  1. Easy. There's a lot of money and no shortage of tech-savvy companies within the GOP. 😎
  2. Folks are already campaigning heavy for 2024. The GOP operatives and bots are trying to keep the Democrats from using former POTUS Obama to mobilize the Black vote. Nevermind that neither party offers anything tangible to Black folks.😎
  3. White media was more than enthusiastic to put her business out there too. Other than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg being heavy in the LBGTQ+ community...the white media is reluctant to broadcast white folks from that community. However, as soon as an AfroAmerican is a member of the alphabet soup community, they're put on blast. Anything anti-Black which includes promoting the alphabet soup community and allowing *illegal* immigration is another tool of racism white supremacy. 😎
  4. The movie was considered a commercial flop when it was released. Definitely not made for TV. YouTube is the main reason we have access to it now. In 2019, a totally different movie entitled The Intruder was made starring Michael Ealy, Meagan Good and Dennis Quaid.😎
  5. Yep. White folks have been repackaging Black music in their own image and likeness for at least 100 years starting with Jazz. They took Blues (Rock & Roll) and Gospel (Country music) and R&B (Pop) to name a few. White folks have even proclaimed Eminem to be the best rapper in Hip-Hop. Saddest part is when n8gglets cosign whatever white folks do. Even worse is black folks begging them for record deals to make music. Insult to injury is white folks determining which Black music can be sold. Black folks' failure to codify anything is the reason we don't own and control our intellectual property. 😎
  6. California Governor Gavin Newsome has selected Democrat Laphonza Butler to temporarily fill Senator Diane Feinstein's former seat: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/01/newsom-senate-pick-butler-00119360 Laphonza Butler will be the 1st Black LBGTQ+ US senator. She's the 3rd Black female senator in US History.😎
  7. Of course, the whole reparations thing in Cali is a joke. The saddest part is that there are Black folks indulging in it. Black leadership out there in Cali should be shutting that sh8t down and pushing to make it a federal case. The issue of reparations is just one example of how AfroAmericans are off code.😎
  8. That's because Conservatives aren't really interested in hearing anything intellectual from Black folks. They just them to validate their racism.😎
  9. Ice Cube is definitely an intelligent dude. He's always been about his business too i.e. hustle. In fact, it was Ice Cube who 1st peeped that Jerry Heller was a snake and robbing NWA blind. Ice Cube bounced from the group. It took everyone else a minute to get the memo. Kanye would be best served to just go back into the studio working on music; laying low and keeping his mouth shut. 😎
  10. They say most folks have a price at which they can be bought. MC Ren and DJ Yella never made it beyond NWA. I wonder if it's because they didn't sellout.😎
  11. This just goes to show Black folks have no code whatsoever. Kanye should not have put Ice Cube out there. At the same time, Ice Cube and those dudes shouldn't be on camera talking about it either. Black folks shouldn't air their dirty laundry or grievances in public. No other group of people sells their differences and dysfunction on air for entertainment. 😎
  12. @Pioneer1, maybe guilt ate him up but 30 years is a long time. Maybe he's sick and wants the state to take care of him.🤣 It's interesting that he was never killed despite knowing what happened in Vegas.😎
  13. Jesse Lee Peterson is straight hustling as a bootlick and shill. Same goes for Candace Owens. She's a journalistic prostitute. I find it amusing that white folks will use Thomas Sowell for his anti-Black rhetoric but they never consult with him about economics which is supposed to be his expertise.😎
  14. I forgot to mention Larry Elders. He's still alive and eligible for adoption.😁😎
  15. Sure. There have been a few conscience artists who've had success. Some messages do sell. As you mentioned, religion is a great example of it. Popular music has never been about selling messages. It's all about entertainment. Folks who want to get paid follow suit. Messages may "outweigh music and entertainment in the long run" but it will be hard to find positive messages in popular music. That's not what they're selling.😎
  16. @Pioneer1, white folks are actually the biggest consumers of Hip-Hop music. If rappers are giving out marching orders, white folks aren't falling in line.🤣 Dysfunctional human beings are products of their environment. They don't need music and movies to set them off 😎
  17. Suspect didn't do any favors for himself by running his mouth. Almost like he asked to be arrested. 😎
  18. @Pioneer1, the thread is about music. Messages in music have always been a harder sell. There's never been a shortage of deep music. But, it won't be found on the Billboard chart. Again, from an entertainment perspective, most people like the McDonalds equivalent of music...nice beat and catchy lyrics. If someone was to put a Farrakhan speech over a strong beat, nigglets eyes would glaze over and they would find something else to listen to and/or do. As an aside, the 1st Million Man March message was 28 years ago. Almost 3 decades ago, most of the brothas who were at the March have probably forgotten the message.🤣 From a musician's perspective, I wish that Black music contained more positive messages and instructions for getting our people on code.😎
  19. Bingo. *If* such entities exist, they would not have physical bodies or aircraft. They would be like spirits. If the spirit decided to take on a human or animal form and fly around...I believe that's called reincarnation.🤣😎
  20. They are entertainers. No group of people considers artists, musicians and athletes leaders of a community. These folks are influencers. Not leaders. There's a difference. It can be argued that some AfroAmericans spend way too much time being entertained.😎
  21. Don't be too frustrated. The streetz already knew what really happened in these cases. Most of the folks involved are already dead too. This arrest just brings the public a step closer to closure.😎
  22. From the moment this old dumb azz nigglet started running his mouth, I knew it was only a matter of time before he would get arrested: https://apnews.com/article/tupac-shakur-killing-duane-keefe-davis-vegas-3f7050c2a68813d86a96b96fbb3f1d1a The million dollar question is will he start singing like a bird and point fingers at everyone else involved to include solving the Notorious BIG murder too. It's been almost 30 years since Tupac and Biggie were murdered. There's no statute of limitations on convicting murderers and accomplices. 😎
  23. Senator Tim Scott is another one of those self-hating Black men: This bootlick will do anything to cozy up to white folks. He's only been doing it his entire political career. A snowball stands a better chance of survival in an active volcano than Scott has of becoming POTUS. Sen. Scott is clearly auditioning for a VP or cabinet level position if Orange Julius gets re-elected. Sen. Scott should be Secretary of Interior. He's got his nose so far up white folks azz he can smell their breath. Of course, like Uncle Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Herschel Walker, Herman Cain (RIP) and every other wannabe GOP knee-grow, Sen. Scott's 15 minutes will be up soon enough. I'd slightly like to know who's giving birth to and raising these types of n8gglets. But, I've seen how it happens. Still a d8mn shame. 😎
  24. Jay-Z rose from the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, NYC to becoming a Hip-Hop icon. It's awesome that Jay-Z's hometown library has an exhibit on him especially while he's still in the prime of his life. Jay-Z is to music what Denzel Washington is to theater/cinema. They're both extremely talented masters of their craft and highly respected in the entertainment business. Jay-Z turned his pen and word play into a billion dollar business enterprise. That's no small feat. A young person would be well served in applying Jay-Z's hustle in their own positive endeavors. 😎
  25. That's hilarious. 🤣 Black leadership would have to consist of several people representing the interests and diversity of the race.😎
