Not suprised really. Music is a product. What really get's me is dudes in teh video acting "hard" behind an 8 year old The things people do for money.
I didn't complain. The situation is what it is, regardless if you are ignorant of it or not. And What?!?!? Coleman young had economic plans. ... IT was the black community that didn't listen and rejected him, and the white power business structure that didn't want him to enforce the plans. What the black middle class did in 1970-88 is prolly one the worst things any group of black people did on Earth. We had no unity and that's one of the reason leaders in the 40-70's didn't make as much progress as we should have the gangs, violence, drug culture and all that shyt in the first place... and it's the reason y we can't break down barriers as a group. We can't be happy with only a few of us making it out of our current situations. And being a street nikka destroys communities... but I'm not down for attacking only a part of the symptoms and none of the causes.

By the way, you're a fool if you think that community circumstances don't affect situations. There are people I deal w on the regular basis (associates) who don't even realize that their lives were easy as shyt compared to some of the people they had to work for and with. Like I said ignoring the circumstances doesn't save your people. I know that you are comfortable throwing most of our people in the bushes, so you could care less.... but if you did care about the economic state of the black community you would realize that action and a message that doesn't segregate and further the divide is more appropriate.
I'm a part of organizations that train black youth on business and technology for free (because of grants).. I'm not in those groups saying it's Ok to be nikkas... I promote different things.. but at the same time I can understand the mental barriers that some face when it comes to advancement.
You have to do both, D. Tucker actually is ignorant on how subcultures are formed in the first place and so are you.
Blacks didn't understand his full plan. They kept reelecting him, but the black elites rejected him because white people didn't like him.im not sure what you mean by the black community rejecting him, he was reelected a million times so a large segment of the black population approved of him, and of course the white community rejected his plans, that is kinda my point
i agree, but.. you're against integration now?and what happened with the black middle class happened because of integration. educated and middle class blacks leaving black communities and going into white communities and the closing of small black business was one of the negative side effects of the civil rights movement, that is why i said black leaders of that time where pushing integration too hard and they made mistakes, integration and civil rights laws and even projects and government programs were seen as if they were an actual economic plan, which they were not
I use it for what it is... some are destructive.... but most are just by products of an overall issue.but you are trying to bamboozle me, first you are using "street nikka" as a euphemism, when in reality a "street nikka" is a person that commits crimes against black people, terrorizes black people and contributes to the destruction of the black community
Because insulting a steet nikka does nothing for me.. and it's attacking a symptom. D. Tucker people can divide us. They have an agenda that I feel is misguided.. a hood person can simply be educated.using your logic, how is a "street nikka" any less culpable then delores tucker? why do you not insult a "street nikka" with the same level of vitriol that you insult delores tucker with?
You shouldn't accept commercialized images... but we can't attack the after product when that is out of our control.... at least not focus on that before we even know how to fix the prototypes. Besides our culture is so diverse that not every part of it is something we can all identify with so you don't have to accept anything.and secondly you are trying to bamboozles me in saying that if corporate america commercializes the image of the "street nikka" that i as a black person am obliged to see it as my culture, when in fact its just a culture that is going against me, for the record i dont have to respect anything or anybody that is going against black people
You can't excel at a game unless you first know the rules. After that you can figure out a good way to play it.of course circumstances effect situations, there is no doubt that racism has a negative impact, but black culture is what determines whether black people can defend ourselves from attacks
for example if you live in a city surrounded by white people and you have a culture that says "making it rain" is part of your identity and culture, that level of financial illiteracy will make it unlikely that you will be able to counterattack an economic attack from your enemies that surround you
there is no logical reason why your enemies will change the way they do things, so if its your enemies fault that you are making it rain and being a "street nikka" then nothing will ever change, the only real change we can control is ourselves, if you are waiting for the circumstance to change you will be waiting for a long time
I'm a narcissist.. so I'm not really atoning.that is good, at least you are atoning for the destruction of black people that you participated in earlier in your life
good or bad, music is art....yeah i agree we have to do both, but my point is that delores tucker was right about the importance of having a positive black culture, and the people that said culture doesnt matter or that music is just a reflection were wrong
They are selling that view to black elites so that those elites can come and divide us... and are selling it to mainstream America to keep the Mistral shows going. Most other black people just see it as a corny expression of reality.delores tucker like any other black leader was not perfect but one thing i learned from her is that anybody that says culture doesnt matter is full of shyt, culture matters, culture is the most important thing we have and we in the rap community fukked up by allowing corporate america to sell us a distorted form of our own culture
Blacks didn't understand his full plan. They kept reelecting him, but the black elites rejected him because white people didn't like him.
i agree, but.. you're against integration now?
And fyi, many of the black leaders that were against the integration were... *cough, black Muslim leaders.

He is actually pretty good.
If he makes it through the 13-17 or so age range with his head on straight and comes out alright, possibly clean and sober he could have a long career.
