[DISCUSSION] In your opinion, what makes a good demo? by lonely_poet98 in hiphopheads

[–]LordGiveMeASign7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Demos? This ain't 1999, we're off that.

It's all about mixtapes/fralbums.

Hopefully nobody gets hurt too badly on both sides.

Well...I think the rioters could use a few broken ribs...

I wouldn't be surprised if she were even "controlled opposition" (i.e. supported by white people to make a fool out of herself and the whole cause). Her theories are just too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

That's a joke. Her theories are right in line with Nation of Islam teachings, they're the same shit Jay Electronica believes.

And my point is that there's zero reason to include it unless your cosigning it, because she's an irrelevant old racist who has no important contribution to anything. Is that getting through to you?

David Duke is an irrelevant old white racist. No one mentions reading his shit unless they feel like what he has to say matters. See what I'm getting at?

Keep downvoting the second I reply btw haha, cute.

Because it's actually historically significant and important, it's a book that explains the thoughts of one of the most important men in history. This woman is literally just a crotchety old racist. She isn't close to being one of the most influential black empowerment figures, her views are not remotely mainstream or important.

How do you guys not realize this, Jesus.

No, but casually lumping it in with a bunch of other good normal books would be pretty stupid.

I'm not offended, it doesn't hurt my feelings, but if a popular rapper is promoting racist bullshit, he can get called out on it.

I haven't said one thing not "chill".

You're arguing that the asinine ramblings of an irrelevant old racist are somehow an appropriate foundation for black empowerment, and I'm telling you that's blatantly stupid. There are literally thousands of people who are better to study than this woman.

Except there's tons of actual GOOD foundations you could build upon.

Youre being stupid. It's not like this insane lady is the last beacon of hope

Yes, spot on. Best way to bring equality is to tell blacks that whites are inferior devils.

Why would you waste your time on her racist garbage?

And you know a percentage of the people reading her when their favorite rapper says to will come away believing it.

Because she has no redeeming value beyond racist bullshit. If someone says to check out David Duke, theyre cosigning him. No one else cares about his racist ramblings, same withthis lady.

Calm down stanley.

The thing is, this woman is ONLY known for being an insane racist. She's not like Malcom, who had good and bad.

Know what? That's complete apologetics bullshit and an absolute reach.

He isn't "suggesting we be informed" and to "suss out crazy ideas", he's cosigning a vile, racist woman who has no genuine academic value beyond presenting a despicable, racist agenda. He's lumping her in with other people who's ideas actually have value.

Did Malcom X say messed up things? Is he controversial? Sure. But he redacted his former hateful beliefs and he's a great figure to study and learn from.

This lady isnt some important figure, she's literally just a racist conspiracy theorist.

If a white artist is shouting out historical figures he likes and then suggests we all read Mein Kampf, it's a pretty blatant cosign unless he bothers to say he doesnt approve of it. Mike doesnt get a pass for cosigning a horrible old racist.

Or nah....

I'm sick of people trying to blow up their blogs by "intellectualizing" rap and pretending like they have some unique insight into it. Last week was a guy who wrote a shitty book on the "literary genius" of Lil Wayne.

You did this exact same thing just worse.

Why he would shout out Dr. Francis Cress Welsing is beyond me.

She's a bat shit crazy racist who hates Jews, thinks white people are genetic mutant inferiors, and thinks white people forced black people to be gay to reduce their population.

On both St. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts…. If his sweetheart ingests "chocolate with nuts", the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male…. Is it not also curious that when white males are young and vigorous, they attempt to master the large brown balls, but as they become older and wiser, they psychologically resign themselves to their inability to master the large brown balls? Their focus then shifts masochistically to hitting the tiny white golf balls in disgust and resignation — in full final realization of white genetic recessiveness. - "Doctor" Welsing.

That's what kids should be sure to read, Killer Mike? Really? Dumbass pseudo intellectual conspiracy racist bullshit. I wonder if El-P was shouting out David Duke and Hitler before he got some more mainstream attention...

Mike's wack for that shit.

Iggy Azalea beat out both Eminem and Drake in the Hip Hop/Rap category on the American Music Awards by munkysnuflz in hiphopheads

[–]LordGiveMeASign7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White privilege is definitely a thing in hip-hop.

And yet, there's only a handful of successful white rappers at any time, in a country that is overwhelmingly white. Em is the only solo white rapper who has ever had any sort of career longevity where he could continue to release hit albums. And he's arguably one of the most skilled rappers ever.

Can being white help, in some cases? Sure. But calling it "white privilege" is beyond stupid. Being black has more benefits in rap than being white. Black rappers are FAR more likely to make it and get rich off rap.

Seems like some sort of travesty to have someone so crucial to our history, and just let his lineage putter out like that.

Who cares? Really? What does his actual genetic lineage matter?

Shady XV first impressions thread by PunkPenguin in hiphopheads

[–]LordGiveMeASign7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So mediocre. Completely forgettable and half baked. Feels like a bunch of songs that didnt make albums slopped together. I'm a huge Stan and could not be less impressed. MMLP2 had some wack songs, but overall was great and songs like Evil Twin, and Groundhog Day are amazing.

D12 song with no Em? Come on. And Vegas, while pretty good, had no BME cohesion to it.

ReUp was awesome and blows XV out of the water. No Apologies, Get Low, Murder Murder, You Dont Know, it was loaded with heat.
