:salute:Props for posting these vids breh, good shyt from all parties presented. I especially loved the part where Chuck commented on how Black people NEED music in order to function and work because its part of our soul!! :ohlawd: That shyt really hit home with me, glad to dedicate 2 hours of my time to that knowledge.


He said a lot but basically how Hot 97, it's hosts and summer jam didn't disrespect Chuck D but disrespected hip hop in general. He gave a lot of good examples and really broke down the big picture of why this has occurred. The media's racists tendencies and the historical background and implications of this well.


Must watch videos.

Cormega makes a very small speech in the vid too. Lmaooooooooo

yeah you can tell he's still in the infancy stage of his enlightenment but its still good to see. :obama:

OMG... ME TOO! I felt the same way when Chuck said that about us needing music to function. I instantly knew exactly what he meant! :blessed:



And Cormega appears to really be upping his leadership and intellectual game right before our eyes. So great to see.:ahh:

This should have been sticked, this is where we need to respect our elders and pioneers and give them more chances to be heard. Cause talking important shyt.

More people are concerned about Ross being fake and Gucci Mane's latest run-in with the law before they hear knowledge from Chuck D

Watching now, Chuck is on point so far. As I've said I still disagree with the "white takeover" narrative and conspiracies, but he's right about shytting on Hot 97. Ebro can talk metrics all he wants, the fact is that his station is about to get shytcanned because the ratings aren't where the corporation wants them to be. So they flail around and prostitute themselves by making outrageous comments to gain attention, or doing reality shows (since everyone likes reality shows right!).

shyt is so simple, and I'm tired of seeing people fall for it. Ebro always does the same thing: he makes an aggressive, ignorant attack on something. This sparks a "conversation" on social media, and sooner or later the person or representative of the thing he dissed comes on his show...and then a relationship is formed, and he expands into whatever thing he once dissed. We saw him do this most recently with battle rap. Just a few months ago he said battle rap was corny. Then he brought battle rappers/promoters on the show to "argue." And now Ebro is MCing battle rap events. Thank god Chuck D didn't fall for this shyt.

And SMH @ at the god Buckshot. I hate seeing him fall for Ebro's shyt, and allow himself to be debased on live radio. He gets invited onto the show to be belittled - so Ebro can tout numbers and metrics and tow the company line.
