Who is behind the Hip Hop blogs spreading fake news about O-Block on social media??

[FluffyEyes]

You start going down the list, see who owns what and where the money backing them comes from...

Yup. They had that at the end of the article and I thought it was important for ppl to see. These ppl have an incentive to amplify dysfunction and misinformation targeted to the Black community. It's beyond petty celeb or Hip Hop gossip.

I never heard of him and I was disappointed to learn that a Black person was behind that account. They are probably one of the worst regarding misinformation along with Daily Loud.

I’m surprised the SayCheese one is actually black owned with no backers. I was convinced it was a some white right wing type corp behind it.

Might be sadder that’s its a black man peddling that shyt.

He’s a black c00n who literally said Vlad is his role model. He shouldn’t be supported by anyone black.

It really hit hard when one of the residents discussed how so many ppl shyt on the residents there, yet use the deaths happening there as a mode to gain clout and money with no give back to that community.

All these dudes started screaming O Block the same time O Block was winning awards for remodeling all their apartments.

These are children.

So are the drill rappers exaggerating?? I'm not trying to be funny, I'm genuinely asking. I know that ppl weaponize Chicago any time they want shorthand for Black ppl killing one another and the drill rappers kind of lean into that(unintentionally??)...

It’s about web traffic and advertisements actually journalism be damned

Absolutely exaggerating. I’m not saying o block is soft or anything like that. I’m saying Queens Bridge was the scariest place in the world at one point, only to find out P was a ballerina.

It's home to many esteemed black Chicagoans-lol. Michelle Obama grew up in South Shore, she ain't never live in no Parkway Gardens.

But besides all that, Parkway Gardens is generally quiet nowadays like most of the public housing projects still around because they not trying to bring too much attention to themselves. Because they know if they do, Chicago will tear them shyts down in a heartbeat and there will be few less affordable housing options. Yeah shyt may pop off once in awhile but it's not like it used to be.

You can generally drive up into Parkway and loiter around with no problems.

My family's church is around the corner and we typically go over there for our outreach programs.

Got it. Since you're from the area how do you and your ppl feel about all the blogs and ppl using Parkway Gardens and Chicago as a whole to build their platforms?? I would feel strange as hell if ppl were using my old neighborhood like this

I think it's obvious that a lot of these big rap social media accounts are run by white people. It's the same with these rap "hood" stories YT channels. Even in the Toronto music scene all of these pages like 6ixbuzz are run by cacs, arabs or indians and they constantly post about hood beefs and ignorant shyt.

The connotation of a "real nikka" ain't someone like Malcolm X or Huey P Newton.
