"Common's a Racist beeyatch," Says UK Emcee

In reaction to Common's recent comments disapproving of interracial dating, several heated UK rappers recorded a response track, where among other terms called the Chicago rapper "a racist beeyatch."

Common, an emcee known for his conscious image, recently revealed to Touch Magazine (The UK's leading urban music publication) that he objected to mixed race relations. He specifically said he opposed black men with dreadlocks dating white women because these men would be "going against what the dreadlocks purpose was."

After reading the interview rappers Rising Son, Yungun, and Doc Brown decided to address the comments rhyming over the beat for Common's "The Corner." All of the emcees come from mixed races and felt personally attacked.

On the track, titled "Dear Common (The Corner Dub)," Rising calls the Chicago emcee "a racist beeyatch." Yungun adds fuel to the fire spitting "I liked your words but it's hard to believe in 'em now/ and I'm a friendly type of guy I want peace to abound/ problem is though, if I ever see you around/ I'ma have to stop Rising from beating you down/ because he wants to slay ya/ show ya how you turn a concious rapper/ into a fully unconscious rapper." He continues saying. "I quote'sellout like a dred and a white girl,' shocking/ I thought that who you date is a personal option/ and who made you think you're the one that could stop them/ You said they sold out, well I guess you got something in common.

Furthermore Rising had this to say about the windy city representative, "he needs to be careful because no matter what his opinions are, he's still got a lot of white fans. He comes over here and does gigs here; most of his fan base here is white. I mean, who was that 'Electric Circus' album aimed at? That wasn't aimed at no one in no ghetto, that wasn't aimed at no black people, that wasn't a black album. If he keeps wanting to use the term sell out, what was that album all about?"

On HipHopGame.com, where the song is posted in its entirety, Hip-Hop heads have posted mixed reviews. One comment reads, "you may think he's being a hypocrite but I say he's being truthful and I can tell for a lot of people the truth hurts. "

Jay-Z Stands By His Man: "I'm backing Kanye 100%"

A few days after Kanye West trashed President George W. Bush's relief efforts to Hurricane Katrina, Jay-Z declared that he stands behind the producer's inflammatory comments.

"I'm backing Kanye 100%," Jay-Z told Billboard regarding West's comments that "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a live Hurricane Katrina relief telethon this past Friday.

"This is America. You should be able to say what you want to say. We have freedom of speech," Jay-Z told Billboard.

Hov also said he thinks the government has offered a tardy response to offer help in the devastated southern states of Louisiana and Mississippi.

"It's really numbing. You can't believe it's happening in America. You wonder, what's going on? Why were people so slow to react? I don't understand it."

Jay-Z said he plans to chat with Diddy about launching a foundation that would benefit African Americans in times of crisis.

"Just in case anything like this happens in the future, we can do what the elder Bush and [former President Bill] Clinton are doing for our people specifically," Hov revealed in reference to the potential fund.

No need to post twice in a row for different articles, just edit the previous one.

Meh, if you would have said that to everyone that has double posted, you'd have nearly a million posts. Just an observation.

The group Spooks consists of Mr. Booka-T, Hypno, Joe Davis, and Ming-Xia. If you want some good songs to get a taste of this group, try out "Karma Hotel, "Faster Than You Know" and "Things I've Seen". Let me know what you guys think.

Actually hardly anyone is interested in the underground shit apart from me & Skins...

And even though I'm interested in UG hip hop, I still like mainstream shit too. That mixtape was hot, although You Know What It Is Vol.3 was better imo

Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:14 pm

underground is an acquired taste

Which artists you into ?

Tue Sep 13, 2005 9:17 pm

personally im not into UG that much...it's too raw for my tastes....i prefer more commercial shit. I guess it depends on what you call UG too.

Skip, would these be considered UG

Z-Ro, Trae, Bun B?

X-ED is still around, but I'm not putting much time into it anymore nothings really popping off :(

If you want a good active site where you'll see some NLSC members (Matt, Colin, Goat, Skins...) and Phyl from ALO go to www.hiphopcartel.net

And yeah that was Game's last mixtape (before Ghost Unit)

Tue Sep 13, 2005 10:42 pm

Oh okay. Coz whenever I try to go to X-ED it says it cant find it or whatever :|

I'll definitely try hiphopcartel, thanks for the heads up (Y)

Tue Sep 13, 2005 10:53 pm
