In New York, we accept Ricans, Dominicans, and Cubans as part of the Black diaspora. Spanish is a language, and Latino is a culture. This doesn’t change one’s race.

@@dnyce8224 most dont and mark white on most forms. I mean even in the land they come from the demographics say they’re “white”….that is NOT our mentality…although I know interaction with some of the “brothas” up north has created a different type understanding. That understanding needs to emanate from the lands they come from..not New York.
I'm 46. I have never been to Philadelphia. If you never mentioned it, I would never have a clue as to knowing Puerto Ricans inhabit the area. I'm black & hispanic.
Same way up here in Boston as far as the connection with Latinos, we all came up with brothers from PR, DR and from all over Central & South America. They were deep in the culture with us.
Being a New Yorker and living in Baltimore was crazy work in the ‘90s and ‘00s. Baltimore hated us during that time. Like Pro said they looked at us like these dudes bubbling(hustling) out here on our blocks, smashing out their shortys. Things was crazy. I put in my work and gained respect from them dudes out there in Bmore…. I lost allot friends in Bmore too but the love is love💯💯🫡
BMore is crazy. I drove past when I had to go to my sister's graduation years ago. I never wanted to be around it. Always seen the hood in Jersey. And visiting NYC too. Sorry about your homies. We don't love each other as Black folks but want everyone to respect us. It's pathetic
Most people are ignorant to the fact that Africans (Afro-Latinos) were involved in the same slave trade/experience as Afro-Americans. John Rolfe and other colonizers used the word n*gger to describe Africans in several territories of land. Even though many Puerto Ricans are also mixed with Spanish and Indian (Native Taino), they were subjected to the same slave conditions as pure Africans

@@Me-zm9wt I don't disagree that "Ether" is not among Nas' most lyrically skillful tracks. But it wasn't just a bunch of gay jokes either...according to Carmen Bryan's interview on VladTV, Jay was insecure, had low self-esteem, and was hypersensitive - so she gave Nas this intel to help write "Ether". So when Nas said girls "called you ugly", that was true, "y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches", that was true, etc. Lol I can uncover the truth behind more of those lyrics if you want.
Showing off a hammer is cool. Idk what that means to nas tho. Nicca from vernon in qb. His first tek? Ill will was a real person give me a break. Nas still gets paid off reasonable doubt to this day😂
Nah latinos and blacks are super close up north. I never once felt they were being disrespectful. Theyre gods too. If people down south dont like it, cool. You dont have to. Thats how we are up north. We fight the same struggle in the tri state. Growing up i knew they had a different culture but never felt we were that different. They spoke like me, dressed like me and thought like me.
@@handsomedubbledee NJ was more open to rap from other regions in general but that’s not what Large Pro is implying when he compared them. I’m also from Jersey btw.
I love how you touched on NYC Puerto Ricans and how our black and Spanish cultures are mixed here. We literally family out here and people not from here just don’t get it. We all struggled and are in the trenches together here. So the N word comes natural. There’s no malice in it, it’s the same as saying bro to each other. There are even a lot of black people in NYC that know how to speak Spanish because of our cultures mixing. Granted now that I’m older I learned not all black people are comfortable with me saying it, so I try to be mindful of that. It’s not up to me to decide how a black person feels about it.
In D.C. it's different because the majority of the Spanish speaking people are from El Salvador, Mexico, and Central America. They are extremely racist and they don't identify as black or anything. Except for the new younger generation that are 2nd and 3rd generation. They run with them and those in their age group. We only a had a handful of Caribbean Spanish speaking people and they didn't really identify with their Spanish heritage because they didn't want to be stigmatized as such, (Migos)

How does that confirm that Nas never seen a tech ? Cuz Jay had one ? Lmao yall grown men are weird bro they ain’t stop making guns after Jay got one and even before that brother yall is strange

@@kayodeodusanya5751All of Jay's stories have been tested and proven as factual, even by enemies, including some of his craziest stories, like shootouts, attempted assassinations, and just being a real boss in the streets with his own workers. Nas is just a rapper, his street stories are from the news. He's a liar too, and a hater. He lied about not knowing Jay in '96, when in fact they had agreed to do a song. Ether is lies and insults. He put hands on Kellies when he found out, Jay had smashed before him, "even your new bxtch knows whassup"
NY is no different from no other city. We did not have Puerto Ricans but we had Vietnamese that grew up deep with us. They stayed in the same neighborhood and all. SMH y’all need to sit down
You can't add Haitians to that lineup. We're more closely related to Africa. The first nation to get free from slavery and helped the Dominicans gain independence. And now they hate us!
@@Mr50403 Some folks are brainwashed but it is what it is. Its the same thing with black on black violence between bloods and crips. Some of us are brainwashed to hate each other
Turning the party out was a term back then it was pretty much saying ending a party or a club night in violence usually a shooting. Every rapper from the late 80s early 90s has a story like this some have multiple. They need to get Lord Finesse on here to tell his he had the craziest one by far. Uzi's let off and everything...
Puerto ricans and Dominicans have heavy afro ancestry and we all grow up in the same neighborhoods. This is what hes saying, people outside the northeast dont understand
I get your point, But Puerto Rico is in North America. It was a place where enslaved Africans were dropped off. In Fact more Enslaved Africans were off in South America in the country of Brazil than anywhere else in the Americas. We are one with all people from those countries. Africans were spread out all over N and S America. We just speak different languages BUT we still are Black.
Puerto Ricans have native blood, mixed together with Spanish and African blood. It ain't just "Spanish and African", there were already native people there before chattel slavery. That's where the name "Boricua" comes from.

Love musical intros and outros. Once an artist, ALWAYS an artist (@HeART)
Oh damn I remember hearing Hippocritters on radio in London. Makes even more sense now I remember the track and its obvious XP produced.
Your intros are holding this channel back.
He didn't confirm shit... he said jay pulled out a gun in front of everybody. That's it. He never said it was Nas' first time seeing a tec.. stop wit the click bait shit.
Pointing out y’all different because you let another group call you all a slur is wild business. You got it b
I’m from Jersey… Spanish comes from Spain… Puerto Rico has Spanish speaking people of Black, White and Native heritage. Being Puerto Rican does not mean you are Black.
Thank you
Then what are you?...
Puerto Ricans are a mix of all 3. Thats what makes them Puerto Rican.
@jayyxcruz wrong......Puerto Rican means "Port of Riches" it's an island, not a race. Mixed Indio or mixed negra and indio are what you are.
How does that confirm that Nas never seen a tech ? Cuz Jay had one ? Lmao yall grown men are weird bro they ain’t stop making guns after Jay got one and even before that brother yall is strange
Takeover killed all of qb…damn.
Jay-Z really is chump tho
According to Toure, Nas told him he had two tecs before that incident. But the people who invited Nas on the tour him he couldn’t bring guns.
He scribbled it on his notepad and created that story
Jungle even said the bullet in their bedroom wall was from accidentally shooting a tec off
This Jay stans are hilarious...believing Jay was the first person to show Nas a tech. Large Professor said, "he showed all of us." He didn't call Nas to a corner and show him a tech...and even if he showed Nas a tech, it doesn't mean that's the first Tech Nas was seeing in his whole life. Math is a hovenger, so his title is understandable
Lol, it's just a rap diss, not necessarily factual lol
@@kayodeodusanya5751All of Jay's stories have been tested and proven as factual, even by enemies, including some of his craziest stories, like shootouts, attempted assassinations, and just being a real boss in the streets with his own workers.
Nas is just a rapper, his street stories are from the news. He's a liar too, and a hater. He lied about not knowing Jay in '96, when in fact they had agreed to do a song. Ether is lies and insults. He put hands on Kellies when he found out, Jay had smashed before him, "even your new bxtch knows whassup"
NY is no different from no other city. We did not have Puerto Ricans but we had Vietnamese that grew up deep with us. They stayed in the same neighborhood and all. SMH y’all need to sit down
Maybe now but not back in the day
It was DC. I was at that show.
Y’all had buckshot and rock ness monsta and smif n wessun
Yall need to get OGC or starang wondah on behalf of ogc with rock ness again
It’s merged in Jersey math . In the hoods my guy
Show bro some RESPECT !
That's how it was when I went to Philly
Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Haitians are all our cousins.
No tf they not
You can't add Haitians to that lineup. We're more closely related to Africa. The first nation to get free from slavery and helped the Dominicans gain independence. And now they hate us!
They don't like each other. I was in the navy with all them cats. You think they like us? I no black. I'm Dominican.
@@Mr50403 Some folks are brainwashed but it is what it is. Its the same thing with black on black violence between bloods and crips. Some of us are brainwashed to hate each other
Yo , Math come to Chicago it’s mad Ricans and mad Rican food lol . Some similarities to NY
SC in the building
Boston shares the same historical cultural merge and language understanding.
Crazy I’m from Delaware and we get pretty much everything from NY .. it’s crazy that Philly is closer but it’s more NY …
Philly is not like NY lol. Exactly what somebody from Delaware would say 😂
@@majestymxnt7384 my moms from Philly . I was saying you would think since Philly is closer we you use more of Philly style.. nice try though
@@shawnharden4742 Oh well if that's what you MEANT to say then my bad but thats not what your comment says lol.
What part of Delaware are you from because all of South jersey and Wilmington get there style from philly and is nothing like NYC
Delaware is like Maryland lol
Turning the party out was a term back then it was pretty much saying ending a party or a club night in violence usually a shooting. Every rapper from the late 80s early 90s has a story like this some have multiple. They need to get Lord Finesse on here to tell his he had the craziest one by far. Uzi's let off and everything...
every city thinks there's no city like there theirs. Yet there.'s a ghetto in every state & they all relate thru the same songs.
Stash as thick as Lionel Richie's. Hard bar
I don’t get it. Pls explain?
"Made the money shit the end all be all" 😢
... Mecca talk so pro Black but givin Latins a pass just cuz its NEW YORK FOH
Latinos are a huge part of New York culture buddy. Nothing wrong with admitting that.
Puerto ricans and Dominicans have heavy afro ancestry and we all grow up in the same neighborhoods. This is what hes saying, people outside the northeast dont understand
@@oredi2159stop
Puerto Ricans are made of African/Spanish decent. They are of our bloodline. Slave ships didn't just go to North America....
I get your point, But Puerto Rico is in North America. It was a place where enslaved Africans were dropped off. In Fact more Enslaved Africans were off in South America in the country of Brazil than anywhere else in the Americas.
We are one with all people from those countries. Africans were spread out all over N and S America. We just speak different languages BUT we still are Black.
@BKthoroughbred That was my point my guy. Read what I said again...glad you extended my point. 💯💪🏾👌🏾☝🏾
@@BKthoroughbredtell ine of them they are black and i bet you they'll argue u down about how they aren't
Puerto Ricans have native blood, mixed together with Spanish and African blood.
It ain't just "Spanish and African", there were already native people there before chattel slavery. That's where the name "Boricua" comes from.
@@_unclecharles_ It don’t matter what they tell you, Their phenotype says it all: AFRICAN
Newark we grew up with the Spanish and yes we recognized them as our niggaz
Philly has a large PR population
YOU 4GOT ABOUT CHICAGO FAMILIA. THE CITY SEGREGATES US BUT THE CULTURE IS INTEGRATED 🎉.
