If he's performing for the Super Bowl he's not getting paid. The NFL doesn't pay performers. There lodging is taken care of and expenses but they don't get paid. He sold out to stay in a nice hotel?
dude took the gig for relevancy and probably hopes it’ll lead to other/future shit
Performing what exactly?!?!?Which is why the NFL doesn't pay people to perform. They figure this is live advertisement in front of 30 million people. We ain't paying you to promote yourself
Niggas get money and suddenly everything in the world is ok with them. Same way when niggas get some pussy too.
He’s been living with lil dude with a big head syndrome for a long time. I’d thump that nigga in his forehead and dare him to do something about it.
Peace,
No he didn’t. That’s just another Uncle Tom talking point that sellouts are fond of regurgitating. No other group that unilaterally seeks to protect itself from outside aggression is referred to as a monolith. Just us. Why do you suppose that is?
Wait so cardi B who just started getting money turned it down but a well established nigga like JD took it.......
I’d think it would be the other way around
We're not a monolith no group is. We can't even decide what the black agenda is to further show how much of a non monolith we are. If we were a monolith many of our biggest issues would have been solved long ago.
Can a company that hires and makes its money on a predominately black work force an anti-black institution?Peace,
???
Not sure what you’re talking about because I certainly never argued that we were a monolith but do we need to decide on a “black agenda” to collectively refrain from supporting anti-black institutions?
...lil cricket bald headed ass...
Yes.Can a company that hires and makes its money on a predominately black work force an anti-black institution?
If that makes you sleep better at nightlet the faux rage begin....
who cares really?
riddle me this....im supposed to get mad now....when the nfl that is 85% black STILL has those same black players on the field EVERY DAMN WEEK....because JD helps with the superbowl....
the problem is with too many of us think black consciousness is a monolith....its not
theres ~50 million of us....we dont all think alike....
and im tired of people telling me how to be black
and i dont even like football...bullshyt should be banned
Well Boycotts and marches dont work while he lives in a part of Atlanta that 50 years ago he would have been lynched in no matter how much money he had. The lack of historical context and even simple understanding that what you have now others had to fight for you to get it. Yes he would have been a rich entertainer back in the 40s and 50s but his black ass would have to walk in the back door, he would not be able to go to the best hotels and his living arrangements in the South (hell all over the country) would have been limited without marches and boycotts. Sad part I cant even say these "New Negroes" to his old ass, he should know better.
Just say I am a mercenary and call it day but don't say boycotts and marches don't work.
He pretty much is. It ain't just him saying it. If music is a mainstay of ATLs economy, he is a MAJOR part of that.Did this ninja just call himself the unauthorized mayor of Atlanta?

Man. I reeeeeeaaaaally don't keep up with that midget. And I could really care less. I just don't. Sorry.He pretty much is. It ain't just him saying it. If music is a mainstay of ATLs economy, he is a MAJOR part of that.
Sosodef, ushers biggest record, Mariah Carey, the list goes on.
And he's right. I been telling y'all that for the longest. These boycotts are stupid, ineffective, and counter productive. Shit, they're not even boycotts. NONE OF THEM. H&m is still doing well. NFL is doing well. Starbucks popping- even the location that the shit started from. .
All this shit is social media fronting.
And remember when it was announced last year when they said the Superbowl was gonna be in ATL? IMMEDIATELY, people started wanting Black Atlanta artists to be the halftime show. This was right after Jay Z got all them props for supposedly saying no. Then when they announced who it was gonna be, folks got MAD. THEN ya see Rihanna announce "they asked me I just said no"
Lol people are so gullible and have the shortest memory ever. Cuz it's all social media stunts.
Go to the games. Tons of Black folks. Look at the field. Tons of Black folks. Not kneeling. Go to any sports bar in any city when a game is on. We there. LOOK AT THIS BOARD WHEN GAMES ARE ON.
You ain't gonna fix police brutality kneeling at a fucking game. Cut it out.
You want the football players, the entertainers, to not take advantage of huge economic activity and opportunity when 5 of you are not watching but still keeping up with scores and your fantasy league. And still buying Kaeprnicks expensive ass "sacrifice" shirts. Get the fuck outta here. JD is supposed to front like these Instagram activists?
And I'm not even a football fan lol.
If that makes you sleep better at night

I just noticed he said "use the platform to say what you wanna say"I'm pretty sure he weighed both sides before he came up with his decision and felt this was the best decision for him, let's see how it plays out. Or is this just more fake outrage? It will be interesting to see who he gets to actually perform at these concerts and what the backlash will be behind that.
Man. I reeeeeeaaaaally don't keep up with that midget. And I could really care less. I just don't. Sorry.
Actually i understand that. Cardi just making money and her fanbase is more black people .Wait so cardi B who just started getting money turned it down but a well established nigga like JD took it.......

You do know it's a NFL thread on this board that is many pages long and counting right? Black people on this board still follows the sport and watches it every sunday and whatever other days it comes on and still buy NFL merchandise.Peace,
I see all of the resident Sambos are in here tap dancing like usual.
And unfortunately for me, 0% of what you spent your keystrokes on I gives no fuck about. None. Nada. Zilch.Fortunately he's never depended on YOU keeping up with him to make bread. I'm not even a huge fan of dude, but at this point anyone denying his work in bringing the Atlanta music scene where it is, and the influence he has from the streets to boardrooms, city and state government , is delusional. Dudes legend is set. That's just truth.
wait, are you trying to tell me what someone wrote on a message board has no effect on a man's real life? Wow, we're breaking ground here now. You finally get it.And unfortunately for me, 0% of what you spent your keystrokes on I gives no fuck about. None. Nada. Zilch.
