Jaguar Wright on IG goes off about The Roots and Malik B

[MVike28]

I dunno, ask her. She's the one making the claims. The burden of proof is on her.

Fred.

why are you trying so hard to hang on to the purity of these dudes

this is more than believable

 

[Rekkapryde]

She said something about Hub having/had cancer without any heath insurance/or it was cancelled or something to that effect. . I lost track of breh once he left the group. I hope he's good. Breh is nice on the bass, his work on the jazzyfatnastees album is still

Wow thats some bullshyt, I hope he was compensated, just thinking about all of the classic basslines breh laid out on those records is

A lot of what Jag was said resonated with me. I was on that scene for a minute (I ain't have the patience or disposition for it) and it was bozo central. Non-stop frontin, embarrassing materialism, performative blackness... nikkas were so worthless and dysfunctional. Some of y'all been sitting online for years deflecting and rationalizing for utter doofuses you aint never gonna meet, and who wouldn't pass you a sunflower seed and a cup of water if you were in their presence. These nikkas be lames by the most basic block standards, and ya'' stay putting them on pedestals. Meanwhile, they constantly let you know exactly who they are through their actions and yall cling to these total myths of these cats being provocative thinkers and standup humans.

My track record here speaks for itself - told yall about the hulk hogan n-word scandal almost a full day before the story came out, and the traffic damn near crippled the coli because so many people came to this board for the story; told yall drake had a team of ghostwriters and producers like a decade before it became common knowledge; told yall about kanye 5 years before it was undeniable and even connected him to donald trump way in advance; explained a major college football scandal a decade before the recent exposé popped in the mainstream news. I don't talk on shyt unless I know what I'm talking about.

Jag is spot on with how they played Malik. Tariq has a legit weed addiction and you could say he's an alcoholic too. Her point about them getting high and mighty about other rap nikkas on "What They Do" only to turn around and become glorified butlers for Jimmy Fallon is real deal too. Quest is an absolute fukkboy - he and Talib stood out on that scene as two of the lamest pseudo-intellectual blowhards I'd ever encountered. Some of the most militant and conscious rappers on that scene used to be begging cats who worked at spots like Marc Ecko for free outfits. I helped book mos and talib for a show and their rider was some shyt like 10 bottles of henny and condoms. They performed brown skin lady and dipped with a gaggle of 18-21 year old white women. The Roots stayed in their vans/buses post-show with bum ass white groupies. Everyone familiar with that scene knew they were exploiting and underpaying talent. Common was a doofus and a half. The scene is a mix of megalomaniacs, insecure bougie nikkas performing blackness for white people, and nikkas who talk the most militant and political bullshyt bu are desperately trying to get invites to hobnob with wealthy white socialites. Some of the most insufferable nikkas I've ever been around. And would sell you out for a few pennies at every turn.

I'm sure Jag been through a lot - from navigating the industry, being blackballed, her son being murdered and her close friends dying too young. I hope she finds some peace. Shorty really was a talent and a presence.

I do think they were sharing lines back in the early days. Some of their flows and cadences on Do You Want More are too similar. When I was first getting into them I couldn’t even tell who was rapping sometimes between Dice and Thought

Church. You been telling cats about these nikkaz for the longest indeed. Not shocked at ANY of this shyt. Love their music, but it's entertainment and not who the real person is. Money just exacerbates the fukkery with a lot of these cats. Still funny as hell seeing how hood Jag is. Jill being a big ass hoe, no pun intended, was already kinda known but Jag just put it ALL out there. Thought's fukkery is just normal nikka fukkery to me. Lonnie and his dirtbaggery and fukkery never surprised me. And so many cats been callin Qwest a fukkboi. Malik having drug issues always been out there, but not surprising. Kweli been exposed as a clown. Mos, I dunno what the fukk he even doing nowadays with all his churren out in the world.

"Conscious" nikkaz are still nikkaz at the end of the day, just more underhanded with their shyt on the low.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Based on what?

I don't understand how cats can assume she's telling the truth with no proof. It's legitimately crazy to me.

Her being bitter is a separate point entirely.

She has no proof. Then, on top of that, she comes off as bitter. She could've voiced her opinion about The Roots/Malik B in one Tweet. Or one IG post. Not an hour long video, half of which has nothing to do with what her original point is supposed to be.

Fred.

The hell you talkin about with this proof shyt nikka

You nikkas are weird as hell.

It’s real life out here

I’m not here to defend no fukkin Roots of all people and I BEEN known Quest was a piece of shyt. But all the disrespecting Erykah and Jill for damn near no reason is my issue. When people throw people under the bus for just “being there” I question their motives. And I can’t rock with ANYONE who points the finger at everyone else and can’t recognize any of their own wrongdoing. Another thing I’m iffy on is the Dice Raw/Black Thought shyt. Thought till this day is STILL disgustin on the mic. And shorty ain’t been around these nikkas for damn near 20 years. I just like consistency. I’m not even saying everything she’s saying isn’t true. I just take shyt like this with a grain of salt because me being on the other side of these kind of antics myself I know for sure that people can’t always believe everything they hear from a bitter person.

 

[spliz]

The hell you talkin about with this proof shyt nikka

You nikkas are weird as hell.

It’s real life out here

What he’s saying is shorty is airing out all their shyt in disguise of it being about Malik when in reality this was just a chance for her to air her grievances. It isn’t genuine and when I see shyt like that I always take everything said with a grain of salt. It ain’t even about the Roots. Even Nas was gonna expose them nikkas back in the day and fell back. It’s about the way she going about shyt that makes me question some things.

 

[EBK String]

its always those performative conscious mfs you have to watch

 

[Harry B]

The hard thing about these type of claims is that 34%, 53%, 11% or 90% might be true but you don’t know what. Then you mix in some truth with exaggerations, hearsay and what you think, and pass it all of as the same truth.

I don’t care about all that and you shouldn’t either

People get jerked all the time and get taken advantage of.

If she wanna air nikkas out so what?

“They way she’s going about it”

 

[hex]

why are you trying so hard to hang on to the purity of these dudes

this is more than believable

I doubt you can find 10 posts of mine about The Roots since the site opened.

Ain't copped a Com album since the 3rd one.

Mentioned Jill Scott a few times. Same with Erykah Badu.

Ain't mentioned Jimmy Fallon at all.

So what are you talking about? Make it make sense. I'm saying it's bugged out grown men are choosing to believe an hour long video with literally nothing to back it up. I don't give a fukk who this is about. "Oh, you don't believe this woman ranting for an hour, you must think The Roots are saints". The fukk?

Thank you. Dudes are buying into an hour long video of gossip and calling me weird for not going along with it. The internet is a crazy place.
