Was just thinking about that Bashy track Black Boys and thought to myself...

[Em Dott]

...shouldn't he have been talking about successful black people outside of music as well?A positive track about black boys should not only address the successful black males in music. It should address them in all walks of life.Look at Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, also known as Adebisi and Mr. Eko.I was reading about this guy and was inspired and very impressed. He is fluent in Four languages; Yoruba, Swahili, Italian and obviously English, and can also speak enoguh French to comfortably get by. He has a Masters of Law from Kings College London, and was a solicitor.And look at Jordan Kensington, the guy who founded the Urban Music Awards. Google him if you don't know.As far as I'm concerned, he should talk about successful muscians, but also guys like the aforementioned as they help destroy the perception that if you are a black and successful you are in sports or music.Just my thoughts...You agree?

[Joel C]

he did talk about people outside of musicbut i get what your saying

[kurious]

reality his target audience dont no who they are soley by namean i dont think he had time 2 explain in his likkle 16but yh i hear u

[CRLS AGAIN]

No disrespect but LMFAO@ saying he's fluent in 4 languages and then naming some next f*ckrythose aren't 'languages' you claim to be fluent in in your C.V. famEnglish, Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, and some other ones might get blybut come on

Serious, I must not have been thinking properly. Remind me, who outside of music did he talk about? I hope not just Marcus Garvey or Martin Luther because those are obvious.I swear, I have forgotten most of the song.

LOLYou forgot Italian. You know he was a model in Milan for a while as well before going to LA to pursue acting.Oh yeah, big up Idris Elba AKA the black battyman from The Wire.

[djbmc]

i'm sure he said something about the black dude who won the apprentice but yeah, someone else made this point in the grime room, like the only ppl he's really bigging up r the ones in the entertainment industry.

[CRLS AGAIN]

Alsothe track is called Black 'boys'.He's bigging up his 'colleagues' so to speak.I don't really rememember properly, but I'm sure thats the gist I got from when I heard it all those months ago.Whats the hype about this track now?Has he released it or somethign?

[Agony]

He mentioned Shaun Wallace and Tim Campbell.But I hear what your saying though, artists like him should mention other successful black people outside of music and sports.

[CRLS AGAIN]

That was too easy AfgoonWhy would you even drop it?

[PokerFace]

Surely the tracks about what people can relate to and in any race thats music and sport.

[Guest Dr. Doom]

WHAT ??!! BLACK PEOPLE DO sh*t APART FROM FOOTBALL MUSIC AND SELLLING DRUGS *CONFUSED*

It seems Titan believes that most black boys will have the same reaction. I do not think black boys are stupid, Titan, and I am sure they know they do not have to limit themselves to sports and music without (yet another) song telling them they can.

[pyrouk]

yea i feel u i think he didnt want to sound to preachy, the remix covers the the non music headsP: Do you think enough UK artists and artists in general have enough positive messages in they`re music?B: I think there are definitely some artists that have positive messages, but I think sometimes the way they put it across sounds a little preachy and it doesn`t sound cool. There`s some artists that I listen to them and I think, you sound like the prime minister b! Turn that off no ones trying to hear that! My positive thing is on the level of everyone, whether your an educated guy who earns maybe 150 grand a year or if your a road man and your unemployed but doing your ting. My stuff works on various different levels. I deliver in a way that`s credible and relevant. It`s real from me, obviously some one that is preachy it might be real to them but for me no ones looking for no preacher.http://www.pyroradio.com/index.cfm/act/int...w_details/id/18

in agreement

[Aquaman]

bashy tried sumthin n executed it all wrong

why do you say that?

because the tune is sh*t. frm the chorous to the ppl he mentioned to the god awful beat n corny video

[Numero001]

Good lyrics, actually made man kinda smile at the delivery and what he was saying 'cause thats how I felt about certain tings like Tim Campbell on The Apprentice and So Solid at the BritsOn the downside the beat is f*cking swag, the chorus is not cool shoulda made a new lyrics and llow recycling that same sample and IMO he possibly devalued the whole song by bigging up certain guys (PDC and Northstar). That will most prob get more focus than the rest of the people 'cause its contraversial and their one of the last people to get bigg'd upOh yeah and why the f*ck do UK singers always over sing? They always treat things like they may die tomorrow or this could be their only chance of making suttin so they feel like they gotta overdo it2nd more things, start with the bad then end on the good. The people he name checks are just musicians and sportsmen, could have looked a bit further and bigg'd up more people I hadnt heard of so I could have fun on Wiki.Good thing was the ending, that was very good. Also, to those complaining about him having Stormin in the vid, since when was there a problem with squashing beef?

Quoted from the original topic and point still stands, but the beat has grown on me.

[Steven]

Kills himself on his own track when he bigs up PDC.

[darkman]

Kills himself on his own track when he bigs up PDC and Northstar.

[Yung Fly + Flashy]

I swear anytime a UK artist makes a tune that doesn't involve negative sh*t, they get slated
