"We are retarded...we feel we need another CULTURE to validate us as BLACK PEOPLE" -DAME DASH

[Wild self]

this is a result of assimilation, and it's why we're worse off now than we were perhaps even just 20 years ago.

The black kids of today can listen to Katy Perry and Euro shyt with no problem and no one looks at them strangely. 20 years ago, black kids were forced to conform to Hip Hop and R & B because it was so good. Now, black kids do anything and think that they white folks now.

 

[Pifferry]

When rappers rather be rock stars and dressing like Euros than innovate, you have a problem. Most 90s and 00s babies act like stereotypical white folks.

What's acting white?

What's acting white?

The stereotypical white girl valley accent. I don't mind black people expanding their horizons, but not at the cost of being stereotypes of another culture.

So you're saying that as black people they should be forced to conform to two genre's of music and not expand there horizon's and interests because that's a betrayal of black culture and is bad for them in the end?
Is it not possible for black people to like things that are apart of mainstream american culture or even counter culture and still maintain their identity as a black person?
Are you advocating conformity? Because forcing people to conform doesn't make them appreciate the thing they're being forced to enjoy of surround themselves with but instead makes them resentful and pushes them away towards the white people you speak of.

Tyler the Creator

Tyler the Creator c00ns but he doesn't act white.
What's wrong with his actual personality? Where is the line drawn between acting white and being black?
Are you saying that they have to have a certain personality type?

If you mistaken my words, I correct them now. I said that back in the 90s, black kids were literally boxed in because Hip Hop as at its prime. It is both a good thing and a bad thing (conformity), but that was how it was back then. I don't mind black kids expanding their horizons, but not at the cost of them being delusional and thinking that everything is sweet.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

dame made a good point..that Jay definitely is conscious of his perception mainly because of his euro/jew check sponsers...

such as Irving Azoff formerly of Live Nation/Ticketmaster, who helped Jay-z formulate his ROC NATION brand....

...when Kanye fired Irv Azoff as his consultant for the Yeezus Tour ....

ye's and jay-z relationship changed dramatically...didn't even show up at kanye's marriage....

why did he fire him?

Ah okay now I understand

Let's not put this on the 90's babies tbh. You have to understand that American society is progressing, plus let's keep in mind the people behind the businesses now a days were born in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, so if anything these innovators have set the tone for us 90's and 00's kids.

But I'll disregard your statement because with such a generalization, I can tell that it's just frustration that your targeting mindlessly.

Not to mention, black men in America didn't just start wearing Gucci and such in the 00's, they also didn't start selling each other out in the 00's.

I'd rather you educate yourself and your peers than slander a group of people, That's not what adults do bro.

Some ways you are right, but we are going from one extreme to another. Its like we black folks can't be humble, levelheaded people that can work together and get shyt done. Its either we superthugs or we are mentally weak ass people.

true...people get "blinded" by his emotion and the conflicts with Jay-z ...but hands down he is one of the MOST IMPORTANT business moguls to ever come out the black community in terms of his intentions and willingness to share so much of the inner workings of the relationships blacks have with corporate America...

his perspective on Distribution in regards to liquor, music and clothing is very interesting

Cedric Muhammad: Do you think, Dame, that there is more unity required to overcome the distribution issues that you are dealing with in music, movies and alcohol...

Dame Dash: Yeah...

Cedric Muhammad: Who are some of the people that you are looking to link up with and what are the type of business minds that it would require to get over this hump?

Dame Dash: I feel like it is kind of hard because everybody is trying to get in where they fit in, you know what I'm saying? And as established as people may seem, they are still on shaky ice. So they have their own things that they gotta deal with. Like right now, I haven't gotten the opportunity to address the distribution issue in the music industry because it would take alot of energy and effort. I will probably get back to that when I can. It is important that I do. I am happy that I got to make money my way, but when you get into distribution, it gets a little gangster, you know what I'm saying?

(laughter between both Dame Dash and Cedric Muhammad)

Dame Dash: You've got to be really serious about going for distribution and getting it done. And it is hard to put someone in that position.
