Jermaine Shabbaz Cole Protesting in NYC Right Now, (Jay Z remains Silent)

[Hyperion]

I just think it's wild they can take our support for granted the way they do. They expect us to buy their shyt...we can't buy anything if we're shot dead by cops for no reason. There's zero respect or understanding in the artist-fan dynamic anymore.

Because the fans let it happen. Remember, these dudes literally aren't shyt unless we choose to invest in their careers. All that money they flaunt in their music video comes from us. Why should they care about how they treat their fans, when they know those people will buy regardless? That's how they think.

If Jay said or did anything ya'll would just call him a dikk riding f@ggot who loves the attention or accuse him of capitalizing on a tragedy to create a buzz for himself so

Like I've always said I respect him as a person, he seems genuine I just want him to get better and more interesting as a rapper.
And to his credit, he has improved and understood the criticism with each album. Sometimes I wish we could combine Lupe's talent with Cole's drive and amibiton and we would have the true Best MC of this generation who could challenge Drake and Kendrick.

We rooting for the kid always

His new album challenges any project by Drake and Kendrick imo.

Jay the only Black celeb not protesting out in the streets?

This whole thing is bigger than Jay Z not being out there breh. His name doesn't have to be brought up against everything.

Nas commented about in Facebook with the KRS-One quote "you were put here to protect us, but who protects us from you?", also voiced his disgust on Twitter as soon as the Mike Brown decision was announced.

Mobb Deep posted on Facebook "there's a war going on outside no man is safe from...and that war is against young black men!".

Wu-Tang talked about Eric Garner on Facebook as soon as he was announced dead especially given that it happened in Staten Island.

I don't know about the others, but really outside of social media none of these artists are saying nothing. I've only seen J. Cole, Talib Kweli and Killer Mike do real shyt.

If I remember jay went a travon martin rally, but yea they called him a dikk riding faggit for it

i hear you but at this point jay z is beyond rich and has reached the apex of his success. jay z has the power and influence to make a difference yet he did the ho shyt when it came to barney's profiling blacks i gotta call it what it is. if jay z grew balls and said what we all as black people are thinking and feeling right now in a INTELLIGENT way and really took on this issue head on and actually took this opportunnity for some powerful black person to become a leader i believe even the jay haters would fall in line with that..remembering your black>>>>>>>being a brand
innocent black people being killed gets no more clear than that video and this subsequent acquittal he should speak out no excuses these executions are happening in our city far to long.

 

[ucanthandlethetruth]

and fukk all you c00ns in the booth making threads about culture vultures like drake, iggy azalea,justin timberlake, miley cyrus etc who steal from our culture but could give a fukk about a eric garner or black people period. funny how blacks feel they should support and give their time and money to promoting people who wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire
everytime you c00ns push these threads you should think about that.
