12807776, A lot of grown men were REALLY hype about that Jay Z concert.. Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:02 AM
i'm not here to clown or judge. It is what it is...
but
I found it a bit odd at the level of fandom that i've witnessed the last 2 days.
Me, myself, personally, I dont fuck with concerts like that.
|
12807783, What could you really be hyped for? Posted by RaFromQueens, Mon May-18-15 11:04 AM
Showing people how you know the lyrics? Special effects? Jay standing still on stage doing the pointing out words in the air as he says them thing? An actual performer coming out?

12807787, lots of grown men refer to the gentleman as "HOV" Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:06 AM
and lots of grown men have lived vicariously through his rhymes for going on decades
|
12807792, i thought it was just me Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:07 AM
on that HOV shit...
i dunno...
AGAIN
i aint judging(yes i'm is)
but i dunno...
|
12807804, nah, that referring to dude as "HOV" is weird and questionable... Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:13 AM
IN MY OPINION
that idolaltry shit just doesn't move me
|
12807817, This is because the word "Hov" means something to you. Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon May-18-15 11:20 AM
Perhaps it doesn't to the people who call him that.
|
12807827, fall back Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:26 AM
you don't have to tell me what words mean to me
|
12807849, Get off the forum if you that mad over that. Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon May-18-15 11:37 AM

12807868, LOL Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:42 AM
u in here with the Lazyboi logic.
yes i put his name in this so he can come in and yes i'm aware of yall's history..
|
12807871, my point was dude is tripping over a nickname Posted by atruhead, Mon May-18-15 11:44 AM
99% of people who call Shawn Carter "Hov" aren't thinking he's a God of any sort
|
12807889, lots of people call lots of people lots of things... Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:50 AM
i'm not big on referring to another man by a term that indicates God unless there is a proper bond of understanding where my usage of the term is such that we clearly are essentially equal entities
sue me

12808283, Jesus Christ.... Posted by denny, Mon May-18-15 04:52 PM
Are we taking rap monikers literally now? lol
|
12807799, in fairness, who ELSE should be hype about it? Posted by woe.is.me., Mon May-18-15 11:10 AM
that's one of the heroes from their era. i'm not invested either way, but I don't think it's unfair for fans of mid-90s - early hip hop to be excited about it.
|
12807809, Basically. It's like judging 60's niggas for being hybe for Smokie Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon May-18-15 11:17 AM
Robinson.
It was the music of their day.
That homophobic mindset in rap is just all encompassing. So many restrictions.

12807841, lol nigga hurt. Naw fam I aint finna sit and listen to a nigga Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:34 AM
rap about being better than me.
SMokey singing for the hoes. Prolly more hoes at the concert than u can shake a stick at.
I'm there for them
at a jay z concert it's more dudes standing with dudes reciting lyrics a dude is saying about being better than me and u.
no thanks.
|
12807847, nah, if you don't let that man talk down to you you are a homophobe Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:36 AM
homophobe and you don't want to see another black man getting paid
|

It's really that simple.
|
12807858, I get that. I just think it's kinda weird. Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:40 AM

I'd rather go see Keef Sweat in concert than Jay(or Nas)

12807825, well, that's how capitalism works... Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:23 AM
lolol
by definition being in the position he's in means he's blocking other people from getting money
this is how any pyramid structure works...the higher the get the more you stamp other people down...
which is typically why a select few rich dudes are tossed at you as the aspirational figure to worship and model yourself after...
|
12807864, Not even responding to any point u try to make anymore. Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon May-18-15 11:42 AM
Tried to give you a chance to come back civil. But you still a piece of shit. Die.
|
12807876, i think you're really overreacting but i can respect that Posted by philpot, Mon May-18-15 11:44 AM

12807812, RE: why not? Posted by Geah, Mon May-18-15 11:18 AM
> >>Me, myself, personally, I dont fuck with concerts like that. > >
First of all rap concerts them mugs say 4 words and ask the audience to complete the line.
They stand there and do whatever. IT's silly to me. I mean to each his own but i have always found rap concerts silly.
I'd rather hear the shit on cd.
|
12807824, ha! i can see that Posted by lfresh, Mon May-18-15 11:23 AM
the one mos def concert i went to he had a new album no one knew the words and it irked him
i never know the words i'm actually bad with lyrics so theres that i never considered LOL ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.

12807813, I was hype when I heard about the concert.... Posted by Cenario, Mon May-18-15 11:19 AM

I probably still pay for freecreditreport.com bc i forgot to cancel it since 06.
|

|
12807867, Im over him now, but I was a huge fan Posted by atruhead, Mon May-18-15 11:42 AM
I think I've been to 2 shows (Best Buy Theater 10 year Reasonable Doubt show & Carnegie Hall in 2011 or 2012) and both were great
I still haven't brought myself to watching the Tidal show
|
12807895, reminds me of the post about the woman buying Jay a B-day cake Posted by double negative, Mon May-18-15 11:52 AM

|
12807908, I thought it was cool to see em all 2gether but i dont fuck wit shows Posted by ambient1, Mon May-18-15 11:58 AM
neither
not my thing
|
12808110, No one.... Posted by murph71, Mon May-18-15 02:42 PM
should be ashamed for connecting with the music of their youth....
Especially when said artist actually grew up with his audience....
If the issue is Jay Z's 1% content, then make a post about that.
But to say that grown men who was going crazy over Jay Z doing "22 Twos" are bitch made is that good ol trolling...lol
And this^^^^is coming from someone who is more on the Nas side of things....
