I'll be damned if I slave for some white crackers”

Also this same rapper wrote a song called “F Donald Trump “ nice huh ?

It's an embarrassment.


America will be a complete embarrassment a hundred years from now when it is entirely torn to pieces and renamed.

Wherever that intersection is, in LA, I would advise that you avoid it after dark.

Did you know that that term originated from the cracking sound of the overseers whip?



Did you know that the term Honk-y originated from the solicitation of black females by white males who would come "honk" their car horns for service?

I'm not quite getting why this guy is all of a sudden a saint ? I do understand that he did help the local community , and that is a good thing but I've seen some instagram stuff of his. One in particular sort of tells me he is just another ignorant hood rat. He was in a plane, and was stating how some white cracker (an elderly person, you could see in the background) told him to put his headphones on (it appeared he had been watching a movie on his phone) and he didn't like it and that old cracker was lucky he didn't get slapped and he would deserve it because of slavery. And that respect is earned. Now keep in mind, his statement was full of profanities. The irony is, he lost the whole "respect is earned" thing by disrespecting all the others on the plane with his phone blasting away in the first place.


Something tells me this is his really attitude towards people, not the saint like one the media is giving him.

Cracker means a white person... Aka democrat, cracking the whip.

Aside from Creepy Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, he sure likes to bring the whip back.

Good find.

Have done much technical work around the area, Carson, east Torrance... For example MA Com was (is?) over there. They make cockpits for fighter jets. Many Hispanic and Asian folks working there iirc.

It wasn't always like that. Late 80s to early to mid 90s was when rap was at it's best.

He's the sanctified 'enlightened thug' that is so "deep" (i.e he writes poetry and wants to help the kids now) .


Tupac had the same noteriety. Nipsey was basically a "reformed" gang banger and "socially conscious" but he and his "homies" still were the type to Crip walk, and remind people of who they "used to be" for the sake of credibility despite whatever changes they allegedly made in their lives.

He had the same catatonic, schziphrenic personality of walking that fine line of "setting an example" and also showing you "how we get down in Crenshaw" when the time calls for it.

I remember when this came out, I knew exactly what he was about:

WHen he was shot dead in front of his business...I wasn't the least bit surprised. The guy who did it was another gang banger who he probably slapped and through up gang signs in front of at some time in the past.
