Replying to @TroyStarks10
No, we literally couldn’t. No black person gets such a huge following for miming some rap lyrics on beat. That’s what’s so fucking annoying.

- Replying to @Brendan_Weaver_Bro are you really going to lecture the people who made reggae what is and isn’t reggae music ? The audacity here is too much. Humble yourself when Jamaicans are speaking on THEIR culture and THEIR music. You are a guest in this culture it’s not your place to speak on it
- Replying to @blekjpgI mean. It’s a pretty big deal for a lot of them to actually go there. Lot of them didn’t get a chance to visit their motherland until they became successful rappers. Do they not have a right to reconnect with their motherland ? Is it not their freedom to portray that however ?
- Bro if you travel outside your country you’ll realise it’s everyone vs Black people. You think they like black people in Spain ? There ain’t no damn sides.
- Replying to @thaddeusmacabee and @blekjpgSome of them don’t even have living relatives who have seen Africa. Why wouldn’t it be a significant thing for them to reconnect with their roots ? Some people just want to complain about anything. Damn.
- Replying to @blekjpgI think African countries are deserving of thousands of documentaries where their citizens are the top priority. But getting mad at a documentary ABOUT Kendrick Lamar for not placing more importance on African Citizens and the geopolitics there is a bit brash.
- It makes perfect sense. A society that denigrates and criticises black people and rap music for being violent and ghetto but makes sensations out of privileged white people stepping into these spaces and putting on blackness as a costume is one I will always bully
- Replying to @arcanecovetShe’s really loud about it and they still don’t get it and buy out all the tickets to her show, standing front row. While she there screaming “BLACK SKIN, BLACK BRAIDS”. Like you can appreciate from a distance.
- You can “appreciate” hip hop all you like but it will never be your music, you will always be a guest in the culture and you will never truly understand it. Same way a black person is a guest in Polska music or Native American music.
- Replying to @Sarsath21 and @rauhling_bizzleHow much do you want to bet they’ve got their own alternatives in their own communities and languages ? Why everyone so desperate to co-opt black lingo ? Just be your damn self
- Replying to @meuwzicImagine being Indiyah in that villa and having being the only dark skin girl in the show having to do up pally pally with a bunch of white girls who you can tell don’t even have black friends on the outside
- Replying to @thaddeusmacabee and @blekjpgIt’s a mini doc by Spotify. Not a multi episode documentary by Natural History. Like 🤷🏾♂️ is there not a time and place for everything
- Replying to @charlidanielle_It’s not a reach at all. Blackness has been commodified so much it’s now being sold in the form of dog accessories to non black people. You don’t find that suspicious ?
