    A movie with black women as the stars who are scholars, and not getting beaten or raped as slaves and concubines????? I will be pre-ordering tickets 💯💯 And I will be purchasing twice- two sets.

      Raye Will I'm really excited. For this movie.. Growing up I was very interested. In space and NASA, but we never hear stories about the beginnings of it from black society

    • @rayewill2280
      @rayewill2280 7 років тому +10

      Tre Royal I agree, this is going to be amazing. I have completely refused to see ANY slave movies that have come out in the past 5-7 years. I am familiar enough with slavery, and I find it sickening how white producers continue to make money off of our pain over and over again. Slavery is not our only story. We have contributed so much more to this society, and there's so many other stories that need to be told. I am so glad that Hidden Figures will FINALLY give us a different narrative.

    • @darrenmyles9597
      @darrenmyles9597 7 років тому +1

      TOJO J yea. But what we need is our own system. like what was created by the black people in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Durham, NC. Some Black Wall Street shit. But frankly its up to milenials and so on to make this a reality cause the generations before are way to zombified and depend on submiting to standards of America AKA Standards of average white people. (if anyone is reading and feels somewhat offended please, by all means respond this shit needs to be talked about)

      lol no they arent and they are two of my favourite producers. but you must not know music outside of pop or hip hop to say that shit

  • @broadwayblack5782
    @broadwayblack5782 7 років тому +141

    I may be wrong but sometime Rosenberg tries to hard to offset his whiteness which is starting to get obvious. You can be white and not be racist but he goes hard to try to not look racist (if that makes sense)

    • @LoopGawdTV
      @LoopGawdTV 7 років тому +6

      Lower Manhattan Resident because basically we have made anyone who's not black...into a racist. So he constantly over does it with the liberal narrative to try to prove he's not racist which doesn't works because all white people are racist

    • @broadwayblack5782
      @broadwayblack5782 7 років тому +8

      4Play I have family members just like Rosenberg so I know those type of people everyone isn't racist. I just think he over does it at times

    • @vinny5638
      @vinny5638 7 років тому +16

      Yeah, he does do this. But what are you going to say man? You've got so many people pushing the narrative that white skin = racism and privilege the normal white dude feels like he's got to overcompensate just to be seen as normal.
      But, because he is in predominantly black radio his overcompensation is on overdrive so its hella easy to notice. Most people don't go as hard as rosenberg.

    • @broadwayblack5782

  • @danielvaldes8534

    Pharrel and Kanye most influential artists in the last 2 decades

    • @jimrook8713
      @jimrook8713 7 років тому

      Daniel Valdes Yeah Cudi for sure. 808s was Kanye seeing Cudi and being inspired by his music. So they worked together and made the most influential album ever

    • @danielvaldes8534
      @danielvaldes8534 7 років тому +1

      Jim Rook yea i agree but he aint more influential than ye and some ppl just discredit all the influence ye had just because cudi wrote 4 songs on that album. and if we want to be fair, t pain influenced that album as much or more than cudi

    • @jimrook8713
      @jimrook8713 7 років тому +4

      Daniel Valdes Cudi inspired the lyrics and introspection. T Pain inspired the sound. So yeah I'd say they are about equal

    • @jimrook8713
      @jimrook8713 7 років тому +2

      pg13 Go to the track listing for 808s and Heartbreak. Find Heartless, go to the writers of the track. There, you will see that Scott Mescudi co wrote that song. Btw im not saying Cudi was completely responsible for 808s, Im just saying the content would have been very different especially lyrically.

    • @DJStKittz
      @DJStKittz 7 років тому

      Well you must have shitty speakers or bad ears. Aside from that on a technical side of things in order for FM radio stations to broadcast audio has to be massively compressed. Id suggest watching videos about Compression and FM transmission before you make a stupid comment..The compression is what makes in fluctuate. Given also their interviews are based around ppl yelling and joking around, their compressors are set to ratios for those type of volume levels (id assume). Which on live radio they are not gonna go messing around to adjust and change shit for a 40min interview that is more calm and not loud in volume... You can actually see the meters in the mixing desk are set at 0 decibal and Pharrels voice rarely hits 0db..So go tell Pharrell to talk louder and dont listen to compressed broadcasted audio...

    Pharrell looks like he hadn't slept in days in this interview. Either he's tired or the aging process finally kicked in.
