The problem is you online nikkas just hate women..

Yall nikkas are fukkin weird.

I could care less about any a this shyt like that. She telling her story..

You online nikkas hate women that’s the bottom line

I'm defending women (Jill Scott and Erykah Badu) by asking for proof of the shyt Jaguar Wright is saying.
Look through my post history and see if I hate women. We can set up a ban bet. You weirdos log into The Coli and type out whatever pops into your imagination. :mjlol:

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.


Erykah is a piece of shyt, but I'm not even getting into that bag.

As far as Black Thought, I think shorty is taking something that's technically true and turning it into something much bigger. I'm sure it's true that Thought and Malik stayed sparring, freestyling, and recording random verses and here and there Thought might've liked the sound of a line Malik spit and incorporated it into his verse. But it's a stretch to believe Thought doesn't write his rhymes. Dice Raw probably helps with hooks and concepts here and there too. That's what happens in a collective. But cats penning full verses and albums? I took that with a gigantic grain of salt.

this. couple that with Malik forgetting lines and shyt, I don't think it's a stretch to say Thought used a line a dope line here and there. But straight up penning shyt for Thought on some shyt nikkaz do for Kanye, Dre, and Drake is a whole nother level.

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.

Eh, a lot of this is chatty patty shyt and unrelated to Malik B. That said there is probably a lot of truth to it. Let's be honest, The Roots and Questlove in particular always moved like businessmen. The shyt they did with taking advantage of some folks or underpaying them and whatnot is really not any different from how a Jay did Dame and cohorts.

But a lot of it is exaggerated too. Some folks already spoke on it but Thought is too much of a natural spitter that I don't buy the ghostwriter shyt. I wouldn't be one bit surprised though if Dice Raw helped out a lot with choruses and concepts since Thought is generally just a straight forward MC (think 50 Cent creating most of the hooks on The Documentary). And back in the day I definitely believe the crew would just bounce lines of one another.

Anyway, unless it's some outright deplorable shyt I could care less how they move behind the scenes. The industry is what it is and luckily I don't have to deal with it.

Exactly bro. That’s all I’m saying. This is the type of shyt I’m talking about. I’m pretty sure there’s a shred of truth to everything but not to the magnitude of what she’s saying.

Dice Raw addressed it and shut her ass all the way down.
