why would anyone doubt her statements
Aug 03rd 2020

Are people doubting it?
Aug 03rd 2020
126
ehhh. I've seen comments about her being an "opportunist"
Aug 03rd 2020
129
      I mean, I'm sure that's part of this.
Aug 03rd 2020
130
      Won't call her an opportunist, but this doesn't honor Malik's memory
Aug 03rd 2020
131
           Unfortunately there is truth in this
Aug 03rd 2020
132
           Yeah this is where I'm at with it. It would be one thing if she kept it
Aug 03rd 2020
136
           she's grieving on multiple fronts simultaneously
Aug 03rd 2020

           lmk when one of your friends dies

           As a matter of fact I recently lost a friend. Go ahead.

Aug 08th 2020

Aug 03rd 2020
133
      She said that Common sexually assaulted her...wtf y’all?
Aug 03rd 2020

      the majority of it WAS 'ok and?'

           Which part are you saying is imagined?
Aug 03rd 2020
141
                the outsized role she thinks she played in OKP

you found the most polite way to call her a clout chaser
Aug 04th 2020

bruh
Aug 04th 2020

I definitely think she is using Malik B’s death to get attention
Aug 04th 2020

           how are they treating is passing exactly?
Aug 04th 2020

yeup. her message is unfortunately compromised
Sep 28th 2020
468
word. same,
Sep 28th 2020
470
I think she got addicted to (Instagram) limelight
Sep 28th 2020
474
Don't abandon her now.
Sep 28th 2020
472
nuance means two things can be right at once
Sep 28th 2020
473
      pretty much. that sums it up perfectly.
Sep 28th 2020
475
      Differently put...
Sep 28th 2020
476
           ok white man
Sep 28th 2020
477
           You white too?
Sep 29th 2020
478
           I'm googlable &amp; have personally interacted with people in this post
Sep 29th 2020
479
                Yes or no
Sep 29th 2020
480
                ^^^^^^This question
Sep 29th 2020
481
                     What have I said to make you think I'm white?
Sep 29th 2020
482
                          You haven't included a passport scan bro
Sep 29th 2020
483
                          Nothing
Sep 29th 2020
484
                          No white man would guard black men from accountability like you do
Sep 29th 2020
485
                          Be that as it may, at least I'm sincere
Sep 29th 2020
487
                               words have meanings. no one came in here with an agenda
Sep 29th 2020
495
                                    So you contend that her words changed?
Sep 29th 2020
496
                                         I contend that the word agenda has a meaning
Sep 29th 2020
501
                          All you had to say is I’m Black and that would be enough for me
Sep 29th 2020
486
                               I'm telling you my resume while arguing
Sep 29th 2020
488
                idk if mans is white or not
Sep 29th 2020
489
                     What ?
Sep 29th 2020
490
                          Now see.. this is reckless.. lol
Sep 29th 2020
492
                          Yep
Sep 29th 2020
493
                          he said to google him
Sep 29th 2020
505
           meaning you want words to mean what you want them to mean LOL
Sep 29th 2020
497
                He said some bullshit
Sep 29th 2020
498
                     you're all over the place
Sep 29th 2020
502
                          So it was initially for healing, now its for attention. Ok.
Sep 29th 2020
503
                               where did I imply anything was done for healing?
Sep 29th 2020
504
Damn. Everyone lost in this post.

Cyberbullying ?
Oct 07th 2020

           Did you follow the woman on twitter ?

                IMO, it looks like pattern of behavior on Kweli's part

The people who posted here did that.

The people who loved the music.

The nerds and the fat girls. The outcasts and weirdos.

Before it was cool.

We bought in. Hit them shows. Supported the music and broke down the lyrics. Online like it was our jobs.

Not the roots, not Badu, not Jill Scott, not common and most certainly not jaguar wright.

We did that.

That's my only take away from her screed.

Every day too.

Tell yourself that it was jag wright who made saying okayplayer at a show a thing if you want and be wrong.

Black Lily as an event...hella dope. Great experiences and all that.

But this preceded that and the so called "stars" that would come on the boards to do whatever they did.

That's abt all I have to contribute the rest of what she said I have no comment abt whatsoever

And carry on

does it really matter?

In response to Reply # 15


  

          

Im sure things happening outside of being online (like a whole tour named after the brand) were more important than Binlahab's fantasies of being an integral part of history

That tour named after the "brand" was supported by who again?

The people on that niche website

Who were yelling okayplayer before black Lily and what not

Of whom yes I was one and unfortunately so were you

Jag wright hella talented and deserves all the props

But no. She did not make okayplayer famous.

Again...we the people who came to the site day after day did.

Which is very logical and utterly inarguable however I'm sure you will figure out a way to do so

With yourself tho

you're already loud and wrong

you got here roughly 2000. the 2001 All Star game is when you became "relevant" if that matters on a message board


>But no. She did not make okayplayer famous.

>Again...we the people who came to the site day after day did.

I dont think Okayplayer was ever famous (it gained more steam for a recent company scandal than anything else), but I think Jaguar Wright is more important to the story than Binlahab


>Which is very logical and utterly inarguable however I'm sure
>you will figure out a way to do so
>
>With yourself tho

people who know Binlahab: posters from here and (former) posters from here who shit on Binlahab in secret Facebook groups

people who know the name Jaguar Wright: posters here who were around for that era, much of the Philadelphia music scene, The Roots and their extended family tree, etc.

needless to say, we're distracting from this woman's pain because Binlahab needs to feel important to the Okayplayer community

Also the so called secret Facebook groups? Not that secret.

I hear it or see it all. You and your ilk have been the same whorish cowards for 20 yrs.

I know because I said this to you...20 yrs ago.

Nothing changes. Keep my name on your fingertips like the sad girl you are.

>whorish cowards for 20 yrs.


I left Facebook for good in February. I never participated in any of it, Im not a part of any "ilk", I can count my close friends from here on one hand. but when I lurked for a few days the consensus was "(Binlahab's real name) is a piece of shit, we banned him from here"


>I know because I said this to you...20 yrs ago.

cool, Im a whorish coward for holding you accountable and correcting you on how much you matter compared to an artist's personal account.



>Nothing changes. Keep my name on your fingertips like the sad

it sounds like you need to feel persecuted, take that up with the man upstairs

I’ll say this, she is an incredible performer. I love her fire, that was a lot though. Stay is a good song. Just from watching that video though, I can see why people wouldn’t want to work with her. I mean, damn. PS people hate on that Oxnard album but that shit is fire.

Which you had to have recognized watching the video.
But the next video she posted, live at midnight, was a tribute in her home. She's apparently opened it up as an artists space for creatives. Seen in it are a bunch of young talented people eagerly working with her to perform an impromptu tribute to Malik Abdul Basit...on the day of his Janazah.

it hits a lot of sensitive topics for me. mental health, she feels a sense of betrayal and loyalty to Malik B

out of common decency I wont comment any further, suffice to say I've felt a lot of what she conveyed for a long time

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

Pulling away a facade to show the corrosion within.
OKPs foundation and initial success included women...Angie made this place, Black Lilly was a showcase for women performers, these boards used to be at least evenly split by gender. All of that is gone, it didn't happen for no reason. Most of the stories she details are descriptions providing insight into the erosion of this woman free place and the exploitative way with which it was done. Look at how this current iteration of the place just went through scandal over similar issues with the former CEO.
But, the point of her divulging these things wasn't even about that, it's an effort to achieve proper recognition of Malik Abdul Basit's death...beyond that horrible article on the homepage and the seemingly unimportant IG musings by two people, or lack of acknowledgement at all publicly by many others.

I didn’t watch all of it but to get on the Roots for paying her $500 instead of $2500, ma’am you accepted that rate don’t get on them after the fact.

And to reveal apparently Jill got it in in high school is so messy and not cool and it is not cool also she said Jill was mad at the Roots.

So messy.

$500 to be on stage or nah? Either you have someone else who pays more or you accept it.

She was ahead of her time. No one was cussing like that on R&B cuts back then.

and why she have to talk about Jill in HS like that? We all had our moments in HS. That wasn’t cool. Just stick the the biz and not the petty shit.

I am generally dismissive of people that are looking to pull a whole bunch of people down when things don't go their way. I guess I'll have to wait for her book so she can be more specific and tell the story in a linear fashion.

I wish people would stop using things like "bitter" to minimize what's being expressed.
She's obviously been deeply hurt by people she cared about. She's been used and cast aside by people she supported. She can be bitter. That's fine. That don't make her a liar.

It's a perfectly valid way to feel if you've been messed over.

Now I do think there are spots where she's a bit extra, but I can understand her view.

“bitter.” It’s become yet another way to be misogynistic and undermine our legitimate critiques. I’m from Philly and the stuff Jag has been saying has been whispered quietly for years. I wish her well and hope that her words inspire these folks to be better and do the right thing by Malik. Inshallah.

I do agree with what you said about Jill even though she’s problematic as hell.

I believe everything she says.

What I don't like is that she's made herself the arbiter of what giving Malik his "proper shine" looks like, though I do think Questlove's IG "tribute" was wack as fuck.

I don’t think anyone who knew Malik’s contribution to the band thought that oils anecdote was adequate. Other people Jag called out did no tribute whatsoever. I think she has a valid position in that dude deserves better. Thought’s IG Post was decent. I’m still confused why they couldn’t work with Malik more. There are members of rock bands with way more issues than Malik who still stay involved in their bands. I remember a story about Malik only wanting to do East Coast dates but I never understood why that meant he couldn’t still rock on a few album cuts per album.

Peace,

100 shows in a year all over the world. It wasn't the Roots record sales, or this site that kept them well fed. None of the Motive records releases had a breakout record, so they weren't eating off that either. Seems like anyone who couldn't keep up with a highly organized and strict program got pushed to the side.

They also feature a gang of cameos from people who are unlikely to join them on tour. You think Questo would turn down an André 3000 collab just because he couldn’t perform it live? I don’t think that logic works with how Questo and the gang have moved in the past. Even for guys like PORN, I’ve never seen him at a Roots show and I’ve been to at least ten. Ditto for even a more well known contributor like Dice.

In response to Reply # 160

Key word is AFTER he was hot. What’s funny is Dr. Dre invited their crew to his studio when they were on tour and they laughed it off. Everyone except Scott Storch. He went to meet Dre and the rest is history. But you don’t need a producer to go on tour.

>They also feature a gang of cameos from people who are

>down an André 3000 collab just because he couldn’t perform
>it live?

Having cameos is different than having a founding member on a bunch of records who won’t tour. Speaking of 3000.

One of the things JW points out is clout chasing. No shade to Philly artist but it’s just good biz to have cameos from hot acts on an album. They are trying to sell records too.

I don’t think that logic works with how Questo and
>the gang have moved in the past. Even for guys like PORN,
>I’ve never seen him at a Roots show and I’ve been to at

Again, these other people you make are just Philly cats (no shade). It’s way different than having the original sound of the 2 emcees who started the group but only BT doing the live shows.

Just my opinion.

My point was, Porn and Dice have made multiple appearances on wax and I’ve never seen them perform at a Roots show (I’ve been to many in DC, one of their major markets, and even one in New Orleans). So if not touring with the band is a disqualifier for cameos, having Porn and Dice and Truck North and Scott Storch contribute in the studio, but not join on the road, makes me wonder why they couldn’t have gotten more Malik B verses. I’m not saying feature him on every song, I’m saying a cameo every other album on like one song.

Peace,

In response to Reply # 0

She released a song about BT... and a new post about 15.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXLalzlnFs/


I listened to the several IG vids around noon today after waking up to see someone tweeting about JW and "spilling tea". I instantly thought it was about the OKP situation and/or Talib. But it wasn't... (I went back to the first video she shared a few days ago mourning Malik and worked my way to current time) and I'm still digesting it all. It's a lot. It's heavy and sad and disappointing and intense. She's hurt. Really, deeply.

This is all just rocking my entire worldview... I essentially grew up looking up to the whole OKP camp, thinking everything was peachy, investing my heart into the art. Found this place when I was a 15-year-old girl and I'm 26 now. Granted, people gone people, and I couldn't possibly expect folks to go thru their lives without running into or causing some mess. It's human nature to mess up. But I wasn't expecting to hear the things I heard, not like this (or, not hearing it to this extent, rather).

Heartbreaking all around.

I think the thing that stuck out to me the most was how Malik's addiction was seemingly framed as his choice, rather than the illness of addiction, as well as her not receiving the comfort she needed with her son's death. That kinda issue is bound to ruin any and all kinds of relationships with people you thought were down for you. And hearing about the women of Black Lily... man.

I'm just also keeping the two Jill Scott interviews she did on QLS in my mind because I JUST listened to them yesterday and it was all sounding like "it's all good, yes we hashed it out about the credit, it was a label issue, not on the band itself" from Jill and 15, so I was def confused for a second. I guess that little factoid can be disputed or whatever.

Back to Malik (PBUH); I had a feeling that things weren't as straightforward as they seemed in regard to everyone's relationship with him, but I also thought that the lack of really deep posts would be made up in the form of an actual tribute that they're working on. I also come from the frame of thinking that some people aren't always up to posting immediately about losing someone. That does look disrespectful from the outside looking in if folks post other things INSTEAD - yeah. But at the end of the day, she did make a point about people/publications not really giving Malik his flowers he deserved(s) and acknowledging how tremendous of a role he played in the group. On the other hand, some folks like me on here may be more in tune with interviews/books/random things that did give Malik his props throughout the years. But if it's not on the surface, then yeah. It’s gonna be "why tf aren't y'all boosting him more?". I pray Malik's soul is at rest.

Apart of me also wonders what Jaguar really *needs* from the band. No, I'm not talking financially (she did point out her being shorted the money she should've been making). A situation like this absolutely seems more like the "yo, I need you to take accountability for what you've done to me/against me". Which I think could be the case, especially since she's talked about being gaslit and shunned and blackballed. But, there are folks I've seen who've aired out their grievances while also saying that they don't wanna hear from the other party. Whatever it is, I really hope this gets Jag on her path to healing, and I hope they do right by her, by any means. I'm so sorry to Jag.

I just wanna make it clear that I do believe that, even though I'm obviously unaware on a firsthand account of what happened back in the early days, the misogyny/misogynoir that the women of the boards face(d) was BAD. If you were subject to that, I am so very sorry.

In response to Reply # 0


          

I'd love to hear some takes from other Black Lily artists. Going to the Black Lily is what made me start really reading the boards.

The amount of shots sent in so many different directions is just overwhelming. This was supposed to be about Malik B but she has so much resentment for so many people.

I do believe she was studied, her music didn't grab me but she was unmatched on the stage at those Wetlands Black Lily shows when it comes to presence & comfort. Anyone who ever dreamed of making it big as a performer would want some of those traits.

The Roots success didn't come from where we wanted it to come from so it's no shock that so many people were pushed aside. It just sucks when you think about what it looked like could happen back then.

the collective anxiety about what's gonna be revealed next is horrible.

I wonder how much longer it's gonna take for all of them to address this. Because like she said, every day she's gonna reveal more and more, and that's what's happening.

I'm an "I wanna hear all sides" type of person, but this situation feels like there are so many complex layers/truths being shared and she needs to be acknowledged, apologized to (and the harms need to be 100% addressed), and receive reparations (monetary and otherwise). ASAP.

because 'the only way dudes won't bother you is if you have a dude in the crew'. She said was 19 and he was 46.
- Talib in the women's dressing rooms and running from her ex-husband at a HOB venue
- The band - Dice especially - not cutting ties with her abusive ex b/c he gave them discounts on Polo gear and asking her why she couldn't just work it out with him
- the Roots fight with some frat and her beating someone with a spoon (that shit was kinda funny)
- Malik getting paid $300 a week until his death
- A LOT about Erykah and Jill. On one hand they kinda catching strays but on the other hand they've gotten so much love that she hasn't and I don't LIKE it but I understand it

then, where does that leave our interaction with shit like this, okp, shows, etc.? Or with Ahmir supposedly enabling an environment of harassment? Where are we supposed to go from here? What is the logical conclusion?

Like this has been keeping me up at night. Memories and milestones are tied to their music. My top 5 favorite songs of all time have at least 3 songs by them or feature them.

~~~~~

And you know, idk if this was the time when they all decided to ride on two different tour buses (Gryffindor and Slytherin) or were still on just one. But, if they were on two, then whose bus was Jag riding on? I have a feeling I know the answer.

Regardless of whose it was... ENABLING is ENABLING. So yeah, even tho I wonder which it was, I also believe that this behavior HAD to be known on the other bus (if there was another bus).

I hope this makes sense.

I have the perfect example of what you said above: Talib Kweli.

All the cyber-harassment and doxxing, among many other deplorable things he's done to Black women within the last month, didn't personally depress me like the way it's doing for me with The Roots. As of 2016 or so, Talib has not been my fave or someone I *checked* for like that ANYMORE.

Granted, I listened to the Black Star album RELIGIOUSLY for years and years, and learned a lot from it, felt validated. And also had Reflection Eternal and about 2 or 3 of his solo albums (that I listened to maybe twice and didn't care for) and some random songs here and there. It all just died down completely for me within the last few years because he just didn't interest me musically anymore and this was also the same time I heard about the situation with Res, in 2018. That was major thing that had me go, "oh no. I can't support this". And that was easy for me to do.

And when the time came and everything crashed on Twitter, even though all the evidence of his behavior is proof he's trash, I didn't view him like I do The Roots and Common, as guys who "were the noble ones". So when my friends were feeling bummed about Talib, or even R K*lly, or C*sby, I understood it, but couldn't relate in the same way they can't relate to what's happening now, with these guys.

it's not that I believed with my whole naive heart they were "noble" lmao because no one is. We have the books/interviews/lyrics to show the track record of some of them partaking in some of these allegations.

I see people say they're not surprised to hear about the adultery, womanizing (amongst most touring musicians in general) because it was a loud secret... and Black Thought even mentioned in an interview with Method Man and Heather B. a few years ago about how he and his wife were in marriage counseling. He also literally said in his song "Thank You" on SOT1:

"And to my lady baby, thank you for forgiving me...
Gangsta and fly hoes, freaks and side shows...
Even though I was spazzing boo, I wasn't mad at you..."

Context clues.


What I was trying to say earlier was that I always separated them from those who seemed "capable" of committing these acts of alleged s*xual assault, physical abuse, shifty business, creepy behavior, etc. because of what's shown and said to us. (and this is where the stereotypes of "other kinds of rap" and bias come in). I guess this what she and y'all meant by the "neo-soul movement was a lie".

helped me gravitate towards their music, and I'm talking about the whole SoulQuarians output. All the groups and albums that came from that era that I discovered a decade later, it really helped me fall in love with music and find an escape. Those core albums are the only ones that I never stopped listening to even when I was going through my other phases and listening to different kinds of music. I guess since I latched on at that age, that's why it's hard for me to come to terms with this. Damn near 9 years! And Com's lyrics is my signature. Sheesh

But if I have to step back, I have to, one way or another...

Dude was still plugging names and album projects.

If that’s all he had to say about him publicly you can tell there is some type of resentment or bad blood.

He basically said Malik was always flaky

87. "What 15 actually said:"
In response to Reply # 78


          

A lighter tale of Malik Abdul Basit

As a true Bol from philly you know that one’s oil game HAD to be on point. I came in this game rockin oils since age 9. Most of yall joke about me smelling like Breakfast (thx Kravitz clan) but long before my vanilla combo mastery my true graduation from basic Frankincense & Myrrh morphed into new exotic philly jawns like “Mecca Musk” & “Somali Rose” & “Egyptian Musk” & yeah…..”Money On the Street” & “Hug My Neck Aphrodisiac”

Malik introduced me to that world.

Even before Malik was in the Roots —-he was my oil guru.

IYKYK...there is no panic like the last drop of oil w no re-up in the future.

I been bugging Malik for my “$OTS” re-up. Paged him 911 (ask your parents kids) he was hard to catch but I knew I had some leverage bait this time: these were my last days interning at #RuffhouseRecords. I was everyone’s plug for all free cd’s/lp’s & especially Kriss Kross posters for anyone’s younger sibling or cousin

Tim Dog’s sophomore Do or Die just came out (his “I Get Wrecked” single w KRS made brief noise for a sec) & I had 6 songs from the not yet released Cypress Hill “Black Sunday” lp——that was just enough to garner a “word? BET!” confirmation from Malik to tell me that him & Mussa (remember the cat dozing off watching TV in our “Distorion” vid? Him) would scoop me in a half hour. Confused I thought it was gonna be an even exchange (having paid him upfront weeks ago at a show I thought he was gonna drop it off——ha ha ha yeah ok

They arrive to my west philly house and then Malik breaks the news to me: we gotta take a trip to “Norf” to get the oils. I wasn’t planning on this. But oh well.

It was 3pm.

Malik told me the particular fragrance I dug was a mixture of 3 import oils from Saudi Arabia (his parents often taught school there) my dad was already on his cynic “fool me once….” bag with Malik from a previous sale: “that boy tried to hustle me with Blue Nile that wasn’t all the way Blue, I know Johnson’s baby oil rebranded when I smell it”)——Malik told me we’d have to run to grab 2 oils & then West Oak Lane for the other oil, & then to South Philly so he can mix em together.

Uh (checks Swatch) ok.

So car music provider & I’m covering gas. —“Let’s run to Halal Cheesesteaks at the Steak n Take spot on broad” so now I’m covering food too.

it’s now 4:50 pm & I’m livin somewhere between that frustrating barbershop episode of “Atlanta” & Scorsese’s ’85 classic “After Hours”—we didn’t even make it to our 2nd stop yet because the untold added on errands list got bigger: “lemme stop by the shop & get my license right quick” (wait WHAT?!?!!?) “aye Troy!!! Troy!!!! pull over you remember Troy” (uh no I don’t)——now we giving Troy a lift (where to? dunno) —what I do know is Dog’s “Timberlands” is on it’s 3rd rotation.

It’s 6:15 & I still don’t smell good yet.

“so Mir you think we gonna be on Elektra? Or maybe Def Jam?, or maybe like Jive cause that’s where KRS and them signed right?”……when is the EastWest showcase? We should do “Grits” yo”……..

Sitting in a car pondering & dreaming about our future. A year ago we were busking for change in a shoebox on South St. & we might have a record deal BEFORE summer??!??!

Round 8 o’clock I think we made it to his boy’s crib where he left the remaining oils——by the 5th rotation I’m realizing Tim Dog used the “Dove” Cymande sample I wanted to mess with.
Malik promised soon as we hit South Philly he will “hook the jawns up” & he’ll gimme triple the oils for my trouble.

Sounds fair.

My eyes are slowly opening. The car is parked. Its dark. I’m assuming I’m in South Philly cause this looks like Riq’s grandma’s section. I have no clue what is going on. The digital dashboard clock says 9:03, there is a seatbelt mark on my face & neck, my half eaten steak & leftover fries are in a bag on the seat next to me. With the exception of the bus driving down the block it is Vanilla Sky empty. I’m in the back of this cramped hatchback—for what seems like a plane trip to LA—-in the back of my mind I was like “shoulda listened to dad” I have no clue where I am—-I got out the car. Grabbed my trizzy (ask a Philadelphian) took the bus to Walnut St & took the 42 home.

It was 10:45.

"A month later rehearsin for a show in germantown about to open for The Pharcyde Malik gave me a bag of like 10 exotic oils. Think of Kennan Ivory Wayans in “Hollywood Shuffle” getting his jherri curl activator back) but I was still semi pissed but I smelled good so forgiven. Somewhat……

I joked “….and this mofo just gonna leave me in the back of a car in South Philly on a Friday night!!!!!!!!!”

?uest and Malik B knew each other for decades. The man is likely very much grieving his death. He's not obligated to share anything that he's feeling or anything about their friendship/relationship with the rest of us. And if he does share something on IG/Twitter/FB/whatever, it's not on us to determine if it's "good enough."

He doesn't "owe" us or anyone else anything when it comes to speaking on his relationship with Malik B.

No one knows how he's processing this, so it's not our affair to judge if any response he gives is "heartfelt" enough.

I don't know and can't judge how grieves publicly for each individual person who passes. There may be some memories and emotions that he's not comfortable about sharing about Malik B. I personally don't know, and it's not my affair.

Again, it's not for any of us to say, "Well, you said X about Friend A, why couldn't you also say X about Friend B?"

what matters, is as fans of the music and the legacy, some of us would hope to see a little bit more done for Malik B.

as individuals, we can all respect their own autonomy for their feelings and experiences

but a statement was put out and god forbid someone reads, takes in the words shared and has a negative experience with it.


i don't think ?uest or anyone in this post, hell even jaguar did anything egregious

we just would hope for more as a tribute to someone who was much more than a sometime collaborator

but they'll argue under my reply using baseless accusations and reaches while also calling people names etc. rinse, repeat

to mourn someone they knew and you did not.


You don't know anything about their relationship other than what they choose to tell you. They have no obligation to share anything.

Human relationships are complicated AF and those relationships only get more complicated as time pass and your life leads you down different paths.

I got homies who I thought were my NFL that I don't even want to speak to today and if I tried to explain to anyone what changed between us I don't think of us can articulate it in any way that makes sense.

When you think about what you are asking for you should see how freaking selfish it is because what you want from a people who have these complicated relationships with other people is the closure to satisfy you, not the actual person who had the relationship with them.

There is this new phenomenon where the internet will you attack you for choosing privacy over public displays and I hate it. It's pretty awful.

In response to a website not honoring an individual who is part of the foundation of that site...you wriggle out a way to make it about you, as a justification attempt.

246. "His poor feelings. You remember how his alias came to be?"
In response to Reply # 208


  

          

Flo Brown said some defamatory shit about The Roots in an OkayArtist post.
Questlove deleted it and left all of the other replies, with a blank space at that 15th numbered spot.
Then he created his alias.
...a hilarious inside joke right?
Now we find out what she was being silenced over, and the joke continues.

y'all some fucking goofies.

edit: i have no opinion on whatever transgressions questlove has or hasn't made against Jaguar, Flo, or whomever. i wasn't there. i'm not privy to any of that shit. i'm sure quest has done some foul shit because he's just a human working a business where foul shit is not unusual.

however, to judge how someone remembers their people on their death is really no one's place.

YOU are the one overly concerned with that man's personal feelings.

Also, the actual individual with the beef is the person who this post is about. She's had plenty to say, if you choose not to listen fine but you're ignoring the reason why, she's explained in great detail why she feels the way she does.

I’ve heard conflicting stories about who the song is about.. Black Though, Mos and Talib’s name have come up.

It’s written by Santigold and sang by Res.

Might be both of them telling stories about multiple dudes

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

if not decades of pain and hurt are behind her words in the videos.

I mainly wonder how long the bridges have been burned between her and the folks she's mentioning in her videos. Have to think ties have been severed for many many moons now.


Sadly enough, I have to think the shenanigans she's referring to are pretty commonplace given the access to money and fame that the music industry can bring and how that can change folks.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Reading the replies, I'm thinking, "I mean how bad is it really?"

I'm 23 minutes into this and it's really fucking bad. I don't know if it's all fair to say or believe - like that she made Okayplayer for example, but the toxic culture she was very obviously a part of is heartbreaking. I think everyone knew the Me Too movement would come for hip hop eventually...but I didn't see The Roots being part of that.

In terms of the Malik B stuff...well, having a friend or family member who's an addict is just such a tough thing. I can't imagine having someone who is a business partner - it just adds another layer to how tough navigating that can be. What might be seen as turning your back on someone actually might be helping them. But I can't really disagree with how Jaguar feels...she was there, I wasn't.

It's all just so fucking sad.

In response to Reply # 0


          

even though many of us on OKP knew these dudes weren't shit for the longest, even she didn't think of Common or Black Thought when she thought of misogyny and rape culture in hip-hop. They were all shielded by their Black power rhetoric. I was a bit young to really be in the mix back then, but I went to a lot of shows. I saw and felt things that made me uncomfortable, but could never really put my finger on it. I see the same ugliness from men in academia and in my political work and they usually get away with it.


I feel so badly for Jaguar, Flo Brown...even Jill and Erykah. Patriarchy/misogyny really needs to be understood by our entire community as a form of white supremacist oppression. Men really think that they have a right to a woman's body (and everything else). It's SO pervasive.

Haven’t listened to this in a while. I’m sure most people here already know this but this woman was an absolute killer on stage. Heart of the City and Song Cry? Mary J is cool and all but there was no competition between those two on that night.

when the stories are so familiar.

I'm glad she's speaking up.

Genuinely asking. I've seen nothing but support for her. I know it's hard for people to accept that artists are wildly flawed, but I personally hadn't seen people saying she's lying or something.

129. "ehhh. I've seen comments about her being an "opportunist""
In response to Reply # 126


  

          

like, how she's doing this bc she's butthurt about how her career turned out. And the personal insults/problematic points/shots fired are deflecting from the point and that's what's causing people to doubt the validity/see what the purpose is.

Don't quote me on that, that's what I've gathered from IG comments and some Tweets, pretty much.

In response to Reply # 129


  

          

She's pretty clearly upset about how she was treated as an artist AND as a woman.

Feels like the lack of tributes and love for Malik B was the straw that broke the camel's back...but it feels like she's just had years and years of resentment for how she was treated and how her career turned out.

But yeah I certainly don't get the opportunist tag - and that's a shame people are even saying that. I don't think you'd air out ALL of these people if you were just wanting album streams.

In response to Reply # 129


          

She has every right as a human being to feel how she feels and say what she's saying, but let's not pretend it's for Malik. This post will live far longer than the RIP post, and in the real world they'll be talking about her revelations sans any mention of Malik B.

I’m not sure what she wants when she says until things are made right she will keep doing this

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

to just being about being upset about Malik and how she perceived the Roots poorly treating him.

But everyone is getting hit with the strays and while grief is expressed in a multitude of ways, since she made these accusations public (not like someone is illegally posting her private videos) I think it is okay for people to have thoughts about what she's saying in these videos, whether they are sympathetic to her or not.

I can understand how holding stuff in year after year can begin to swallow you and I personally am sympathetic to that but I just wish someone would take her aside and say "Not like this, sis".

138. "she's grieving on multiple fronts simultaneously"
In response to Reply # 131


  

          

the same people she feels didnt properly honor someone close to her:

- didnt call her when her son died
- did bad business by her
- allegedly did all sorts of other fucked up things

so it's all spilling out at once. for her to have not spoken for years speaks to a strength of character

so I can tell you what does or doesn't honor that person's memory, as an objective third party.

In response to Reply # 146


          

I know we got fake OK beef, but that's not real. Malik B is real. Jag is real. All of these people being dragged into this are living breathing human beings with families and friends and careers.

Like I said, Jag has every right to be in this space. But it objectively does not honor Malik B's memory to tell the world who Jill Scott fucked in high school.

In response to Reply # 149


          

But there is no circumstance where I would tell you about how to mourn your friend.


Because I'm not an absolute piece of shit and a fucking worm.

A piece of shit and a worm would do that.

I don't think that because you did it. We have no beef. It is simply true. Please stop embarrassing everyone who had a hand in raising you and act like a human being.

184. "You lack understanding of nuance"
In response to Reply # 175


          

You certainly lack an understanding of irony, as evinced by your post about people arguing on the boards.

But back to nuance, I'm not critiquing her grief, in fact I said she has every right to feel this way and say these things.

I made an objective observation about honoring one's memory.

If I die tomorrow and people wanna go do crack and have sex with hookers in my memory, that's cool, if that's how you grieve. But don't pretend you did it in my honor because that isn't indicative of how I lived my life.

Full stop.

There was no nuance in the linked post from you.

Pick a side and stick to it consistently.

145. "Maybe his death triggered all this... maybe she can't help it "
In response to Reply # 131


  

          

and it's all coming out..

I've had instances where something happened (especially family) and it triggers forgotten memories that have been suppressed in my brain subconsciously because of the pain... it happens..

obviously she had a lot held in... Malik's death, the pain, the memories, the regrets.. And with him gone and how he wasn't part of the group anymore.. she saw all the dumb shit but everybody else is silent..

that's a enough to drive people away....


It's not proper etiquette but I understand...
