages them to break the law. KRS One, Pop Master Fabel, Afrika Bambaataa, Ralph Mc Daniels and HarryAllen were some of the people who had their share in creating the declaration.

Afrika Bambaataa was in a gang however he changed it to the Zulu Nation. Zulu Nation acted as a peaceful authority and tried to squash beefs.
Supreme was backing Murda Inc, so they had a lot of street clout behind them.
50 Cent approached Fat Joe on some peace shyt to squash the beef for Chris Lighty,
Cormega had some major issues with Chris Lighty business wise.
