cryforhellAy I’ll humor u a bit gang cuz I think you’re being sincere
I see both sides but ultimately I agree with dude about the NBA being choosy on what they’re willing to endorse or admonish because at the end of the day the “black murder music” suppliers are both the victims and the perpetrators
Most of them root their music in their own personal trauma and unfortunately rely on an industry that not only exploits that trauma but also provides an escape from marginality for its sufferers. If you don’t rap about debauchery your chances of “getting in” are infinitesimally lower which creates an inescapable cycle
The problem lies in billion-dollar corporations like the NBA prioritizing spinning that type of stuff rather than any other type of black art that’s out there and readily available. If we steer attention and funding away from murder music than the artists will have no choice but to follow
Just my two cents 🤷🏾♂️
Man they fr made an example of that nigga for posting a link. Nike lost they best hoop shoes too smh

He need to get tf up off that team
FREE 💜Jun 10, 2025cryforhellHip-hop isn’t just murder music tho
When primarily that subgenre is getting majority of the push a negative feedback loop will only encourage others to do the same. The only reason why it’s seemingly slowing down these days is bc it’s not as profitable as it was before and not for any benevolent reason
The NBA can’t act as a moral arbiter if they are gonna be cherry picking self-expression whenever it’s convenient for them. Deadass I think they only condemned Kyrie because he was a low-hanging fruit that was already super harmful to its brand and they couldn’t have him pissing off shareholders with zero repercussions anymore. Niggas omitted him from a mostly objective T-75 list because of that s***
I really don't think you know enough about the conversation that was had to add to it rn ngl because he called it murder music not me I didn't even wanna bring up rap music so if you wanna defend it talk to Valentine he was the one attacking it as a genre.
I also pretty much made this point in another post

Valentinelost his $11M annual contract with Nike and made him check out of the Nets with the trade request cause they didn’t back him too cause of the reactions
Responding to him while not even addressing the fact YOU called it murder music after claiming you were going to bed

Kyrie post-hoops whistle blowing campaign will feed generations
Nigga bout to be erased from the history books on some Leon Trotsky s***
- FREE 💜Jun 10, 2025
The crazy part is @Valentine is lying about the Nike contract because Kyrie and Nike had made it clear they were done with each other that year before that.
Kyrie made a very public post about not consigning the company and it's design ld anymore.
Like bro just adding s*** to the story

You know what’s crazy, and I know this will sound naive bc I don’t know him, but Kyrie always struck me as one of the most sincere pure hoopers by a mile. He has some of the best fan appreciation by any superstar. He’s super in love with the skill and craft of basketball. And I think he is a curious guy…I wouldn’t say he’s like super knowledgeable of all things but I think his heart is in the right place and consistent with what he advocates for. He’s very into Native American heritage and it translates into a lot of the stances he will take publicly.
Side note, I find it rich that Joe Tsai can brow beat him over a link while he’s actively FUNDING and PROFITING off of Uighur genocide in China.

There’s a reason why he’s one of the most beloved and respected players amongst the association and it’s not complicated
But sure if u let some armchair psychologist at home tell it he’s a sociopathic narcissist that rips every locker room in half and hosts underground black Israelite meetings during halftime

Last paragraph, that issue is not as black and white as it seems brodie. When ppl mention the genocide they leave out a looooooot of details.

You a good dude but you did blatantly lie/rewrite a lot of s*** about what was going on during that kyrie-asco in that conversation bro.
(was talking to a woman at that time that literally compared him to Malcolm x during that s***. Big red flag lol) Also I’m looking for the “murder music” the NBA promotes when most songs they preview or put in their background dont be the drill songs lmao

You framed Nike got rid of him because of that when they was already was gonna part ways months before the incident.
You also dismissed free’s legitimate response to your whole argument by just saying “but the nba promotes black murder music” (which is a pretty loaded statement. As a big bigx fan i don’t think you would call that “the biggest” song black murder music dawg)
