I'm tired of redbones
I forgot all about this thread.
Now that BGOL is open to Google searches a few people might need to clean up some past statements.
Rap music is the main reason for the lack of promotion of other forms African American art....
So cheaply made and packaged, easily digested and discarded never to be remembered, it easily trumps something that takes training and a formal skill set...
If only for how little need be invested to make a profit...
As much as we all love hiphop, I myself grew up on that nineties boom bap ish, we have to admit that a lot of talentless hacks were able to muscle away an already small dollar percentage per capita for black performers leaving very little necessity to nurture alternative black musicians & artists.
When was the last time an artist like Savion Glover has been seen in the mainstream, he dont sing and he dont "dance" as such or even Robert Glasper same thing, they are both formally trained artists, why not them and droves of other clasically trained black talent, as opposed to "xyz" street poet of the street, who has next to no skills tecnically speaking, but a boatload of "swag"...lol..i mean no disrespect to Kendrick and any of his bgol fans but if the industry could make a star out of him, then surely it should/should've been able by know, to turn Robert Glasper into the same star by now, Gary Clarke Jr., who if anybody should be a superstar by now.
The problem with these artists imo, is music like this requires a certain amount of heavy lifting financially speaking, and again why do that if you can satisfy the masses for cheaper product with a higher return, sound financial practise, fucked up as it is.
To me this rap shit has officially tanked, too much white, "corporate" folks have taken a direct financial interest in it and we've veered to far from indepence, not too mention that the art of actually rappin to a beat in a certain time frame and rythm is pretty much a dead artform.
Fuck that. I stand by my shit. If I said that shit I meant it at the time. I might still feel that way or I may have grown and my thought process evolved. If I failed to put quantifiers by some thoughts and made comments that were broad sweeping I feel like, "If it's not you I'm talking about here then chill out"I forgot all about this thread.

I honestly didn't watch much of the Wayans brothers. maybe I should catch some reruns or check it out if it's on Netflix or HuluIt wasn't anymore silly than the other countless white silly comedies that nobody says is funny for "them"
Pops and Shawn were business owner's Shawn started working at ups and worked his way up. Marlon had to find himself and ended up finding his calling being an actor.
They dealt with gentrification, racism, they even dealt with times where each brother was doing bad and couldn't pay the bills. They tried to start a Taxi service because black people couldn't catch cabs.
Pops ran for mayor, they did it all and they did it their way.
That's timeless and classic funny.
All of them motherfuckers have terrible taste buds. A girl I was dating said that she likes Little Caesars Pizza and Kraft macaroni and cheese, and eats Kraft American cheese slices. She's 29 and her taste buds have not matured.How is NYC pizza terrible when there’s a million pizza jawns? FOH

Yeah Niggas have toddler mouths.A lot of the stock market is research, but some of it is just dumb luck. 4 years ago a co-worker was doing some stock market doings and I got in. I went in on two stocks: Sprint & WWE.
Sprint was supposed to be merging with T-MOBILE and a possible jump from $7.50 was highly possible so I bought 20 shares (its $5.15 today)
WWE had just dropped and I got in for 30 shares at $10.90 (it's $58.08 now and still going up)
Luck
Most men feel this wayDont get married. Its over rated and it could turn out to be one of the dumbest decisions you make in in your life.

I never thought Jordan was the GOAT
I don't think Lebron is either.
I'd say some, yes. If you're in crypto, you can tell.Most dudes online bragging about the big money they made from Crypto and Binary Options are lying
This would be a popular opinion.Today's rap is shit.
Take it from a person who lost their mother unexpectedly. Patch that shit up bruh. When she's gone she's going to take a piece of you with her even if you're on bad terms...Me and my moms don't talk. Outside of my uncle's (her brothers) funeral we haven't seen/spoken in well over a year.

Take it from someone who didn't patch shit up with his dad and then he passed away in 2002. That shit still bothers me to this day.Me and my moms don't talk. Outside of my uncle's (her brothers) funeral we haven't seen/spoken in well over a year.
