I’m so sick of people like Busta Rhymes……who uses black American slang, wears black American fashion, and became a millionaire off black America music……insulting black Americans. We gotta start checking these people immediately. I had no idea Busta even said that
Busta Rhymes is wrong saying black americans have no culture. he is right to say hip-hop is influenced by jamaican culture. everyone who is aware, knows this! kool herc, one of the forefathers of hip-hop was born and raised in Jamaica and moved to NYC! but he's is STILL a black american. yes his heritage is Jamaican but he's born and raised in NYC in the USA. it don't make him less of a black american. he was born in the decade hip-hop started.
@@WJBrown this whole "us" thing. Ya throw it around like it's a good thing. All you "us" characters type nothing but ignorance. Your right!!! We ain't like you... ya straight butt cheeks
I'm a proud London born Jamaican but don't like hearing FBA being spoken about in negative terms. FBA are the most gifted people on earth and for that same reason have been through Babylonian systemic evil like no other.
@@tonynature And we got love for brothers like you but shit just been out of control lately with people we thought was like family only to stab us in the back. For the Record I love them black London Gangster Flicks several of them...
People will try to play it off because the truth hurts. He had to cancel his tour and had to latch on to Missy's tour. So, his comment may have something to do with the crowd's response.
@@jackieselah who owns the industry and platforms... that's more important🤷🏾♂️ Even Jay z gotta answer to the Whytman🤷🏾♂️ And ya crying over the Ricans... idiots
FBA’s are not rocking with Busta anymore. He was way too disrespectful to our culture and the music we created that he benefited from. He can continue to kick rocks even after he gives an apology to the FBA community.
It could be all of the above. His reaction amplifies it anyway. Its not a coincidence that he's been having problems with shows right after his comments kept circling in the media.
Until he said what? Where is the lie? Ricans were mot creating hiphop with blacks since the mid 70's? There's tons of footage about that. Why did the movies in the 80's like beat street and breakin have Ricans in the movies. Why was Prince markie D of the Fat boys Rican? Cmon now ya sound ignorant
@@mackl8305 even if it wasn't that's when it became relevant. No one was talking about breaking before that. No movies were showing that. You must be a southerner. Hiphop is NY bruh. There's movies on this topic.... and it took 40 something years for clowns to grow a backbone to take all this out of context. Listen you or no one else can change what actually happened. That why KRS made his statement and so did Busta and in the eyes and minds of true hiphop heads in the WORLD they hold more truth and power than this corny narrative on the internet that holds no weight. 🤷🏾♂️ Go to Japan and Brazil and Puerto Rico and Russia and you or Tariq or ya new southerners try and tell the world otherwise... KRS was and will be more relevant in that truth than this new low budget wave ya trying to spin.... Now go and put your energy into things that can truly uplift society as a whole. I got work to do
Naw, they can make mistakes on history, because they weren't there and I can still respect them for their contributions...But saying there's no culture from Black Americans is another problem.
When i was growing up in the 90s and 2000s, i knew of Jamaica, but didn't know Jamaicans. I knew of Haiti, but no Haitians. I knew of Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, etc, but didn't know those peoples. What I'm saying is, I knew black people when I saw them. Even as a I got older and starting seeing them more as distinct cultures, i still considered them, my people and wanted a coalition of all black people. However over the last several years, i have found out that all "races of color", and different dark skinned people from different countries that share African ancestry, really disliked black Americans. Even black immagrants here who built themselves off the backs of all the progress of FBAs, decided they didn't really F with us either. That's why i have learned to only f with other races and other black nations of people on an individual, mpersonal level. If we haven't did dirt in the field, so to speak, with each other, there is no way i can be truly cool with you. The trust has been eroded that far.
I use to rock with da god heavy. Saw Busta perform Arab Money at the Rock the Bells way back when. He had the crowd jumpin. Those comments he made about blk americans got me vexed tho. I see em differently now. But this has been a thing like ol boy said. This ain't new.
I think alot of fba really didnt know Caribbeans looked at them so negatively. Us being in ny definitely know but fba always been on this black is black love for all black ppl thing. But now theyre aware and fba not playing with them anymore
Him claiming hip hop was born in Jamaica, his comments about black Americans. I'm a lifelong fan, but that was it for me. He couldn't pay me me to come see him
FBA/indigenous Americans standing on business. Aniyunawiya over here. Edit: Martin Luther King, before the pilgrims we was here. Im being exile on my own land...
Personally, speaking as a FBA, I've never considered our People to be against, comparing or even competing against Caribbean Blacks, because we all have 1 common natural born enemy
Idk exactly when it started but in ny i started noticing the snobby attitude toward black americans around mid to late 2000s. That was also around the time everybody stopped listening to ny hiphop and focused on the south
I notice that to. Alot of Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian, Cuba flags all over. Then they down us, but walk, talk, and even join our FBA gangs. It's Jamaican crips' in Brooklyn, yet we have no culture? You see any FBA in the Haitian Zoe's?
@@yessir8805 Haitians in Florida don't act funny towards black Americans in Florida even though they actually got a reason to. We used to do them wrong until they earn their respect.
@@yessir8805 this is why FBA folk get laughed at and not taken seriously. Who TF is proud of claiming a gang? "Joining FBA gangs" FOH. No one with sense would be proud of that.
The crazy thing about this whole conversation is that black Americans after elementary school, we don't really care where you come from. You were just black to us at that point. All this talk about Black Americans vs this group or that group of diasporans is completely one side, because we've always been too focused on groups actually oppressing us to really feel a way about other black folk outside America. Up until recently we didn't even know other diasporans had any issues with us, all this 'no culture' talk we never paid it any real mind because it was coming from people dressing like, talking like, rapping like us, unless they popped up at some carnival type event and broke out their accents, we didn't know they weren't Black American. We thought it was just jokes. But in the last few years we started actually noticing that it was coming from a place of legit disrespect and we just not going for it. Not here in our home where we fought for black immigrants to even have legal rights to be here, because the US govt was actively excluding y'all.
Omg this! I been seeing these comments and thinking the same thing. But not just with Vlad but other vultures too. Quick to cancel they brothers and support the opps.
@@julesgordon1109 As long as it's not based on appearance...We should cancel. Vlad has never said that black people did not have a culture... Can't keep crying about another man.
@julesgordon1109 You're right, and at the same time, you're wrong. A lot of people have been moving away from it and he's been having fits about it Number 2 Busta Rhymes openly insulted black Americans. It needs to be consequences for that him and any other celebrities
Honestly I’m from Louisiana and I’m like 1 out of every 1,000 that listen to NY rappers like Busta. He’s in my top 5. So I thinks it’s the whole southern mentality plus the whole ridiculous remarks he made
Louisiana is the South it's majority Black Americans down South It ain't a bunch of Caribbeans like New York. I definitely believe the people there was turning their back on him.
Soul food, soul music, jazz, gospel, blues, rock and roll, langston hughes, james baldwin, the black church, aba basketball, the negro league. Busta needed to watch his mouth
Well Busta himself is in his early/mid 50's. Most of those 80's and 90's Rappers and their fans are literally middle age to retirement age. Their younger fans may be early 40's. Most people over 40 ain't in the best of health, especially if they played sports as youths/teens...knees all f**** up
I was at Busta's 1st big show with the Leaders of the New School at the Apollo theater. They were the opening act. I was in high school. I'm 50 years old now. The headliner was Run DMC. The crowd was not going crazy for Run DMC. All the other acts had hot songs on the radio at the time. The rest of the line up was Brand Nubian, Kool Moe Dee, KRS1 (hopped on stage and did a few verses), & Shaba Ranks. If it can happen to Run DMC it can happen to Busta. Run DMC didn't complain the crowd wasn't jumping up and down. They were professional.
Man we aint playing none of that down talking us in Louisiana he should have watched his mouth which obviously he didnt learn to do so he got the reaction he got and nobody really was in his set
@@patrickfalls6819 he took a shot at Black Americans we Black Americans we ain't playing that disrespect down here maybe other areas or states will but we not
I don't want to be disrespectful, because I have been fortunate to be around plenty of "on-code" Caribbeans and have come across very few Tethers, where I'm from and in my life in general....but when we joked about my folks being from the south and them being from the Caribbean and what have you it would just be that growing up....a few would feel away at the moment, but tuff.....you shouldn't have laughed when it was my/our tern to get the joked....and for the ones who ever tried to talk fly on some "I'm better than you", then the questions would be asked, why are you here....why not be better where you came from if "your flag" and your people are so "great"....and that's where the Humbling began with the banana boat jokes, before LeBron and them.....and for anyone else that want to feel away and be disrespectful like Busta(who's whole ideology in 5% came from FBA and everything else, the Irony..)..if you're all that, then why did you have to Flee from your 3rd world country if you think you're better.....everything you got here is because of Us....EVERYTHING.....If you're better, show anywhere in History where you've done for Us or anyone else, hell yourselves.....Simple questions.......and then typically that's where the emotions willl come in and that's exactly where it will stay......
I don't think buster knows the definition of the word CULTURE. If he knew he would know FBA is the culture of the world. Arts, sciences, math, inventions etc. come on man
I'm from New Orleans, let me tell you how this works. Essence was originally the bud weiser superfest catered to Frankie Beverly and Maze R&B. Also, while in the Superdome at Essence, there are several superlounges going on throughout the dome while main acts are going on. This is normal for Essence. Busta is just not use to it. Essence, unfortunately, is not catered to Hip-Hop. New Orleans loves Busta Rhymes down here. Please, let's get the narrative right. His rant was clipped up, and distributed in a way to make him look a way in thw media, and he didn't know how to read the room. Essence does have a demo that it started with years ago, but all demos are there. Timing is everything but Essence is not a monolith. He should come back next year. We love you Buss!
@kimanikeith4693 OK, not your era. You are one of many, not all! Anita Baker fakes New Orleans out time and again. We don't kill her for it down here. We let her get away with it. Again, we are not a monolith. You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I. Don't shoot the messenger, blame Cash Money. Birdman invited him. 🤷🏽♂️
💪🏿DA-GAWD‼️ At the essence festival here in NEW ORLEANS, they're 15 other stages and shows all around the Superdome premises... Inside and outside a lot of activities...... EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE VISITORS AS WELL THAT COMES INTO THE CITY FOR THAT EVENT IT IS MOSTLY NEW ORLEANS IN THERE AND THAT'S HOW WE MOVE WE DON'T KEEP STILL WHAT'S POPPING IS POPPING YOU KNOW..... This is way down south no disrespect to any one of you GODZ I'M THE GOD OF NEW ORLEANS HISTORY AND HIP HOP AND Bounce MUSIC 54 YEARS OLD & AND WE LOVE STYLES P AN BUSTA RHYMES WE ARE NOT THAT POLITICAL LIKE THAT IN NEW ORLEANS WE MOVE ON OUR OWN FREQUENCIES..... We're not getting into nobody else business but the HOT BOYS‼️ Mr. Uptown1️⃣7️⃣th. ward has spoken
LJ talk about if the 5 percent nation accepts gay people, because there's talk that Buster is known to get with banti boys and they say he's been doing that for a long time, but you ain't heard it from me 🤣🤣🤣
Why should Busta apologize if that's how he really feels? He not only said what he said, but Busta actually took his time to break down and explain the nuances of why he believes what he believes? It's time for Busta to delineate from us. Do you. The jig is up. The cos play is up.
Exactly. He had no business being in our face, if that’s how he felt. He just sees us as a paycheck. I’m glad they paid him dust. He should’ve been at a Latino or Caribbean festival. That’s who he’s down for.
Everything Lamar said about Busta is spot on. However, we know damn well that Busta won't say ANYTHING about the alphabet community bc he's a part of it 😂
The fact is that Busta is an old washed up rapper that don’t nobody wants to hear. It’s all over now take it like a man. Dude been trash never liked him.
Low turnout could have simply been a scheduling conflict. He also could have expressed his feelings differently. Disrespectful w all the cursing at an audience that's primarily Black and Female. Who raised you??? As an MC it shouldn't be that difficult.
Nah. They Louisana was outside. He had to cancel his tour and jump on Missy’s before that. He lost a lot of his fan base. It was more people at booths than sitting in the arena.
Busta never said that. This dude is pushing a narrative that's given an indus...plant activity. He spoke of indus...plants the other day. In his case it takes one to know one.
Busta definitely said Jamaicans created hip-hop. He said black Americans don't have culture. I seen the video where he said it. It's no love for him, and I was one of his biggest fans
@@illone10 He said the Caribbean participated in creating the Hip Hop culture. He is not the only one with said point of view. He said America...and we know exactly what group of people he was referring to in that statement, and it's certainly wasn't blk people.
I was at Essence and it was not due to Busta and I wish he knew. A little before the event start time the rain from the hurricane started and a flood alert was in place. It had traffic backed up for an hour or more. So many of us could not get in there. We would have love to have seen Busta but shit we couldn't get in there.
I have no f’n clue or idea why because at the end of the day, they all wind up bringing their snobby asses to live right along side American blacks anyway…stay your asses home!
During wutang And Nas tour couple years back, Busta was on the tour, this was The height of " no culture in America"..I DEFINITELY bounced after Nas n Wu were done performing....
Peep game Anita Baker crazy self, Charlie Wilson any classic sanger, or true classic performer, any genre, still do they thang, til the audience sings it for them. Hiphop aged, but never grew, was hard headed, and is now mad at the audience, literally yelling at them. 😂 I love the 90s, and 2ks, tho, always. Bustah deserve all the flowers he gets, dopest of the era. But yeah, these 2010+ rap artist better go buy some food franchises. The game is a wrap. Let this clip serve as notice. Plus folks are older, they knees hurt, can't bop like dey used to.
😂😂😂go tell the Jamaicans and latinos to support you because black Americans are done with busta rhymes ,he's canceled, black Americans are canceling anybody who disrespects us period,
