"We have people on the front line'protecting you, protecting Donald Trump,
making money for Haliburton,
but when they come home
they are living out of their cars.
What are they doin'
with all that money?"

I feel like people don't even care about the Iraq War anymore. It's been virtually removed from the news cycle. When was the last time you heard about a bombing?
I actually kinda like Trump. He ain't not punk and doesn't take shit from anyone. And he encourages people to do what they like and be entrepreneurs, not employees. He was against the war pretty early too.
Big J,
How is Donald Trump any different from Fiddy?
Oh. He's white.
LOL. Nah man. But for real. I'm interested in the duplicity. Ooops. I mean the duality.
Can you NOT understand why I like Nas and don't care for 50?
There are some good things about 50, mostly his business sense, but I don't have a gay obsession with the guy.

"Can you NOT understand why I like Nas and don't care for 50?"
No.
And you can't either.
You just say it over and over.
If one were to deconstruct each of their lyrics the way Rap Haters do when they attack an artist, one would find the same guns, drugs, bitches and hos.
Not a dimes bit of difference.
Saying you like Nas while suggesting "50 degrades black people" is a cop out.
And I'm calling you on it Cuz.
"but I don't have a gay obsession with the guy."
Are you sure?
What's more gay than hating a man for NO REASON.
Fiddy rubs you and many corporate blacks the wrong way.
Why?
I suspect it is because Fiddy (and the other successful rappers) seem to have received all of the rewards and accolades of the plantation system without paying the dues (college / law school / medical school / kissing white ass) that establishment blacks suffer through in hopes that they will be rewarded.
If there is any good that can come of this, maybe the Fiddy's and Jay-Z's will kick start the stalled imaginations of black people and we can bring some new approaches to empowerment.
Other than "Dem niggas need ta get a job!".

You are hilarious man. You post pics of this man's butt crack and then jump on me when I say his music is mediocre.
50 can't touch Nas' or Jigga's big toe as a lyricists. Period. That's my OPINION.
I've never advocated that 50 "get a job." Shet, I'm happy for the brotha. If he wants to play sexual brute negro to the white media, be my guest . . .
