If you dont get it well I dont want to be like so many on the board and accuse you of being a CAC
hole up. making a song doesn't have sheit to do with 'sellin out' if u believe in the message and are the person recording it. LL ain't changed in that he always made songs w/mass appeal that had a broad message. you may not LIKE the song but that ain't got sheit to do with 'sellin out'.
sheit, i know LL puts his money where his mouth is far as assisting black folks and the causes that are important to us goes......
LL done lost his fucking mind. Power corrupts, money deludes. Lived in georgia for damn near a decade (going back to cali for real). Soon as black folks saw a confederate flag we were ready to fight. Fights were breaking out in schools over white kids wearing confederate flag T-shits. black kids started wearing the red, green & gold. The good white folk ended the controversy by integrating the confederate flag into the state flag (sarcasm). I saw the confed flag as the enemy flag, but couldn't stop them from rocking their colors (motherfuckers was just trolling anyway). Nor could they stop us from rocking ours. So had to let the issue go. It was sweet revenge to go to all the confederate monuments & sites and have a good time. I used to ride my bike around stone mountain with great joy as the nostalgic confederate groupies on tour buses looked on, mad as hell, b/c i'm living & having fun at their sacred white supremist site. Fuck they minds up when black folks starting rocking the confederate flag in red, green, gold & black.

Did you LISTEN to his lyrics? WORST thing I EVER heard. Seriously. I dropped the AOL link becausee it has the lyrics written out. Have a look and THEN come back again
Songs an immediate fail as he starts the song with "Dear Mr. White man".
"If you dont judge my gold chain, I'll forget the iron chains"
... WHAT THEE FUCK!!???
Wow.
This has to be a joke. Has to be. Geesus Crice LL.

i did listen to the song. would i ever play it in my ride or on my ipod in the gym? heck no! that song was not hot!
but making a whack song isn't the same as being a 'sellout' cause you recorded it. actions you take for and with other black folks is the ruler that should measure whether or not someone is down. sheit, u gotta remember that LL was the first rapper to ever perform at a presidential inauguration (bill clinton's first one) and he took a lot of heat from some rappers behind that. but his point was you can't change nuthin from the outside. i don't agree with some of the lyrics he used but not all brothers view sheit in the same way or even solutions on how to get past issues either
Bro, if you can listen to those submissive lyrics and that entire apologetic, begging for inclusion, self pitying "im so misunderstood" bullshit LL was spouting and NOT consider it selling out then you are either deaf or full of shit. That song is an abomination.i did listen to the song. would i ever play it in my ride or on my ipod in the gym? heck no! that song was not hot!
but making a whack song isn't the same as being a 'sellout' cause you recorded it. actions you take for and with other black folks is the ruler that should measure whether or not someone is down.
i know for a fact that LL has put his money where his mouth is in terms of financially backing small black biz owners. helps young black kids from low income areas with educational needs and other sheit like that.
if u don't get that recording a song about reconciliation w/some western artist is NOT sellin out black folks then you have absolutely no idea of what 'selling out' even means. sellin out is changing the way you are so that WHITE FOLKS will like you. newsflash: white folks been liking cool j dayum near 30 years -- his first joint came out in 1985 -- so u thinking that he recorded that song just so white folks will like him 'better' is pretty ridiculous
Do you know why they call it "selling out"? Because the implication is that there is a change in behavior or practice that can be interpreted as a person going against his self interest, prior beliefs, or displaying a willingness to compromise himself or what he does or should stand for. That being the case, a persons history or prior actions does NOT prevent one or ones actions from being labeled as "sellout". In fact, it only cements it as a possibility. LLs alleged track record of helping blacks in no way negates or excuses the level of shame associated with those lyrics and the execution of that song. That shit was atrocious and very offensive.
That song was less about reconciliation and more about begging for acceptance while catering to steretypes. Muthafucka rapping about doo rags and offering forgiveness for slavery in exchange for not being criticized or profiled for wearing gold chains. GTFOHWTBSN!
u totally misapplied the definition of 'sellout' in this case. has LL changed his behavior in order to be accepted by whites? nope. are his words in the song a reflection of statements he's made in the past in magazine articles and tv interviews when asked about similar topics? yep. dude ain't changed his tune at all.
so now you're gonna either have to allege that cool j has been an undercover 'sellout' for over 20 years or just accept that he sees solutions to racial problems differently than you. but somebody that puts finances and work in to help lift the black community isn't a 'sellout'. in fact, it's the last thing a sellout would do

He knew he was wrong... he knew it.
When he got in the booth and said that first line, he knew it was wrong
He won't be made to apologize for this either
i don't believe 80's or 90's LL would make this song.
Damn Right, im done quoting you. Justify this debacle all you want. Its an embarrassment. Fuck LL and anyone defending this horseshit song.
if u check out the interviews he did back in 1992 around the time he performed at the clinton inauguration, a lot of the quotes he gave pretty much mirror the lyrics he kicked in that joint he recorded with the western artist. you don't have to agree with what dude is saying at all. sheit, i know i disagree with some of the lyrics he kicked in that song. but that's a far cry from labeling cool j a 'sellout' cause i disagree with his point of view in terms of rectifying race relations.
sheit, i know bgolers better have done MORE work lifting up and helping to improve the black community through volunteering and financially backing small black owned businesses before downing somebody else who does while labeling them a 'sellout'. cause if a 'sellout' actually does MORE to help black folks in their daily lives than you do, what does that make YOU

This coming from a light skin ugly ass bitch...if I post your picture will you run amd snitch like last time?

you're trying to make his overall message of togetherness cancel out the actual dumb ass sentences this nigga spoke. why i don't know.
FOH with that BS, That Nooka is really BUGGIN...

he might do more financially than me. but the other stuff? wrong tree.
and this is a far cry from race relation solutions.
he said forgive my gold chains ill forgive the iron chains.
SLAVERY BRUH..
there's just no way to defend this.
uh....actually he did. while not verbatim the overall message was the same.
and i already spoke on not agreeing with some of the lyrics in the song. but you can't take several bars from a whack country western song then use them to claim that the man is a 'sellout'.
take for example that gold chain line. when i heard that sheit i was like
cause it just rubbed me the wrong way. it's like how can u even say that? but if u put THAT LINE against the overriding message of the ENTIRE song then it fits with what the country dude was singing when he said 'neither one of us can rewrite history'. both dudes are saying basically that we don't know each other, don't really trust each other, but let's put away preconceived notions and work on the future and not dwell on the past. now imo, u don't need to ask someone to ignore america's history on slavery in order to do that, but then again he ain't asking ME to do sheit. he's saying what HE will do
Robert E. Lee Could've Quit Then .......
What's The Point In Learning An Untrue Fact???

There is no forgetting the past because the "past" is still in effect in the present and theres a whole lot of reparations to be paid on top of it.
yes the fuck he could go against it if he actually believed it was wrong
his hands weren't fucking tied
man i know you sweatin like a diabetic hog dancing around over there. the verbatim part is exactly what i mean and since you're so sure he said something like this before i welcome you to point me to it.
you gon post some vague ass shit and try to connect the dots on some philosophical shit and it's gon get dikembe'd.

u can contact the source magazine, ebony magazine, black beat magazine and also rap sheet and inquire about back issues from 1992 and 1993. each one ran pieces on cool j with a political slant since he made history by being the first rap artist slated to perform at a presidential inauguration.
and it's only 'vague' to mutha fukas who don't really like to read or are to lazy to research sheit themselves. and for you to claim that i was on some 'philosophical shit' let's me know that you NEVER took a philosophy class in college. the center does not hold for you.
((and yes that was a play on words in reference to the book. somehow i doubt you caught it let a lone read it. do yourself a favor; order it on amazon ))
