  • THat ain't no freestyle Ninja! It's a written! dude is fake!. This is what happens when you're 40 years old, broke and have nothing to do. The only market that man knows is the supermarket he works at bagging groceries, i seen him at kroger saying paper or plastic. This might even be gyant himself, dude can't figure out what to do with his life so he jumps on different band wagons. Are you for or against hip-hop? For or against gangsta rap? The white ninja movement is for both, speak on what you know about, freedom of speech. White ninjas on the grind.

  • If you want to change the music first change the influences that helped create it. Just because Jeezy stops talkin bout blow or 50 stops talkin bout guns or Pimp c stops talkin bout hoes doesnt mean any of that shit is gonna go away. Fix the hood and you will see hip hop change aswell. Its easy to talk shitty about a life you dont live from the comfort of your desk chair or computer keyboard. If you aint out there livin it you aint needin to be speakin on it. I cant believe that black people are all up in fuckin arms cuyz an old ass white man aint know how to hide his racism well enough. I dont think it gets more coonish than every african american in the hip hop game jumpin up to please massa Imus.

    Buddy on the video said some real shit, but its just observation, if you cant bring jobs to the hood and a little bit of hope to those who dont have it you aint gonna see a change in hip-hop. Its like TIP said, you start from the top down, not the bottom up. We need to pressure those who have control over the black communities to hit us off with some bussiness opprotunities that dont involve postal scales. Until that happens yall cant quit yall bitchin.

    the problem is mentalities like yours dog

    waiting for a handout to make the hood better? why, you still want to be a slave?

    we gotta make the decision to make the hood better. These dudes aint rappin about the hood tellin stories of the struggle or what needs to be changed, they braggin about the shyt like its cool. plain and simple.

    If you think hip hop music is excused because some white people aint doin enough hand outs then get yo ass some chains and a cotton bucket and start pickin cuza thats exactly what you is.

    poverty is a mentality dog, and the only reason I made something out of myself despite a gang background and spending 15 years of my life in a public housing unit is because I (ME) decided that enough was enough.

    Personal responsibility is what mabny of yall are lackin.

    we gotta take responsibility for this shyt and stop blaming others for our sorry ass music and living conditions.


    hand outs from the government dont work dog, they could redevelop the hood today and give everyone jobs, but if a n1gg@ still want to a be a n1gg@ then in ten years its gona turn right back into a slum again.

    take responsibility and be a man dog. to many of yall shawties wanna blame white people, or "the system" when you got decisions you need to make.


    take personal responsibility.

    I co sign completely...like Big Pun said "Get ya own, ya own, ya heard!" Stop waiting for the white man to fix the hood and do it yourself. Start with you. If you dont like the jobs given to you, make your own job and start a business. Why when anyone kicks some knowledge he gotta be labeled as "old, bitter or bitching"? I'm 29 and have been making my own money, in my own business, my way, for over 9yrs. I learned at a young age, when older gods talk, listen. Dude in the video is right, "there is a market for ni@@as". The ghetto has a million stories but not everyone is about selling drugs, gun clappin, etc. Pac talked about the violence but also had songs that inspired hope. For that he was labeled contradictory but it was really balance.

    Hip-hop and its community need to "grow up" and diversify or you can continue to make "raps" for --Matt Herbz-- and the other white ninjas to relate to.

    I know my man "Dirty South D" didn't articulate his points clearly, but I don't think dude was saying we need a handout, but that he feels like there needs to be more opportunities created inside the community in order to really initiate change. Simply put, we don't really have enough options (hence the comment about working at the post office) for decent jobs. Its all fine and dandy to say, get out and do it by yourself, but part of the problem is that too many people aren't really allowed to live because they have to spend too much time surviving. Its hard to get up, go to school, get good and get good grades when you are 16 yrs old and the breadwinner for you household. There are plenty of kids who have what it takes to make it, but they don't for a number of reasons. They don't have the resources, the parents aren't around and they are helping raise the other children in the household, or they're working to help support the household. I agree that we don't need a handout, but these problems will persist if we don't change some of the basic things in our communities.

    Sex, drugs, and violence have always been around especially in the hood but it is only in this time period has music overwhelmingly been unbalanced in its story telling. Arguably, it was worse in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's for minorities and the hood than it is today. Crack, the worse drug epidemic to ever hit the hood, ran rampant in the 80's, but there was still balance. Different artists, different stories, same level platform. Change begins with the storyteller. If you have more, you experience more, you know more.

Pac came out doin his thang back in the day hollin thug life and these ignant niggas misunderstood the nigga - he was tryin to connect the struggle wit this gangsta shit and erbody went to far - when he came out of jail he did eyez on me and lost the political side - he went 6 or 7 times platinum and since then every nigga been tryin to recreate that shit! Go back before that and there were all types of different styles out there & after that erbody gangsta. Not sayin its Pac s fault but cats lost originality after he died cause they all want to take that spot of the ultimate thug rapper- wanted by the ladies and respect by the hood! Then

    Im still laughin.

    I immediately thought about TI, and bow wow takin they shirts off. Dudes lookin like turkey breasts with tattoos.

  • I think yall got me twisted. I wasnt sayin we need a handout. I was sayin, next time you feel like ya nuts real bg, hop in the car, got hit mlk, turn on west lake, ride on down to simpsom and make that right. Drive all the way down simpson, turn right on ashby, and come back to mlk. Show me where its any fuckin place for a mufuka to work. All you have is mom and pop stores and a couple of arabian gas stations. Aint shit left but traps. You people aint realizin that aint nowhere to work in the hood, and you dont need an application to work on the corner.

  • April 26, 2007 6:08 PM
  • Dyslexick says...
  • Then get yo azz out of that hood and take bus, plane, train, taxi to where there is some jobs, better yet get yo grades up in school and let them suckas beg fo yo azz somewhere, then after you get the dough together, start a company and come back to the hood and open up shop and provide jobs.

    sellin dope cause thats all you now is the easy way for suckas with no imagination and no fuxxing drive or ambition.

    hip hop music that glamorizes the dope boy lifestyle only serves as a pain releiver for the people doing it so that they can feel cool for doing something they know is well below their potential as a human fuxxing being.

    like I said, change starts with you not them

  • April 26, 2007 6:22 PM

  • I guess you could say car salesmen have no drive or ambition, or people who own retail stores, or even gas stations. You do the best you can with the resources given. Whether its buyin cars for the low, and sellin em for the high, or buyin dro for the low, and sellin it for the high. Aint no mufukin difference. More people die from driving than they do from smokin, so please homie, your comparison is ass.

    You sound like you would be happy to work 40 hours a week for 5.25 a hour to help make anutha mufuka a stack an hour. Shit dont make sense, to me, and to alot of people. Everybody aint afforded the opprotunity to break out the hood, good intentions or not.

    The whole fuckin point is, Imus is doing a good job aswell as white america of silencing the negative things about the hood they would rather not be reminded of. Out of sight out of mind. They dont want to hear about the fucked up shit that goes on, point blank period. thewy just expect us to fix it since its "our" problem.

  • They recruited ten of us in third grade. Made one of us the leader in fifth grade. Fifteen years later, its only four of us alive and walking the streets. One is a crackhead.

    Dirty South D, I am from that neighborhood you speak of brother. Dyslexick didnot make sense because you did not want his point to make sense. That would mean that you would have to take responsibility and take that hustler's mentality into a classroom and learn how to make it legally productive. Thats too much work. You see, I moved out of my trap two years ago, but I am back there everyday. Initially, I felt there just weren't enough opportunities out here but at twenty four, I own a stake in a business and three properties. I have a degree and a nice legitimate yearly income. Why am I the only person with this? Why is it when I am motivating others to grind towards their dreams, they make the same lazy excuses that you make brother. As far as business, I learned from a friend, not to open a business back in my hood. He opened a dollar store and had disrespectful little idiots who loitered, littered, and stole. After being robbed three times, he finally closed down. If all you "doe boys" do not respect your own damn neighborhood, why show anyone feel that they should build a business? Just my thoughts bro. Give me one day, I am sure I can find at least five jobs in your vicinity, the question is, will you apply?

    Co-sign my dude

    Dirty South D,
    I hear what ur sayin, but the bottom line is the same thing I tell my kids "make it happen". At the end of the day, you either do or you don't. The black community needs to adopt that mindset. No one cares what challenges you have, the problems you face, or what type of resources you got. It's either you "make it happen" or you don't. You want to learn about something, don't wait for someone to come by and teach you...get yo ass down to the "public library" and pick up a book or use the free internet. "We" are the only ones waiting for a handout that's not comming. While, "immigrants" come here everyday and accomplish more in 5yrs with little to no English than most cats in the hood do in a lifetime. By the way, this is one of the few, if not only, country you can do that. A dollar and a dream, shouldnt that be enough?

  • I think Mosdef said it best on his "Black on Both Sides" album.

    Basically he said that if you want to know where hiphop is going...you have to ask where are we going? Hiphop represents the people...So if the people are doing well, then the music will reflect that. Same thing applies when things are bad.

    When the projects/streets/people in general start looking at life beyond the violence, sex, and drugs..then hiphop will move beyond that too.
