Keeping it real for the black fan base while remaining non-threatenening for the whitey.

We can't let other black folks know that we're intelligent, or can actually read.

 

[Dr Tactics]

Everything but the mandingo fight. You will get your ass kilt for that.

And the Mandingo fight wasn't meant for laughs also Mandingo fighting while factually not accurate made a statement about the brutality of slavery as a whole..

This is a long answer..

First Hip Hop is a full culture consisting of
Dancing (Break)
DJing
Mc's (Rappers)
Graffiti(art)

from a rapping stand point..

Diverse hip hop has to be search for Via Podcasts and the like. Terrestrial radio (Local Radio) and Videos are corporate controlled so they put out what they think (or what they want) you to hear. So bottom line is money. If the masses put more money into buy and supporting a Slum Village album then a 2Chains album then More Hip Hop Music

From a DJ stand point

The true Hip Hop DJ uses Turntables. Though CDJ's are usually accepted the art form of Scratching is best performed on turntables. Those who were the best at DJing (Jazzy Jeff, Roc RaidaR.I.P, DJ Premier, Etc) practiced ans mastered the artform of scratching, mixing and crowd rocking. The problem is that due to technological advances in equipment that the DJ can now DJ using a App on a I-Pad which turns the DJ into a Jukebox.. As long as the DMC competition is still in effect then a aspect of the real DJ will live on..

From A Dance Standpoint..

Theres always gonna be urban dance styles but these days dances come from song videos? The Dougie, The Cat Daddy, and the list goes on. Break Dancing is more popular outside of the US then within. One again if you want it you have to search for it

And From Graffiti

Still once again you have to search for it but I has to a certain degree been accepted into the mainstream Art community which is good. That artform is no longer just on trains and walls and those artists can not put it on a canvas which IMO is a step up.

So thats what happened to Hip Hop. You have to look for it. Its underground just like it was when it first started in the Bronx in the 70's by the Honorable Afrika Bambatta.

Don't comprehend.. Full Figured women have no problem in the dating scene in my hood so she was mad about something else...If she was ever mad... Which she never was, so....

I don't comprehend..

Maybe "mad" was not a specific enough word. Stung, hurt, jealous, frustrated... pick one, or a combination of two or more, of those words and it could apply.

Because she's an annoying self-entitled b***h.

Still has nothing to do with male neglect as she and those with her body size and stature have no problems in finding a man that wants to date them. Now any negative emotions are maybe from the whole dating game which in the that the frustrations won't be racial (social class) specific as all humans (at least in the US) deal with companion issues

You should stop wearing your Starfleet uniform in public. Or at least wear it without the Spock ears.

There is still some good rap music out there if you look.
Don't let that david guetta eurotrash rap pop on the radio let you think hip hop is dead

You know they are really scared of you when they cross the street to get away from you

Speaking of which there is this black British actor called Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who has this urban London accent when he plays characters on tv but sounds posh and dresses preppy off camera.

Just telling it like it is. She's being horribly racist and holding people accountable for what their ancestors did. She's essentially saying that a black man should date black women only because their ancestors went through slavery together. What kind of reasoning is that? She's bitter and angry and all it comes off of is bitter and angry. But it's allowed in Essence magazine because Essence magazine is incredibly hypocritical in it's pandering towards African American women. If her "soul burns" if she sees me with woman of another race, too bad.

She'd be more truthful in saying she just wants man instead of making up BS and playing the slavery card.

Dear Brotha,

This has probably been asked a million times by clueless white men like myself who grew up in mostly white populated places, but is it at any point okay for a slightly tanned white man to drop that big N bomb if the person it's aimmed at is in fact acting very much out of line? And I mean the N bomb with the -a tail end, not the dreaded -er, by the way.

Sincerely,

[Erzengel]

I want to add....if Samuel L. Jackson tells you to say the n word. You drop the n word.

 

[RockSP]

And I mean the N bomb with the -a tail end, not the dreaded -er, by the way.

Same word.

 

[Number 6]

Same word.

Is it? I always thought the -a tail was more like...friendly aggressive. Like saying, "Hey, bro, that's enough" in an anger tone as opposed to shouting "Hey, di*k, that's enough."

I want to add....if Samuel L. Jackson tells you to say the n word. You drop the n word.

Of course, of course, goes without saying.
