He’s from Brooklyn
They have played his music at every game since before he went to jail
Brooklyn Nets embrace their rappers. They had a whole Jersey theme based on Biggie. Should they not have done that because biggie sold crack and beat in lik Kim?
I never said I approved of them paying homage to Big or the opposite. I compared the Tory Lanez situation to this. At the very least BIG was an icon in rap before he died with classics. Shrumda had like one hot song and EP before he got arrested. Imagine doing all this over a fukking Bobby Shrumda. :mjlol: All I’m saying is there’s better people that look like us for them to promote instead of randomly clout chasing a C list rapper.

You see how everyone skipped over this post right.

Cats acting like dude got a parade & shyt. He's a famous rapper. Entertainers get shown on the big screen & gifted jerseys & team apparel all the time.
Skipping over shyt that blows up your argument is the TLR way.

While I'm not happy to see a sports franchise doing this Shmurda gesture, you were right about the Nets paying honor and tribute to people for positive reasons.

People who duck acknowledging being proven wrong is just how some dudes get down.

Cause They dont respect the intellectuals. Only the clout demons in that fast life.

They honored black businesses & NYC essential workers as well.

I'm not saying that they never did good things for young kids, all I said is that it never gets as much attention as the breh that gets out of jail. Just cause you help young kids, dont mean that you are excused to supporting dysfunction.

It gets plenty of attention. Those posts are all over the teams' social media accounts. And that Kyrie news paying for the Lincoln seniors was on multiple platforms.

You're right. Bottom line is that the culture has to change. Hood shyt has become way too popularized and celebrated to the point there is no balance.
I am all for being a rebel and doing things outside the scope of capitalism but criminality isn't it. Part of the reason we celebrate hood shyt is because we think its rebellious and its going against the system of White Supremacy. In actuality its just a part of the system of White Supremacy and screws us as a people in the long run. There is nothing strong, honorable or rebellious about a brother with 3 felonies, who can barely read, has multiple baby mamas, and has no marketable/valuable skills. I respect a hood dude following in the footsteps of someone like Fred Hampton more than any of the clown shyt that's considered being a 'real nikka' nowadays.
We're doing shyt backwards and we need to realize this before its too late.

The real black men are disciplined, educated, knowledgable etc. Those are the brothers I'd go into to battle with. These hood nikkas aren't a threat to anyone but other hood nikkas

People think that by being a "real nikka" that stays on the streets all day, could you build a house, build infrastructure, and build generational businesses. :smh:

Cats think that being articulate and intelligent is "White" while going all out on being stereotypes, stereotypes created by white supremacy at that, to be the authentic black experience.

Shmurder is getting his dikk licked too much and he’s not a good rapper and yeah degeneracy is praised too much.

But what’s the issue? He’s a famous rapper of course he’s gonna be shown on the jumbotron. Hot Nikka and Computers are classics they play them like every game.

At least breh served his time and came back on positive vibes. He’s been talking about never going back, investing, helping the community, and making music.

Cueno and Rasha were the true :demonic: and they never getting out :manny:

:jbhmm:


This MSG poster says everything about how the money corporations generate from hip hop has changed their attitudes about the promotion of those artists.

Only dudes over a certain have seen how it played out. For the others, we've all heard of RUNDMC, right?

They were the face of hip hop for years, and one of the first acts to get the mainstream push.

In the 90s, when the Knicks decide to record a hiphop based promo/fight song......RUNDMC would have been the obvious choice, right?

Look at the incentive that the young black male gets for being an intellectual.

-years of being undermined by schools
-family and friends underestimating them
-women bypassing them
-formative years in the books, and skipping most get-togethers, parties, and trips altogether.
-White supremacy holding them back
-waits until 20 something, or late as 30 something, until they get financial success

Look at the incentive that the young black mae gets for being a degenerate street thug:

-bytches on him. Threesome, orgies, all that.
-OGs giving him props
-crazy years of parties that only could be matched by celebs
-potential rap deals and endless clout on social media. Or even a promoter that is well respected.
-fashion game on point. Stays on top of the superficial scene.
-people giving him props as the gold standard of being a "real black man"
-if locked up, he will be remembered as a street legend, and if they come home, gets a whole 3 months of endless partying and financial gifts.

Now you see why young black men feel insulted and lonely for years on end when they pursue a path of legal and intellectual growth. Depression, neglect, and countless external and internal pressures By white society makes it all too easy to give up. By far the most disrespected demographic in America, bar none.

@mamba @Wear My Dawg's Hat

It’s easy to see why so many young brehs go that degenerate route. They still get praise, p*ssy and a sense of power in the culture.

Whereas brehs who actually do the right things in life have to earn those things in the community.

It’s backward.

If society were to collapse tomorrow and we as black people had the opportunity to reconstruct our own society, it wouldn't be 'hood nikkas' who'd have the know how to rebuild. They may be able to fight a few battles but when it comes to actual building, we'd rely on the black scholars, engineers, technicians, medical professionals etc etc.
This is why we have to honor and uphold hold brothers who have skillsets. They aren't corny or acting "white". They are quite literally the people who'd we be reliant on to nation build

That is society in general. Imagine if we put these "real nikkas" and thot bytches on an island filled with material to build a mini society....They would give up.
