    Now I do agree that there needs to be a real discussion and discourse on how to bring the whole Diaspora wars to an end. Because imo it’s just became a “big d*** competition” where we really should be focusing on pushing each other forward.

    But in this case no matter what he’s been in Atlanta longer than he was ever in the UK or Dominica (I think that’s where his fam from I could be wrong). And that’s where he became a man.

    Well yeah but again, now he’s got his passport he’s flooding back into who he wants to be as a worldly individual with connections to the diaspora.

    But “the culture” is allowing this?

    You asked me why teen actors would say things to endear themselves during promo cuts for their TV shows?

    No I didn’t. I asked you what Michael Rainey said. But don’t even worry about it.

    The original influential groups can come from wherever they wanna come from. New York gave it a defining style, look, name and culture around it.

    You can say that, or you can say NY is the place it became commoditized. The diversity helped Hip-Hop become what we know now as Hip-Hop, but the foundations were always practiced amongst the people

    In the end it's up for what you believe, I have a belief that melanated peoples where in the Americas for quite sometime but where separated hundred of years ago. With that comes nationalism and a divergence of cultures because of resources, contact, Willie Lynch, etc. My major point is FBA/ADOS/Soulaan/Soulani peoples were separated from the Caribbean peoples and that created the need for "Black American" culture. Yes, there are outside influences that contribute to the growth of a sound and/or practice. BA don't rightfully claim things out of Caribbean culture, at least to my knowledge, and gives it's respects to their culture they've gained from their struggle

    because this wasnt a talking point when it happened especially the example you just used

    trust, some of yall just became hip. and thats fine. just make sure you’re not being performative due to a rap beef. all im saying

    oh and believe women too, my nigga

    Then why were multiple tweets and articles done on it when it happened if no one was discussing it?

    Is it a problem it is being highlighted to a wider audience now?

    I’m not losing any argument because I’m not debating or arguing with you. You might think so in your head.. but I’m sure you think a lot of things are true in your head

    You’re playing to the audience by telling us how nonchalant you are.

    I’m exposing your original point that “the culture” is becoming weaponized as a term to gatekeep blackness

    Niggas justifying the Jamaican s*** in brooklyn but not Toronto as if the difference is significant. 350k carribbean population in TO and 370k in Brooklyn. It's not that different.

    I mean there are a lot of Caribbeans in Brooklyn but people from Brooklyn who aren’t Caribbean haven’t adopted the Caribbean influence the same way Toronto has.

    Outside of maybe using some words it’s not like they created a fake exaggerated accent or Jamaican and Caribbean slang has become embedded into the culture where even white people from Brooklyn want to talk like that. Non Caribbean people still sound like and have NY/BK influences. It’s not really the same.

    BK also has more cultural influences than Caribbean.

    what do the other mods do? cuz it seems like you're the only one who acts when people report lol

    ehh, i’ve come online & seen reports acted on by the time i check em out sometimes, so other mods do occasionally take action

    but i’d say i’m the one dealing with like a solid 95% of reports lately

    other mods stopped being active in recent times

    Kendrick doesnt have that type of connection to brag about anyway so he has to make a narrative that helps. You don't hear drake talking about it or his fans talking about it or him trying to sample his music but it is what it is, niggas like Bootsy Collins are on record saying they were inpired by Larry Graham.

    And what does that have to do with Drake’s blackness? What are you even talking about here?
