with all this shyt surrounded ASAP the past year from Rocky and Ferg to something i found out last night from someone, they are officially BUSHES status to me.

Bari and other Asap members, i think a few years back came to someone and asked them how they could further the ASAP brand further and ASAP presented the idea of reigniting a EAST COAST VS WEST Coast beef. what happened is Asap picked Odd Future (which explains the past lil beef they had) and beat up a member of Odd Future. Odd Future called up Freddie Gibbs and then Freddie Gibbs gave ASAP a call and pretty much was like "whats good" and they were shook and fell back.. until a year or something later at SXSW ASAP tried reigniting the beef, but Odd Future actually has goons in Texas so they weren't shook and were ready to go but Schoolboy Q pretty much told them, nah "this aint happening, this is my show and we're all TDE tonight:aicmon:"

Rocky my guy but i got a feeling he's going to end up digging a deeper hole for himself in this.
I understand his argument though.

Dudes playing dumb out here :manny:

We're ALL black out here. Its tiring to continually be asked to just be out here fighting. A lot of people really just want to be free to not be burdened.

I don't necessarily agree, but to say he doesn't get it, is also flawed.

He's not on some Charles Barkley shyt.

To be fair...I don't dig red lipstick on my dark/brown skin sisters either ....looks wack to me. Matter of fact, that whole red lipstick shyt is some Anglo shyt to begin with.:yeshrug:

I have yet to figure out what it is about ASAP Rocky that gets so many people fired up on The Coli.

jealousy + fear of the unfamiliar

Jealous of Rocky's vision, voice, looks, "overnight" success without having to pander for cosigns/spend years making shytty mixtapes

Fear of Rocky's unfamiliar sound and fashion

I don't know what ya'll want.

We all black out here. I get his point. I don't agree with it, but this shyt gets tiring sometimes. Some people really just want to try and live their lives.
Fame brings it's responsibilities too tho...he doesn't have to speak out, at least I don't need him too. But he wanted to be a star to matter in life and society ...at least a part of him did, so he does now....so he can't escape the entirety of what that means, people wanna know where he stands. He has fans, some who deal with brutality...they wanna know. We all wanna live and relax, I'm sure many did in the 60's 50's and during slavery but that's why we call it bravery now isn't it. You can't be young, black, famous AND PASSIVE...that just ain't gonna work in today's America.

I don't disagree with you.

But not everyone knows how to handle the burden. It breaks people in different ways.

You can tell he cares, but you can tell he's scared cause he doesn't know how to fix it.

Black people want a society of equality, fewer want black supremacy.

Rocky knows whats going on, but that burden causes people to break and he doesn't know how to handle it. Thats why he just wants to live his life.

I don't agree with him...but I get it.

He's not on some Charles Barkley shyt.

no ones continually asking him to do shyt. all the OG interviewer asked was if he felt pressure and he went on some bullshyt ignorant ass rant. all he had to said was "no, but im not really trying to be political, fukk the police though" and kept it moving. instead of sounding like an elitist all lives matter blah blah blah i dont see color piece of shyt.

but im not surprised your fake intellectual ass would cape for dude.

no ones saying Rocky has to be on his Chuck D, Public Enemy shyt.. but him and ASAP mob members dont even wanna discuss the shyt publically, just wanna continue kissing white peoples ass to move up in the fashion world and not step on toes. dude really said hes helpoing out black youth, which is true.. wont deny that. hes given and helped plenty of young black kids but that shyt don't matter when those kids can still be shot down by the police over bullshyt. he completely sold out. went from calling people crackers, slipping in some semi political lines relating to white supremacy and the oppression of black people, especially poor black people to getting some money, modelling for white brands and magazine.. now thinking because white people accepted some black guy with braids and grills that shyt is cool and dandy when its not.

he just wants to hide behind drugs, fashion and girls while black men and women are being killed in the streets and think cause hes not a poor black kid anymore that it isn't his issue to worry about, when he used to be that same poor black kid in the hood dealing with racism from teachers etc

nothing worse than someone who goes from the struggle to being an elitist vapid a$$hole.

Funny becuz I really don't think he "gets it". Not out of shear ignorance, but I truly believe he doesn't understand racism and it's existence. He's a true liberal, thru in thru.

With that said, it doesn't excuse the buffoonish shyt he initially said. That shyt was dumb. Gotta have more tact when speaking on these kinda issues.

For him I just hopes when the dust settles from all of this his standing is respectable enough that he can continue. Honestly, I think he'll be aight tho.

bruh...I can never look at another black man and say they don't understand racism.

He's basically saying, I'm not trying to be a leader. This shyt is a huge burden and I don't think I should be leading it.

So let me guess this straight.

He makes a comment saying he'll rather rap about drugs and clothes than speak on black people getting killed by police:jbhmm:

Decides to go on The Breakfast Club to clear up that statement:jbhmm:

During the interview he says that him being the first black male to model for D'ior is proof that he does a lot for black people:jbhmm:

This nikka's lost:mjlol:
