Fat Joe Uses The N-Word A Bunch Of Times While Discussing Racism In Hip-Hop

[melraH]

All twitter did was segregate the African diaspora even further with this whole FBA shyt while these cacs in the supreme court is going HAM and they just getting warmed up. Them slave ships dropped stolen Africans all over the Continent of America. Instead of being on code for CACs we are all been conditioned to going at each other. shyt is crazy CACs wiped out Millions of Lives and them called them savages

Fat Joe has never claimed Black, which would have been helpful when he responded to questions about him saying the n word

To my knowledge at least

The fukk you gon do about it either way? Respectfully

Right all some of these nikkaz do is complain. They ain’t going to do a damn thing about him saying the n word.

There is no "obviously" just because your skin is darker.

I know Hispanic people that are darker than black people and black people who are lighter than some white people. There's nothing "obvious" about that. How you look doesn't determine what you are.

You’re right but phenotype is what defines race. Also the Hispanic people who are darker than Black people are Black people too.

 

[Unbothered]

He’s Puerto Rican, right? What’s the problem

Puerto Ricans aren't always mixed with Black, tho...some are White, and Fat Joe clearly and visually doesn't have an ounce of Black in him.

Fat Joe is a White Puerto Rican who happened to hang around and come up with a lot of Black people during his youth and early parts of his Hip-Hop career, but that doesn't make him Black.

Big Noyd, associated with Mobb Deep, for example, is half Puerto Rican and Black, and he's undoubtedly Black in appearance, shyt I bet a lot of people didn't even know he was half Puerto Rican, nobody would doubt Noyd's Blackness because it's apparent.

We gotta stop with this blanket generalization that Puerto Ricans are Black; yes, some of them are, but somebody like Fat Joe clearly isn't Black, and that's just based on his appearance and characteristics alone.

Brah is a cultural thing in NY in the hood everybody and everything is a nikka. And "Caribbeans" and black folk been in the Hood together for decades. You go to your very light PR friends crib and see a nice large picture in the living room of James Brown and say wow nice pic of the Godfather of soul, that ain't James brown that's my abuela
Also for clarification before 911 and gentrification it was weird to see white people in "hood areas"

I was replying to what the other posted said
If Big Pun was actually Black then cool

That other shyt, Black in spirit, is some lame shyt no matter how you try to rationalize it

And it never benefits us on a bigger level

ALL FACTS!!

Black New Yorkers seem to be ok with non blacks using the n-word. I don't get it. The same with Californians

Exactly. I forgot about Banks. But he's another Puerto Rican dude.

I used to go to visit family in the south when I was a kid. I used to come back home and tell my friends that I didn't see any Spanish people. HAHA! It was the total opposite of what we experience in NYC. So it's definitely about where you're from. I grew up around all black and hispanic people. So I didn't really start seeing white people a lot until high school because I had to travel further for that. So my early experience was mostly around people who looked like me and spoke how I did.

Then in college, it was a bunch of people who weren't even from NY or black. So that's when I started seeing that these things don’t always crossover to other places because the experiences and history with them are mad different, depending on where you're from.

Facts...thats why i love reading too. Because it expands your worldview. One of my favorite books is Deacon King Kong. It takes place in a fictional house projects in 1970s nyc based on the authors childhood. The projects were full of black, pr, and dominican people...like you described. They were for the most part like family. It was interesting because where im from growing up the neighborhoods were not de jure segregated obivously but for the most part they were de facto segregated. Our projects were 99 percent black. So your background definitely shapes you and everything doesnt always translate.

There is no spirit in puns case. PuertoRicans have African in them deep.

I remember watching (I think it was) Teen Summit one day and they asked Fat Joe about his usage of the n-word. I remember him saying something like Puerto Ricans having black ancestry or something like that

 

[Peabo Bryson]

LOL there's no reason to try and fight it... NYC and South Florida culture have always been like this. The Boricuas in NYC say the word freely and the Chico's in Florida do as well. And be around black folk all day. If it bothers you, and you walked around NYC or Miami, you'd be constantly getting upset cause the word flies like crazy out of the mouths of even white-looking Latinos. And no one bats an eye. Nothing you can do to change it.. and if you don't like it, just be glad it doesn't fly wherever you're from or live.

I even remember Pitbull, who is obviously a white Cuban, was saying nikka on all his early stuff and his first album. But if you notice, he stopped saying it after a certain point and it is NEVER on any of his later material. Either someone outside of FL/NY checked him, or since he traveled the world and became 'Mr. Worldwide', he realized other places just wouldn't understand and he deaded it. Same thing with Termanology....white looking as fukk... listen to his earlier records... plenty of nikka this nikka that. And he even admits he is only half PR, and half French. But at some point dude stopped using the word. Always found it interesting...
