Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Explains Altercation With Rapper T.I.

[IMDAZED]

Isn't country music the greater seller though? Most of their songs seem to be about the gal, whiskey n beer, and good 'ole farm/outdoors lifestyle... At least from sampling here and there infrequently.

Maybe we should have the expert NSB posters see if there's a correlation between country and stuff. They're doing such a wonderful job explaining how the white people who buy hip-hop albums are out here killing everything and living in abject poverty.

Umm noo. Tupac didn't beat any women and also never had any children. Your comparison is horrible.

The comparison is straight up accurate. It's beyond beating up women or having kids idiot. It's about being a high profile African American with too much money, unable to handle the fame, playing the gangster role in life, in fighting amongst their own, can't stay out of trouble or questioning with the law, later find things go sideways. Floyd in his last all access points out on the Vegas strip where he was standing when Tupac got plunked. These guys are all thugs; sorry that's tough to hear.

Why would TI think he can fight Floyd?
Any time any regular idiot thinks they can fight a professional boxer, I say let them.
They obviously need some sense knocked into them.

T.I must've been watching too many Zelenoff videos...

[IMDAZED]

Apparently T.I. got lumped up by one of the TMT boxers. Probably the best performance of their career thus far.

worry about your own kids man..do u know Floyd outside of what u see on camera and what the media says?? and only a complete idiot would get married in this day n age, do u see what men go through in divorce court, marriage is a racket..im cool with having kids but marriage is out the window. .. and who cares if hes at a strip club, since when does that make u a horrible person.

Won't even respond to how uneducated you sound; shoulda stayed in school, rube. Lol.

Was it one of the ones who got caught juicing?

If so, T.I still got his 0.

But i understand floyd being annoyed by TI approaching x2.....bt he kinda started it by saying get da Fck out my face when he only wanted to talk. And even if floyd would kill TI in a fist fight with him being a pro boxer doestnt mean u should let him disrespect u like that.....sometimes it aint about losing or winning a fight...its about respect. ya feel me

[IMDAZED]

Was it one of the ones who got caught for juicing?

If so, T.I still got his 0.

No extra testing means T.I. takes the L.

I think under the hyperbole there is probably a little truth to all these claims, just not to the degree people express it as.

I don't think hip-hop is the sole culprit. Back when salsa music came about in PR ( 70's ) it was used as a medium to reflect on the values and differing lifestyles of an entire generation. The music was an expression of their difference to the older generations. The songs went from playful to downright sexual in nature. It toned down after some time...

However, as a musical form, it was never used to incite or promote violence etc. There is a lot of anger and very little tolerance expressed in urban music.

You know what we used to talk about back in HS, how come there is also a lot of anger in some darker shades of rock music, but those guys never seem to bother a fly?

This may come as a shock to you but...those neighborhoods were poor before hip-hop existed.

Second, since all you wanted to be like was Snoop and Dre, I'm assuming you've shot at least one undercover cop?



70% of hip-hop albums are bought by white folks. So tell me, how do they emulate hip-hop artists?

They dont,, they are just posers, and like i said in my post, i was an idiot back then to think it was cool.. I was fortunate to have a great role model in my life.. some are not that fortunate and fall prey

one thing u should know is that 70% of the consumers of rap music are middle class white youth who have nothing in common with the lyrics they are listening to.. also, the violence in the hood has no connection to rap music, what you are witnessing are communities in drug/gang warfare, in the 70s-80s the violence was worse and rap wasn't heard of. rap music is now just a scapegoat for everything that was going on before it. its much easier to point fingers at rap instead of trying to address the real issue, which is poverty, mass incarceration, a public school system in horrible shape and that operates as a pipeline to prisons, and the deteriorated family unit, these things take effort and dedication to address and fix, but its easy to blame a rapper that way you ignore the real problem.

How many drive by shootings were there in the 50 and 60s compared to the 90s and today...
Im not trying to place the blame solely on rap, but they are not helping matters at all

Thank you. I've read some incredibly dumb posts today from some ignorant ****s who should stay silent and learn something instead of commenting like they know what the heck they're talking about. This buffoon of a clown actually wrote that if the poor aren't being influenced by hip hop then why are their neighborhoods the way they are. Please remember to put that up for 2014 Dumbest Post of the Year.

Tell me how many drive by shooting their were in the 50s and 60s... of course poorer areas always gonna have some crime, but from the late 80s till today they have had the most violence and horrible conditions... To say rap music glorifying it doesnt matter is not acurate...
And i do know what im talking about,, how many hoods are in Zambunda or wherever you claim to be from.... I lived my whole live in chicago and peoria, and in my 20s donated thousands of hours to under priveldeged kids and gave them boxing lessons, drove them to competitions, bought their epuipment, feed them on road trips, so dont act like i dont know what im talking about... Plus in my younger days i dealt drugs from 15-25 years of age, have been involved shootings twice, and spent the majority of my time as the only white guy "below the hill" which is the ******... My best friend is a black guy that i vacation with every year...
Im not just some idiot white dude spouting off at the mouth, without ever actually being part of it...

Even if they can or can't, my point stands. Those 70% aren't going out and killing people and they aren't the reason for poverty. It's just idiotic to assume hip-hop is the cause of that.

I never said hip hop is the cause of it... They are doing nothing to help it though.... Name a rapper that raps about good stuff, like saving money, doing good in school, etc...
Obviously hip hop didnt start it, but its the most influential force in urban communities and it does nothing to bring people up, all it does is glorify the negatives..

Your generalizing way too much, and it's not a good look.

Disagree about Robert Johnson founder of BET the guy turned BET into a modern day minstrel show, He's more responsible for promoting derogatory black stereo types then almost anyone. He held the power and he chose profit over leadership.

But you seems to value corporate wh0res who have got rich who didn't really stand for anything, explains why your such a fan of Oscar

STFU,, your an idiot,,, i value corporate values,,,, no i value people working hard, being smart, and being sucessful...
Oscar and magic johnson have both turned their sports money, into big business and revitlaized alot of worn down urban communities with their developments, which in turn created jobs in urban areas which is greatly needed...
To think that is a bad thing is completely ******ed and shows you dont have a high school education...
Now get out of here and let capable posters like IMDAZED debate this...
