Ice Cube's corny ass is standing next to inanimate beer cans with fake snow on them. One of the most awkward sellouts from my youth, who will always have black people spin weird, empty rationalizations about how he never sold out, he just "matured." nikka is a lame.

Says the man who has never made questionable decisions in life. I'm sure people don't change their opinions ever. U clowns are unbelievable, I wish we had all your life moves documented so we can pick apart your life and where u sold out. If u got a damn job u sold out. Unless you own a business which is a self entirely u sold out. I'm sure u don't enjoy everything u do to earn money. Let's stop being short sighted. Stop putting ridiculous expectations on others you don't have yourself. Artists are humans.... Conflicted, hypocritical, humans like the rest of us.

Would it have made it more acceptable if they stuck real beers in real snow... Would that ease your mind better? :what: lol@ being mad at the props in a commercial :snoop:

the internet
it was a total different time period.
That was the vibe back then...and the world is different, and people grow up.

Unlike some of the fake revolutionaries on this site I grew up right around the corner from Farrakhan, spent a lot of time in those black book stores (got tutored for awhile by those folks), and been around people in the NOI my whole life.
Most of them mean well, but holding that kind of hate is not good, and doesnt allow you to grown.
I understand it though because the previous generation (people now 50+) had to really go through it....so its only natural that the folks raised by them carried that on.

The difference is that people like Cube had the sense to grow past all that and see the world for how it really is, instead of maintaining that hateful outlook on life. The people still stuck in the past end up resenting the Cubes of the world because they feel they should still hate every white person and not make a living in the "white world".

Cube is #2 on my list because I listened to him nonstop growing up...and he is a perfect example of a black man that has gone through the stages many of us go through. Unfortunately too many of us get stuck in the "Cave bytch" mindset and never grow.

Imagine a platinum selling rapper standing next to a man like that in 2012...The p*ssyfication of America and hip hop culture in general wouldn't allow that anymore...

:yeshrug: times were different back then.....

in 2012 most rappers are trying to go "Pop"....and get them endorsement deals

plus it's more convuluted now...you not just fighting "MR. CHARLEY aka WHITEY"

we have a slew of globlists and bankers who clearly define the STATUS QUO and thier are very few rappers who are willing to FIGHT against that cause they realize HOW DIFFICULT it is to MOBLIZE niccas , when every nicca has a selfish motive based on thier own insecurities....

one of them being I MIGHT GET KILLED :weirdo: or LOCKED THE FUKK UP i.e (tupac, david hyatt)

shutting out certain sides of the conversation is as american as apple pie, look at how limited the american political spectrum is...now-a-days the term "socialist" is thrown out like a dirty word rather then a mode of government used successfully in other various places in the world. you have a choice between 1a and 1b...the conversation is extremely limited and not all voices are heard

i just disagree vehemently with the voice in question. anyone who can sit there and deny the events of the holocaust...who is an advocate of genocide...who cannot seperate the police officers sent to break up his rally as PEOPLE from the institution they work for...who can call for the participants of his rally to beat the officers with rails...to shoot them with their own guns...who can no longer recognize that those are people too...individuals who exist outside those institutions...that's someone who has lost touch with human beings and i'm not sure giving them a higher platform with which to perpetuate those beliefs is the best idea...do i think he should be outright silenced, no, but i can stand behind someone distancing themselves him

this is going to turn into a "cop killer" discussion real fast
Why is it that black people are supposed to take the high road all the time?

I heard rumors that this guy was told he would be straight just as long as he didn't mention his pops at all. Anyone know anything about that? And what was up his his pops death? I saw a video that Steve Cokely did where he was talking about a previous assassination attempt on him. Then they got him. Any connection to the speech he did that got him kicked out of the NOI?

No that's called using his platform as a brand to make more money for his family. How is investing in business ventures being a sellout?
