You idiot. Manny is not American. Manny is not African American. By your ignorant statements you illustrate that you are ignorant of the culture and life in general. Your stupid a$$ bringing up Many goes to further illustrate your ignorance. So Manny's serial affairs, ATROCIOUS albums, ATROCIOUS films, and building of a gigantic house in a province just to win an election don't illustrate insecurity? You are a naive fool. I know you are a child. What the hell do you know about Jay-Z? I can guarantee that everything that FMJ has done Jay-Z has done. The difference is how you interpret events in your ignorance. Why don't you grow some hair on your sack, travel the world, and really take the time to soak in other cultures and their nuance. Then you will understand life better.
You watch a Youtube video and now you're an expert??? Them fools are revisionists. Everybody knew Herc and Melle. The guys up in the BX just didn't have the money nor the busines sense to put together large sound systems and do the huge outdoor events and basically commercializing and making money from it like they started doing in Queens. But they still invented the creative aspect of the music, the DJing styles, the flow, the dance, and the art. Them fools in Queens was on some dumb-ass disco ****. But you are right in the aspect that there was no real starting point. There was no one song that said "This is it" the first Hip Hop song. It was more of a morphing, which brought styles of music from West Africans (in the Bronx) and Jamaicans (in the BX and BK). Queens ain't have **** to do with that.
What does Pacquiao making movies and albums have to do with his personality? I'll illustrate the point again: it's not about what you own, it's the way you act. Floyd acts like an idiot. Pretty much the whole world believes that except you. It's not because he's black or because he's rich. There are a lot of rich black guys out there that no one has a problem with. Floyd just acts like an insecure *******. What more do I need to understand about that? I don't feel the need like you to dig up his childhood and access his life to justify the way he acts. There are a lot of people who had a bad rap growing up, but they don't use that as an excuse to act like a fool. And when you say "the culture" , what are you talking about? You mean the fake-rap-mtv culture today in America? So Lil Wayne and P. Diddy are what's supposed to be representative of black people in America? I think a lot of black folks would disagree with you. Floyd has bought into that whole fake-ass culture, and it's one of the many reasons he's insecure.
You are heavily misinformed if you think Queens has nothing to do with the start of rap. That disco argument is something BX like to throw around to discredit Queens. Not sure where you get the idea Queens cats had loot, buying gear, but Hollis, Jamaica, South Jamaica is not exactly a rich neighborhood. It is ironic that you mention Jamaicans, considering Jamaica Queens - a neighborhood full of Jamaicans - along with Hollis and other east and southern neighborhoods are credited for helping start rap develop. Again, I buy more to the idea that rap started in local house parties in various parts of BX and Queens. But to give credit to BK (where I live now) and discredit Queens is just ignorance in the highest degree. I have talked to many of this early rappers for a TV doc and even old street poets like Reg E Gains - most of them will say the Queens is up there with BX in regards to helping start rap (eventually hip hop).
smart advises from B-Hop but it does look like hes a bit jalous of the money Floyd made for his fights
bhop is hating because if he wasn't a hater, he wouldn't mention all of that other bull**** unless he was asked about that specifically.
Exactly. You don't get it. So you giggle like a schoolgirl. How does he act? Only a fool like you (and weak dudes like you) would profess to "know" a man from HBO 24/7's and fight promotions. And again your fool ass can't draw the connection between movies, music, politics, and being an egomaniacal a-hole. Here is a hint, if you suck why are you doing it? I know you don't. You are a superficial clown. Um no. "The culture" is inclusive of good/bad/highs/lows/truths/lies. Then again I can't expect your simple butt to understand things like that. You look at the world like a 15 year old. :thumbsup
I'm superficial yet your defending the most superficial, immature clown in boxing. I didn't say I know pacquiao, my point from the start is that he doesn't act like an egomaniacal dickhead in public like Floyd does. I could care less about his personal life. Maybe he makes movies and music because he likes too? How does that make him insecure? Your making this out to be a racial or culture thing, which is just a bunch of bull****. It's a common copout from people like you who defend Floyd. Just be real. No body cares about what Floyd owns or what skin color he is. It's his behavior that people have a problem with. There are lot of rich black guys out there who don't flash their money and act like clowns. B Hop explained it pretty well, I don't think I need to again.
But he knows as much as you and I know. I am not saying he is right but his assumptions and judgment is as good as yours. He sees, read, and listened to the exact same thing as you. Unless you know PBF personally? He might be an angel in his private life but that is not what he decided to make his public image. Even if he was an angel, what does it say about him when he uses the 'villain' persona as his public image? Again, if people stop excusing PBF's behavior and accept it as is. He is a grown smart man. He has his motives. Good or bad, he knows what he is doing. No excuses needed from Internet Warriors.
Floyd boys should just face it, Floyd is a ****** outside the ring. no need to go all out defending him. it makes you more of a ****** than PBF is.
just when i think i may have harshly missjudged some posters on esb, they find a reason to act like the excuse making sterotypes i had them pegged for. i should be more confident in my ability to read people. b-hop = man floyd = *****
