"Get ready....for your blessing....."
"Bury me by my Grand-Grand and when you can come follow me"

probably the 3rd time that's happened in 20 years...LOL

i meant this to be in reaction to reply #1 about it being majority white owned

"Get ready....for your blessing....."
"Bury me by my Grand-Grand and when you can come follow me"

confused since all the drama.

For example, in the initial statements made public by the aggrieved women, they speak of Okayplayer and Okayafrica, and the corporate response to the allegations cite Okayplayer and Okayafrica. But in the former CEOs statement, he cites Okaymedia and makes no mention of either Okayplayer and Okayafrica. Then in the women's response after that, they cite only Okaymedia. But if you google Okaymedia, a company in the Netherlands comes up as well as an old twitter account owned by what appears to be some teenybopper in Lagos.

Are Okayplayer and Okayafrica even actual companies?? Or is Okaymedia the actual company, and okayplayer and okayafrica are essentially just DBAs or domain names or what have you?? And what about Largeup, Revivalist, etc.. how do they fit in?

It's hilariously strange how opaque the business dealings surroundng this site are. Like are the boards hosted on some server in Djibouti right now lol? Is that why things went offline last summer lol?

quest got with the money team while they (steve and sam hendel, and steve's broadway producer wife and the chick that was doing A&R for fela's family that tweeted the apology) were pushing the fela play

his story is he caught the play at the end of the off-broadway run and helped bring jay z and will & jada in to take it to broadway

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190625005612/en/Levin-Easterly-Names-Sam-Hendel-President

so that is the public connection between the fitewolks and 15. and without researching it i'd bet that ?s getting involved with the play was roughly the time okayafrica launched as well, with some cash infusion from the fitewolks for the overall "okaymedia" pie.

and with okafrica having no competition, vs the other sites okp "competed" against for hiphop audiences/clicks, its not hard to picture the business strategy shifting to making okayafrica the centerpiece of "okaymedia", since thats where the money walked in the room anyway.


and SIDEBAR the 2 dudes are in investment banking/energy trading so this music website is most likely barely a playtime hobby/"looks good on a bio" that they pay no attn too, and the boards even less. which would also explain the delayed/lack of response by "ownership" on what all went down with the ceo.


my take.

also have fun unwrapping an international oil commodities trader thats in love with fela and songs against exploitation

Now that OKP is on 'That Summer Jam Screen'.......I figure it's a good time to make it clear who is/isn't running the ship here......

And kudos to you for knowing.
I didn't know, so I asked.
I suspected, but didn't KNOW...so I asked.
Now I know...because I trust Tryptich knows...
So I'm good.
It's not any deeper than that.
Stop trying to MAKE it out that I'M making it deeper than that.
Folks can do whatever they want to do with the info...

I guess for ME...It's just another thing in this world that I'm aware of us (black folks) not really having full unadulterated control over. That's just me...because I like to know shit like that...just like I like to take mental notes of how many houses I pass that have black windows and white siding....or I notice how many other cars the exact same color and trim line as mine because it's a semi-rare combination.....

just geek down with me yo....you trying to pick a fight or something...and I'm not really on that...

The mods seem mad calm while others are feeling like they're asking a simple question, I know there is a moderators forum that you all got mad wild topics about the posters how but if this subject is too close for comfort for Mr.15's team then just post a statement and lock the topic.

They fired shots at Quest for his response.

..he's trolling up and down this thread, and the community falls for it every time.

He doesn't know anything, yet continues fronting like he does. Makes assumptions based on (who knows?), but straight up lied to you about why his racist comment was deleted, even though I made it plain and simple.

No one threatened to ban anyone (completely unnecessary), but I clearly asked him to stop with the shenanigans.

Can we please get passed the bullshit?


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

I personally try not to use it a lot here because its not a word that I generally use, particularly in "mixed" company.

Other people that would probably not use it in mixed conversations regularly throw it around here because it is an "assumed" majority black space, even if you pay attention its obviously not.

Even though that word is yelled on countless rap songs and used regularly on certain television shows.

There are other words that can get you banned here for even typing, but the N word is thrown around willy-nilly here on "super-woke OKP" where people spent countless posts arguing the minutiae of things like the capitalization of the "b" in black, "#ADOS" and "canceling" certain artists for songs or jokes and the newly dreaded "m" word.

Some posts about other topics that are foregone beaten "dead horses" constantly get randomly "upped" while other posts about subjects that the rest if the world is literally on fire about struggle to stay on the first page even in these relative slow times.

Look at the current world situation and how certain activities are "portrayed" vs who's actually doing them.

You have to ask yourself why and come to your own conclusions.

I always wondered why the alt right troll Denny got a pass when he was violating so much, I see it now.

Yep the n-word is always a losing argument.

So it was suppose to say, Those who defend using the n-word is a losing argument.

Too much baggage and history with it.

but geared towards a specific sound or demo and that shit never works IMO. This was during the time that was peaking but yeah. I guess they wanted to make some noise and money for having spawned a bunch of great artists on the boards

IG @erichrigonan

i'm sure is that this is Quest's site and he pays others to run it as he has other more important shit going on....
Thus it's a very valid assumption that he owns the site.
I really didn't anticipate what I thought was a simple straight forward question turning into this...
My bad.

I feel like it's pretty obvious in many ways what difference ownership of this site makes....
Primarily that it caters to the black diaspora in very much the same way that Ebony, Essence, JET, BET do/did...
Don't YOU want to know who's in the kitchen cooking up your soul food??
