I don’t care for black people like that, I don’t wanna be around them, only thing worse than a nikka is another nikka- Kevin Gates

[Whatupdoe?]

Wrong messenger.

Especially after his whole Lebron fiasco.

When I hear him talk I get reminded of that In Living Color skit where Damon Wayans is the convict behind bars talking gibberish.

I really hate how society chooses who's opinions should be heard.

Beat me to it.

He's not completely off base but his wording comes straight from the white supremacy handbook. He promoted it nonstop when he was hot but now he's relegated to smart dimb nikka status. shyt, if anything, his cousins need to be afraid of him with his cousin fukkin ass

Still A Brother: Inside the Negro Middle Class



It's a long video but is OKOP in a nutshell.

- Debutante Cotillions
- The Girlfriends
- John Johnson
- Earl dikkerson
- Collier Heights
- Westchester Co., NY
- Oak Bluffs
- Percy Julian
- St. Clare Drake
- Howard University
- Omega Psi Phi
- Episcopal Church


Some of it is very cringe. For the first time, I can see why some black folks have reservations about this group. There was certainly a real element of detachment among some members of the OKOP set and the broader black largesse. I've personally observed the shockingly large social gulf between upper class blacks and the larger black underclass, but I've never heard anyone talk about it, where they do so in this film so candidly and even go on to say that they identify more with whites....basically the charge that many "boule haters", especially on this site, have levied against them.

two years earlier but still......

If a nikka support Gates then thats on them. Buddy lame af to me and his music aint that good

He bushed his wife for a thot the nikka was more famous for being on the internet than his music so that tells you all you need to know.

Dude is in the content space basically he’s a Temu version of Charleston White.

He is completely off base if you want to give him some grace what he means is his momma raised ass should’ve been killed so they his community could be great.

Lot of folks cosigning in here So Chris Rock was right?

A couple of years ago y'all practically crucified him for his "nikkas vs. black folks" bit from the 90's

He wasn’t wrong, but he was wrong for saying it in front of the white/mainstream audience

He’ll be on stage at the RNC 2028

The United States has done a number on black folks.

And most don't even recognize how they've been brainwashed.

The money hungry are the ones that hate their own.

Decades and decades of black American people not being in control of their financial situation, because they are seeking finances from the ones that really hate them, has really messed the community up.

Rapping about killing each other because you want to make money.

Idiotic.

they were worse. don't let the black power movement fool you.

They can get mad all they want but you have a point. Statistically they committed FAR more crimes, especially murder, than black people today. Violent gangs, drug trade, etc peaked in that decade. The same violence, factionalism and drugs that played a part in stifling the black power movement btw.

Nostalgia and documentaries really do stop people from looking at the bigger picture.

Reading this thread is kinda interesting because a lot of you are oblivious to how you're just like him to certain degrees; in particular, threads regarding specific topics, some of you spew and project the same anti-Black sentiments.

Sometimes, acting like you're better than, too good to be around Black people, y'know like your shyt don't stink, not just in regards to finances and living situation, but in the sense of morals, y'know, like you're morally better than because you don't do “this or that” on some “best behavior” shyt.

A segment of y'all are blind and unaware of how stereotypical and prejudiced you can be at times towards Black people as well, similar to Gates.

Some of y'all, supposedly Black and all, have a tendency to go overboard with this overanalyzing and criminalization, racial stereotypes, and prejudiced biases and attitudes reminiscent of cacs whenever there's a topic surrounding a black person being seen or found doing something considered wrong.

These topics give insight into how some on this site feel about Black people despite being Black themselves, a bunch of Black people stereotyping and being prejudicially biased towards their own.

Muni Long and now Kevin Gates

Where their parents from?

 

[JasoRockStar]

Malcolm X is one of the greatest black men to exist but one unintended effect about that is now every ex-convict who finally opened a book in prison thinks they can be some kind of intellectual thought leader for our community.



You've been a complete dumbass your entire life, stop thinking that you can give any sort of quality opinion or analysis on black people.
