FBF Classics: When A West Coast Rap King Took EVERYBODY To School Before Kendrick Lamar

I love Kendrick Lamar. That brother is doing his thing. For real and well deserved. (You know there is a “but,” coming right?) But, I cannot help be remember that Kendrick is a byproduct of a rich legacy in Hip-Hop. Since, he’s from the West Coast, I’m not thinking about about KRS-One or even Outkast, I’m thinking about the homie Ras Kass. For those that don’t know, Ras Kass is one of the most profound rappers ever to grace the culture of Hip-Hop. He’s from Carson, CA – the same as TDE’s Ab Soul (are things coming together yet?). So, back in the mid-90’s Ras Kass recorded a punch to the gut called “Nature of the Threat,” which is about the equivalent of a PHD is alternative studies.

The album was called Soul on Ice (and ode to former Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver), a Hip-Hop classic with diverse topic matter. However, “Nature of the Threat” continues to receive burn for the weighty topic it covers. The song was criticized for being heavily critical of White people and these days the Gay Community certainly object to the material. However, the song gives so much fuel for thought that is has been debated, refuted, back up, argued, dispelled, and confirmed.

The main point of the song is that…history has been erased and re-written to fit a nice Euro-centric point of view. Take this jagged pill to the neck (no water!) and comment below.

LYRICS:

Let freedom ring with a buckshot, but not just yet
First we need to truly understand the nature of the threat
And a pale man walks in the threshold of darkness
Roughly 20,000 years ago the first humans evolved
with the phenotypical trait, genetic recessive
Blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin
Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man, Africans
So the mutants traveled North of the equator
Called Europeans later, the first race haters
So here’s the Devil’s alpha to the beta
Cause history’s best qualified to teach one
Quoting German philosopher Schopenhauer
“Every white man is a faded or a bleached one”
Migration created further mutation
Genetic drifts, evolution through recombination
Adaptation to the climate
As the Caucus Mountain man reverted to that of a primate
Savage Neanderthals, until the late Paleolithic age
That’s when the Black Grimaldi man came
With the symbol of the dragon, fire and art
Check cave paintings in France and Spain to the Venus of Willendorf
Around 2000 B.C. Southern Russians migrate in small units
Those who travel West populated Europe
Those who went East settled in Iran, known as Aryans
1500 B.C. some crossed the Khyber Pass into India and
created Hinduism, the first caste system, the origins of racism
A white dot on the forehead meant elite
The black dot – defeat; untrustable, untouchables
They wrote the holy Vedas in Sanskrit
That’s the language that created Greek, German, Latin and English
Now the Minoans around 2000 B.C.
Starts on the island of Crete, in the Agean Sea
The Greek culture begins Western Civilization
But “Western Civilization” means “White Domination”
Myceneans learned from Kemet, called Egypt in Greek
It existed since at least 3000 B.C.
Creatin geometry and astronomy
This knowledge influenced Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates
Cause Imhotep, the real real father of medicine
Was worshiped in Greece and Rome in the form of a Black African
The word Africa comes from the Greek “Aphrike”
meaning “without cold”; the word philosophy means “love of knowledge”
Stole from first man, Greek power expands
The first Greek fraternities band
The word gymnasium is Greek for “naked”
This was the place where adolescent boys were educated, and molested
This was accepted because Greek culture was homosexual
For example, Sappho trained girls on the island of L#####
Hence, the word lesbian (Ay let these dumb m############ know)
December 25th, the birth of Saturn
A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern
December 25, now thought the birth of Christ
Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk,
f##### each other then beat their wife
Fact is, it was still practiced, til they called it Christmas
So put a gerbil on your Christmas list
The Hellenistic Era, Alexander the Great
Conquers all the way to India leavin four successor states
By the Fifth century B.C., R.O.M.E.
succeeds to be the conqueror of Egypt and Greece
But had the threat of the Black Phoenicians in Sicily
The Punic Wars began 264 B.C.
The Black general Hannibal and Carthaginian Peace
In 146 B.C. Carthage fell after a six-month siege
Rome sold every citizen to slavery
The first genocide of history
And more bisexuality in sight; Julius Caesar was known as
“every woman’s husband and every man’s wife” (B#####!)
Spartacus Revolt, a slave rebellion that lost
Where 6,000 slaves was nailed on a cross
Cross? Aw, s###! Jesus Christ! Time for some-act-right
Christians get your facts right
Cause Christ was not his name
That’s Greek for “One who is anointed”
Yahshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this?
So who do you praise, do you know his name?
Or do you do this in vain?
Accepting the religion they gave slaves to behave
Peep the description of historian Josephus
“Short, dark, with an underdeveloped beard was Jesus”
He had the Romans fearing revolution
The solution was to take him to court and falsely accuse him
After being murdered by Pilate how can it be
these same white Romans established Christianity
Constantine would later see the cross in a dream
In his vision, it read “En Hawk Signo Wonka”:
“In this sign we conquer” – Manifest Destiny
In 325 he convened the Nicean Creed
And separated god into three
Decided Jesus was born on December 25th
and raised then on the third day is a myth
Plus to deceive us
Commissioned Michelangelo to paint white pictures of Jesus
He used his aunt, uncle, and nephew
Subconsciously that affects you
It makes you put white people closer to God
(Yo, ‘The Man’ got game like a m###########!)
True indeed, f### it, Jihad
In the eight century Muslims conquered
Spain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 years
They never mention this in history class
cause o’fays are threatened when you get the real lesson
Moors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European Christians
Meaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ
On November 25th, 1491
Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada
King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory
And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be
A day of “Thanksgiving” for all European Christians

.. Now listen, when you celebrate “Thanksgiving”
What you are actually celebratin
is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome
Who later, in league with Queen Isabella
sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain
to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity
These Moors, these black men and women
were from Baghdad, Turkey
And today, you eat the turkey, for your “Thanksgiving” day
as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys
Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers
Now fight the power, you b####-ass n#####!

Now around this time, Whites started callings us Negroes
That’s Spanish for black object meaning we’re not really people
but property, and the triangle trade begins – they seize us
Queen Elizabeth sends the first slaves on a ship named Jesus
Stealin land from the indigenous natives
Gave them alcohol to keep the Red Man intoxicated
Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals
But up until 1848 there’s documented cases
of whites bein’ the savage cannibals, eatin Indians
In 1992, it’s Jeffery Dahmer
They slaughtered a whole race with guns
Drugs, priests and nuns
1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare
As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst
passed out clothing and blankets to the Indian community
Infested with small pox, knowin’ they had no immunity
Today it’s AIDS, you best believe it’s man made
Cause ain’t a damn thing changed.. let me explain
Now since people of color are genetically dominant
and Caucasoids are genetically recessive
and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then
they simply must, take precautions
That’s why they’re worried about their future now
’cause by 2050, almost all the Earth’s population
will be brown, then black, so understandin’ that, whites counterreact
(I’m sayin.. man.. them fools
ain’t nothin but a teaspoon of milk in the world color majority)
So they created a system
to force blacks into an unnatural position
That re-enforces the position of natural inferiority
In addition, created guns and developed the ethnocentric view
that God justifies every f##### thing they do
Condition people to perceive whites’ culture as civilized
and every other culture considered primitive – not true!
Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites
in every areas of human relation
Entertainment, education, labor, politics
Law, religion, sex, war and economics
See blacks were 3/5ths of a man with tax purposes intended
You think you’re Afro-American?
You’re a 14th amendment and a good n####
Jews don’t salute the f##### s#######
but n##### pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya
They never teach about the break of islands like Jamaica
But before slaves came here whites would take a
pregnant women, hang her from a tree by her toes
Slice her stomach with a knife
and let the unborn baby fall to the flo’
And stop an unborn child in front of all the slaves
to inbreed fear, so they’d be scared and behave
and not rebel more
Understand all whites must be perceived as potential predators
I paraphrase historian Ishakamusa Barashango
“Understand that regardless of the lofty ideas engraved on paper
in such documents as the Constitution or Declaration
the basic nature.. of the European American white man
remains virtually unchanged”.. so check
This is the nature of the threat

50 Cent’s Baby Mama Puts Him On Blast For Reaching Out To His Oldest Son

Photo via 50 Cent’s Instagram

It looks like 50 Cent tried to creep back into his oldest son’s life. Given their history and 50 Cent’s sarcastic and trolling nature, we aren’t sure if 50 reaching out to his son on social media was even genuine. 50 wrote his son Marquise on Instagram saying,

“You will be 20 in a few months. I’m happy to see you in good spirits. You be strong out there on your own boy. You are a grown man now.”

Marquise replied saying,

“@50cent didn’t think you knew how old I was u missed a few birthdays. I’m happy to see you have kind words to say to me this time.”

Just when we thought reconciliation was possible, 50’s baby mama jumped in a bit less friendly.

“You’re downfall is already here @50cent. Miserable, unstable, bum a** n*gga. You’re so miserable! Go pick on them boys who put that hot led up in your a**! Oh! I forgot you like to pick on women and children. Them boys in Brooklyn did you dirty! Go beat up your other baby mother, oh you did that already and you’re on 3 years probation. Go make sure son’s motor skills are correct. Can he talk? Get out of here.”

50 Cent and his first son’s relationship is such a tragedy. We hope it gets better one day.

Yo Gotti Is Still Trying To Get Angela Simmons On His Team

Last year Yo Gotti revealed that he had a crush on Angela Simmons. He even made Angela his #WCW and rapped about her in his song “Down In The DM.” Since then the two have been spotted at the same events and even have been featured as hosts on some of the same events. We’ve been wondering if the two would ever truly hook up. Yo Gotti sent Angela flowers previously for a new business venture she was involved in, and now he has taken his love for Angela to TV when he stopped by The Real talk show. Yo Gotti looked into the camera to say this to Angela,

“Yo yo yo, what’s popping Angela this yo boy Yo Gotti. I feel like you a BB you a boss & a beauty so I need you on the team.”

Yo Gotti explains that he has his eye on Angela because he’s always liked a good girl since he comes from the streets and has been in enough trouble himself. Do you think Yo Gotti will win her over? Do you see what Gotti sees in Angela?

Young Thug Taunts Plies: You Broke Bum, I Got More Hits Than You!

The latest episode of Rappers & Social Media Standoffs stars none other than Young Thug and Plies!

Young Thug’s rise to Hip-Hop relevance has made him a target. Everything from the eccentric artist’s fashion attire to his questionable content has been scrutinized. In the past, Thugger has exchanged contentious words with different artists like Game, Lil Wayne — and now — Plies.

Recently, Complex inquired into the fleeting feud between the “Shawty” and the “Best Friend” rappers. Following Plies’ flippant response of, “I don’t think nothing about that. You trying to get poppin’. I don’t f*ck with lower tier artists,” Thugger has prepared for wifi war.

Yesterday (Feb. 25), the Atlanta general launched a Twitter-fingers assault. He raged, “@plies uma millionaire p**** boy And I bought my whole family CARS/HOUSES HAVE U LIL N****…@plies go check the numbers p****, I got way more HITS then u could ever have….And u twice my age. Bag yo old ass up.”

Check out all the scathing statments that were captured in screenshots by DJ Akademiks.

Is Karen Civil Being Cyber Bullied?

Photo via Tumblr

Karen Civil was recently put on blast by Cam’ron and Meek Mill associate @Deendcr. Cam responded to Karen Civil’s comments on Taxstone’ Tax Season podcast where Civil told Taxstone that Jay Z and Cam had issues over a parking space outside of the Def Jam offices. Cam’ron says that this is completely false. He didn’t take the parking lot story too well and blasted Karen for allegedly stealing $60K from his cousin @darealdukedagod. Cam says that Karen should’ve paid the money back by now, and he asked her to stop lying and stealing. It appears that Karen feels that she has been a victim of cyber bullying as she posted this post (below) on her Instagram page with the caption,

“Keeping with today’s spirit of uplifting black women, click the ? in bio to check out an exclusive interview with @essencemag on cyber bullying, and staying positive.”

It looks like Karen Civil is staying positive, meaning you probably won’t be getting the response you hoped for.

Young Thug Suggests That Plies Is Washed-Up

Photo via Plies’ Instagram

Your favorite rapper (LOL) turned Instagram comedian, Plies, recently sat down for an interview with Complex. One of the interviewers wasted no time asking about the alleged beef between Young Thug and Plies. When she asked Plies how he felt about Young Thug saying he wanted to slap him, Plies replied saying,

“I don’t think nothing about that. You trying to get poppin’ and sh*t like. I don’t f*ck with lower tier artists.

The interviewer said,

“So you put Thug on a lower tier.”

“He sold what sh*t 10-14K records the first week. I don’t know, you tell me what tier he is,” said Plies.

The interviewer says she feels that Thug was mad because Plies reposted a video that went viral of Thug’s daughter cussing. Plies said a million people posted it. Back then he also said he didn’t even know it was Thugger’s daughter in the video. The main message Plies wanted to get across to Young Thug is,

“Don’t you go back and forth with a m-f*cker who ain’t on your level.”

Young Thug didn’t take this well and has since responded by saying he has more hits than Plies and that Plies needs a tour. It seems that Young Thug suggested that Plies is broke also by telling him that he’s (Thug) a millionaire and has bought cars and homes for his family. Plies also took time out again to discuss Young Thug as told Taxstone,

“Anytime a n*gga sell 10K, 14k records the first week, you shouldn’t even be talking to me right now.”

Who’s a better artist: Plies or Thug?

EXCLUSIVE: Kxng Crooked Talks Upcoming Hip Hop Competition TV Series ‘One Shot’

(AllHipHop News) Back in 2014, Slaughterhouse rapper Kxng Crooked, radio/TV host Sway Calloway, The Wake Up Show‘s DJ King Tech, and SMH Records CEO Mike Smith announced they were teaming up together to launch the new rap competition television series One Shot. A year and a half later the program appears to be ready to arrive.

[ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Kxng Crooked Talks Collaborating With Statik Selektah, Modern Hip Hop Beef & Not Selling His Soul]

“I’ve just been negotiating with different networks. Now I got a home for it, so it’ll probably be out this summer,” Crooked tells AllHipHop.com. “It’s like an American Idol for strictly Hip Hop. We go out to different cities to find the next Hip Hop star.”

Among the locales that hosted a One Shot audition was the southern Hip Hop hub of Atlanta. According to the Long Beach emcee, Georgia’s capital was a hotbed for performers with bars.

“We did an episode in Atlanta, like 2,500 rappers came out. The line was ridiculous. There were all types of different styles,” states Crooked. “Dudes were spitting some hard sh*t. Females were spitting some dope sh*t.”

While a large section of mainstream rap focuses more on melodies and hooks than content and creativity, Crooked believes the rising voices of the genre are presenting music based on lyrics. One half of the recently formed Statik KXNG duo (with Statik Selektah) is hoping the underground movement brings about a major shift in the direction of modern-day Hip Hop.

“I went to like 5 or 6 different cities filming this show. I was able to see on the ground, in the trenches, how many talented emcees are out there nationwide that would blow your mind,” he adds. “There were real Hip Hop culture representers, real lyricists. It’s that time. We just got to fight that war on every front.”

Kxng Crooked & Statik Selektah’s Statik KXNG album is available now on iTunes.

Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp Praises Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole, Discusses Future’s Drug User Image (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) French Montana may feel a certain way about the success of Kendrick Lamar, but southern rap legend Big Gipp is showing love to the TDE emcee as well as Roc Nation’s J. Cole for promoting a different side of rap music. The Goodie Mob member was a guest on Dash Radio to talk about different topics connected to the culture.

[ALSO READ: Oddisee Talks Producing Unreleased J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar Song (VIDEO)]

“You gotta tip your hat to Kendrick, you gotta tip your hat to J. Cole, for them guys to be able to come out in such an atmosphere of negativity and still be able to push something positive,” said Gipp. “I told my youngings back in the A, ‘Now that Kendrick has won these Grammys, now that Hip Hop has been showcased again on this big stage of the Grammys, now record companies and possibly the corporate world will start putting their money back into Hip Hop and the true story of what it’s supposed to be used for.'”

Gipp added he believes the fact that Kendrick and Cole have been able to sell millions of albums and gain widespread notoriety is an indication other rappers can stop performing as characters and just be themselves. The Mutant Mindframe album creator would also like to see more artists reflect on social and political issues.

After speaking on the widespread drug references in a lot of today’s rap music, Gipp was asked about fellow Dungeon Family representative Future (fka Meathead). The Freebandz leader has built an entire brand and persona around the idea of drinking lean.

“[Future] don’t get as high as he talks. I just want to let y’all know that,” Gipp declared. “I can tell y’all right now. Dude got three, four albums that’s still sitting up ready to go. You can’t do that kind of music when you’re high the way he talks.”

It’s a lot.”

50 did not provide more details about the series, but 50 Cent Presents appears to be following in the tradition of other sketch comedy programs such as Saturday Night Live, In Living Color, and Chappelle’s Show. He later added on Instagram, “I’m only getting better at what I do. Wait till you see my new show on A&E.”

The G-Unit leader’s business ventures encompass music, online media, television production, liquor, and clothing. 50 Cent also acts on Power, and he appeared in the 2015 boxing film Southpaw.

As far as Cudi’s 2015 LP Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven, Andre is in agreeance with his former girlfriend Erykah Badu. Late last year, the soul singer also named the 26-track alternative album as one project she has been listening to a lot.

Music definitely runs in the family. Andre also revealed Seven Benjamin, his son with Badu, has been exploring his father’s art form.

“He can actually rap, but he don’t want people to know that he can rap. But he’s good,” stated Dre about Seven. “I told him to do it and don’t tell people. Just put it out. If people like it, they like it. You can reveal at any time.”

The star of American Crime added, “He might already have songs out that y’all listen to and you don’t even know.”

Woman Crashes Hillary Clinton’s Fundraiser & Demands Apology For Mass Incarceration Of Blacks

Photo: Instagram

As more information surfaces about presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her deservingness of the black vote, the latest to rise is a statement she made in 1996 about jailing blacks in America. A protestor made sure to remind her of this when she stood up at Clinton’s fundraiser in Charleston, South Carolina with the quote printed across a sign: “We have to bring them to heel.” The words were from a speech in which the Democratic hopeful called black criminals “super predators” and urged for their mass incarceration.

After the woman stands up with the sign and demands Clinton, many people who are seemingly from Clinton’s camp try to silence her. She is eventually escorted from the fundraiser as Clinton says she will address it at another time and finally responds with, “Okay, back to the issues.”

TBT – Three 6 Mafia – “Late Night Tip”

Three 6 Mafia

When you think about this Dirty South sub-genre of Hip-Hop you can’t even go very far without speaking about Three 6 Mafia. Early on songs like “Sippin On Some Sizzurp” and “Slob On My Knob” secured Three 6’s place in the hoods forever. While some Hip-Hop purists that harp on boom bap beats and lyrics found this to be a shock to the system at the time, it still resonates today. Three 6 was basically the start of trap rap and they put on for the Memphis hood like never before.

From the start of the song with Lord Infamous’ verse, you know this song gonna have you giving your significant other the side eye. Juicy J, Gangsta Boo, DJ Paul and Koopsta Knicca’s verses add to the track, making this song a Hip-Hop classic. This was the ‘hood’s “Hotline Bling” before it even existed. Check it out below!
