    naw for real. theres black dudes on this site that may be able to answer my question. ive always been curious about the hispanic "n" word thing. i remeber listenin to the beatnuts say it and be like, "these dudes aint black, why the hell are they sayin that?". it's just somethin ive wondered about. not tryin to stir up controversy

    Fat Joe is Puerto Rican which equals a Spanish/African mixed.
    I'm just one of the black dudes on Soulstrut...read a little....of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican

    fat joe is good but not esp versatile
    his last album was straight, aside from the 'dear mama' joint and i'm definitely burned out on 'make it rain'. i like that he veered away from the pop hits format for the most part.

    In that case, it would be a bit of ignorance from Juju and he didn't know the connection between Puerto-ricans and Blacks (since threre IS one). But most Hispanics nations DO NOT share any common grounds with Black People as a whole. So, Juju wasn't that wrong, it just dont apply for Puerto Ricans, but it's a valid statement if you are Mexican for example...So let's be fair to Juju.

    ONE thing that i wish Americans would understand (in general, not onboard), is that Spanish is NOT a race, it's a LANGUAGE first and foremost that people from SPAIN talks. Spanish comes from Spain. South Americans WASNT supposed to know about Spanish if COLONIZATIONS didn't happen. SPANISH IS NOT BLACK. SPANISH means French, Italy, Germany...it's part of Europe. It's a WHITE country. THEY HATES BLACKS as much as any other european nation, which means "a lot". THEY DO NOT RELATE TO ANYTHING BLACK. Their culture is, according to them, "purely" white. They do not feel like they are part of a "global culture" including South Americans. They hates them because they THINK they talk spanish, but they don't (according to Spanish, South Americans used a "deviated" Spanish, not the original one). It makes me sick to see all these kids in U.S. thinking that they are "spanish" and they are to be considered as Blacks.It's so much of an identity crisis that i wish i could pay them a ticket so they could visit Spain and stop considering themselves Spanish. Now if you some from Spain, you then have th right to call yourself Spanish. By the way, near Spain is Portugual. Another small white country that was part of the colonization that occurs in th 1800's. Portugueses and spanish ar Whites. Not anything alse but WHITES. Get it stright for once. Portuguese went to Africa with Belgium, France, Germany, England, etc...Thy kept three major country. To this day, those countries speaks Portuguese. Off course they went with the Spanish to conquer th New World, as did any other WHITE nation back then, and thy kept many country where they STILL talk Spanish to this day. Brazil is one amongst others. All this bullshit to say, please rememnber that Spanish are White people originally, for those who forgot. The colonies they established around the World may have a various backgrounds, it dont matter. Spain is stilla white country.

    YOU MADD?

    seriously, what is the point of this tirade?

    you are pretty critical of Spain, but remember this statement:


    They do not feel like they are part of a "global culture" including South Americans. They hates them because they THINK they talk spanish, but they don't (according to Spanish, South Americans used a "deviated" Spanish, not the original one).

    holds true as between many Latin Americans also. I have met plenty of Argentines, for instance, that think they are surperior to Mexicans and speak a more proper Spanish than do Mexicans/Bolivians/Uruguyans.

    i was mad because it reminded me a convo i had on IRC...a room known for being apathic to anything white. So here i am...I used to have countless arguments with those new-yorkers, but the one with the Spanish case was the worst. They displayed so much ignorance about the subject...it was insane. I know there's probably one or two dudes around here that needed to read that...lol. And believe me, im' not critical, just factual. Let me talk about my own country and you would see what "critical" is...

    He has some successful singles and some good songs, but generally he's so inconsistent in his style and nobody believes in him musically. No one thinks he's "authentic" in his music and image.

    1) Guys don't want be him and 2) girls don't want to sleep with him.

    Jay Z and 50 seemed to succeed where Joe couldn't.

    Its not like he's had a bad career though. I like a lot of his joints.

    Broken down so succinctly.

    YES! nice bump here...it's good to remind people of the racist toys that blow into the Strut every now and again and then (thankfully) shut up and retreat into their ignorant mindgardens.

    Man, you guys got me watching random freestyle clips...like this one.


  • Ogre, Lochness & DJ Shmeeze sound like exactly the sort of heavy in the skreets DJs that I would expect Young 'Shied to align himself with. Will DJ Tanner and Han Solo be coming through as well? Should I bring my 12 sided die?
