|
| i believe for Black artists selling out has always involved subjugating ... |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 45
|
 They've been doing that their entire careers. |

 re: your last paragraph |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 49
|
| Love how you only responded to the last paragraph. |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 52
|
| because the rest is a viewpoint that i disagree w/ and arguing about it.... |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 56
|
| No, it's because you realize you have no possible... |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 65
|
| only you're totally ignoring what the are doing to "make white ppl... |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 69
|
| Wrong. |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 72
|
| lol, it always boils down to money w/ people like you |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 75
|
| Guy - you mentioned money below your damn self. |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 77
|
| you think these are the "later years" of their career? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 81
|
| So what's the problem then? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 83
|
| its not that i "dont like America" |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 85
|
| if they would have continued to be a hippity hoppity group? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 88
|
| What this all boils down to is that "sellout" |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 93
|
| also its a shorthand term that makes Brew very, very, very upset |
|

|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 57
|
| LOL @ "the easy job" and "when they didn't have to" |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 60
|
| why argue the point when you can just name call? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 66
|
| Because when I argue the point you ignore when I prove you wrong. |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 67
|
| no matter how bad you want that to be true its not |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 70
|
| Wait, is this a real post? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 73

|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 76
|
| What else is this board for? |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 78
|
| maybe "selling out" is too mature a concept for you to handle |
|
Apr 03rd 2014 | 87
|
| Well, considering you seem to, for the most part, be all alone... |
