Guess Oprah's Monday sports guest ...

You need to stop commenting in threads that you are CLUELESS about. Maya Angelou was in both segments of the show - IDIOT!

Day two was nothing more than the rappers deflecting the blame. They were clueless. The Spelman Gals and Stanley couch stole the show. Jason Whitlock couldn't get a word in edgewise - Oprah ignored him.

 

Mya Angelou, who teaches at Tech, will be part of the services this afternoon.

 

The problem was it took weeks and Oprah to hear from her. Why is she not one of the first voices we hear and not wait weeks.

I don't watch Oprah.

 

I thought she taught at Wake Forest?

 

yeah, some faux-jiggy shit, some dance shit.
you said he's a studio gangster. it's right there.
if use the words, stand behind them.
point is, you don't know shit.

 

whether they're real thugs/gangstas rapping about being thugs/gangstas, or "studio thugs/gangstas" rapping about it, it doesn't make a difference: they're all perpetuating this image that is ruining the stereotype of black men. ... And that's where Whitlock is absolutely right. What they're doing is 10,000 x worse than what Imus said.

 

From "Bigger & Blacker" in 1999 ...

Chris Rock: [On the US school shootings] Everybody is wanting to know what music were the kids listening to, or what movies were they watching. Who gives a fuck what they was watching! Whatever happened to crazy? What, you can't be crazy no more? Should we eliminate crazy from the dictionary?

 

The corporate execs that ex halt those MC's and the lack of African American representation in media circles have more to do with the damaging image of black men.

those MC's wouldn't have the platform they do without their help.
The African American community and their consumption of hip hop didn't move the 50 Cents of the world from mixtape obscurity to platinum selling artist.

some of you need to do yourselves a favor and buy "Hip hop is dead" by Nas. In case you didn't know, alot of African Americans dislike the amount of trash that fills the airwaves too.

 

lol. I'm sorry. Russell Simmons, P-Diddy, Dr. Dre. Arguably the heaviest of promoters/corp. execs when it comes to rap that's released today. And even on Oprah right now, Russell Simmons absolutely refuses to address Oprah's questions.

PS - I got Hip Hop Is Dead. I don't dispute that Nas has good messages on the album.

 

this is hysterical! simmons sounds just like imus: but look at all the good i'm doing!

as long as you're making money off it, you can rationalize anything. no matter your color.

 

yes, the but difference is Nas is NOT rapping about that kinda stuff.
so leave his name out of it.

 

Ding ding ding
That attorney knows what he's talkin' about.
