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

[AFRAM GLORY]

Where you heard this? Probably true tho bc there’s a Project pat x The Roots song out there. Haven’t heard it in a minute tho

Way back then in either xxl or blaze magazine. Thought was telling the writer how he was always kicking it in the South with those cats.

She's throwing haymakers cause her career ain't shyt.
She's BEEN waiting for an opportunity to let these embellished thoughts out. What does she have to lose n who's going to bother enough to fact check her

So she's spilling her guts but can't get herself to call Malik B an addict which he clearly was.
That sounds like selective memory/reasoning. Which means you have an agenda

All this proves to me is that nikkas like gossip more than chicks. Like. nikkas is dead taking EVERYTHING this chick is saying for face value when she clearly has some personal issues. Shorty spent the whole time putting dirt on other people name and the blame in everyone else’s hands. And since she’s less popular. People are obsessed with people automatically believing the underdog. Corny.

She says right off top that son was suffering from addiction.

Facts, great stories from Musiq

The story about him meeting Bilal for the first time had me

 

[Starburst]

gotta remember... white ppl look older than you think they are if you're black. no offense.

I understand however Jaguar made it clear that the woman in question was actually in her 60’s

 

[Starburst]

M-Illitant was an addict, and kept getting booked. He was in jail more than not. That was his demon to conquer. He also had stints in recovery, halfway & transitional housing.

That doesn’t mean, or should excuse being screwed over by his band mates.

The Roots were mainly a touring band, especially then. They toured like 300 days a year. He couldn't tour with them, so...He did still pop up on some albums here and there...so it's not like they completely abandoned him. He was on Rising Down, booked for How I Got Over, not on Undun, MIA for And Then You'll Shoot Your Cousin. In between booked, I think he did the Mr Green project when he came home again, and then with Beard Gang (Jakk Frost, Free, Tana, Reef) in between. He wasn't on stuff with them during that time either.

A lot of people caping for the Roots in here obviously did not listen to even 3 minutes of this IG

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Nothing she said is shocking foul or exposing anything important. she's just snitching. Also using Malik's death to air out past grievances.

A garbage human.

The Roots (specifically Questlove) seem to do sheisty business with other artists who have a perceived loyalty to them. There’s the widely known Jill/Erykah switcharoo on You Got Me. The fact that all the original members are out except Tariq and Ahmir never sat right with me. I definitely believe these Jaguar Wright stories as well. Also, y’all should listen to the Questlove Supreme podcast episode with Musiq Soulchild.

Musiq didn’t hold back, and he was calling nikkas out. Apparently, The Roots tried to get several other singers to sing “Break You Off”, despite the fact that Musiq helped create the song in a jam session with them. After they got stood up or turned down by a bunch of different artists, they were like, “well we might as well have Musiq do it.” Quest pretty much kept saying on the podcast that “we (the Roots) aren’t the best communicators.”

That’s kind of a lame excuse, especially when you’re dealing with people who had loyalty to you. All the people I mentioned are from Philly, and know the Roots members beyond the industry shyt. We already know Quest is a lying ass nikka from the Rosario Dawson thread.

What’s your point?

Listen to the Jill Scott episode.

He was tap dancing like a muthafukka up there too.

Quest is a dirt bag.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Also not a fan of throwing people under the bus who ain’t really do shyt to u but they was around. That shyt comes off petty and when people do shyt like that I question their moral standing.

right answer

people love this type of drivel though but in reality it's no way that all these people and their associates are terrible but you are the righteous one

she is literally snitching on anything she ever saw them do. her motivations have nothing to do with honoring Malik. This is all about HER.
