Im saying that that IS the idea behind the baggy clothes. Research a genre before buying into it because its hip. How metropolitan is the area you live in?
Go grab 15 random black guys. Just make sure they are "hip hopped" to the nines. Then search them. Look in the 45 pockets thos bombers have. Look in the 14 pockets the pants have. But be careful.
Then imagine having to police them, daily. Imagine.
reminds me of that scene in Easy Rider when dennis hopper asks the cop for a cigarette and he responds that filthy animals likes him and peter fonda didn't deserve anything...oh well, think i am done w/ this thread
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
OK I'll take your advice... making a mental note here... *must avoid black people in the dark with baggy pants* ok I got it... now what about black people in "normal clothes"? Should I avoid them too? Or only at night? Hmmm How about some white kids in the dark with baggy clothes? Do they have guns too? How about Asians? Arabs? Any other racial stereotypes you want to help me with here so I’m safer? God this is so scary!!! Man I dont even know if I should go out at night... or even the daytime!!!! AHHHHH!!!
my cousin is half black and the coolest guy. but even he scares the hell out of me
Esther's here and she's sick?
hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
i can't wait for him to reprise his role as Left Ear
heh, he's not a bad actor but I think hes much better behind the mic... he and Talib need to stop fucking around and come out with another BlackStar album...
cuz its amazing how many people here still insist on making personal attacks on people here.....
such as refering to people as racists,bigots,trolls,and ignorant.....even after having this forum closed for some time .......for just that reason....
what's even funnier is it was PaperPlates who called ME a troll...i asked HOW me asking a simple question; why do you think Mos Def is an illiterate thug? one he refused to answer repeatedly. why get so mad when asked to back up one's beliefs? the 'because i said so!' answer never did it for me

i have honestly never listened to any of his music. not by choice really, just because i am so consumed with another band.
would it be considered all hip-hop or a combination of that and blues?

lets not relive the thread... Speedy can go hang out with plates and be scared of people together based on the color of their skin and the clothes they wear...
It only speaks for itself if your are basing society on the one or two posters on this thread who were pretty openly racist. But you cant say it hasnt made strides since the time of segragation or MLK or any of that. I think for the most part racism today is unintentional racism. And unintentional racism is still racism certainly, but it is at least an advancement from more or less having two separate societies among the races.

WOW... ok first off you need to listen to this album...
BlackStar (with Talib Kwali) the track on here with Common is musical genius... as good as Pearl Jam is rock this trio is Hip Hop
then get Black on Both Sides (first solo album)
his last album is The New Danger and has alot of different stuff on it... a few years back he started a hard core/thrash band called with some members of Bad Brains... they were going to come out with an album and everything. BUT a man by the name Jack Johnson came out and got big and Mos couldn’t release his bands material. Why? Coincidently the band's name was The Black Jack Johnson band But alot of that hard rock stuff is on The New Danger...
its funny I bet most people don’t even know his music and are making judgments on his character... he is a much needed shinning light in this crap shity state of rap music...

I just wasn't expecting this kinda shit here. If it's like this here then it could be like this all over and I wouldn't know it. I thought people, in general, had moved way past stuff like this.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

yeah it is crazy... I also remember a boot along time ago where Ed talks about watching Bad Brains... so if you needed one there is the Mos Def Pearl Jam connection

Dont throw away the whole thread or topic based on one poster.
cuz its amazing how many people here still insist on making personal attacks on people here.....
such as refering to people as racists,bigots,trolls,and ignorant.....even after having this forum closed for some time .......for just that reason....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
back to Mos Def... cant wait for his new album... he is a musical genius.
Oh come on that isnt true. Racism certainly still exists, as we have seen on this thread, but things have certainly gotten somewhat better.
what hasnt changed???
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
so people should get away with making racist statements on the board and not get called on it?... if I get banned for it so be it...
i can't wait for him to reprise his role as Left Ear

it was a joke... but you were defending his comments and stances the whole way through...
