What is this weird, curious association Ghost and Rae have going on with Jim Jones, of all fucking people?
If they had to collabo with a Harlemite or even a Dipset member, why Jim? Why not Cam at least?
The song with Jim Jones basically ruined Ghost’s new album for me, and this song was ruined by that terrible singing as well as Jim’s ridiculous raps and adlibs.
Damn shame Rae & Ghost can’t just make a[nother] full album of classics.
February 2nd, 2011 at 11:40 pm
I hate to be biased like this, but this song is one of the few instances in which autotune didn’t COMPLETELY disgust me.
It still disgusts me a little though.

im not a fan of auto tune at all BUT it def worked w the beat and it wasent over the top crazy…i think they went w jones just bcuz the whole “rock n roll” concept…and u know how Jones was all over that lane, his lyrics was wack but his style goes best w the track, still think Rae brought a bit of heat
February 2nd, 2011 at 11:58 pm
damn this shit is crazy right here!!!!!!!!!!
….until Jim Jones comes in fucks it all up.

White people >>>>
Black people >>>>
I dont see colour.
Im tired of people on this site complaining about the “man” and blaming everything on slavery, and acting like slavery was a purely white phenomina…even tho africans, arabs, chinese, french, russian, indonesean etc were all equally involved in slavery. I personally feel like the whole idea of a “black history month” is patronizing and insulting towards blacks. As if black history is single seperate occurance thats isolated from the history of the rest of the world.
You have to love all races, colours, creeds etc equally before you can truely love urself.
“And also, when white ppl arrived in africa, they were aided through treacherous jungles and given the pick of Africans who were ALREADY SLAVES!!! The diaspora didn’t start with blacks being STOLEN from the mother land. We were already lined up on sale, separated by skill, size, and strength.”

Having a black history month in america…its so ridiculous….
Imagine a “white history” month in Nigeria…
History is history. Instead of having an isolated month for blacks, impletement some black history into world history.
And also, its patronizing how “black history” only goes back to Martin Luther King….as if blacks have only been around 100 years.
even tho blacks have been around for a longer period than whites lol

February 3rd, 2011 at 9:07 am
we have a black history month you stupid motherfucker
because we have
1) brainwashed black people and ignorant others who dont know that black people were once kings & queens – responsible for a lot of todays mathematics – science – technology – astronony – arts
2) some black who dont have a shared sense of histroy – italians have theirs – koreans have theres – irish have theirs et al- all we are told is that “you niggers were once slaves and have always been slaves – thats how you came here” when that isnt the case

We are all slavemasters, raping the poorer countries of the world…
Its just that we are kept seperate from the third world, so its out of sight, so we dont feel guilty
We want the cheapest labour costs….thats what slavery is about, making ppl labour for free so the rich dont have to suffer. Thats the motivation behind slavery
Thats whats going on now in less economically developed countries. We (the west) want the cheapest prices, and are unwilling to work in hard conditions for no money, so we exploit those who have NO CHOICE (ie. Kids in india, africa, indonesea)….
Slavery is still alive and we are now ignoranf slavemasters

there is a blog which is doing well in raising money for kool hercs medical bills – ill get the link up later – you can donate if you want – no pressure to do so though

the Evil off the white man was tenfold compared to anything Africa had known. It was the tricknology Africans werent familiar with, and allowed Slaves to be shipped off the coast. NO way they knew women would be raped beaten and forced to have sex with others slaves just to keep a steady stream of newborn baby slaves popping.
