Pac sucks.
Peace.
^D_Block, your a great guy and all (n) but if you say crazy things like this out loud again, I will be forced to kill you…………..So how are you doing today? (n)
456 I am really suprised you Stan for Jay so hard, being a Rasta and all. Thought part of the religion dismissed capitalism and wealth western society as a whole.
^ i respect jay’s consistency. he has said what he’s about from the very beginning and has stayed true to that. they criticized bob marley when he bought a mercedes and traveled in “iron birds”, but when you get caught up in dogma you lose the way. i don’t listen to jay for his materialism, i listen to him for his force of will. and for all nas talks, jay is the one building water pumps in africa, paying for black kids educations and moving in a conscious fashion.
“I been rich I been poor I saved and blown bread
Some say I been here before because of the way I zone
Some said, Jigga zone is like the fallin of Rome
Reoccuring, that he thinks like that cause he’s observant
Won’t be known until I’m gone and niggaz study my poems
Mentally been many places, but I’m Brooklyn’s own
In the physical, onee seems, like a lost body
In fact my thoughts don’t differ much from that of God body
But it’s the odd shottie, that got cats, likening me
to the mob John Gotti, rap dudes bitin me cause
I got it locked like the late Bob Marley
Pardon me y’all, the great Bob Marley
Solemnly we mourn, all the rappers that’s gone
Niggaz that got killed in the field and all the babies born
Know they ain’t fully prepared for this New World Order
So I keep it ghetto like sunflower seeds and quarter waters
You walk em through it, you know, talk em through it
>jay is the one building water pumps in africa, paying for black kids educations and moving in a conscious fashion.
Writing open letter to kids in chicago > Building water pumps in africa
Not knocking jay, cause that was a great thing he did, but I don’t remember him helping anybody out in marcy, he honestly took more from his community than he’s put in it.

Jay persoanlly went to africa to give away toilets, but when katrina hit, he wrote a check & K.I.M he even said he felt bad for it on KC, i’m not knocking him, but I think it was PR stunt more than him actually caring.

So yall forgot the Nas and Jr Gong album? Money will to africa from that album….it’s a dedication
Everybody knows Yonkers breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from St. Andrew’s feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.
You have the ability and mindpower to change they way we are looked at. Look who’s blogging about us young warriors.
You’re bugging. That letter isn’t going to prevent one goddamned death. So your point is moot, as is Nas’ “sincerity”.
^Even if it doesn’t prevent anything, atleast he took time out to actually address the issue, that’s the “sincerity” i’m talking bout. He didn’t have to do it, but he did, he doesn’t have a album coming out, a mixtape, single, none of that shit, he did it because he felt he had to atleast make a statement.
I mean, I understand the whole “help people over here first argument”, but the worst hoods over here are cakewalk compared to over there. I mean, u grew up in bmore, but did u ever not have access to running water? Doubt it. And would a letter a rapper wrote have changed your thought process on thugginess? Doubt that too.
Ra’s flow on that track with Jada might be the worst i’ve heard from him. It was bad!! Its the first time an instrumental ever tripped him up. It was sad to hear. G Rap can still rip almost any young bucks ass on a track today. no homo.

Ask people in africa who Jay-Z or Nas is and they’ll tell you who’s goat….
^^
The answer is JayZ. By a laaaaarge margin.
^
LOL yeah if you think they know a Jay-Z or a Nas then okay….
^^
That’s why I don’t give Ra the GOAT title. He sucks now, and has for awhile, word to Jay completely bodying him on The Watcher 2 and The Master being damn near unlistenable. G Rap, Kane, and KRS are still killing shit.
I mean, I understand the whole “help people over here first argument”
^first of all, jay does help people here. in REAL ways. second, the biggest problem black people have is that they are rootless and dont know who they are. that is the basic reason for all the dysfunction we see in the ghettos across america. if you see africa as separate from yourself and you are black YOU LOST FAM. real talk

^Yeah, we’re on the same page, cause I totally agree, I would just like to see these guys do more, be more involved in the community. It just baffles me how Jay just felt like giving one day and just gave away a village worth of johns (n) sinks, and bathtubs. Then I remember who we’re talking about and it just reeks of PR stunt, it was a great thing he did, but to have a MTV special on it too? Wow, did the cameras really have to be there?
That’s why I just feel nas is more sincere with his, while jay is like “look at me, i’m doing something good for mankind”
LOL yeah if you think they know a Jay-Z or a Nas then okay
^^
My girl and several friends are from West Africa, I’m not sure why u would think they don’t know who Jay is. He did a concert in Lagos last year for christsakes. Yknow Ghost, as poor as some parts are, people will always find a way to gain access to pop culture, especially black American pop culture.

^id argue that is more insitutional racism and redlining economic policies as opposed to lack of knowledge of self.
^^
I don’t think these concepts are mutually exclusive. Lack of sense of self is the natural effect of economic, social, and political disenfranchisement. As is having ur history snatched in order to make said disenfranchisement work for the “system”.

^I live in Ghana and went to Jay’s concert in Nigeria and believe me they know Jay. Lagos moves faster than New York. Like 5x faster believe me. And they bling in Nigeria for real for real. In fact big Nigerians are actually what hiphop rappers WANT to be: OWNERS and masters of their own country and destiny.

You know what, I’m not from Africa so I really can’t back my statement up, I just know if I’m dead ass hungery and some threw me a bottle of water I’m not going to ask “who’s this from” I’ll just say “thank you” to the white people in the cowboy hat….fuck a rocafella sign labeled on my bottle or ontop the water fountain I just know I have water to drink……but again I’m not there so I don’t know

Africans don’t hate black people, they just think we’re lazy, lol. Their women love us tho, it ain’t nothing for a black dude from here to bag a bad African chick, I don’t care what part of the motherland she from.
did niggas not see the video of Jay in Marcy with Oprah. You willing to tell me a reception like that when no one knew he was coming out is the reception of a nigga who did nothing for his hood? come on son (c) ed lover. Nas don’t even get a recption like that in his own fuckin house. foh.
456 does it matter that Jays building the pumps in Africa was done for publicity, or all that matters is that the pumps were built?
And if you ask me, Jay simply took a page from Bonos book, on how to gain World wide acceptance. In order to get blown into a different stratusphere you must make a mark on the global scale. These are some of the things that are taught by the PR firm. Niggas like Bill Gates, you never see a camera following him around to document all he does for people.
You know what, I’m not from Africa so I really can’t back my statement up, I just know if I’m dead ass hungery and some threw me a bottle of water I’m not going to ask “who’s this from” I’ll just say “thank you” to the white people in the cowboy hat….fuck a rocafella sign labeled on my bottle or ontop the water fountain I just know I have water to drink……

some of the people on nah right are fucking retards. i know the irony alert is ringing because i think beach chair is one of the dankest songs of all time, but some of y’all think on some borderline retarded levels.
>>at the expense of their own population…i dont think thats what anyone should strive to be.
^yeah there is corruption. but its no more than in US (c) madoff
and the point is, that EVERY nigerian believes in owning. Jay don’t even own his shit. he has a percentage. he’s as close as it comes and even he dont own his own shit. Nigerians like the billionaires who are BUILDING THEIR OWN FIBER OPTIC CABLES undersea own it ALL.
funny, but ignorant. he built water pumps so children wouldnt have to walk 50 miles to get water. but yeah, you funny
^I seen the special, that was not 50 miles, lol j/k. I would have a whole different opinion about Jay if I just read about it, or seen the headline in nahlite or something, but this nigga had a hour long special on MTV, that just sucked all the credibility out of his efforts.
some of the people on nah right are fucking retards. i know the irony alert is ringing because i think beach chair is one of the dankest songs of all time, but some of y’all think on some borderline retarded levels.

No jokes, real talk, like getting updated school books, new desks, school supply, computers, shit like that, give kids a reason to want to go to school, cause I went to northern, and I knew how it felt to go somewhere every morning that you didn’t wanna go w/o getting a dead end job.
Google northern, the school that holds the record for most kids suspended in one day, principle suspended atleast 1500 kids, shit was crazy son

speakin of bankruptcy…im bettin on CIT coming back…so i threw 5 stacks on it… small but a quick 40% return wont hurt..i mean its still achance that shyt might drop back to .31 cents…
I’ve been to East Africa, the poorest part of Africa, and the mentality there is to do well for yourself and your family. Once you get there it’s the ‘fuck where you came from it’s where you’re at’ mentality. They are some seriously selfish people.
Also on the the whole Jay vs Nas idolization in Africa, it’s all the same. They care more about European Soccer players like Ronaldo and the Chelsea team to be honest with you.

^Even if it doesn’t prevent anything, atleast he took time out to actually address the issue, that’s the “sincerity” i’m talking bout. He didn’t have to do it, but he did, he doesn’t have a album coming out, a mixtape, single, none of that shit, he did it because he felt he had to atleast make a statement.

I mean, I understand the whole “help people over here first argument”, but the worst hoods over here are cakewalk compared to over there. I mean, u grew up in bmore, but did u ever not have access to running water? Doubt it. And would a letter a rapper wrote have changed your thought process on thugginess? Doubt that too.

Ra’s flow on that track with Jada might be the worst i’ve heard from him. It was bad!! Its the first time an instrumental ever tripped him up. It was sad to hear. G Rap can still rip almost any young bucks ass on a track today. no homo.

^Yeah, we’re on the same page, cause I totally agree, I would just like to see these guys do more, be more involved in the community. It just baffles me how Jay just felt like giving one day and just gave away a village worth of johns (n) sinks, and bathtubs. Then I remember who we’re talking about and it just reeks of PR stunt, it was a great thing he did, but to have a MTV special on it too? Wow, did the cameras really have to be there?
That’s why I just feel nas is more sincere with his, while jay is like “look at me, i’m doing something good for mankind”

I don’t think these concepts are mutually exclusive. Lack of sense of self is the natural effect of economic, social, and political disenfranchisement. As is having ur history snatched in order to make said disenfranchisement work for the “system”.

456 does it matter that Jays building the pumps in Africa was done for publicity, or all that matters is that the pumps were built?
And if you ask me, Jay simply took a page from Bonos book, on how to gain World wide acceptance. In order to get blown into a different stratusphere you must make a mark on the global scale. These are some of the things that are taught by the PR firm. Niggas like Bill Gates, you never see a camera following him around to document all he does for people.
