"I love hip hop alot more than I love Michael Jordan" -Jalen Rose :banderas:

[FlyRy]

I'm not referring to any circle actually, so find another argument. the problem is, this topic clearly just isn't for you.

case in point, sneakers are sneakers. just because you rock somebodys sneakers, it doesn't necessarily mean that youre a fan. theres millions of people rockin jordans that don't watch a lick of basketball.

I keep a pair of Js in rotation. bootlegged but still. and I havnt been a fan of mike since like '93, and I wasn't even rockin his sneakers back then. you see how this works?

You said only mainstream america was rockin with him. But if you wanna talk about it from a black/and or hood aspect those shoes were everywhere. Iverson was rockin them in college along with other stars. Boyz II men wore em to the grammys. Kevin garnett wore them as a rookie.

But yea they weren't fukking with MJ

shyt SLAM magazine pretty much owes its entire existence to MJ.

I'm really not sure what you're arguing breh

Jordan don't like nikkas and rap. 2 cultures he owe his sales to



Then he gave an alllivesmatter kinda response "I love all music" couldn't even be specific

What's the big deal? Ypu think Obama likes future and a lot of other dudes? Older dudes see rap as a problem thst related to crime.

Also you think alot of these folks don't get old and switch up? Change their voice and change up their style? Harley barley Karl Malone I'm sure most of them who accomplished something g have the same mindset. To be honest most hip hop appeals to the youth thst most educated America assumes is the problem.

Jordan is who he is, look back at how he dressed in the 90s does he look like a dude that can relate to the youth? Didn't Oprah run away from the hood and build a school in Africa? Cmon now.

Let's keep it real Jordan is just dumb enough to speak on it.

Redman > Jordan






(What popped it off)

Nike is washed. MJ never shows love to those that pad his pockets and he supports the prison system...as a black man


I don't really care if he likes hip hop or not...I know nikkas killed his daddy...and I know that has effect on his position...but truly he is on some sucka shyt. Can't rock wit him right now

I don't even know what the 11s are. I'm not a sneakerhead. but I know Jordan didn't design them chits and I doubt he had any input in the designs. so what is the logic in you even bringing them up?

Breh, those millions of people cop Jordans because Jordan's the man. Yeah, most don't watch basketball now, hell most didn't watch then... they just fukk with Jordan. You don't even need to watch basketball to know of his accomplishments either. They're posted everywhere.

The hood (when I say 'hood', I really mean urban culture globally) doesn't rock with just anyone's sneaker. There's more comfortable, more affordable options out there. It's not like shoe options average around $200 and up. If you're buying a pair of Jordans, you're a fan. You don't have to be a sneakerhead, Jordans are a status symbol. Why are they a status symbol? Because the hood fukks with Jordan HEAVY. He was the GOAT athlete for years, why wouldn't they?

Sneakers are sneakers. Then, there's Jordans. Again, people fukk with Jordans because they fukk with Jordan.

I don't know how you could argue that mainstream doesn't or didn't fukk with Jordan like that. It's absurd.

Just flabbergasted that this is even an argument.

I do gotta give it to Jordan tho... he is a master troll.

No one else on the planet at that time could go to the Def Jam party, make Redman & Method Man stand in line to see them and then say "fukk rap" and decline to even speak with them...

Like, imagine if Steph Curry showed up at a Young Money party... then Drake and Lil Wayne waited in line to say whats up to him... then as they got to the front of the line he said "fukk Rap" and sent them away.
You'd swear it was a prank or something. Why was he even there?

 

[spliz]

funny how people are claiming that I'm speaking for a small circle when yall are the ones that are stock in small group think and cant fathom the idea of anybody not worshipping Michael Jordan.

I luv threads like these. LOL.





aint nobody god in the hood.

man, yall on some fantasy stannery nonsense now.

Son u wrong as fukk in this argument and u still arguing? Lol. Everyone knows people that didn't fukk wit MJ. But that is not the MAJORITY bruh. It's a minority. Simple as that. And it ain't got shyt to do wit mainstream. I mean this is one of the most obviously horrible arguments ive seen someone try to make on here and theres a reason u ain't bringing this shyt to the official Coli forum. Lol. I know lil nikkas back then that used to cry when that nikka lost a game real talk. Lol

Jordan sneakers still sell out to this day. Mainly to urban youth that never even saw him play.

Brehs screen name is apt. Cuz he spouting some wacky shyt

 

[Insensitive]
