Sitting down with VladTV for a new interview, Buckshot responded indirectly to recent comments made by Brand Nubian emcee Lord Jamar regarding the place of race in Hip Hop.
Interrupting a question about Lord Jamar’s comments that Hip Hop is an originally Black art form, Buckshot rejected the notion. “How?” he said. “How? How when we had Ad-Rock, a part of the Beastie Boys, in the movie Krush Groove, a part of the beginning of Hip Hop, who introduced LL Cool J to Russell Simmons? How? How was it an originally a Black thing? Stop it.” Buckshot’s comments reference the 1985 film whose plot is derived from the story of Def Jam’s beginnings and features actor Blair Underwood as label co-founder Russell Simmons.
“I love you Black people,” Buckshot said into the camera. “I love you, but let me tell you something. My name is Hanif Alwin al-Sadiq, that’s my Muslim name, right—yes I speak Arabic,” he said before seemingly repeating himself in the language. “No question…very good. If you wanna challenge me, I’m the worst motherfucker in your life, period. Ever.”
Buckshot continued his answer with criticism for those that focus on the differences among races. “My point is, once you get past the level of the quotations and the rotations and hearing it, you guide each thing with your heart,” the Black Moon emcee said. “Your heart is the truth. The day you could bust a nigga chest open and pull out his heart and I could see a Black heart and a White heart, and know how those shits operate, you good. ‘Cause until then all I see is two fucking organs that pump blood. Aiight? For you niggas to sit there and keep bringing out the difference between each race because of what they do and what they leave behind, all you being is just a go-getter baby. You could sit there and tell me, ‘Yeah, but the White man was the one who did this, and the White man did that.’ The White man is gonna say, ‘The Black man did this and the Black man did that.’ You know what I’m saying? We can keep going on and on and on. We could talk about the Arabs who sold us out to slavery in the Mediterranean with—we could do all that.
“All you gonna get back down to is human,” he said before breaking down the meaning of the word. “‘Hu,’ light, ‘man,’ animal, physical being. We are light within physical being. That’s why we are human. All of us, no matter who you are. And that’s the reason why we have the abilities to do the same thing with similar aspects from different directions. Just from a different cultural aspect because, yes, our skin color may have an effect on our anatomy which has an effect on our rhythm. As a Black man, my rhythm and my timing might be in tune to this, and as a White man your skin color and your anatomy might have you rhythmically [attuned] to that. Together we unify that unification, that’s why the Earth spins around 360 degrees. So all that other shit sounds nice and sounds so great for people who failed in life, fucked up in life, mad at the world, can’t get a fucking spot, don’t know why they fucked up, gone by the what their parents said, loved the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ and the handclaps, give anything for attention. All that shit is them dudes.”
In 2013, Lord Jamar told VladTV that White artists are guests in Hip Hop while criticizing Macklemore’s “Same Love.” “Okay, White rappers, you’re coming to this almost as a guest,” Lord Jamar said. “Okay, matter of fact you are guests in the house of Hip Hop. Just because you have a hit record doesn’t give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion. White rappers, those of y’all who really studied the culture, that truly love Hip Hop and all that, keep it real with yourself, you know this is a Black man’s thing. We started this. This is our shit. We’ve allowed you, those of you who’ve proved your skill and all that, we’ve allowed you to come in and kick your shit, make yourself known. You know what I mean? And if you have enough respect for the culture we fuck with you. But don’t push it too far.”

this could get interesting.
Jamar ain`t even a rapper no more. he just makes vlogs responding to hip-hop news and niggas calling him out for being old and out of touch!
Black Moon is my shit. He got an interest perspective that I think a lot of people will disagree with, even some white rappers.
Respect to buckshot, if you a rapper and your lyrics are ass, you’re ass.. You can be black, white, or yellow. Can’t use febreeze , and cover shit forever.
Salute. And co-signed.
i lost all my respect for this douche. was he there in the 70s. grandmaster caz in the documentary MAMBO TO HIP HOP a documentary that talks about the role of hispanics (ricans) in hip hop said that rap and break dance was done by the blacks. puerto ricans had a role in the history of rap but it was secondary too. the original members of rock steady crew were black ask crazy legs. even when the interviewed the puerto rican DJ in the rap group cold crush brothers, one of the first hispanic dudes in the game, he said it was kind of odd for him to be a hip hop DJ at the time. this was in the 70s. u have to mention the role of puerto ricans before you even get to the white people. sorry for fast typing
a lot of puerto ricans have black ancestry too
man he had 5 minutes to explain, cut some slack
Agree with most of these just some things he said seem a bit weird or maybe just the way he said it…. Whatever way more logic than Lamar tho…
First of all its Jamar..Secondly how is this fool saying white people created Hip-Hop based on a movie scene make more sense. Kill yaself
krush groove was in 1985. sit ur bitch ass down. no one cares about your arabic language. arab is not in west africa fool. Hip hop started in the 70s. Kool Moe dee has tapes from the 70s moron.
Vlad needs to get a bunch of these guys like Buckshot, Jamar, etc.. together and do a live debate. it would be super dope to listen to but also kind of crazy cause Lord Jamar would probably start calling everyone who disagrees with him faggots and threaten to beat them up…
Nah Jamar is enlightened better than Buckshot and knows his history. Jamar is from an earlier era than Buckshot.
yet he’s still a 45 year old man who calls people who dont agree with him faggots and threatens to “see them”, don’t act like he don’t i been watching all his Vlad interviews and it’s true.
i’m not even saying Jamar is wrong but he automatically calls everyone a faggot and wants to beat them up on some schoolboy shit, he needs to grow up.
Buck seem’s more intelligent and enlightened than Lord Jamar has ever come across in any of his interviews and I’m not even saying I agree with him.
nah dude crazy he say hollow beat lux. FOH. i
what nonsence all races are the same because we function the same. Has he seen the evil done to the darker nations of the earth and how their lives are grossly undervalued?
they both got smarts, believe that
Buck need to go back and study after saying that adrock sh*t
Who daqfuq either of dese niggaz. Irrellevant ass niggaz.
Just cuz you born in 2006 lil fuck nigga. recognize the legends bitch ass
Paul C put us on. peace
Who put Paul C on fuckboy….I see you getting slick. Unless Paul C created Hip-Hop, then your point is moot Uncle Tom, keep it moving
You see Rakim talking about Paul C. Nobody put Paul C on. He put himself on.
real talk
I agree with Buck to a degree, i agree rap is a black thing but he’s right as far as the people who embrace that mentality are usually bums
Yes its 2014 Buckshot you dont have to be afraid to say Rap is a Black thang because it is R&B singers like the late great Icon Isaac Hayes use to do it Gil Scott Herron did it long before it got to the level it is at now, These Uncle Tom negros will dispute the accomplishment of Black people in hope the Devil will give them a few crumbs, Rock & Roll was Black first ask Little Richard ,And just because you claim a religion dont make you no better Jews finance slave ships and supported slavery for a long time they control hollywood and the music industry the same pimp that put artist out on stage inwhich is the corner and once they get thru pimping the artist they find the next one now they got black male rappers wearing skrits finger nail polish Lord Jamar has been on point now they will find some black clown to say its not a black or white thang. when thats all they know is to be a racist its sick to see the world is still like it was many years ago ,Chuck D said it best IN FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET THEY FEAR STRONG BLACK MEN !
” now they got black male rappers wearing skrits finger nail polish”
Them nigga’s is gay, don’t try to blame the white man for that shit. I never seen no white dudes wearing skirts that weren’t trannys.
them white boys tried hard to rock skirts when “troy” came out
but we’ll forget about kilts, which is what Kanye wore, and plenty Scots wear, just so you can be right
lol
Africans wear skirts too if you wanna bring up kilts
Snoop Dogg, Asap Rocky, Young Thug all black males painting they nails, I dont see any white rappers doing it though.
Lil richard wasnt even all black he is Native American and if you did research u would kno that black men make up the highest percentage of homosexuals in the world so please dont try to blame hip hop for that shit there are tribes in the native lands of africa that have sexual relations with both male and female and it has been that way for 100s of years i guest thats hip hops fault as well smfh
I guess suckshot shorty sucking up to whites just because feminem put him on a track on mmlp2. Did not not know suck shot was a uncle tom but judging from his liricks in black moon about killing niggas i should have known
suckshot, LMAO, thats cute.
what a geek you are.
nah he didn’t even get featured on the song which wasn’t in mmpl2
he not gonna suck up to white people for being sampled on a bonus track
lol, a super nerd at that
wtf are you talking about?
First of All, you Can determine the race a motha fucka by the organs, bones etc. thats Basic(forensics). Hip-Hop was created by the Original Man bottom line.. Ad Rock found LL’s demo?? wtf that has to do with anything.. Come on Buckshot.. Why Does He Love The Devil? Hip-Hop is indeed for all Human Families on the Planet Earth, It Started With The Blackman simple as That!!!
You can’t tell a black skeleton from an asian skeleton you stupid fucking bitch
Stay In School Fuck Boy!
^ start school
You my friend are an idiot if our organs were different they wouldnt be compatible for transplant thousands of Americans have hearts,lungs,kidneys,livers etc of the opposite race in them keeping them alive when will people see what buck is saying that under the skin we are all the same we need to start uplifting each other instead of letting the elite cloud our minds and make us hate each other in my city Philadelphia there are peoples of every race broke and hurting in the ghetto living the same struggle and helping each other get by with out any type of racist look on life open your eyes we will never truly be a great nation until we unite our country is one of the only places where racist exist in the way it does and its ridiculous because there are more interracial relationships then relationships of the same race we are interbreeding at such a fast rate that they say 100 years from now race will cease to exist and its already proven that little to none of us are pure breed anyway our ancestors were raped and traded and the breeding process deluted all pure bloodlines get your head out of your asses
Buckshot just doesn’t want to alienate his white fans. He’s a businessman who anticipates having to rely on tour money from Europe for the next years of his life and pretty much sees the writing on the wall. Businessmen, he is, along with his man Dru Ha. That whole Hot 97 beef vs Ebro was more about finding an inroad to promote his show and get back into relevance than really reppin Hip-Hop ideals..Oh well, to each his own
you sir, are a class A idiot. Did you not read what buckshot’s point is? how does it not make sense? please enlighten me as to how you think he is wrong? people who are only speaking for business dont talk with the passion that buckshot did, if he were really doing it for the reason you say then he would have said something along the lines of “i think jamars comment were inappropriate” or someshit. It’s obvious he is speaking straight from the heart.
How does someone who’s been running one of the most successful indie labels for the past 20 years in desperate need of money?
Perhaps he just thinks blaming other races for your problems is fucking stupid.
I think he saying how he really feels. If he wanted to be politically correct and not offend the white fans he could just not answer the question at all.
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS GUCCI GOT BODIES
GUCCI MANE is the realest rapper and heres why.
1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.
This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.
GUCCI MANE KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!
Hey dummy rap is not all about killing and rap plays shit…. being “real” is not being a killer being “real” is about being a good father and a man in fact it’s the exact opposite of being a killer
LOL at the jew DJ Vlad holding black rappers up against each other, this fool will do a Lord Jamar interview then ask every nigga in the industry to do a interview rebutting what Lord Jamar said, playing the good ol divide n conquer game
yup because the rap industry doesnt do just that….ever heard ec vs wc; north vs south; hell the street wars mixtapes….yup blame the jew AND NO NOT A JEW NOR A WHITE BOY
wasnt no ec v wc beef, jus kids who needed a reason, heck even pac said wasnt bout coasts
BREAKING NEWS: HipHopDX desperate for hits, reposting the same Lord Jamar story every week!
Does Lord Jamar like white rappers? How about gays? What does Yelawolf think of what Lord Jamar thinks? What does Buckshot think? Now, what does Lord Jamar think, one month later? THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW!
All hail HHDX – the TMZ of rap sites.
its all dj vlad’s fault for startin this shit…
We have a tip for you: Whenever you see an image of Lord Jamar, and you KNOW he’s gonna start going on a fucking racist rant, DON’T….FUCKING….CLICK…..ON…..IT!
it sprang from the black ghettos of America, simple as that.
ya think there were any white, latino, asian, etc.. kids around, who knows. real ? is when was the official birth of hiphop, what was the 1st official act, who really knows, i thought it started with kool herc?
if it wasnt for the white man the black ghetto’s wouldnt exist thought LOL so the white man created hiphop
Buckshot is on point though. Lord Jamar literally got into Twitter beef with Marlon Wayans over a nigga wearing a skirt that lasted over an hour. With R.A. playing cheerleader the whole time no less.
hip hop didn’t start in 1984 with the release of Licensed to Ill, or 1985 with the release of beat street, this is a dumb fuvker!…75 to 83 knone white was rapping!
Blonide Rapture 1981
Vlad you need to cool out and stop putting a battery in niggas backs. He stay tryna start shit.. but Enta Da Stage is my shit tho!! I fucks with Black Moon heavy word up son
lol Buckshot crazy, I ain’t forget his interviews about the corporate labels and why he stayed indie, which mirror the very same thing Jamar was saying
Buckshot you my man but Hip Hop did not start in 85, it started with NIGGAS IN 73 IN THE BRONX. SO YES IT DID START WITH BLACK PEOPLE WHETHER CLOWNS WANNA ADMIT IT OR NOT. WHITE PEOPLE JUST PUT MONEY INTO IT.
SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER CRAZY CRACKHEAD…
BUT YEAH… BLACK MOON > BRAND NUBIAN …JUST TO BE CLEAR.
well, this just goes to show you not every black veteran rapper in hip hop agrees with lord jamar. ppl who support jamar and jamar himself act like they speak for the entire black community and shit. stop it! *in buckshot’s voice*
Lord Jamar DEFINITELY speaks for the entire black-community (at least the part of it that has brains & common-sense). Anyone that disputes his views or his status in hip-hop is a fool + has NO clue what they’re talking about or the culture they enjoy so much! In a sense, Jamar is probably the only one that has a right to speak on these things since he played a major role in making it possible for artists to get deals & make money while having a decent career, doing what they love! I’m so tired of these sellout dudes trying to convince you & the masses that it’s OK to chase after what isn’t important. #WakeUp
^ I thought y’all weren’t down with the gay agenda, get his nuts out your mouth
So Jamar DEFINITELY speaks for the entire black community except for when he spews nonsesne. Public enemy #1 for the black community, y’all want it both ways. Always looking for credit when nobody gives a fuck…a black man invented the toaster, guess what? I don’t give a fuck, i’m just happy to have a toaster. I don’t give a fuck who invented Hiphop either, I’m just glad I have Hiphop. Buckshot is pretty much the equivilent to Jamar as far as his era in hiphop and the thought process…but since Jamar supports your racist agenda, he’s right and Buck is wrong. Pathetic…do y’all know that black people actually believe they’re incapable of being racist, it’s fuckin mind boggling…your ancestors are dissappointed, they had actual hurdles to climb to make your life better and y’all bitch about nonsense
Buckshot is so desperate for that corporate money to finance his little sneaker deal that he’ll say anything to make them feel important, just like Donnell Rawlings & the rest of the fools who support Jewish-elite-corporate ideals that control the world’s profits & convince the rest of the 99% that they need to be like them to be considered important and/or happy!!
Dude has be co-running one of the most successful indie labels for nearly 20 years now. He’s not hurting for money.
” So all that other shit sounds nice and sounds so great for people who failed in life, fucked up in life, mad at the world, cant get a fucking spot, dont know why they fucked up, gone by the what their parents said, loved the oohs and aahs and the handclaps, give anything for attention. All that shit is them dudes.” SBMobile, so which are you?

All that shit is them dudes.
which one are you???
Buck stop playing yourself with this nonsense, you are going to fuck up the legacy of Black Moon. You always have the most respect for dope artists until they say some dumb shit like this, keep that shit to yourself homie. Word!
How is he going to ruin Black Moon’s legacy by saying people need to stop being racist?
Fuckin ignorant shit right there. Jamar can sit back every week and talk shit and push hate and then Buckshot comes along talking about unification and you call it nonsense? Jamar doesn’t do shit any more and Buckshot is still working so it makes sense Jamar is just a sour old hater and Buckshot is progressive with his thinking
Hip Hop originally was a black thing created by blacks. That is the nonsense I’m referencing.
Jamar has enough balls to say the shit that motherfuckers only think of and discuss in private. About .1 % of you cats will even fathom this comment. Just keep thinking about it. A free man will never be afraid to speak truth to power.
ignorant niggas like you is what holds your race back
At least Buckshot was the center of Black Moon as an emcee while Lord Jamar wasn’t even a key member of Brand Nubian.
^ the thoughts of a peon
^ the thoughts of a peon’s peon
my wisdom pees on your peons peon
Real fucking talk!
no its not….Buck need to re read black popular culture
Buckshot has always been about connecting people. During the height of the East Coast / West Coast rivalry, he reached out to Pac and Death Row to make an album together (which was recorded, but due to label politics, never released).
What most of you dummies aren’t realizing, is the shit Jamar’s been saying does nothing but separate people. Buck is pointing out how incredible silly racism is, and still most of you don’t get it.
Separate people, are fucking kidding me! I don’t care if you don’t like Jamar or not, he spoke the truth about the origins of Hip Hop being Black. Your ass will never be viewed as an equal in this country and it doesn’t matter how much money you have, ask Oprah or any wealthy black person for that matter. If you are Black in this country your ass is viewed as a fucking criminal first and foremost, before you are recognized as human being. So you GTFOH!!
Yeah, I’m sure Oprah has a lot of problems.
You just reinstated my point and Buckshot’s. He’s saying that we should all look at each other as equals. Goes for white, black, brown, yellow, purple, green, whatever. We have the same inner make up….heart, lungs, liver, blood, bones, etc. Until everyone starts looking at their fellow man / woman as a human first, shit will never change.
Dude just like everyone else, I wish for and want equally for all people, especially Black people, but more so for my kids, who are Black like me. In reality, I don’t know where you have been, but that shit isn’t happening in this country, because we as Black people have let motherfuckers devalue our culture and our past history.
it doesnt mean Lord Jamar is wrong. Jamar is actually on point, and your comment is about race. Jamar is pointing to history similar to rock&roll, jazz, and other genres jacked from the black communities. Even Elvis, jacked someone else’s style. Get hipped…
Both cats are speaking truth and from the heart…. If you look at music it doesn’t have a color to it, it’s about feelings & emotions… That is where Buck is coming from.. Lord Jamar is like the white man had done everything in his power to divide the black man. Take away achievements and make us look inferior and lazy…. At this day and age we should be more on the the buckshot tip but America is still racist to the core. We only make up 13% but are accused of bringing the whole country down… I suggest cats watch the movie 12 yrs a slave to see how this country treated blacks…They you will understand why we need Lord Jamar types around…..
the major flaw in this convo is Jamar knows white people, is cool with them, done business with them
like Rick Rubin, one of his homies
oh, ids this when the whiteboy wants to say Rick ain’t white?
And with that, what makes you think Rick doesn’t agree with Jamar? Because he worked with Em?
I don’t think y’all realize how deeply programmed you really are
but I see it
Big up for Buckshot, wise words right there. Wish more people could see the world the way he sees it instead of occupying themselves with petty bullshit.
I see what Buck was coming from, but he forgot hip-hip didn’t start with Russell Simmons in 84. It started in 78 with the Great Kool Herc, Grandmaster Caz
yes….but originally started with the Last Poets
^ who cares, it’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at
^^spoken like a true visitor not wanting the ticket inspector to verify your ticket…..
^^^ tell that to rakim
“^^spoken like a true visitor not wanting the ticket inspector to verify your ticket…..”
sounds like stop and frisk
Buckshot is my dude and I respect the legacy he laid down for hip-hop but that fact is that Hip-hop is an original Black Art form just like Jazz, Blues etc.
That’s how I feel man, so I have no idea what Buck is talking about. The shit doesn’t even make sense talking about Def Jam and Beastie Boys. I have to Chris Carter that shit….Come on maaaan!
This guy is savagely ignorant.
Fuck race, Rap is a human thing. You wouldn’t say being president is a white thing since the USA got a black president (and black presidents in other countries), so why is rap only a black thing since we got rappers of all races?
Who said it’s only a black thing dude? Hip Hop was created by Blacks like Blues and Jazz, as someone has already alluded to.
blues and jazz were created on electric guitars that a white man created
those genres go back way before electricity
but couldnt play funky with those guitars until black people showed them how its really done….also….where do you think those white folks got their ideas from?? thats right….african slaves bringing over ideas to the western hemisphere…..stoopid
No, you simp. Those instruments were not created by “a white man”.
this is why they have such bad culture shocks when they get older to the point of suicide
the teachings of their “supremacy” unfold as fallacies, they don’t see it living in all-white towns/cities, being around them only, aka sheltered, it hits them hard when they are in society, that’s why they’re so dysfunctional in it
being all weird, click up into cults, never had a relationship until/IF, almost 30, need “how to” books for everything although they’re so smart because they went to college
they really don’t know, if you really think about it
im not satisfied with where i am in the world so i blame the white guys for my failures in life and for holding me back
oblivious white guy parroting the same talk we’ve not only seen for years, but history tells another story
like school
the test scores are some of the worst in the world, but to the whites, it’s the “poor minorities” who hold us back when the underlying truth says that they not only overpopulate us “minorities”, and want to reference the dropout rates (which in that scenario means YOU are the ones they are using as stats), that it’s THEM scoring these horrible ratings
look at their elders in office, who are OBLIVIOUS to what the American wants, how they disrespect the executive office of potus (in one convo he’s a dictator, then next convo he’s weak? LMMFBAO, ya look STUPID) & congress (why does he need to apologize when it was HIS mic that was cutoff? WE ALL saw the tape!) just because of skin color and obstruct the very same progress they claim they are for
see, we actually study and get grades because we know you will use ANYTHING against us so we prepare since adolescents, y’all think you’re OK “just because”, you can name drop for acceptance and y’all STILL do this to today, that’s YOUR standing in society, not off of YOUR own merits
talk to me when you get a better schooling boy, lol ya sound like your hater grandparents
so if you really are smart, you can look at their comments and see the same mentality from the Klan 60s, and if you really are watching, they’re saying the same things they were saying in “Lincoln”. it’s their descendants, many of them have never changed, they were just being quiet
as for music….Ted Nugent’s music isn’t “colorblind”.
I am even willing to say y’all parents won’t keep it realer than what I just said. ask them.
you know what…I respect the fact that Buck is touching on humanity and how black and white thinking is cancerous to intelligence and knowledge….BUT…..Buck need to do some homework in this subject matter. Lord Jamar is correct and right in what he says, although he hasn’t proved it with examples. I will tell you why I agree with Lord Jamar, but can still respect Buck’s almost political comments. Rap is a black popular creation started by…………The Last Poets. So you see….Lord Jamar is right. End of discussion. Come on Buck….even you should know that. peace…
peace
If you want real hip hop. Vanilla Ice, Justin Beiber, Ricky Rude, Marky Mark!! These are the real Kings of Hip Hop. And for the record, Hip Hop didn’t start in the Bronx. It start in Conway Texas and the Bronx took it further. Do your research!
stfu…just trying to rile people up, because of whatever stupid azz prejudices you believe in…..you do the research on how much black popular culture has been raped and maimed to look like something so people like, make dum ignorant comments to support white lies that take credit away from the originators from black communities that are always artistically creating.
its not a black thing. it was an urban thing.
do you work at JC Pennys?
second comment….not one of you suckas mentioned the Last Poets…..shows how much YOU DONT KNOW and are brand new to the game, trying to take credit away from the black communities. Lord Jamar is right….while Buck choses to take the high road. Dont forget that…..THE LAST POETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you gotta have some insight of your audience before you speak to them and most of these clowns are teenage whiteboys who ain’t into the music at all, just commenting on the internet
and beyond that, I had a convo in a bar months ago with “fans” of Nas, NWA, Snoop (older whites) who think Blondie’s “Rapture” is the first rap record
those are actions and thoughts of outsiders, and they’re mad at Jamar because he’s right
to cap it off, what Buckshot said about AdRock goes against Buckshot’s whole mantra of staying indie, keeping the music STREET, aka within it’s origins
hell, the man even changed his religion, lol, but I ain’t forget Buckshot had them bad seizures a while back either
thanks guys….good replies…
“most of these clowns are teenage whiteboys who ain’t into the music at all, just commenting on the internet”
It’s hilarious that you really think this just because people don’t agree with Lord Jamar or enjoy the music of Rick Ross.
This is 99% white here.
hiphopdx staff is prolly all white too….dropping stupid articles like this void of the trud black popular cultural history…LORD JAMAR is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! stoopid azzez
“So all that other shit sounds nice and sounds so great for people who failed in life, fucked up in life, mad at the world, cant get a fucking spot, dont know why they fucked up, gone by the what their parents said, loved the oohs and aahs and the handclaps, give anything for attention. All that shit is them dudes.
which one are you??
“It’s hilarious that you really think this just because people don’t agree with Lord Jamar or enjoy the music of Rick Ross.”
^ you don’t have to agree to bear witness to the truth young mind
a mere study will tell you it’s majority whites, young ones too, that live in the Dakotas, Idaho, Montana, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands
this is what I’m saying, too quick to run your mouth, when the facts are public info, attainable by that search bar on YOUR computer
them teachers failed YOU, not me, my vision ain’t blurry
I’m the one actually building, giving insight, another way to think about it, pushing some truth others don’t/won’t wanna talk about
what about you?
Last Poets….u suckas…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GaWks49wLY
un educated fools….get hip….Last Poets, Made in AmeriKKKa….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdFXaDj0dYk
LMAO Here comes the distractions, well they have have actually already been here in these comments. White boys just saying any ole fucking thing lol. Most of the comments were decent and people were expressing their opinion until crazy ass people like TheReal started showing up in here.
Last Poets links courtesy of KingO….in case u didnt know…
An American negro with an Arabic name hes already confused adopting the name of his former Slavemaster but he has gained many white fans with his comments so I can’t knock his hustle, his boss is a white guy named Dru Ha so he knows who will feed him or starve him.
Dru Ha isn’t his boss. They co-own the label. Their partners.
American negro? you’re whole aura says 60sody wo
but ya knew it all, except that he really is a business owner and not a slave, lol
the racist troll
And this is why Black people are stuck on stupid and really truely dont own anything, Yo buckshot tell that to the other race, People that dont even want you to move near too where the live, better yet tell that to the juges or too the countless niggaz that got kill just because people didnt see their heart instead they saw them being black
props to buckshot, but lets look at the history of rhyming and poetry. you mothafuckaz think it started in the 70’s? LOL we got some pioneers who elevated it to another level but rhyming in itself has been around for a loooooooong time.
Buck is also able to see both sides on this issue, cause he started Duck Down day one with Dru,
much respect to both Buck & Dru; hate and destroy each other or build together
Lord Jamar is hip hop royalty I must remind Buckshot
show some F**king respect!!
Buckshot, your new name is Sh*t hawk’ your credibility
has been exposed as fraudulent
Lord Jamar is only talking bullshit, he aint dropping records, he aint doing shit but criticizing , yeah he was D O P E with Brand Nubian, but that dude is not doing shit, Buckshot has respect everywhere he goes, fuck yo stupid ass, dont know shit about hip hop looking ass nigga, Lord Jamar close minded twin nigga.
to the first replier…..hold up…dissing Lord Jamar when he is telling the truth….wft r u talking about…..Lord Jamar is correct….
“So all that other shit sounds nice and sounds so great for people who failed in life, fucked up in life, mad at the world, cant get a fucking spot, dont know why they fucked up, gone by the what their parents said, loved the oohs and aahs and the handclaps, give anything for attention. All that shit is them dudes.
which one are you?
lol @ telling buckshot “show some respect, Jamar is a legend”…umm you do realise that Black Moon are legendary in their own right equally as Brand Nubian are? smh
Black Moon is better than Brand Nubian.
Griot- dare to explore the term.
LOL at the jew DJ Vlad holding black rappers up against each other, this fool will do a Lord Jamar interview then ask every nigga in the industry to do a interview rebutting what Lord Jamar said, playing the good ol divide n conquer game. And these rappers are actually falling for it SMH pathetic.
real talk though this DJ VLAD guy is a roach
truu, dj vlad = culture vulture
no ones forcing these niggas to sit on his couch every week and let him pimp them out all over the internet
dj vlad has curly sideburns
Never known Buckshot as an intellectual, what is he talking about?
BDI sharp, don’t get it twisted.
I see it as the talk/gossip can pit niggas against each other when they actually are on the same side.
Jamar is 1000% right. Buckshot has molded his whole career off the same elements that Jamar spoke on. Absolute reality.
Now we deal with the fuckboys who have no clue and want to choose the side that benefits them, not actual fact. And the jewel is the community knew this was gonna happen back then
why we said KEEP IT REAL, which meant TELL THEM THE TRUTH, DON’T LIE
and an example is Slick Rick went to jail for busting his gun, Onyx didn’t, and their material is polar opposites
Yo I love the Beasties,and tons of other white rappers, producers, and all that but the beginings are the beginings! I love the whole Legendary BOOT CAMP and I respect Buck but Hip Hop didn’t start with Krush Groove homie! It was early, but we talking KOOL HERC, the BRONX, the Cold Crush and Treacherous Three battles and etc..etc….all these and more monumental happenings occurred before 85′ my man. Now if you wanna say Blonde did hiphop a solid okay cool! But that was before 85′ also.
dude is coming like the prodigal son!

You people are stupid as fuck. The last poets didn’t have shit to do with the creation of Hip Hop culture they had a minor influence on some rappers, a very fucking minor amount. They are no more responsible for the creation of Hip Hop or pioneers of Hip Hop culture than James Brown is or Bob Dylan. No disrespect to the Last Poets intended but to claim they created Hip Hop is straight nonsense.
Buckshot is 100% right and anyone disputing that is a narrow minded ignorant fool. There were countless people of multiple races integral in the creation of Hip Hop culture. Beastie Boys, Rick Rubin etc no Rick Rubin, no Def Jam.
You wanna go tell Rick Rubin he’s a guest in Hip Hop culture, really, REALLY???
Lord Jamar needs to know his place, Brand Nubian are not legends, he is not a legend. They were never successful or culturally impactful. They barely had a fan base at their peak so his ego is not even remotely warranted.
Also Lord Jamar is NOT HIP HOP. He doesn’t understand the culture. Hip Hop has and always will be about unification, about peacefully bridging gaps not about ignorance and furthering segregation with backwards, narrow minded archaic views like his and if most rappers weren’t cowards and afraid of being labelled “uncle toms” or “sellouts” they’d step up just like Buckshot and state outright how ignorant Lord Jamars views really are…
yo im fine with white rappers like Beastie Boys, Mac Miller, and Lil Wyte. but get these fruity techno dubstep listening girly kids outta here and stop letting them dictate hip hop fam
Barney Rubble AkA Buckshot is in no way or form a legend, more like a one-hit wonder who is still trying to sell his weak shit to White kids. White folks had little to nothing to do with the origin of Hip Hop,they were standing their asses around in the park (i.e. when they were brave enough to come in the hood.) watching the brothers rap, just like the Puerto Ricans who couldn’t rap so they started Break DancingA.ditionally, this was long after the basics of the art had been created in the boroughs.Hip Hop was strictly a hood thing with Hoods competing against one another, until the ass=holecops come and break it up, they couldn’t stand to see Black kids having a good time and no one beefing.
