i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

As much as I miss my family I'm not going home for the holidays. I can't risk seeing him right now.

it bothers me that a select few think because I laugh and joke with some of the men here, means I like them. Let me be clear, "we family" . I can find humor in a lot of things.

ladies, if you haven't sung Beyoncé's "Sorry" with your BFF, it's so much fun. lol
I almost forgot we did that...drunk

I hate hurting people feelings.

>it bothers me that a select few think because I laugh and joke with some of the men here, means I like them.

but i'll chill with the jokes.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

It's just jokes.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

I saw that post. I actually felt more rejected from this place than ever before.

I hadn't really left on purpose. Life was just getting kind of crazy. But now I don't really want to be here anymore, which is just...
I've been here since 2003. I'm not even a charter member, but in a way, I grew up here. But it's obviously not the same place.
Luckily I've managed to find most folks on Facebook.

this year doesnt feel as difficult as it's been mainly because I try to keep a positive outlook, always joke about shit and figure it out. marriage is a whole different phase and Im only in year 3, post college I stumbled countless times professionally and with dating, so it's a matter of staying patient and always working to make everything better

I hit the wall of mental/emotional exhaustion (mostly work related) 2 weeks ago and Im still not recovered

Yesterday this (white) girl had a meltdown at work because we're understaffed and overworked. I most certainly share her sentiment but it wont be me showing my ass and flipping out on people

I've been successful this year in other parts of life, I just wonder if I've reached my ceiling

Solange really might have one of the best albums of 2016 when you consider the topic material and how relatable it is

I legit dont care about people's opinions when they have to let me know they disagree with the things I enjoy, this isnt debate team.

Im not voting next week.

I stay away from negative energy more and more these days, that includes speaking my mind less

one of these internet dickheads will read all of this and try to paint a picture of me being sad or not having a decent life, fortunately that kind of shit doesnt affect me

I'm just commenting here since the post was locked:

atruhead - the "hopefully not" in the post about the Tribe album was obviously a joking reply to the (joking?) reply about Georgy Porgy.

but man, that whole discussion appears to have you upset.

let the man be upset (to the point of being annoying - to you all) about finding out that a group whose music I assume he has enjoyed in the past recorded a song with some hateful lyrics by which he can't abide by.

for reference:

thanks to social media, I have learned Al DiMeola is an asshole of a fragile ass white man when it comes to the art of Black people who dare to criticize the evil parts of society that affect them (in this case, Beyonce with the video for "Formation"), PLUS he Jessed* the fuck outta Return to Forever's reunion tour. Fuck him twice.

Now when I listen to his music I'm forced to Cuban B the man behind it.

shit like this is (one reason) why this place is tumbleweeds. people not knowing when/how to Cuban B.

I'm actually blown by the fact legs had the audacity to post a question with an obvious ass answer and that it had that many replies.

SMH.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

SW perfectly timed his garbage ("Im glad Phife is dead") around interfering with people's initial excitement about the new album

SW had two other posts (one in the Lesson, one here) he could have chosen to push back up, he chose to push mine back up about the album's confirmed release date. not only did he do that, he pushed my post up to ask "will this song Im mad about be a bonus song?"

SW is a troll and Im sorry he seems to have you convinced otherwise

SoWhat's been giving quick 'fuck you' to posts for a minute; but its only the tribe post that has everyone hopping on white horses swords drawn towards the middle of the fray.

All things considered he's perfectly within his right to feel that they were a bunch of assholes as an opinion. Its only because we take extra offense because it's tribe, the alpha and omega for us music nerds on the boards, that those posts spiral out of control...everyone trying to convince him he needs to get over such a specific and hateful song basically aimed at him.

Looking at it for the outside if you guys let him millyrock the topic would have been over, but everyone's trying to convince him that he's wrong where ultimately, like Dr. Claw says above, he's not.

Just sayin' he made his point in 2 forums. While I agree it can be ignored or shrugged off but you know what he was trying to do...lol.

I didn't see why the post needed to be locked but whatever.

Dude actually said he hoped it wouldn't be on the album. I laughed.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

We got a zillion Trump related things popping on the boards but nobody cares.

I know what he's trying to do, but thats the point, lol.

His replies would go double wood if it wasn't filled with people telling him he ain't got a right to feel that way, which is pretty preposterous. Meanwhile we ain't giving old racists a pass even if they were dope musicians.

I hate the whole race=sexuality thing but I figure he feels the same way when I lurk on other boards and the white people give the 'shrug' to some racist shit because they don't see it as big deal and Ill be snarking the fuck outta em too.

- he could have been offended and expressed it rationally

- he did it in a way intended to upset people

- he got what he wanted only to double back and play the victim

- I cant believe people want to make him the victim

'one of em is dead, so give em a pass' etc.

>- he did it in a way intended to upset people

Only reason why people got upset is because we are caught in the feels for who they were to us, but logically its no different then if a popular dead rock star was found to say nigga nigga nigga. Morrisey is racist as fuck towards asians (probably blacks too) and as a Smith's fan if he got hit with a truck id be sad, but I wouldn't be mad at a dude saying fuck his whole life, nahmean?

I wish I would still be posting here in 2025 with someone mad I snarked them in 2001

If Bono wrote a little number when he was a wee lass in Ireland called 'I Hate The Mexicans' we would still be asking him questions about it in 2016 (and he would most likely be extremely apologetic about it in between hits of awesome cokes and getting dome from the finest of models).

>I wish I would still be posting here in 2025 with someone mad
>I snarked them in 2001

The reason we can just say, 'Ehh, its just like old shitty posts' is why I see he gets mad. Its not a case of something you did spur of the moment in your youth..shit it wasn't even for them!

When they were told it was a 'bad idea' from the label they made a song about how the record labels fuck with them! LOL. They took it personally at the time (unlike most of our shitty posts). And the thing is, we want to believe they moved on from those views but we don't know, do we.

SoWhat's point exposes less about homophobia (or tribe for that matter) than empathy imho. If were were like more posts like Dr.Claws and less 'Who cares, it was a long time ago' there would be no issue.

but first i need some proof that the group has grown beyond the ugliness expressed in 'GP'. i have not seen any. every time i post on the subject i ask someone to show me som'n where the group addressed their (past?) homophobia and/or commented on 'GP'. so far no one has anything.

so i'm left thinking that's still where they are. which is a damned shame.

and i think ppl get extra defensive (though i haven't attacked any of them on this issue, i think) b/c maybe they're in their own feelings about being such fans of a group that made a record that nasty. maybe they're conflicted at least a little bit and so they're lashing out. i dunno. maybe not. either way - they can attack the messenger all they want but it doesn't change 'GP' or Tribe's homophobia and ugly anti-gay stance as expressed on that record (and 'Oh My God', of course).

fuck you.

You can blow up Tips twitter if you really want to know.

But I think 20 years later and no other songs like that on any of their albums should be enough proof.

The reason you catch heat over it is because you keep asking okp like WE can answer for Tribe.

It's 2016, be about it if you are really that curious to know. Don't lie to us tho if you haven't put in work to find out from the source.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

but further, allegedly the song never made the album b/c the LABEL cut it not b/c Tribe had a change of heart.

>You can blow up Tips twitter if you really want to know.

i'm not on Twitter.

and i dunno how Twitter works but i doubt a person w/0 followers who's following no one is going to get any response on Twitter from Tip.

batty boy
noun
1.
(mainly Brit, taboo, slang) a male homosexual

fuck you.

perverts exposing themselves to kids = just a penis (your words)

homophobic lyrics from 1991 = just a song

made back in the 90s.

it's more than just a song.

it'd be one thing if this were just a throw away line like Phife's 'anti batty boy' thing. but it's 4 verses all of them pretty deeply anti-gay. only 2 of those verses are from Tribe but they all stay right on topic. i can't think of another anti-gay 90s rap record that went THIS deep.

so it's more than 'just a song'.

but look, man...clearly Tribe means a lot to you b/c otherwise i don't know why you seem to take this so personally or why 'GP' and my posting about it seems to set you off in the way it does. i'm sorry you feel that way but i'm not sorry i've posted about it and i'm going to continue doing so when i think it's appropriate. you can stay in your feelings and i can't control that but this continued back and forth about this will not accomplish anything. so i suggest you stop it and just let the posts go w/o comment. or you can keep doing what you're doing here and you'll get the same response from me. your choice.

fuck you.

your sentiment would be valid if it wasn't rooted in parade pissing and you didnt bring it up in my unrelated post as opposed to the other two you already made

you of all people saying "let's stop discussing this" is rich, keep pretending your feelings are hurt about the song for empathy from a place you hate posting

It is so weird when you bring this up. It makes me chuckle everytime.

there's some other clown going on about it in The Lesson.

i just LOL too.

fuck you.

SW makes trollish statements, he gets reminded of them. that's it

i'm a troll.

i say trollish shit.

i don't mean anything i ever post here, fam. i say all of it just to get a rise out of you. i am just a trolling troll here, dude.

now that i've admitted you're correct will you leave this shit the fuck alone or what, man? what else do you want from me? just let me know b/c i want you to be satisfied. i want to see you get what you want so you'll stop this incessant whining of yours. it's ruined enough posts.

just tell me and i'll do it.

hell, i'll turn over my password to you if you want, bro.

i'm just tired of you.

what do you want?

fuck you.

Be mad at yourself for trolling my post or Dr Claw for starting the discussion in here, I was fine leaving this where it was yesterday

just let me know.

b/c i'm not going to stop posting about 'GP' - i'll post about it whenever i feel it's needed. but i want you to stop your whining b/c i'm sure it's annoying other ppl around here. so just let me know what you want. i've admitted that i'm a troll - which seemed to be what you were after. now i'm not sure that's enough. so i dunno what it'll take. what will pacify your crying?

what does the baby want? a lolly? just let me know.

fuck you.

no deflection.

i said it - i'm a trolling troll.

you've got what you wanted.

what's next?

more fussing?

fuck you.

is there more or what?

what's up?

fuck you.

i've been in enough toxic relationships to understand the lack of accountability

oh my.

i didn't know it's that deep for you, player.

i'll have to find a way to let you down easy.

b/c it's never meant anything to me.

you've never meant anything to me.

i'm sorry to know you were on something i wasn't.

i certainly never meant to lead you on.

i didn't mean to turn you on.

fuck you.

not that you need clarification but you've been exhibiting behavioral traits I've seen before

that's relevant here, why?

if this ain't a relationship then i dunno what's the point.

but please let's keep derailing this CW post.

you'll cry about it later, i'm sure.

fuck you.

I'm sure your pastor and your God your fellow clowns are very proud.

Congrats.

fuck you.

I dont know who I typed that to before (probably DeadZombie), but it came up in autofill when I started to type "sorry" and it fits here

Sorry your autocomplete knows what a shitty person you are. And my father loves me very much and has for 40 years now. We're tight - we text love messages at least 2x per week and talk on the phone regularly. He's doing great - I love him lots and the feeling is mutual.

Not the right button to push here, dummy. Lol

fuck you.

"...Whateva, man..." (c) Redman

Etc and so one.

Also, that Tribe song was never released.

Maybe this is real shit to him but I think it's faux outrage because he knows people love Tribe and it will get folks heated.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

as i keep saying...i'm putting it out there b/c i want to know if someone here knows something about Tribe addressing the song. also b/c ppl who post here might have some connection to the group - maybe someone might put a bug in their ear about it. also to inform folks so they know who they're 'supporting' w/their $ should they decide to do so.

but i am not trying to 'upset' any fans. i'm not 'trolling' Tribe fans w/this. that's not the goal at all.

really i'd be thrilled to learn that Tribe apologized or otherwise walked back this anti-gay shit. i have repeatedly said as much.

fuck you.

>but i am not trying to 'upset' any fans. i'm not 'trolling'
>Tribe fans w/this. that's not the goal at all.

about the record's existence. y'all will do w/that info what you will.

but i'm not here to tease you b/c you dig a group that made that deplorable record. hell, i dig that same group so i'd be teasing and trolling myself if that's what i were up to.

fuck you.

or maybe you're schizophrenic and your other personality typed everything you dont remember now

it's all still online, I wont bother upping it

your sick need for attention is fed every time I reply so I'll stop here

But I asked Tip on Facebook - I sent him a message. If I hear back I'll be sure to post about it. I hope you can survive it.

fuck you.

.

Now what?

Is it over or will you continue to bam up Tribe post?

This record is like Eminem recording a record screaming nigger when a black girl dumped him. Dude from the source ruined his lil non career and ruined a magazine trying to make people care about that song.

It's not even a good song and the production was garbage.

If this is your life's work then I feel you but the timing of it (phifes death) seems a little hacky.

I ain't neva scared

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

and so far it seems they haven't addressed it.

i wonder if they'll ever address it.

w/o them commenting on that song i'm left to believe that's the group's stance on us gay folks. especially since Phife and Tip doubled down on it in 'Oh My God' - both the record (which was censored) and the video (where Tip mouthed the censored homophobic content).

so...yeah.

as i keep saying - Tribe is my 2nd favorite rap group. well, maybe they were my 2nd favorite. i dunno. if that's still where they are on this gay shit then fuck them. but if they've grown beyond that i'd really appreciate knowing that.

btw...this is 'it' for those who may not be up on what's being discussed:

Tribe made one of the ugliest most homophobic records of all time and submitted it for release on The Low End Theory. Jive allegedly refused to release it so the group remade it as 'Show Business'. the song, 'Georgie Porgie' has leaked and is available on YouTube.

well, I -do- understand it, I just think it's needlessly assholish to trivialize it when those feelings are expressed.

i sent Tip a FB message asking why they made GP considering it's so unlike the rest of their catalog. if he responds i'll update.

fuck you.

yet:

- he wasn't shitting on us for being fans
- he just wants to know if they apologized, he isnt trolling
- we're the ones who need to understand how a song he discovered in 2016 has affected him so gravely

keep caping for this guy all you want

which I think was a bit of a line crosser.

I don't know how much of that he means, but "cry about it" in response to "I think these dudes should apologize about making a song with hateful lyrics toward a group of which I am a member" was meant to be disrespectful.

disrespect begets disrespect. hence that comment.

charge it to the game.

that makes more sense to you than "maybe their views changed from 25 years ago"

may God go with all of you

The unreasonable side

.

he was responding to the "cry about it"

which was basically saying "how dare you be offended at homophobia from 25 years ago, gay man. drink this Kool-Aid and STFU"

if he needs to hear some sort of contrition regarding that homophobia before he wishes to continue consuming their art, that's his prerogative.

and it's not like we're dealing with something trivial. that's dude's life. same as Phife's life. they were offsetting comments.


now had he said this shit in the RIP Phife post, or w/o those comments then I'd be like, "he on some bullshit"

this is like laughing at Alex Jones saying "pee pee" without knowing that he was saying it in response to Eric Andre trolling him about said "pee pee"

he's one of my favorites. to find out he'd spit such nastiness directed at my ppl was hurtful. so that absolutely came out of that hurt. that combined w/hl going at me about it...i turned up.

but when taken in isolation it seems otherwise.

they like to do that w/me around here. take something hot i've said and use it 'against me' in isolation removed of the context in which i said it.

idiots do that. fools fall for it.

fuck you.

words hurt you, a 40 year old man

you talked about a subject with venom right when we're hype about it

because words hurt you, a 40 year old man

so we have no right to call your timely response bullshit

because words in a song from 1991 hurt you, a 40 year old man

it's our responses that made it about you, not you going out of your way to troll us

because words hurt you, a 40 year old man

you're going to continue as you please, and we should stop whining if we cant understand why

we're the problem and a song from 1991 that we dont stand by is the problem, not you

ATCQ and everyone here is against you and the LGBT community in 2016

you just wanna keep derailing this CW post, huh?

i'm happy to do so b/c i'm a troll as you've pointed out and i've admitted, but what about you? why are you doing this?

if you're defending your heroes by attacking me where i've admitted i'm vulnerable (hurt by 'GP' and Phife's 'anti batty boy' line) then you're doing a piss poor job. b/c it's not like you've claimed Tribe didn't rap those words. or that you have proof that they no longer hold that sentiment. attacking me where i'm admittedly vulnerable doesn't gain anything for Tribe. and it makes YOU look like the troll here. the bully. and yes it casts me as the 'victim' - for which you deride me only making you even more bully.

so i dunno your end game. you've ruined CW. you've bullied me. congrats?

fuck you.
