    How you know he is paying homage to the NBM? Ice Cube doesn’t focus on that jive shit that nigga went straight to Gavin Newsom and put pressure on him to get the CA Reparations Task Force approved.

    Nobody was saying cut the check before TBA or PBT. They coined that phrase years ago. Way before Cube went to Noosem. Where do you think Cube got his talking points from? Why are you bothered by that?

    Revolution_2 people have been using the term "Cut the Check" before any of those two start podcasting. There's an entry in Urban Dictionary from all the way back in 2005:


    These guys didn't invent the reparations conversation by any means. While they did help popularize it, to subscribe things that have no connection to them is a bit much.

    It's like when people say that FBA is helping push Reparations in CA when no one a part of it calls themselves FBA. It's the definition of "tethering" onto something.

    Ice Cube been pro-Black and about getting what's ours since NWA...he doesn't need a Jason Black for talking points.

    I never said they invented it, only that the phrase became a catch phrase for the current reparations push. I was listening to Cube since the beginning, so I know he's always had a political mind. Cube using that phrase was not because he read it in some urban dictionary, it's because he's in tune with NBM. He brought in experts on reparations like ADOS, Dr. Claud Anderson, Dr. Boyce Watkins (to name a few) when he worked on his Contract for Black America. He even stated that he needed those experts to help him craft that document. You act like dude is in a bubble and doesn't keep his ears to the streets. You can downplay and believe what you want but real is real!

    Listen to this track and pay close attention to the lyrics from royalty! All 4 killed this track but Cube put the icing on it! He put in #cuthecheck... "Who give a f... If they like us" in homage to TBA and PBT and the new black media! ✊🏿✊🏿🖖🏿🖖🏿
    Such a sick ass group thanks for sharing this man. Cube has been a rider and has helped a lot in CA.

    Only one of those entities you named even associates with the New Black Media and that's Boyce Watkins. Do you know how much he contributed? I'm not trying to go at your neck but Ice Cube is the real deal and we can't just be attributed his work to niggas that make podcasts with flimsy evidence. Once again it's like when people say that FBA is pushing reparations in CA but when you truly know what is going on it's the FBA people calling up saying the retarded shit like WE IZ INDIANS.

    To clarify your statement about only Dr. Boyce being affiliated with NBM, Dr. Watkins has Dr. Anderson on his podcast at least once a week. I've seen Vicki Dillard and others in the NBM interview him multiple times. He is a staple in the NBM community. His book Powernomics is the bible on financial literacy. Yvette and Tone worked directly with Ice Cube and Dr. Anderson so your argument is not in good faith.

    WE IZ NOT INDIANS but we are the first people to settle this land!
