Tariq Nasheed's Mink Slide (Discussion Thread)

[NoChillJones]

Whats the actual "con"? And how are we "non-Tariq-haters-club members" being played?

.....so we playing that who me couldn't be game now huh?

there's a reason hes been on the frontlines pushing the support black business memo.
He built credibility with his fans and now they will buy his shyt without thinking twice

im not knocking him if thats how you interpreted it.

I just like how hes been subconsciously grooming his fans to support anything he does. I respect the long play.

The point is the track is garbage. It disappoints me to see people so pleased with mediocrity all because it walks around with a pro-black slant. In reality all it’s doing is tickling your belly while snatching dollars and time from your life

Okay so we’re just going to pretend he doesn’t talk about pro black issues? I can’t stand when nikkas act oblivious, like you DONT know what the fukk I’m talking about when I say he takes a pro black slant.

Wanna start talking about the song and shyt. That shyt is bullshyt. End of story about the song.

“HOW DARE nikkaS BUY THIS SONG THAT I DONT LIKE!! HOW DARE THEY BUY FROM A BLACK MAN! DONT THEY KNOW THATS WHAT HE WANT THEM TO DO. HE’S BEEN GROOMING YALL!”

I was just asking what the "con" was, and you can't seem to explain what it is. And you are deflecting into something else. So I guess thats my point being proven.

There is so much GOAT-level R&B/Soul music out there right now, but it gets little-to-no mainstream exposure.

Please drop some links

No...I dont want to waste time rehashing something to you that you already know. Just so you can dive into debate mode defending that cornball ass nikka...

Tariq is mainstream he has been on everything from Fox News to the breakfast club. It’s so funny to me that some of you guys really think Tariq is not safe negro for the white media.

You're being obtuse.

Do I think Tariq is Khalid Muhammad, nah...but the things he says and does will keep him from having superstar success.

I too would like to know how he's a con man. He puts out a product, people buy it, and the people who do buy it are happy with it. Where's the con in that?

This is a capitalistic system. He's doing what you're supposed to do! If you're not doing the same, don't be mad at him.

 

[boskey]

Why is his band white?

What does Tariq do that would make him a superstar? Like I said Tariq is a safe guy for the white media they know his goal is personal gain not really changing things.

Some people see him as a con man because they feel he really does not care about the black community but cares about the black dollar.

Can't stand that dude, and he keeps winning

I can't believe a man wrote this about another man.

Crazy hating ass shyt

I'm not trying to sound like a stan, because I see through his shtick and spoken on it multiple times on here...but he clearly is multitalented and an entertaining guy. He's not safe because damn near all of his arguments come back to race, that's why he's not safe and "mainstream" media won't entertain him outside of being a talking head on fox news.

As far as I know he's only been on Fox news in recent years, and Fox entertains him because he riles their base up.

What other platform has he been on besides YouTube and explain to me how any of his rhetoric is safe. 80% of Americans don't want to hear what people like him are saying and that includes black people.
