Right on Mpozi and Nesta!<P>first of all, common has said it himself that he doesn't hate anyone. <P>2ndly why are you reading so much into the "promo" for the album? who says showing that image is "anti white" propaganda? what? you don't want to be reminded of the days of the good ol'boys? <P>you said, "Is hip-hop the "water" spewing from the "colored only" fountain, of which us whites should not drink? Or is it a simple reminder of how things used to be."<P>do you feel like you shouldn't "drink" from the fountain of hip hop. if you feel the man is so against you, then why do you like him. that's like a jew supporting hitler. doesn't make much sense does it?<P>"The 50s or 60s? What year is it now? Okay, just checking."<P>i don't know how you even have the audacity to sit your ass there and type this. how can you negate the pass like that? how can you blow this off like it was some trivial piece of information? you may not recognize this as a part of your present or past, but you need to wake up and realize that it is. WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE OR NOT!! We as a Black people can not forget what has happened to us and neither can you. As long as ppl like common and other individuals are alive and kicking, myself included, I will not allow it to be forgotten. I'll die speaking these same words before i let someone like you try and strip parts of our culture away. You may only see it as an offensive promo but it runs much deeper than that. Much deeper. Maybe you need to take some time to understand why we are expressing these thoughts to you in such a manner. Maybe it's because you need to wake up. <P>what you need to realize is that this is a one take on blackness and if his words or actions offend you, they don't buy it. i feel like i'm talking to chaz all over again. I don't fucking understand how you expect a person to cater to you in your lily white world of white skin privilege. See you said you live OUTSIDE of chicago. Try living IN THE CITY. 2 different worlds. If you survive the life as a black man in K-Town or the wild wilds then you would understand some of what he says. Dang I forgot, you're from OUTSIDE the city so you wouldn't know where these places are. <P>You say you're a fan of his music, but you can't separate his life from his love. Plain and simple, the truth hurts and the light from it can blind you. I think you need to remove your shades.<P><BR>skidmarks. they're not just for underwear anymore. - crash bandicoot<P>'i feel you like, tomaz zamot ya know' - donwill<P>yardicus: hey don't laugh! I can rock the hell out a miniskirt and some "hooker heels..."<P>yardicus: Not to mention, my superb flynes when rocking a string of pearls...<P>just think/just think/ what if you could just/just blink your tag - Black Thought HOB 99<P>bAttlin me is like some KEDS tryna mess wit NEW BALANCES.. -Sporatic<P>dick hed mcs, wit dem flacid, phalic soundin subjects- one of those jail urine roach xylophone nukkas (jurx-donwill)


...she had a body like a cello with legs
i mean the ass was absurd
long neck
smooth skin
pretty face
cookie nipples
eyes wide as her hips
full lips between dimples
