I've done all of that, without hating on other black people
You nikkas love to gaslight. AA never gave a shyt about ya’ll so why would we hate? You absorb our culture and the way we speak and dress. You nikkas give off jealous little brother syndrome.

Recognizing our own culture and contributions is hating now?

You new nikkas different…

What are you even saying here? Burna's a bigger artist - him jumping on the song will expose the guy that made the song to Burna's fanbase - again, the guy that made the song pushed for it - if Burna asks him to put the song on his album and he agrees to it it's because he weighed the pro and cons. How is this something to fault Burna for? What the fukk do yall even be talking about? :what:
How did that work for IloveMakonnen, Quintin Miller, Fetty Wap, Partynextdoor, Tinashe etc when Drake hopped on their tracks?? Are they big stars today or do the clubs only play drake's part on their tracks when they come on??

How did that work for Desiigner when Kanye jumped on Panda??

That "exposure" shyt is played out and DOESNT ACTUALLY EVEN HELP THE ARTIST IN THE LONG RUN. They just get their shyt taken and now everyone associates the song with the bigger artist

Lol @Giselle mad negging me for saying brehs are not Native America. What didn't I comprehend exactly? Duke in his comments talking about they never came from Africa. DNA don't lie. Stop the foolishness there was nothing to comprehend. He didn't say he was part Indian he said he was Indian and "they think everyone came off a boat"

Funny how this revisionist history became the wave and the people that spout it are usually the ones beefing in the diaspora hence. His problem with Burna. It's not about the dance it's about the friction.

All the people you named couldn't sustain their own careers. Terrible examples.

Nothing was taken. No they don't associate the song with the bigger artist. :duck:

They associate the artist with having short careers and maybe 1 hit besides Fetty. All the rest of em made nothing to match their one hit.

They left this clip out of the 1st Tweet. 9:17-9:45 Mama was showing out. Fela performed at the Berlin Jazz Festival in 1978.


What ados gonna say about this? Only black folks stupid enough to have the same genes and argue who did what first. nikka shyt x100

I am embarrassed by both sides. Burna for speaking on shyt he really don't know about and ados for just talking being ignorant as usual and not knowing African history and dance traditions.

Every dance been done before in this world. We are an old fukking race. Millions of years old. Nothing is new that we are doing dance wise.

These major artists only hop on the hottest songs by up and coming artists in order to stay relevant

You can't say this when friction is literally about giving a shyt. Let's stop lying. If people didn't care there would be no issues. It's not a Coincidence that Duke thinks he Indian not from Africa and is the one pressed about Burna dancing like him. He gives several shyts for identified reasons. He don't like Africans. Hence the whole "I'm tired of y'all"

Dudes watching African music finally get shine in modern times and they feeling a way. But K pop and reggaeton ate of Black American music effortlessly with minimum friction. Truthfully it's not hard to see who had a problem and why. Even the people who hate Hurk and the mention of any Jamaican or Puerto Rican involvement in the origin story of rap are the same posters who spar in the diaspora war. You think we are trying to take from you when we share some history. When they unearthed that video of Nigerians doing bboy moves in the 60's I didn't see no Nigerian say they copied us etc. Nobody said that bboys stole those moves. It's not hard to understand that humans have many times arrived at the same destination via different journeys.

I’m not arguing the origin of block parties :what:

The event was the 50th anniversary of hip hop and the specific date of origin is Kool Hercs party

Full stop. And there’s hundred of others from that day and this month. Understand now?

So I after last week i don’t wanna hear shyt about ‘oh nah it was from, uh, Pigmeat Markham’. Aight then holla at me when thousands of “ADOS” celebrate Pigmeat Markham day :beli:

:mjlol:

“his natural inclination was to be offensive”

you’re just trying to hold onto any narrative left that an african was badmouthing when he clearly wasn’t. he never implied that ba have no culture just that there’s a lack of a concrete tracing of roots present. he’s clearly speaking from a place of sympathy. it’s you who wants to be inclined to be offended because anything an african says on here is met with vitriol because of tariq nasheed brainwashing

You know what’s comical about this take right here is that A LOT of Africans from all over the continent do not even know where they are from either. Africans can claim their tribe and country but a lot didn’t even START in that country. Many migrated bc of drought, war, famine, etc. Unfortunately, there is NO written individual geneology far enough back in places like Nigeria and Ghana for example, or most countries south of the Sahara Desert, that could help ADOS actually find our “roots” in Africa bc Africans can’t either.

What’s gruesomely ironic is that ADOS have further traceable roots here, on American ground, bc slavers kept written track of the enslaved, even those in the Caribbean. To which family they were sold, sold to the next owner at what auction block, their age, sometimes what they looked like, the date, date of birth, date of death. These are things that have not been found in Africa in such detail, besides spoken “records” or maybe a totem etched with “some” stories about the tribe as wholes lineage on it. I think it is Ethiopia that has written geneology of some individuals.

If none of this is true why are so many Africans begging and bewildered online through Reddit and Quora why they only know their grandparents and few actually met their great grandparents. Many can’t trace their individual geneology further than the late 1880s. Meanwhile the Diaspora can even though the means by which is horrific.

I’ve come to realize this is nothing but projection. This sympathy should be reserved for themselves. Living in these countries, beating their chest over their culture and our lack thereof, meanwhile can’t trace their families individual lineage past their grandparents. It seems like people are latching onto a culture here that is very defined here bc quite frankly many Africans don’t know where the hell they individually come from.

You're not answering the question and neither is @K.O.N.Y
Wtf are ya'll gonna do aside from bytch about late night TV interviews?
Do you wanna pass a Congressional Break Dance Act or not?
I'm trying to provide an actual solution to the nonsense ya'll care about and it's "trolling" cause you know how stupid it is.

I think you are minimizing the entire criticism from ADOS. We have white people actively trying to erase our rich history. To add on top of that white supremacy, Africans, who “look like us” are doing the same. There are black ethnicities that don’t even have enough respect to recognize the culture of the people who made it possible for them to even be here.

It's actually quite sad, especially at a time when many Africans are starting to get their houses in order. They're (ADOS/FBA) hedging their bets on a dying empire.

So are we and that bothers y’all for some reason. There is a myriad of reasons to delineate Black Americans in this country. We need to be able to take count of what our true poverty levels, education levels, property values, population is. We can’t do that with a bunch of “high achieving” Africans skewing the numbers and being used as mode minorities.

I’m half ADOS half Ghanaian and was raised by both. RIP Papa. I too, on my mothers side, I can trace an ancestor off a boat to a Scottish family in Georgia from 1766. That’s pre American Independence. So I’ve been here before America the country even existed. My fathers side can’t even go that far except for the tribe itself and even then is somewhat murky. I’ve never hid it and because of that I’ve been privy to and know A LOT of the tricks being used to gaslight ADOS and berating us into silence.

I guess Africans don’t want to talk about lying about their age in college to fit in. Having old ass Nigerians who may have been doctors, accountants, politicians, scientist, privileged families sitting next to
ADOS children in college. Not all their credits transfer from a lot of the colleges in African so they have to go back to college again. It’s a breeze for them and then talk down to ADOS bc we didn’t get the head start like them.

I guess we don’t want to talk about Africans, many whom are coming here from privileged families, claiming they come from some small African village where there is no running water. To get accepted into college. So you got idiots walking around like, “ why can’t ADOS get their shyt together? These Africans came from mud huts!” And many Africans lean the fukk into that narrative.

How about Africans who apply for jobs and instead use their non-Anglican name so it’s very clear they aren’t ADOS.

Honestly I could keep going. It’s not even funny. A lot of Africans lean into the stereotypes bc it makes them look better and ADOS worse.

A lot of Africans are not being honest. You build relationships and trust through honesty. There is a dependence on the ignorance of ADOS about Africans who come here. People like me are here to keep ‘em honest:birdman:.

I've done all of that, without hating on other black people

The ADOS FOUNDATION is coming. We were berated for only being online and xenophobic. Look, we already have multiple chapters in multiple states. In fact I am in one. We’re building and recruiting right now. My chapter is closing in on 60.

On top of that, nonADOS are more than welcome and many are already participating, especially in the bigger ones. They just can’t lead. I love this portion of my duties bc I’m great at talking to people face to face and galvanizing. There are other steps afterward and forward but the primary focus right now is to get our participation and numbers up. Soon you will see us in HBCUs and in Black Student Unions. There are young people who listen to the show and who are in the Foundation. They are eager to recruit in their colleges. There are meticulous plans for that. This is not a race for us but a marathon.

We’re offline now and doing interviews and challenging local politicians who say they are for Black people but are all talk and no results. In fact you are welcome to join although we are vetting.

It takes time for a movement to actually manifest. We’re grassroots and not funded by any party or government. Antonio and Yvette have been told the Democrat Party is aware of us. They don’t know what to do with us either. We’re self interested and ADOS hasn’t been for a long time bc we mistakenly thought we had friends. Our funds come from other ADOS and nonADOD allies that believe in the mission.

Ultimately, Africans can’t lead in this country, they never had and they never will. We’ve done way too much here to give that up and follow a group of people who just got here, especially when the majority came in the 90s.

Over half of Black immigrants arrived in U.S. after 2000

Your cultures have always been tribal and exclusive but y’all don’t want ours to be.
this is why that whole

“b-b-but you Black Americans are xenophobic🥺

shit will always be hilarious. Bickering African tribal groups take turns practicing ethno(religious) genocide and have been fighting against each other since their European masters lifted their colonial boots slightly off their necks in the 50s and 60s

In fact, their countries are so ruined by tribal conflict that they are continuously trying to create new countries (like Biafra) just so they can practice despotism all over again.

but here they are trying to lecture us about being tribal. Sweep up around your own porch first


You left your house bc it was on fire and you couldnt put it out, but gon come over here and lecture us on fire safety. Its ridiculous.

I never said his sound wasn't unique. I stated that he incorporated African American music into his sound, specifically Jazz, Funk and R&B. I don't get upset by that. It is a form of flattery. My problem is when people don't know the root of a music.
I do agree with you on many things, especially the roots of music but a lot of this ain't new. Black folks are old as heck. We all are millions of years old. We dun done it all as Shawty Lo has stated. Black folks didn't just discover rhythm when we got enslaved.

I have often heard of "White people do it too"
This whole, "Africans do it too" is a new one.

I didn't read most of it but the top half is simply false. Maybe you just don't understand what you are trying to say but it's coming off like Burna where he trying to say one thing but it's coming off all wrong which is where I agree with Ados.
