Michael Jordan: "What is a Rakim? Is that hard rap?"

[FinesseKing]

He's from the south bruh & grew up in the 70's & 80's that's why.

My mom did too and she likes Hiphop. WE robbed, stole, and killed to make him rich though...

 

[Taadow]

Why everybody actin' like they didn't listen to Hip-Hop in the country back in the day?

Some of the stuff you calling Hip Hop today was probably apart of R&B back in the day. People Jordan's age didn't grow up with the Rap stuff.

 

[King Sun]

Here people go again, being mad at MJ like he's done something wrong.

LOL @ Rakim being the MJ of rap, he's more like a Charles Barkley.

I'd give that to Pac easily

 

[AJtheOne]

perfect gif usage, I saw this gif just yesterday and was waiting for the right time to drop it

 

[Bugsmoran]

Smh

 

[Edub]

Jordan's teen years were probably filled with sly and the family stone and Chaka Kahn ...makes sense he wasn't on it imo

 

[Roland Coltrane]

What does one have to do with the other?

This is absolutely fukking silly logic.

The exchange is money for product/skill/entertainment. He has no obligation to like what you like.

fukk is wrong with y'all?

Agreed

Folks assume black folks are a monolith and seem legit butthurt about the tastes of a stranger they've never met

Lotta my relatives his age are more on the smooth jazz/r&b tip

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I remember reading somewhere MJ said his favorite artist was Toni Braxton

That's Jordan's fault?

nikkas used to get robbed for their Puma suits and Adidas kicks. I guess we should blame the CEOs of Puma and Adidas for that right?

In the 70's and early 80's? You out of your mind?

No sir - i'm quite in my mind...

I mean, it's one thing to say that rap wasn't as popular as it is today or
that other genres of music weren't bigger or some folk really didn't like it.

However, do y'all think these rappers were just selling records in New York and Los Angeles?
And where do you think these rappers were going on tour?
I am related to a grip of country folks, and they were quite up on their rap back in the day...

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'm a 6'8", black, used to bump Elton John (Love Lies Bleeding), Queen, The Police, The Beatles (Abbey Road), Paul Simon, Radiohead, Portishead, Smashing Pumpkins and a few others to basketball games.

Put so many nikkas on to Radiohead.

Years later, coaching these youngins, I put 'em on to all kinds of dope shyt. Got 'em listening to Beach House on some, "this that Kendrick sample." Got nikkas tweeting out Of Monster and Men and WU LYF lyrics.

with your lame ass comment.

don't question my musical taste breh, I'll run circles around you. I was listening to Portishead long before you fam, don't get me started on trip hop. My vinyl copy of Depression Cherry will be arriving this weekend btw. Imma rep you but watch yaself.

I'm just marveling at the fact that doesn't fukk with hip hop

Micheal always wanted to be white and distance himself from black people, with his black ass people. Even married a Cuban. One of the most racist spics on the planet. Yet you fools by his shoes. Some bought the same ones TWICE! From back in the day and today.

Yes
