@NEEZY63 Had nothing to do with him being light skinned… and if that’s what u got from it, either YOU have your own insecurities, biases, or your slow…
@CashflowinLP This didn’t even make any sense…. Just cuz u got bread doesn’t mean u won’t struggle tryin to LEARN something new let alone learn how to do it well enough to sell it… 🤦🏾♂️
@chatnigga101 So yea… we get snobby about the shit… especially Gen X and some Millenials… but no, I don’t think Jim Jones version did THAT much for Kid Cudi’s version of Day/Nite.
@chatnigga101 I don’t remember Jim Jones version…. I’m born and raised in NY… Gen X… Hip Hop til I die… that said, yall DO have a weird hatred for NY in hip hop… we are arrogant about it because to us it LITERALLY saved our lives… to yall it’s music. To Us it’s life to yall it’s a vibe.
@chatnigga101 To us, it taught us about Malcolm X, The Panthers, Garvey, Nat Turner, Told us how to fuck, fight, love, hate, Get fresh, be respectful, hustle, encouraged us to read, be defiant, defend ourselves, to be proud, etc etc etc. 1/2 good 1/2 bad. To yall? It’s a way to get paid.
@heterodoxwhile1@2Cool2Blog 1st of all, I like ACG’s & I still rock an army jacket from time to time 😂 that said, don’t pay these 🥷 no mind, only people that knew about Jim’s version is Harlem 🥷 and people heavy into mixtapes. The rest of us from that era either forgot or just heard Jim’s shit yesterday.
@bdotTM I’m born and raised in NY… and I’m GEN X… I totally forgot about Jim’s version until someone posted it on IG… the only people that knew that Jim version is people that were DEEP in the mixtapes… which is cool cuz I was too but… nah.
@BreyThaBarbie I understand his point and I think most of I understand his point as well u just don’t like Marc. As angry and motivated as we are now, we should have been this pissed off and motivated… but we weren’t… we NEED to be angry, and it took trump to get people there.
This #nas#lightyears album isn’t bad. These criticisms are the same ones #jayz 4:44 and #KendrickLamar#mrmorale received… somewhere somehow the beats became more important than the rhymes… the vibe overshadowed the conversation… the content and context… shits sick.
