Bun B ol friendly ass in a Colgate commercial, Chad doing summersalts in the grave

[OG Talk]

Funny thread..




I actually strangely agree with both sides of this ridiculous argument...


I think Bun acted like an emasculated c00n and I feel like yall are emasculated c00ns for calling him out on it..


The dualities

Legit was about to post something so similar it's eerie. Both sides are taking it to the extreme, but both have points. I definitely felt uncomfortable at several moments, and will pretend I never saw this shyt.

The problem I always have when these topics pop up is that people either lack the nuance to understand, or are genuinely just ignorant about the whole "talking white" stuff...the same thing happened in that kanye/mama kharadashian interview thread...people start to conflate speaking articulately and with proper grammar with this silly ass feigned accent and softened voice sh!t that black folks do that has roots in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but racial insecurity...like if you were to bring in professionally trained linguists, I'd bet cash money they wouldn't be able to identify the accent Bun was speaking in in that commercial because it's some made up sh!t invented in Bun's subconscious meant to mimic what he considers to be a generic white person's voice ...there's no shortage of footage of Bun speaking 100% articulately and professionally, but in his actual real life speaking voice and not this ridiculous "white person voice" he has going here...this had the potential to be embarrassing as fukk, but he was spared by it's brevity...a longform interview length clip of Bun doing this shyt would have been

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! ppl aint even taking vocal inflections into account.... where'd the bass go Bun? T.I. and 50 are two examples of dudes who LOVE to talk 'corporate' for no damn reason at any chance they get BUT they dont stop sounding like themselves.... how many 10 dollar words do Cliff and Curtis use per interview but they never get lookd at funny for it?

Powerful posting.

Plenty of Black actors have been doing this on screen since time immemorial. Everyone from Cuba Gooding to Idris Elba. They play a smart, successful, professional nikka and for some reason the default is a standard stand up routine black-comedian-doing-corny-white-guy-voice. It's uncanny, and disturbing.

 

[ThaRealness]

Exactly... that's such a big part of why that ad, and Bun's presentation of himself are so curious.

That's not Bun. That's not the public image that Bun consistently presents, and it's something, despite his likeable nature, that I thought he rejected.

It's almost as if, and I think another poster mentioned this, they were trying to emasculate him.

if Steve-O had a part in a primetime commercial, you think he'd be running around in a loincoth with his balls hanging out?

Hip hop takes compromising to be presentable in a mainstream setting. Im sure Bun B has already had to compromise his lifestyle choices to settle into parenthood and all that shyt. It's not like hes selling out for the commercial.

 

[BrothaZay]

Intereview- Does that feel natural

Bun B- *nasal cac voice* Not at allll

Ironic

lol @ u fagggots defending this

 

[YourMajesty]

C'mon Bun.

This can't be the same nikka who made this

Spoiler
