He’s always gonna have a stain on him with black women because of that Atlanta scene
Once he allowed that scene in the show and they found out he had a white wife it was over for him with that demographic
His wife not white, I think she Asian. And it was already a narrative surrounding him by that time, that's why he included it in the show. If you're talking about that S2 episode with the Drake party, wasn't Michael B Jordan tho
Thats owned by white folks lol.
All these awards/accolades is whatevs
i mean this is cool to say
but as a huge fan of this genre and participator of this culture, its value in correctly documenting and rewarding what’s happening in history, no matter who goes on to own the documentation
we don’t talk about who owns CNN, we just talk about how they’re reporting the news
I get tyler, but has bino really spew anti black s***, some off putting lyrics sure tho
https://twitter.com/MC_B00KS/status/1807729984536039561Couple of lines about his fetish for Asian women, but nothing anti-black iirc
That's why I can't take these "he hates black women!" mfs seriously. Straight black men not out here crying about Serena Williams/Doja Cat. Gay/bi black men not crying about Tyler/Frank/Steve Lacy bigging up white boys
I understand the feeling black women may have about being "at the bottom of the list" but just let people be with whoever they want
Nah he rehabbed his image. That scene ruined everything in regards to that
What scene was this lol. Which episode?
I can’t take bro seriously he got the Tyler stamp of approval and went right back to pretending to be Tyler dressing just like him in that new movie
TIL Tyler invited Hawaiian shirts
I don’t think Donald has bragged in winning and I’m pretty sure this is his first time saying something like this in acceptance lol. Ya’ll overreacting

He could have just been joking saying he shouldn’t have more Grammy’s than one of our black legends but have less black awards than a white dude there’s many ways to look at this lol. At the end of the day, I’m glad artists like him and Tyler are showing up, now we need Jay and Bey and them to forget about all that s*** and come home too lol
Imagine being this successful and still crying all the time
that's what you got from this

comparing news to an award ceremony is an interesting parallel if I must say so myself.
News (whether that's digital or by paper) is legit sometimes the only way some demographics know what is going on around their community or around the world.
An award ceremony of the "committee of validation" (one of drake's best one liners btw) doesn't fill that mandatory of boxes
and before you or anyone else assumes, no, I also haven't been watching the Grammies for the better part of a decade.
The academy doesn't determine what I like. Not about it "being cool to say" but it don't determine the value I place on my favorite artists (most of which havent even gotten nominated lawl)
aint even been paying attention when Dot started winning his lol
that's what you got from this
Award shows exist to do self suck. Nobody cares. He got an invite to do shots with Tyler Perry and he's sulking

it’s not necessarily about validation or determining what you like
it’s about giving all types of blackness its deserved coverage. the same point goes for “blazing hip-hop and r&b” style urban radio and other platforms, a lot of them shut out a certain type of blackness and in certain ways it does restrict or negatively impact the community
it’s a representation argument, not a validation argument.

and how many years, hell, decades are we gonna ask and beg for the channel that told us Little Brother was too smart for their network to showcase their "Lovin It" music video that they need to start showing more alternate black acts?
nigga they nominated Jack Harlow but not an actual black Lil Nas X bro BET can eat a d*** for all I care lol.
@AmoryBlain said it earlier in this thread, yeah as the "alternative black kid" growing up you do yearn to feel a sense of acceptance from every nook and granny of the black community but as you get older you just gotta realize that
1. the zeitgeist just has way too big of a reach on niggas to fully expect the entire monolith of them to change on "what's popping and what's not" (we just now started getting rid of the stigma of "oh edm that white people s***" this decade to be honest) and you instead focus on the ones that you can reach.
2. until ownership changes and modifies it to a place where everything isn't censored like a nick jr show to where one of the greatest artists of all time's speeches got misinterpreted as a potential P Diddy praise speech due to "he said a few bad words" when it was really an honest reflection on fatherhood, really really rubs me the wrong way.
tl;dr: representation is important but also, I'm not sticking around at a party where certain niggas clearly aint wanted at
This was obviously a joke.
Good comedians know jokes are funnier when there's some truth to them.
nah I was a big gambino fan back in the im just a rapper days. After Tyler dropped bro was never the same lol Tyler got a heavy mark on Camp I lost all respect for Childish Gambino's music when I heard that album.
Camp sounds nothing like Goblin wtf?
