the guy analyzing the dmx scene where he made the crowd say n***a


was over thinking it i think.

He’s probably trying to frame something as racist just to support their notion that the wild Limp Bizkit fans are Trump supporters.

I don't think so.

That shit made me mad uncomfortable, watching it.

I'm black, BTW, and it's always been one of the worst things about Hip-Hop to me, where guys are just imploring non-black people to use that word over & over again, not understanding how painful that shit is for a lot of people like my grandparents.

@President4Life

I think the original intent was for black people to use it themselves to remove any power from the word thus rendering it unusable as an insult. That said, it's still a horrible word and I can't imagine hearing it day after day if it offends you. I'm on your side. It's such a triggering word just don't use it or if you do expect different people to feel different things about it. Unfortunately now it's so engrained in hip hop culture I don't think it's going away.

Oh, I agree with you.

That war is lost

I look at it as audience participation which DMX wanted with that song.

reply

Exactly, don’t want em’ saying it then don’t incite the whole crowd to sing along to the lyrics. DMX was obviously ok with it, but now you have some revisionist retard claiming to be an expert on race relations.

That clown had no place in this documentary.

Maybe DMX should have left it off the set list. What were all those white boys supposed to say in lieu of the N bomb?

“MY ……….”?

the song performance is the only reason X is in the Doc
