independent is what the west is about. if you knew WC you'd know that. since when did record sales determine what is good and what isn't. most of the artists discussed on here ain't nationwide sellers except for the mainstream sellout shit you prolly listen to.

lol, the only shit u listen to is niggaz shuckin and jivin' cuz that appeals to your slavemaster mentality. ya boys whole argument for the east being dead was sales, and as sad as they are now it's still like david vs. goliath.
and once again you aint even welcome in any bunnies cypher so how you gonna be speakin' on the underground? you aint even know my tastes and u tryin' to diss, why don't u get informed and then try to speak to that okay lil man?

Seriously, though...
I like F.A.B. for the most part, but that song was awful. I mean, why not just paint their faces, make them wear tattered clothes, and have them shuck and jive for 5 minutes while they eat as much watermelon as they can? It's pretty much the same thing.
...that shit was terrible...
Can you point out anything specific that you think was talented about that track?

Cracka ass cracka is not a racist term. But anyways that Hyphy and Thizznation movement in the west is straight up trash. Its so garbage not even pop-boppers are interested. Hell, not even Hyphiers know what Hyphy is.

I like Ghost Ride it personally... don't see how the song or video is equivalent to a minstrel show.
It seems like a double standard to me in judgment.
Dude is just representing his hometown, movement, style, etc... it may be a bit silly to some and personally I'm not into immersing myself in it, but why does it have to be seen as a slight or dumbing down of black culture?

I'm not really in need of an explanation...I watched the video too.
Maybe that position is part of the problem...
Either way, look up some of the old minstrel shit and see if you don't find similarities.
And who said they were dumbing down black culture? Black culture is bigger than that small box you have it in. I was simply speaking to the similarities and the poor quality (?) of the work.
I know that bullshit doesn't represent me. There's no way possible...I have dignity.

First, you have no clue what box I have black culture in, any statement comparing something to a minstrel show is comment on black culture.
That shit doesn't represent YOU, one person out of many.
Just because it doesn't represent YOU doesn't mean it lacks dignity.
That's your problem.
Minstrel shows were all about the audience. They were about stereotyping and disparaging black people for a white audience's entertainment. The comparison here is an insult and unfair judgment.
For one, this whole sideshow, ghost riding movement is mostly a local regional one. Very few people saw the video despite the major label on it. This was done by FAB for his audience, his fans, his region. This was no minstrel show.
It's bullshit for anyone to judge anyone else and state what is or isn't dignified, black or white.
Just because you happen to be black gives you no more right to pass judgment on another black man. Freedom is freedom. It's bullshit to sit there and proclaim something a "minstrel show" because it doesn't conform to some standards. Judging the man on that basis is oppressive, it's stating that black people aren't truly free - they must worry about "looking like a minstrel show" so they have to conform to some bullshit standards that are proper enough...the whole concept is bullshit.

Comments like that tell me how small that box of yours is. You really think I'm the only person that thinks this shit is coonery? That's your problem. You know it all, so you keep putting that big foot in that even bigger mouth of yours without understanding what the fuckin' point was in the first place. I was talking to Shaw anyway. You love to take on the cause of others. Get the point, then respond...or shut the fuck up.

Yes...so that excuses the coonery... Good point. You're right, SRP. What was I thinking? I guess you sholl tol' me suh. I guess I's just sit on back heyun and minds my place.

That's your opinion, dude. You want an argument? Fine, but don't be silly enough to even try and tell me what I can or can't do. Don't attempt to tell me what I'm trying to do either. State your position, leave it at that, and shut the fuck up. Follow your own advice.

Thanks for the speech, but again, you missed the fuckin' point, nimrod. You can take that grand ol' position and stick it up your ass sideways. You're not going to tell me what I'm trying to do. None of that babble has anything to do with what I was saying earlier. Stay on point, stay coherent, or, again, shut...the...fuck...up...

Norf, You really are just acting out and if that's what you want to do DO YOU!
This is a public forum... your opinion is out there for all to see. Anytime ANYONE sees anything they feel like commenting on - THEY DO!
If you want to go around with the chip on your shoulder thinking I like to specifically argue with you, take on others causes, etc. etc then go ahead.
You call something a minstrel show - it's a direct insult to the artist and the people involved, period.
You miss the point - you, me, shaw, no one is in the position to say something is coonery unless it really is coonery. The term, as well as minstrel show, gets lost and people just use it trying to make a point and sound down for the clause.
You don't seem to understand what made coonery and minstrel shows so bad. It wasn't about playing into stereotypes, it was about those people who made the stereotypes and used them for entertainment.
That's the point you don't understand. A man, black or otherwise, should have the freedom to be himself without having to worry about someone ridiculing him and using who he is as a way to demean him. True freedom is a man being able to be himself and not be judged. The problem isn't with the act. The problem was with how others perceived the act and made a person feel because of the act.
White people love rap. All of it. By your logic PE was a minstrel show. Dave Chappelle is involved in coonery, etc. etc.
The point is that people should be allowed to do what the fuck they want without being judged. You seem to be of the mindset they should do what is "proper" otherwise they risk entertaining the whiteman and becoming a minstrel show. Fear of judgment used to opress someone's freedom and rights is just as bad.
It's whatever though. It seems you are not capable of having a discussion without making it personal or having a difference of opinion. I don't care to get into that type of discourse.
