2)When you employ IDGAF in your life you go further (Not being ugly or an ass about it, but just having less cares about trivial and irrelevant in the big picture situations)

5) Black community is in bad shape. Not the physical or even money but the mentality. I have Black people DAILY at my shop that think because they have purchased from me for a year or 6 months or 3 years that I owe them for my success. Even though I do have rewards, gifts etc. Talking to them about why they don't expect the same free shit from Best Buy, Walmart etc is pointless because they hate that they think Im doing well or atleast better then them.

#2 and #5 are linked. Your black customers hate the idea of their money making you rich because you are black. To the average black person, someone black becoming rich off them (independent of cacs) is the worst shit in the world. Meanwhile, white daddy has told your customers he dont give a fuck about them repeatedly and they lucky they can patronize him, so they flock and beg him to take their money. Its aspirational, while buying from another black person is not. Even on bgol, blacks who do business independent of whites are almost always considered scam artists, con man, egomaniacs tryna take advantage, etc. But blacks who are rich working under whites are Gods and what "success" is.

- While I could point to other moments in history, I do feel the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were a turning point in history for black people as it relates to white supremacy. By putting that level of firepower on display, and showing the willingness to use it, it relegated blacks to runner-up status globally. Nation building is virtually meaningless without the means to deter enemies. This is largely why nations develop military power. With no economy and no military power, plain and simple, we are extremely vulnerable. We don't do anything about the incessant abuse and meddling, because there is nothing to really do, that they wouldn't quickly undermine, but hope they die off somehow/eventually, or evolve to the point that they want to share wealth and power equally.

- The average human being desires to be light-complected(If the shoe don't fit, don't force it onto your foot). We talk about the color issues in the black community, but those issues exist everywhere. White people tan, black people bleach, or are sensitive about their complexions, and lighter-skinned people around the world, in general, are regarded highly in physical appearance. You hear a lot of jokes about being dark; you hear jokes about being 'white as a sheet', etc .... but while you may hear jokes about light-skinned people, you never hear jokes about their complexion. Its mostly about the vanity that comes from being light-skinned.

I agree most of them are linked including #1

My ways of thinking become broader with age and ability to travel. Honestly, its bigger then race, race is just tool used.

The IDGAF is what Ive adopted too when dealing with small things. I leave extra top for good service, walk away from toxic or potentially toxic friendships, don't discuss things that people are not ready to hear etc. IDGAF about the small things ;)

Peace though appreciate the commentary

Its a slave mentality taught to us from slavery, but its the reason why black people are broke and on the bottom. We are the only people on the planet that do not practice group economics.

Then we have the nerve to be mad at the white man for not hiring us. The Wake up call is to black people is that people look after there own first. White, Asian, Jew, Arab all practice group economies and are going to do what is best for there own people. While we sit around waiting on the white man for crumbs.

Peace,

Sweet potato pie is overrated.

People need to stop hating Tyler Perry and start trying to replicate his example.

Ether is overrated too.
Its a good diss song but I think it got traction because people were waiting for somebody to go hard at Jay...people forget it took Nas forever to respond with that...Takeover is a better overall song and what was so bad about Super Ugly (which was an immediate response)? Never got the hate... The crowd says Nas won but I have never been convinced...Nas is one of the greatest rappers of all time but in a street corner battle setting Jay would kill him

what's crazy is whenever he rapped to a hot beat he flourishes but it's his countless shitty ass dry beats that make u wanna snooze to his music

That I agree with. When I go running there are a handful of Nas songs and triple the amount of Jay songs. That being said Nas grew and he is really for the listener. I was listening to something from around their beef time and just now realized he was talking to Jay. Better artist - Nas, better songs -Jay

He also get props from me cause he went at the Roc DOLO....

he talk about selling illegal substances in countless tracks if you talking about that "substance":rolleyes2:
:lol:

Even on the duet him and Ye did on his first album, Ye's talking all this spiritual stuff and about his mother, and then Jay comes in talking how he started out with an Acura, and I'm looking at the stereo like

Well, while we're throwing Jay under the bus, we may need to send Biggie with him, too.

I think Biggie was a better rapper than Pac, but Biggie's content . . . . . .

Since we're talking Jay Z, outside "Lost One", does he ever rap about anything of substance?

No. Jays strength is not introspective tracks. Hes done them since his 1st CD but they arent his best material. Jay is more comfortable writing braggadocio and luxury branding in his raps. He almost always tells stories from his perspective.

Scarface is overrated

New Jack City is very underrated. Easily a top 5 gangster movie of all-time. (It's up there with the Godfather)

Mike Tyson would've beaten Muhammad Ali if both fought each other during their respective primes.

Lobster is overrated. I don't see what the hype is all about.

Obama was the same ol same ol in regards to politics.

Trump is a puppet to keep our minds occupied from really changing this world for the better.

- Jay Z songs promote negativity and therefore he's a coon
- Cam Newton possesses amazing physical talents, but he is a mediocre QB. He can't read a defense
- Beyonce and Rhianna are overrated artists
- Constant use of the word nigga is psychologically damaging. The word is mostly used as a negative.

So does dam every rapper including tupac

He hasn't commented yet

But @largebillsonlyplease thinks the Danny Glover Predator is better than Predator 1.

Because it is. Not even close.
Nothing happened in Predator 1
Dudes in the jungle trying to extract 1 woman
Then predator comes and picks them apart easily
and then arnold got in the mud and escaped.

Danny fought him in the hood scaled buildings went into tunnels and gave him the okie doke in the meat plant
It Killed apollo creed, duke and almost got the terminator
and danny glover showed him what the hood is all about
Predator 2 is a far superior film

Alicia Keys can't really sing. Every note she tries to hit she has to howl at the moon and that vein in her neck is heroin ready

Oscar Robertson is the best player of all time

New York is iiight

80s hip hop didn't stand the test of time like 90's hip hop

Nas has no ear for music

Bruno Mars is overrated as fuck and just looks up 80s groups to bite and come out with shit like it's new

Big L would not be holding it down

Barry Bonds is the best baseball player of all time.

Men shouldn't wear open toed shoes and that includes slides and flip flops
