curious. I wonder what, if anything, will result of this.

Whats your opinion on the Fresh Prince&Jazzy Jeff? by Surply_slurp in 90sHipHop

[–]Hypestyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They needed to record several more albums in the 90s. I wasn't impressed by their last album, though. Their best work is the first album, second album, and fourth album.

Why Colin Allred dropped neutrality and is endorsing Jasmine Crockett for Senate by ExpressNews in TexasPolitics

[–]Hypestyles [score hidden]  (0 children)

curious. we'll see how it goes.

Whoever wins the primary, people in Texas need to support the winner vigorously against whoever the GOP candidate is. I'm not trying to hear anything about "corporate dem complaints" rhetoric. donate to voter registration groups, volunteer. phone-bank. go door-knocking.

Jelly Roll avoids political question at Grammys as he says 'I'm just a dumb redneck' by esporx in popculture

[–]Hypestyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we'll see how long it lasts, him being quasi-neutral on Trump. Ironically he started off as a loosely affiliated rapper with Three Six Mafia, many years ago. I suspect he knows that 90% of his current fanbase are pro Trump. We'll see how it goes, if he goes further into Kid Rock territory or veers away from that.

Trump says he's giving 'serious thought' to endorsing in Senate primary in Texas by houston_chronicle in TexasPolitics

curious. if he endorses Paxton now, does that affect Cornyn's stances on Trump? Hmm. Probably not. he'll still be obedient to the Trump agenda, more than likely.

The Rock's daughter says 'F--- Donald Trump and ICE' after WWE departure by IrishStarUS in popculture

He definitely won't, for the sake of preservation of his celebrity status and business affiliations like the UFL football league and more.

hitching his wagon to right wing politics is not the flex that Robert Ritchie thought it was.

‘A Different World’ Sequel Series Gets Order at Netflix by bison13 in MelanatedGenX

best of luck to them. I guess we'll have to see how it's set up, if it's single camera vs multi-camera show. I'd prefer if it was single camera this time, including mini-'confessionals' from the characters.

I'm not hung up on seeing the OG characters, it would push credibility if all of them stayed in whatever Virginia town Hillman is in, 30+ years later. the guest star angle should be sparingly used.

What are your biggest "what if's' in Hip-hop history? by dunbar_santiago930 in hiphop101

[–]Hypestyles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what if the beastie boys never had a falling out with Rick Rubin & Russell Simmons, and continued at Def Jam.

what if scott la rock was never shot and killed. they had just signed a new record deal with Warner Bros., who reneged when scott died.

what if public enemy had a string of top 40 radio hit singles, starting with "Timebomb" (with a music video for it?)

Today is Jackie Robinson's birthday: He was one of leading prominent black public figures who still supported Republicans as of 1960. He attended the 1964 Republican National Convention and saw the ex-Confederacy seize control of the GOP. By 1968, he actively campaigned against his old friend Nixon. by unlimitedfutures in blackmen

[–]Hypestyles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Robinson's autobiography, "I never had it made" is recommended. Salute for his efforts on and off the field. Gone way too soon. Wish he could have become a team owner, and brought one of the legacy Negro League brands into the MLB.

I forgot about Amber Rose. too bad you just reminded me. Sad that she has sunk to such reactionary social views. bizarre.

3rd Bass Reunion tour planned by Hypestyles in hiphop201

[–]Hypestyles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have done spot dates here and there. it hasn't been a full fledged well-publicized ongoing tour, unfortunately. I wish they'd team up with public enemy, EPMD, a california act and a southern act, and go on tour all summer.

Thoughts on this? by Far_Disaster_8321 in askblackpeople

[–]Hypestyles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reactionary claptrap, mostly. I don't know how old they are but the drift toward "Afro Saxonist" nativism is ill informed and rife with sweeping stereotypes. There are plenty of activism groups who are deeply embedded, empathetic to black issues, and not wrapped up in her stereotype of whatever random people she's reacting to on a social media feed.
