So how does that effect your like/dislike of hip hop ..... especially concerts .....
Still I really despise this song...... even with the replacement of "my nikka" with "my hitta" .... extra ignorant
lol, @ the word nikka holding us back.
I get it. I get why some people focus in on it...
But lets get real. You can be an educated businessman, who puts in madd work in our community, learn about black history and is a productive force for us - and still use the word nikka around ur nikkas.
I know thats ignorant, but it's what it is. Our focus should be on technology and business. Group economics > any of this minor shyt we talk about.
Sure there is the usage of the word nikka, disrespecting or ourselves and our women in the media and music... but that is from cac music labels and paid sambos who put money before dignity. (that shyt doesn't represent most of our community)
If our people are ignorant then we need to deal with the social economic factors that breed ignorance..... regardless of race... poverty will produce a hood mentality in most people.
AND I'm not sure exactly y we give a fukk what white people or CAC think about us or think about how we speak. You can be making 600K a year w a PHD and the CAC will still view you the same way..-- I only do the shyt I do as a mean to an end because I live in AMerikka and u can't help ur people by being a broke 'nikka'. Beyond that who gives a fukk about a cac?

It doesn't, I just don't like when some people say nikka in front of some white folks... it doesn't sit right with me... shyt for that matter i don't feel comfortable saying nikka in front of older black folks either... save that talk for your homies, feel me?

Sticks and stones cant break my bones nikka.
As long as corporations own rap music I refuse to acknowledge use of the n word as a problem. The bigger question is where are the black schools? I think self-imposing trade restrictions is silly, open the market to obviously make more money.
But why not educate ourselves? It can all start online. HBCUs are struggling, but effective. The only area in which they lack is financing.
I just, as a black man who grew up in one of the most violent, segregated parts of the country, refuse to acknowledge this idea that we are not far exceeding our expectations. We need to be less dependent on government, this is true, but things were set up to pacify us. I challenge every african american to increase our enrollment at top universities and in top careers from underrepresented to over represented. But lets not act like there was not a time when People did not think we were smart enough to even read and write, and that our even being represented in corporate roles and at universities at all is not an accomplishment. In terms of US history jim crow/discriminatory lending were yesterday, and in terms of world history the civil war was two days ago.
Just remember sticks and stones and keep grinding.
