That’s exactly the point I was making.

Secondly, are you saying what I’m saying that foreign entities created/kept the records NOT the Africans. Which goes right back to what I said. Africans DID NOT keep specific family genology. Only for chieftans, special historic events like a comet, wars, scientific manuscripts in Aribic from Timbuktu but NOT individual lineage.

That is why ADOS can’t trace their specific familial heritage to one family family in Africa, Most Africand didn’t keep nor create manuscript of their line.

How is it that the top 10 verifiable oldest family lines, only one is African and it’s Ethiopian? The House of Solomon Ethiopia. Africans were on this planet alone for a long time and there is no historical record going as far back as Confucius line which is like 5000 years old. In China the random fisherman from hundreds of years ago has a written document of his family tree.
Honestly, you can trace to families. You have Ados posters on here that reached out to relatives in Nigeria from 23andMe. DNA testing can trace as long as you have them doing the same tests in African nations

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.
breh with all due respect

your particular group is not relevant to any of this. You are east african...kenyan.....kenyan-canadian none of those things have anything to do with anything here

I think that’s great. Thanks white people for doing what my Africans ancestors did not. I’m out.

Read what you quoted again. I made a reference to diaspora war and how every non-fba is framed collectively. I never claimed part of your culture. This is a continuation of that. The energy is the same wether it's directed at Jamaicans or Nigerians.

Where did he said "Black Americans don't have culture" ever? putting words in his mouth. Dude was saying Black Americans should use Africa as a base like Asians and Latins use their backgrounds as a base. It's scary that Pan-Africanism would never survive for the new generation.

What does any of this have anything to do with Burna? If the artist that made the song pursues him for a feature and agrees to let Burna put it on his album, is Burna supposed to say "no, I'm not gon give you a feature because it's bad for you long-term!" :what: are you nikkas retarded?

The onus is on the dude that made the song to look out for his best interests - again, it's his song so he should weigh the pros and cons; exposure and associated revenue (royalties) VS your song being associated with someone else.

Use your fukking braincells for a moment before getting on here babbling. Talking to guys sometimes feels like being on the shortbus

"I heard he jacked that Talibans song from the original artist and put it on his own album" :dahell:
First of all, just because major artist asks you to inject their album with your hit, that doesn't mean that you have to do it

Second of all, post post proof that the original artists even asked for that shyt in the first place

Thirdly, whenever a new artist gets dikked around in the music industry, everyone asks why they were never educated on making the correct movements IN THE MOMENT, yet here I am posting HARD EVIDENCE that giving major artists your first hit DOES NOT WORK IN FAVOR OF THE LESSER ARTIST which means dude shouldnt be so quick to give his song up, and for some reason you're deep in your feelings like you're a part of burna boy's street team.

Serious question though, why are you so furious about this topic??

Burna boy doesn't need Talibans on his album. He'll be fine without it. He just wants the majority of the afrobeats marketshare to be associated with him. It's a business move. He's not trying to help anyone out

Oh and another thing…

You know the ADOS division is deeply rooted in self hate and insecurity bc it overwhelmingly focuses on Africans.

So Burna boy is appropriating black culture but you was a church mouse for decades— and to this day—- with Biggie, Busta, Tony Yayo, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, shyt Doug E Fresh, I could go on forever. Hell even fukin Fat Joe :scust:

Oh but now you got a problem. Please.
What does this post even mean

Please try again and turn this gibberish into something coherent

Yes that's the only accurate thing you said. The rest of that stuff about their songs now being identified with the major artist and all that wasn't true. Again most of those guys couldn't make other hits. Migos had more juice after Versace. It's not on Drake or any other major artist that those other people don't continue to generate the same quality output. And Quentin miller was in the background don't know why he was mentioned there. We literally watched people pretend they didn't understand why he was a writer. Nobody held him back nobody Black balled him. He was not a good artist just a good with the pen, we saw that when he got the light and put his voice behind his own lyrics. He exposed his meal ticket and didn't get much more work as a writer after so who's he to blame?

You putting the onus on the wrong people. Majority of artists do not have long careers. To even have a major hit is a major accomplishment. Desiigner was given studio time and budgets with Mike Dean and made a whole forgettable album. He's since been in the studio with swizz and made singles that went nowhere. You still blaming Kanye? That's weird
Quentin miller literally said Drake and meek both black balled him in an IG live after the incident where MEEK exposed him

Migos and Future were already nuclear when Drake decided to ride their wave. They would be be exactly where they are now without Drake

All I said was that desiigners biggest song is now and forever associated with Kanye west, just like the other artists I named songs are now and forever accociated with Drake. That IS the fault of those lesser artists

I never blamed Drake/Kanye for their career trajectories(besides Quentin miller) but if you can't go to a club and play your only hit without people asking you to play the "Drake" version then I can't see how anyone thinks the lesser artist somehow "came up"

So "akata", "jareer", "kaffir", "mayate", "yankee", etc. are just figments of our imaginations, right?

This such a sad post. Yes, those terms are real. They are coloqialisms that exist in almost every country for Americans. To get so butt hurt over it and let it validate a hate for an entire continent? Yea shows a deep level of insecurity which again is pretty sad.

I’m pretty sure white dudes ain’t :sadcam: at being called gringo or yankee.

It’d be like black women waging war on all black men bc some use the word bytch. Or black men hating other black men bc some say/are ‘c00n’, or ‘thug’. Both scenarios would be insecure and counterproductive it’d be terrible if “ADOS” had that mindset….oh, wait :beli:
