How many black people work for Vice/Noisey/Complex/SPIN/Rolling Stone? (UPDATE :BUZZFEED included)

[Brooklynzson]

This whole thread reminds me of when dame dash was going on a rant about lyor and he was like "what white artist did he ever break? What did he even do in our culture to be put in a position as a decision maker over our music?" And that was years ago.

Fast forward to 2016 one of the biggest artists in the game now-- Young Thug is asking permission from that man to answer questions during a live interview. shyt is crazy.

We need to get @Brooklynzson in here and put serious thought into trying to turn the Coli into an entertainment website like complex but ran by Black people. We literally have everything in place from the name recognition to the traffic in order to make this shyt pop. I know there are industry heads that post on here too. We could be generating original content out the ass #fortheculture

Funny i was just thinking about something like this over the weekend.

Let's do it boss man. No reason why we can't do it bigger and better than these white publications. It is OUR music.

I said this January of last year:

Vice/Noisey are some culture vultures. There was no reason they should of included Jeezy and his beef other than to stur up trouble. And they don't have anyone Black or "urban" on their staff who can conduct the interviews instead of this Leave it to beaver looking cat? I find alot of Vice's content racist as they very rarely show Blacks in a positive light on their channel. Screw them and anyone who disagrees with me! Half a$$ed journalism.

But hey, what do i know.

Any black person that supports Vice in any way is fukking dumb impressionable c00n that I refuse to accept. I'm just gonna deadass just tell you that straight up to your face. Go to their offices and see if they think about hiring your black ass son. Unless you a rapper, or african warlord, or some bizarrew stereotype of blackness that can be exploited for monetary gain, you ain't getting in them offices even as a waterboy. Maybe as an intern. So seriously, I would understand why you impressionable ass house nikkas wouldn't even see that. I used to check out that site from 2004-2010 and I can tell you as I picked up copies of Vice Magazine that I still have from 2007-2008 when it was free and it still is free at American Apparel...it was always free and supported by ads that was the whole point of the magazine to function as a media art wank rag that you[d see in deli magazine stands in the lower east side today. THEY NEVER INTERVIEWED RAPPERS PRIOR TO 2010. Or any black people really for that matter except for certain features but barely.

you are SO not hip to this game at all. I have been a music head since the 90s besides my own music and DJ background (don't want to spill too much on this forum). I've invested so much time in the culture and researching about music, art, fashion, all of thast while trying to build up my own brand that would ultimately help the black communit in retrospect by providing a viable platform to present black creativity controlled by us for us to the masses. I ain't gonna discuss my moves on here no more, if you want to get at me get at my, I have experience in social media, I have my own successful blog that I have been running since 2011 with almost 4,000, I kno you don't know this shyt you blind as fukk. And I am not saying this as a diss cause I respect the opinions of other grown black men trying to make it in this world, but I am giving you the heads up! YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON! BEHIND THE SCENES!

Black people are being phased out of the entertainment industry from behind the scenes and just as entertainment!

DO YOU NOT SEE THE PARALLLELS TO MINSTRELSY!?

@PhonZhi been fukking telling yall for ages and you say his approach is corny but nikkas will not listen...cause they fighting to still be nikkaS!
WE ARE KINGS AND QUEENS SON! REMEMBER THIS! AND STAY BLACK AND PROUD!

so much truth being dropped.

 

[Unknown Poster]

That's a great story but your success should be inspiration enough...

I sincerely believe we need to let them have this and attack lucrative industries full force

1000 black billionaire businessmen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1000s of entertainers

Honestly the only people I want to help are liberian/philliphino/aboriginal kids
and Nigerian kids who get burned when accused of witchcraft

And after that debuckle I read about a well to do brother helping the hood
got robbed/shot by the very same kids he was helping

it left a bad taste

After reading the bolded it's obvious we aren't on the same page and there's no reason for me to continue this conversation with you.

Have a nice life. My goals and your goals aren't the same and it's way too obvious. You sounding straight up like a c00n with this fukking "we is our ow worst enemy" bullshyt and I personally don't fukk with c00ns of any kind.

You can focus on multiple tasks at once my effiors. You act like this is my only concern, obviously you have no idea where these 40,000+ daps came from...not talking to myself.

Yup. You just want to help westerners


Fukk those impoverished kids in Africa and The Phillipines right ?

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

that tumblr barely scratched the surface of gavin mcinnes's fukk shyt. also molly crabapple, who's a frequent contributor to vice(and probably a self hating puerto rican but thats another story) doxxed the woman who dug up dylan roof's manifesto, exposing her to retribution from countless white nationalists. vice can eat all the dikks.

i like craig jenkins and kid mero tho

Yeah, I'm sure no 3rd world kids in Africa who'll stick you for your paper

Helping people will always get you hemmed up, whether you're in Africa, Detroit, or fukking Afghanistan.

Don't fukking put 3rd world nikkaz on no pedestal

 

[Roland Coltrane]

I fukk w/ biz but ive never actually seen a picture of him. Which is kind of odd considering a lot of these writing types market themselves to some degree

I know that BigGhost or w/e dude who does album reviews on his site isn't black. He's a fukking white guy from Canada. He wants it to be kept a secret

 

[Doomsday]

I actually applied for a job at complex that I was more than qualified for. I believe it was editorial producer/ on air talent. I produced a couple shows for thisis50--that did well so I figured I had the job in the bag.

Even had references of two people that work at complex now...never heard from them.

Meanwhile they got that Joo Emily Oberg or whatever her name is interviewing rappers asking retarded questions about secret daps and bullshyt.

We need our own publications cuz as long as we begging hipster cacs for jobs we're at their mercy.

Even applied for a job at rap genius (white owned) which I doubr I'll get either. At the end of the day these white people just wanna profit off Black Culture but don't want to Work with Black PEOPLE.


PS I don't care who reads this post.

And this is exactly what I'm talking about. Don't really like blacks, but want to be in our club house. Just like all these obsessed wannabes online who really hate blacks in the real world.

If this isn't racist idk what is

 

[TransJenner]

Emily from Complex is always stealing from KTT though it was getting ridiculous

this is a great thread.

I don't have to physically be there to send food and scholarships
