What unpopular opinions do you have?

[World B Free]

1) because our possessions are the main thing that determines our status as human beings. If we're all equal under God then those possessions have to go.

2) I feel two ways about this. On one hand, nothing exemplifies the values and spirit of America more than a man who started a slave rebellion. On the other hand, if Nat Turner's rebellion had been successful he probably would have started his own country.

3) Very unlikely.

For starters, Malcolm was surrounded by musicians in his Detroit Red days. If he had any interest in starting a music career he would have used those connections. There's no evidence that he ever did. Don't see why that would change 50 years later.

The few rappers blessed enough to have a career usually fade out around the age of 25 to 27. For an artist born in 1975 that would be roughly 2000 - 2002. At that point there were very few rappers using the lil moniker.

Most important, unlike Detroit Red, Lil D Red would have been born in the age of mass incarceration. Assuming that he did the same or similar hustles he would have been way more likely to get caught and would have served a way longer sentence. He might still be in prison now.

4) if you crash and wreck your car tonight what happens to the gas still in the tank? And what do you make of the fact that when you turned the key this morning the motor ran fine?

After the accident your car will be towed to a junkyard will it will be stripped down to its basic parts. In turn, those parts will be used to improve the lifespan and performance of other cars. Eventually those parts will be broken down further into components and raw materials which will be used to make a better car.

It's a crude example, but nature functions in a similar way.

Hope you enjoyed my unpopular opinion of your unpopular opinions.

1) I'm still holding out for storage units in Heaven/Hell

2) I think you really don't understand the Hip Hop thing, it wasn't about playing instruments and singing. Study why Hip Hop was created in the first place. As for Malcolm X, see Tupac as Malcolm Little/Detroit Red......

3) I'm talking about something beyond the body/beyond the flesh....

1) say you lived in Alaska and had to move to Hawaii. Would you make sure to pack your parkas, or would it be better to leave them behind for a relative or neighbor that could actually use them?

Same thing applies to our stuff when we die

2) I have spent years studying why hip hop was created. None of that is really relevant when we're talking about someone who would have been 3 years old when rappers delight came out.

Our fictitious Lil D Red, born in 1975, would have come of age in Lansing Michigan during the 1980s. During that time there would have been no local hip hop scene, or at least not one that made any kind of money.

Why would it interest him? Especially since he had no musical ambitions to begin with?

He would have found a scene in Roxbury or Harlem, but he probably would have found a way to make money off the rappers rather than try to be one himself. Same way Detroit Red made money off the jazz musicians.

3) there's no answers here, but IMHO there's only two real possibilities. Either our soul becomes the property of a higher being or ceases to exist.

In either case it's completely out of our control so why worry about it?

1. I made this comment in jest, google "in jest."

2. Danny, read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, Malcolm loved music and would regularly go the Lindy-Hop dances in NYC, peep this:

In the Autobiography, Malcolm vividly recalls the swinging music and acrobatic dancing of the young black couples at Boston's Roseland and Harlem's Savoy Ballroom: "They'd jam pack that ballroom, the black girls in wayout silk and satin dresses and shoes, their hair done in all kinds of styles, the men sharp in their zoot suits and crazy conks, and everybody grinning and greased and gassed." Malcolm became friends with many jazz musicians and entertainers, including Billie Holiday and Lionel Hampton. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley emphasizes that the zootsuited Malcolm Little, so immersed in the black popular culture of the 1940s, should not be overlooked or forgotten in our understanding the complex personality we identify as Malcolm X.

Danny, what are you talking about, really? Read more about Malcolm X. So Malcolm X as person that would be into Hip Hop and be a rapper isn't an odd idea if you know your history or if you know Black History rather.

3) Why are worried about what you think I'm worried about?

3) Why are worried about what you think I'm worried about?

1) my bad I thought it was a rhetorical question

2) Loving music is not the same as wanting to be a musician. Not even close!

I've read the autobiography of Malcolm X several times. You might recall where he discouraged his friend Shorty from being a saxophone player because he didn't think he would make any money off it.

3) I should have said "it's out of our control so why does it matter?"

1) You must be real fun at parties.

2) I think you really need to read the Autobiography of Malcolm X again then. Plus Hip Hop isn't about playing instruments like the saxophone; again, go research hip hop and how it started. You're missing the whole point about him being involved in Hip Hop.

3) You literally said "In either case it's completely out of our control so why worry about it?" Stop misquoting yourself.

1) I DJ parties and every time I do people have fun.

2) I'm going to take this as two people who read the same material and came to wildly different conclusions. There's no point in going in circles over this.

3) I know what I said. You either didn't read or didn't care what I said in the previous post.

Man you ever been on a lunch break and put a HoneyBun in the microwave for about 10 seconds? Just pinch the plastic a little bit to let the steam come out? Man listen.....sweet, sticky, warm....

1) You're turned my fun unpopular opinion post into not fun; I bet you do the same as a DJ.

I can picture it, "Here comes DJ Danny-B with the Dirge Remixes again, let's go home."

2) I'm not going in circles; you're going in creepy hexagons, though.

3) I think you're bored at this point. & I take back the good advice I gave to you years ago now. Maybe those people were right.

outside of baybay's kids...robin harris wasn;t all that funny.

 

[jasonblacc]

At one point I was digging AZ more than I was Nas. Nas career, especially late, was lacking terribly in the beat department. It was hard to listen to that kat rap over wack ass beats.

This is far from true now..... He's the best rapper ever over 40.... He's had a second career that unmatched in hip-hop

Not face
Not snoop
Not jay
Can see Nas right now

Can we go at least 1 week without a sports show ranking the best NBA players?

It was bro..back in the 60s and 70s...then in the 90s brotha got shortened to bruh...but the REAL uncomfortable truth is black men today lost the bass in their voice to say the word in any case..

These young dudes today sound hella weak and come off suspect as fuck!

 

[NYC-DC]

Black people in the US should all be Independents and never join the Democrats or Republicans parties or have any loyalty to either party. We should make those parties continuously work for our vote.

Sad, horrible....and Rae Dawn Chong said that Mick Jagger had sex with her when she was 15.

Rae Dawn reveals how she spent night with Mick Jagger when underage

Rae Dawn says she is only speaking out to 'own' the story after accidentally blurting out during a podcast that she had sex with Jagger when she was two years under the age of consent.

Agreed. I don’t watch much outside of boxing and some nba, but the greatest anything will always be subjective by era, rule changes and a bad call.

I think this Wembayamaha dude is gonna be a bust. I could he wrong, but I just don’t see it.

I think this Wembayamaha dude is gonna be a bust. I could he wrong, but I just don’t see it.

I think that the muthafucka’s just tall!

He can dribble and shoot, I look forward to seeing him against NBA competition to get a better gauge on his talent.

We will see how this goes. Hope he does well though.

Emotional support animals are a scam

 

[julian]

lemon flavored anything is the best fruit flavored anything. for example lemon cake beats any fruit based cake

 

[geechiedan]

Emotional support animals are a scam

emotional support animals
gender fluidity
the rebellion of work from home

all of these things have the hallmarks of white privilege

if ANY of these things were nonwhite led and advocated they would be illegal. Even liberals and progressives would be silent on them.

We are not prepared for automation at all. Our social, political and economic thinking have been completely outpaced and we're (optimistically speaking) at least a generation behind our current reality. The oligarchs that run everything will be happy to turn this shit into a Mad Max style Techno Feudalist reality sooner than y'all serf type capitalist apologist ass niggas think. Find an exit soon.
