She keeps saying "I" as if it matters that she in particular is writing this review... as if it's one famous person commenting on an equal or some shyt

And she can't even get through an album review without throwing in some feminist shyt that no one's tryna hear :comeon:

She's not his best friend now, let alone 11 years ago...I'm sure they knew each other, but I doubt they were THAT tight.

Most of y'all nikkas only hate her now that she soiled the name of your personal Jesus. Y'all ain't even know who the hell she was til last month. :russ:

this is the type of shyt that men who want to prove a certain point, refer to when addressing emotional women who are supposed to be objective...not me tho :whistle:

But I’ve never bought JayZ’s whole pimp thing. He’s what I call an unconvincing misogynist. His videos-—where bikini-clad models end up drenched in bubbly-—are a combination of peer pressure and unnecessary pandering to the South

That is the greatest pass ever given to a rapper. fukkin brilliant...

"Those mean gold tooth nappy headed monsters from Texas make him act that way. He's really a distinguished gentleman"


:smugfavre:

This is why Pimp C, Goodie Mob and Outkast used to shyt on NY media... Writing like this was the norm back in the day.. It was actually much worse in the mid 90's...

poor Jay-Z, survives losing 92 bricks and getting pulled over on the i-95 in the crack era but buckles to video performance peer pressure from Pimp C

:snoop: Vibe was absolutely disgusting back then...I'm not even gonna bother reading the article, that excerpt alone is pathetic enough...cognitive dissonance in it's purest form...what's a hardcore feminist to do when the rapper she has an weird creepy unwavering love for is one of the most unrepentant misogynists in rap? Come up with hilarious bullshyt like that....somebody find their review of Stillmatic, they gave it like 2/5 or something...paragraphs full of nothing but thinly veiled camel lust fueled disdain...I wouldn't doubt at all if it was Dream that wrote that one too

VIBE have always sh1tted on Nas, one interview they called him a liar and under achiever. VIBE was always on that pompous sh1t they moved onto Timberlake/Bieber sh1t mad fast.

I actually hate that magazine, i havent read that since 2002/3 after the Nas sabotage article and reading their editors what you listening too, ... all trying to come of superior.

its sad cause similar to The Source, they started out with good intentions. We needed a high profile black magazine that had solid journalism about black culture and they pretty great imagery as well. I mean, they had cats like Greg Tate writing for them and he is a truly great writer even if i don't always agree with him. But as soon as they exploited that East/West bs, they lost credibility. They are just as responsible for Pac and BIgs death as anyone. They really sensationalised that whole ish.

if she is not his best friend, she is certainly his close friend, certainly too close for critical independence. and please, they been friends way before 2001. she said they became friends after she reviewed RD in the Village Voice.

The South really shouldve sh!tted on New York way more than they have. The disrespect was out of control. This shi!t was 6 years AFTER the 95 Source Awards and they still treating them like savages...

And lol at Jigga falling for peer pressure in his 30s. "truthfuly I want to rhyme like Common Sense" :sadcam:
