Game got owned by a nigga who is the Black Rumpelstiltskin, and dresses like Madea with high fashion sense, not to mention is Baby’s bae.

Meek was right, lmfao wow…never thought I’d see the day I give Thugger props in Hip-Hop.

What the fuck era are we in this decade?

Out of all politicians throughout NY Rap’s inclusion into Hip-Hop, I seldom hear him dissed or even mentioned at all in songs by the emcees. Why is Nas for example, JUST NOW acknowledging that his family are leeches?

Is it me, or is the city lacking tracks calling out Trump’s family history of racism, for over 45 YEARS???

How they were both raised, couldn’t be anymore as polar opposites. Her family were not only a part of surviving the crack era in NYC at the time (father was a crackhead and robber, mom was a nurse and constantly beaten up and abused by the dad), but they also are Caribbean immigrants. Trump’s family obviously placed a part in affecting the Queens housing projects, they grew up in during that time.

The Trumps were and still are extremely racist and despised Black people in NYC. It was definitely inherited, if not taught, here’s 3 examples:

Black people as accountants and in finance

Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.

Black people on real estate

(In the 1970’s when Fred Trump was still alive)
A former building superintendent working for the Trumps explained that he was told to code any application by a black person with the letter C, for colored, apparently so the office would know to reject it. A Trump rental agent said the Trumps wanted to rent only to “Jews and executives,” and discouraged renting to blacks.

When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available. A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was invited to choose between two available apartments. In October 1973, the Justice Department filed a civil rights case that accused the Trump firm, whose complexes contained 14,000 apartments, of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Black people as patrons in a casino

As Trump moved into casinos, discrimination followed. In the 1980s, according to a former Trump casino worker, Kip Brown, who was quoted by The New Yorker: “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor. … They put us all in the back.

You’ll hear the decries of moronic Black men and women (especially from New York), who blame her for “ruining women in Rap and Hip-Hop, and NY Rap”.
Let’s just forget, when the city itself brought upon its own demise in the 90’s – still harboring similar attitudes that Trump has towards Black people – for DECADES.

NYC is in shambles, and the “ambassador” you hate in Rap came from the same place you did. So how can you expect that one individual, to turn your city around knowing Black women don’t hold any power in political office over there?

  • NYC already hates Black people, inside and outside of politics, and will always have something against Rap artists. But a Black female Rap artist, who had to crossover to White audiences (because NYC never supports Black women unless it’s Alicia Keys)? Oh yeah, SHE is the real problem. What could she possibly change in a city’s ingrained attitudes so deeply stuck in self-inflicted and projected blind hatred? This is a city founded on and backed by, a backstabbing ideology.

You don’t want rich, independent, successful Black women who were impoverished holding candidacy in NYC, why the hell is she any different? People like Trump hold back progress, that not-as-rich Black people such as her have yet to break barriers into.

You don’t see any Black “Godfather” figures in real life do you? Imagine the lunacy, on thinking there’s a Black female version of that somewhere in NYC.

Do New Yorkers not understand tact, when making comparisons between 2 people who come from the same city, let lived in entirely different worlds???

(Her thoughts on Trump’s tactics):

There are points he has made that may not have been so horrible if his approach wasn’t so childish,“ explains Minaj. "But in terms of entertainment – I think he’s hilarious. I wish they could just film him running for president. That’s the ultimate reality show.

On the mononymous part, that’s kind a dull point as most famous people go by a single name. With the “citrusy coifs” description: he wears a toupee, she has real hair, lol.

There’s a negative connotation on “Eliminated contestants”, all the judges on American Idol, collectively decide to eliminate them (respectfully, at that). In contrast, Trump ran his own show and fired them with condescension. He only had people of different races, to play his “for the people” card of propaganda.

Yeah, she “speaks her mind” always gets flak for it, meanwhile Trump is politically correct (well actually “incorrect” regarding intelligence). He still gets the support of an American audience, who for the most part can’t stand Obama’s family.

Sidenote: Why doesn’t NYC EVER get together and do shit like “Detroit Vs. Everybody”, and instead call it:

“The Giants Vs. Trump Tower”

or

“The Apple Is Still Rotting”?

In the early-mid 90’s, the East Coast’s Golden Age was already establishing itself, as the once epicenter of Rap. Though innovation was to be expected for a majority of classic EC regional (NYC/Jersey/Massachusetts/Pennsylvania, etc.) scenes, there was a lot of copycats that began the eventual repetitive process of biting – that is whatever new style premiered.

Some wanted to be thugs, mob bosses, kingpins, thieves, greedy CEO’s. Others striven to be, players, scam artists, corrupt politicians, manipulative clergymen, etc.

But in the East, there was a man who decided to write his own canon, of what being himself meant. The solution of undoing all this unworldly chaos, was brought upon by Brooklyn’s Jeru The Damaja. He’s who put absolutism with logic and reasoning, above all things considered to be “bandwagon”, stereotypical cultural trends.

Philosophy at the time, was on some “5%” type of esoteric delusion. His stance was staunch, prided on critical thinking, with a hint of mysticism, and naturalist ideals – to round out a 3-fold of individualistic, beatdown on the mic.
His ideologies transcended to an entire other plateau, in EC Rap’s limited and redundant subject matter. It is through his emceeing, that the East would be challenged in its tropes.

Not according to this diss track, unless he has plans of making up and settling this like a man he claimed in this Taxstone interview. First he said he’ll have Meek killed, but seems to express a different sentiment throughout this whole recorded podcast.

This is the same rapper who worked with him on “Dreamchasers”, who now claims somehow Meek hasn’t went through anything in his life. On the “holdin' your boys cryin'” part, Sigel seems to have a false memory – as Lil' Snupe was one of Meek’s homeboys and got murdered for no apparent reason. He detailed the circumstances of it on “Lil Snupe”. Surely, he can relate to those instances as true events, being raised in the same side of Philly Meek resided in.

  • Adding to the facts, Meek’s dad got killed in front of the church they went to, documented on “Traumatized”. Meek has yet to avenge his father, and find his killer to this day.

My God somebody who actual gave a super lengthy, yet factual and exemplified basis of what Rap actually is.
More intelligence than the entire RG forums put together.
They also made UD, seem like it’s for people who never picked up an actual dictionary. – or only read Dr. Suess.
