    Lol I don't understand it. I can't see anyone getting upset from changing nigga to n*gga.
    Yeah but if it’s a Black site why should you have to? If it’s culturally in tune then it should know that nigga is common parlance. Even the major B1 personalities say it.

    What a damn shame Marcel got attacked for this tweet for calling out Kendrick Lamar.

    And by a lot of supposed pro-Black people no less. Professor was right. Too many Black people don't handle entertainment very well.
    They are not B1 as an ideology, it’s entertainment to them. That’s why these same people can listen to Kevin Samuels who cooned it up on a nightly basis but then turn around and pretend to be down with B1. If a guy telling you to ignore racism isn’t a red flag then you’re not B1.

    It has also bothered me a lot that videos put out by the new Black media about Kevin Samuels dying got way more views than the videos about the Deadly Buffalo, NY Terrorist Attack. I just....

    I mean look at this shit.
    Explain this shit to me:

    Gee, is gender warring that important in the Black community than our freaking survival, power, and prosperity?

    Smh.

    Some are predicting that 2/3 of Black people won't make it at this rate.

    People just like drama which is why tv is filled with reality TV with nothing but drama. It sells in this country and we are unfortunately subject to it.

    The Buffalo Terrorist Attack is a much more severe form of drama IRL though just like 9/11 and other terrorist attacks and mass shootings. I guess gossip about Kevin Samuels and gender warring is more fun than discussing anti-Black racist attacks on our people and how to protect ourselves.

    Yes but it makes people have to think of their predicament which they don’t want to do hence why they focus on the drama on TV. Look at UK versus US reality TV, the US versions are all about drama.

    I'm sorry for using the F word Brother Jay. I don't want to be labeled a problem.
    It's ok. Just be mindful, we can be every bit as uncompromising without using words like that. Especially when some of our B1 brothers and sisters are gay or lesbian and we should not alienate them. You're a great poster so you're all good.

    Brilliant to re-record it live for more realness however, the girl was way more emotional on the original. I guess there's no way she could have recreated how she was cry-rapping while walking around
    I noticed that, too. Her voice in the video was cool, but she she sounded like she was about to pour bleach on all Kendrick's clothes on the album version.

    Liberal White people are going to hold this up as an epic work of hard showing the black struggle.
    Idk, I think that's the black version of every couples struggles of any race. At the end of the day they were just talking shit to each other, it wasn't violent or anything

    We’ve lost Kendrick, he’s gone.
    What happened? I refuse to watch the video.

    I thought they already did all of this with To Pimp a Butterfly.

    My circle and I don't use perjoratives slurs for gays or blacks or anyone (Mexicans, Women). I have put written a "n*gga" on here but will try to stop that because frankly, I don't use it regularly.

    Anyway, I have never listened much to KL and its not because I don't like him. I just never got around to it strangely enough. I've heard his music on award shows, etc.

    I did some research and it said that his wiki page said
    "In March 2012, MTV announced that Lamar had signed a deal with Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment, marking the end of his career as an independent artist."

    So, that may explain the problems Jay and Marcel has with his music. The label dictates what can go on an album at the end of the day. You give up part of your soul for the bag. That's always been the way in music. You can kill as many black men as you want in rap but you can't kill a white man. How many songs out there where a white person is killed? I can't think of more than 3 or 4 tops. Not saying there aren't more but you can't. Someone famous, maybe Jay Z, don't recall, had to remove a line about killing a white label exec for not having his royalty check.


    Kool G Rap had a rap about stealing from the Italian mafia and killing them at the end. Anyone else think of any? Eminem can kill white people, but 50 Cent can't.

    Anyway, my guess is the rainbow inclusion in Kendrick Lamar is either the label making him do it or you are so far in the industry that you meet so many its normalized. There has always been artists we didn't care what they did in their private lives (Luther Vandross, Little Richard, Prince marketed himself as maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, everyone early on assumed Queen Latifah liked ladies.). It's always been, you make good music and we don't care. All the aforementioned are well liked. My co-favorite 60s civil rights activist is James Baldwin. You are for black folks or true to the community, we let you be you in private.

    That said, the imagery on the video is great though. Gotta admit the Nipsey thing is surreal and is an emotional trigger.
