Since @IllmaticDelta took an unprovoked shot at me after I left him alone a long time ago... it's only right I take a shot back.
I can put the bullshyt to the side and say Illmaticdelta is a very knowledgeable brother when it comes to Hip Hop history. I have been very enlightened by the info he has posted thru the years. But the boy is human and he's liable to make errors too. Now I get it, he's liked by ya'll but ol boy seems to be on some "I'm never wrong" shyt and ya'll enable him.
Case in point when in this very thread he made up some bullshyt about Ralph Mcdaniels not knowing what was going on in the Bronx with Hip Hop during the 70's. But then he goofed by trying to discredit when Ralph started DJiing and posted an interview where Ralph said he got into hip hop in 1976. Illmatic forgot he already said Ralph didnt know what was going on in the 70's Bronx but then posted an interview where Ralph said he was aware of it in 1976. LOL He messed up on that one and ya'll gave it a pass even tho he was the one that went off topic to bring up the 70's when the conversation was about an interview in 2007. Him bringing up what Ralph knew or didn't know in the 70's didn't even make sense to bring up when the conversation was about 2007. But again ya'll gave him a pass.
But the one big issue that I had and still have with Illmatic and I stand on him being wrong is that he attempted to justify Tariq Nasheeds Diaspora War in Hip Hop when Diaspora Wars in Hip Hop don't exist. Illmatic went as far as saying that Afrika Bambatta, the leader of the Universal Zulu Nation wasn't an authority on saying that Hip Hop was colorless. And ya'll co signed that bullshyt. Like who is Illmaticdelta to change the rules? He then went as far as discrediting Ralph McDaniles and Davey D on top of Afrikka Bambatta as a means of justifying Tariq Nasheeds 2 year old made up diaspora War in Hip Hop. And he didn't use pioneers to make this claim...Illmatic said that Bam wasn't an authority because "he" said so...And ya'll co signed him.
The icing on the cake was when Illmaticdelta would post a bunch of videos and would get daps in under 1 minute knowing damn well the people posting the daps couldn't have watched all those videos in a minute. LOL That's when I realized most of the people in this thread didnt want to have a real discussion on Hip Hop culture at all. This was more of a Tariq Nasheed circle jerk where Tariq is right even if he's wrong. Keep in mind, I fux with Tariq, but if he's wrong, he's wrong. And in return posters took shots at me because I would rather actually talk about the culture then circle Jerk Tariq. I even pointed out in that other thread, since Bam was exposed as a pedo did any council ever come out to say that Hip Hop was no longer colorless? Of course no one could answer because that never happened. And not one person now can truly argue against Bam saying Hip Hop is colorless since the 80's to justify Tariq Nasheeds current made up diaspora war mixing in Hip Hop that is about separating ethnicities in Hip Hop.
