12675083, Young Thug: King of the Monkeys
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Sun Dec-14-14 09:41 AM
Yall seen this ish right here?

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=987516701264170&pnref=story

made me immediately think of my favorite scene from one of my GOAT movies, a Soldier Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdmCFXZO5iM

I'm on that Sgt. Waters, the revolution can't afford to have certain Negros out front.

Rap needs a Pac/Cube/PE type figure to go in on these fools. Love J Cole but he isn't standing by taking Shots at Iggy Azelia.

Funny thing is I remember seeing a Wacka Flocka interview years ago of him talking about education and thinking that rap couldn't get no dumber.

Then I grew to like Wacka and Chief Keef came around and I was like, ok, rap has hit a new low.

At least that didn't last long but now it as devolved to this.

12675092, what gives you the right to judge him as unworthy?

We need all the people...the dumb rappers too
12675093, no we dont

12675095, Nah, we don't need some people. That's suicidal.

If you have a diseased animal you don't keep it in the pen with the rest of your livestock. You fucking kill it so it doesn't infect the rest of the herd.

FOH like we've got time to reeducate all the fucking coons and uncle toms in this country.

Cut them loose.

12675135, how is what hes saying either right OR wrong?
Posted by Binlahab, Sun Dec-14-14 12:48 PM
the question was: what do you think abt these police brutality situations?

his response was: idgaf im getting money & partying.

YOUR response is this nigga is a coon & we dont need or want him.

MY response to your response is yes we do need him. because the VAST majority of young people feel JUST like him. if you cant express your position & change the minds of people like him, the shit will implode because there aint no more ella bakers or fannie lou hamers being made


does it really matter?

realistic. stick a fork in this wack ass nigga
12675196, Classist? He doesn't look like he's starving.
Posted by Lardlad95, Sun Dec-14-14 04:26 PM
This nigga came to be an adult in a major industry in the United States without coming into contact with people who balance social responsibility with fame?

FOH, hopefully he does charity work that he doesn't advertise. Otherwise, fuck 'em.

Also he's young, maybe getting chastised for saying this dumb shit will wake him the fuck up.

12675301, This has nothing to do with Class. You wrong for equating lower class
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Sun Dec-14-14 10:33 PM
with dumb. There are tons of people from the bottom who are about the cause.

This ain't about a talented 10%, this about people actively participating in our subjugation. Whether willing or because they don't know any better.

This, Waka Flocka's "Education good" clip, Soulja Boy expressing gratitude for slavery because it afforded young black men like him the opportunity to have money, ice and tattoos in the future...

All these clips will make an awesome documentary in a few years.
12675104, yet Pac in his last moments was involved in some ratpack gang beatdown
Posted by thegodcam, Sun Dec-14-14 11:21 AM
he aint really a model to follow imho
12675284, Right. Folks selectively forget some of his nonsense
Posted by Beezo, Sun Dec-14-14 09:49 PM
>he aint really a model to follow imho
12675296, I didn't say, and I don't think anyone else thinks Pac is a role model.

12675126, Not everyone is socially conscious. I can't hate the individual for not being fully
Posted by Fishgrease, Sun Dec-14-14 12:12 PM
being aware of all that's going on.

Anyone who looks to Young Thug for political/social insight is failing themselves.
12675141, Maybe we should judge people for not being socially conscious.

12675142, word. id even be down to build with the brother and try to put
Posted by mikediggz, Sun Dec-14-14 01:01 PM
him up on some things but something deep down in my soul tells me he'd be somewhat uninterested and might even try and shun me
12675150, thats exactly what we need tho
Posted by Binlahab, Sun Dec-14-14 01:19 PM
the majority of young people could care less abt ANYBODY or anything but themselves, their kids, their mama. because...? society has told them we dgaf abt you so they are on that no new friends shit

so instead of reenforcing that mentality by dismissing him as a monkey we dont need, why not say young dude...this is why this matters. this is what your audience is going through, do you relate? etc

yall are doing the power structures job for it...stop doing that shit


does it really matter?

for all my fans who keep my name in their mouth: http://i.imgur.com/v2xNOpS.jpg
12675200, Right, but you and I aren't gonna reach out to Young Thug specifically
Posted by Lardlad95, Sun Dec-14-14 04:34 PM
Dude is a public figure. He's not above shaming.

Dude isn't some kid in your neighborhood. He's a fucking rapper.

12675230, and what do young kids in the neighborhood think?
Posted by Binlahab, Sun Dec-14-14 06:12 PM
Are they protesting right now or are the vast majority of them concerned with getting laid and getting paid just like this kid is?

And when they hear their generation being referred to as useless worthless monkeys by people allegedly community minded...what's that say to them?

12675345, I bet if you asked them about Mike Brown they'd have an actual
Posted by Lardlad95, Mon Dec-15-14 12:06 AM
opinion, and not some bullshit like homeboy did. It might not be a well thought out or nuanced one, but I don't think they'll just shrug it off.

Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Dec-14-14 11:25 PM
you have to reach some of the niggas like thugger too if you want to build the community up. you can't throw them in the bushes just because you think theyre ignorant..

some of the posts in this thread are beyond lame.
12675346, If you were around a 22 year old who said some ignorant shit
Posted by Lardlad95, Mon Dec-15-14 12:11 AM
you wouldn't hold their hand and try to be understanding. You'd call them on their bullshit, hope they listened, and keep it moving.

yup this aint rocket science, fucking north koreans even got an opinion on this shit, we need to stop making excuses. the so-called "ignorant youth" who Young thug supposedly represents may not be marching on washington but they actually do at the very least give a fuck enough to say "oh yeah that shit is fucked up" dont even know why im replying to this troll-bait
