[tr1ll]

Not true at all

Based on what?

 

[moonman818]

Not true at all

If you have an MPC, it's pretty easy

DCAllAfrican is good peoples and an ally

You say he is an ally and he's saying you don't mess with black folks. Where is that coming from?

Those sampled beats in the beginning wasn’t really that hard to do if you know your way around production equipment

 

[Sumrndmdude!]

don't think it was neccesarily about the samples as much as it was about themes in the album, and the fact that it got pushed by a 'streetrap' label.

college dropout isn't looked at the same if it's released by a rawkus records, or doesn't have a jay-z cosign

I know we love to shoot down, "WhatAboutIsms" but IS there a legit argument against the frustration Black Folks feel when they see people not get the level of punishment for disrespecting them as they do when other groups are harmed/disrespected?

I know some of us have already expressed that if Black Folks took themselves more seriously we would magically get that level of pull/respect. (Interesting that comment went unchecked by many in here but that is another story)

You know this is NT right?

Only certain people get to feel what they feel, and express themselves freely.

Can’t go against the grain or you gonna get it.

I think it is. Lets do a rundown.

Pastel..was a ripoff Ice Cream…which was basically Bape US.
Those sampled beats in the beginning wasn’t really that hard to do if you know your way around production equipment
Those Nike Yeezys(red octobers) were basically a bunch of Nikes mashed together
Kanye x APC = basic
Kanye x LV = none nike Air Yeezys
Kanye’s clothing like was hobo clothes
Ill give him the Boosts

Dude was a hack for the most part. He just has rapid fans.

your fashion criticisms / my fashion criticisms are totally irrelevant.

There a plenty of people with rabid fanbases.
If it was so easy everyone would do it.


And people with billions of dollars on the line.
With more information than you or I

Have been scraping and begging to be partered with him.



Whatever your personal opinion of the products

At some point you reach a "if you could have invested Facebook you would have invested Facebook." situation.

If making that stuff was so easy everyone would do it.

are black people to forgiving?

And is that a good thing or a bad thing.

I mean Kanye says slavery is a myth, and everybody forgets about it when he gives them an album and new merch.

This is a level of delusional hating I've haven't encountered before.

 

[computersputin]

So you big mad because I like beautiful, black women and think that delicious sweet soy korean fried chicken is a superior blend?

While you were doing your selective posting why didn't you post these?

Oh wait, because it doesnt fit your clown gaslighting narrative.

So i’ll state it for you clearly.

Black Americans are a backbone of this country and has contributed to the legacy for minority acceptance of Asians Hispanics and countless other minorities in White America, through suffering , injustices put on them and their ability to overcome.
Black Americans paved the way so that Asian Americans could succeed in this racist country of ours.

BLM and Stop Asian Hate doesnt have to be exclusive beliefs.

But I know why you big mad. You're big mad because your cornball tactics didnt work on @JPS . It didnt work on me two years ago, and its not working now.

Any further post of yours on here will be seen as the ranting of a cowardly delusional fool like your boy khufu.

We heard this I'm part Asian lie before. Just like how Khufu had two daughters, in the military and a doctor by age 26. Keep the lies and that blood pressure up for us Asians.

Im down for true allyship, not division. Thats why DC is an ally.

The age old statement in music discussions sales =/= quality. And you’d suprised how many people are out here “making stuff”.

Who forgave him for those comments?

All i’m saying is around these parts, you can demean/talk down on black people and black culture to your hearts content.

Just don’t try to do the same about anyone else.

Do we have the power to freeze folks from making a living? I don't think that responsibility falls on us.

This is a level of delusional hating I've haven't encountered before.

I know dozens of people that can chop up beats, flip samples, etc... It's literally the version of making beats that requires the least amount of talent, as you don't even really need to know how to play any instruments

MPC 3000 is all you need bro.

We are just told that mods can't be everywhere.

But it has always been like that. It is what it is. Just a reflection of the real world.

 

[DripNick]

Sham-bles

 

[Kinfolk]

Are you implying some users are using this situation as a smokescreen to let off takes with racial undertones in them?

Look up his posts regarding Black people.

No surprise that he's relishing at this "free pass".

Methodical Management add this to your file on him

what a cornball take

Add this as well.

I can play the guitar and piano,
Kanye can't.

I guess I'm more talented than Kanye West

I can read music.
Paul McCartney cannot

I guess I'm more talented than Paul McCartney.

I know how to code(JavaScript, CSS, HTML)
Steve Jobs did not.

I guess I'm more talented than Steve Jobs.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

sounds like you two have personal issues with one another? I dont think he's a Wuchi. But again I'm not in the threads as often anymore? Whats going on?

You just caped for him in the other thread patting him on the back saying, "See you aren't racist" after he posted he was an ally.

You can turn a blind eye on the things he does. That's fine. Yall should stick together.

 

[Sumrndmdude!]

Man.

"We" had the power to stop wearing Gucci that we can't afford, we had the ability to not sell out Mercedes benz stadium after a popstar told us that "slavery was a choice".

We can't be mad when other people collectivize when we can't even collectively decide if we were really offended by a gucci t-shirt.

Who are "we" even. From the posts so far some of us are jews, we might be egyptian, if we are born in africa some might not consider you black... a whole damn mess of a narrative.

 

[wavycrocket]

The intended chaos ensues. This was all too predictable.
