Slick Rick Disses Jews?
A contributor to the Eastern Conference Records website forums posted a message yesterday stating that,
AT THIS WEEKS HIPHOP CONFERENCE / RALLY / WHATEVERTHAFUCK, IN NEWARK, SLICK RICK GOT UP ON STAGE AND PROCLAIMED THAT THE JEWS WERE THE ENEMEY OF THE WORLD, THE SCURGE OF THE EARTH, THE BAD OF THE BAD, THE FUCKIN H IN HORRIBLE, N ALL THAT GOOD SHIT.
The writer of the original message goes on to “defend” us in a way that, frankly, is almost as offensive as Slick Rick’s alleged comments, but regardless, if it’s true, that shit’s mad fucked up.
The Newark Star Ledger has a writeup on the event but notes no outright antisemitic remarks by Rick, noting instead,
Inspired by the setting, Slick Rick also offered a rambling political speech, speaking out against the war in Iraq (“It’s strictly an oil thing”) but expressing ambivalence about the upcoming presidential election (“You can’t trust Kerry either”).
Anyone else hear anything about this? (c/o Shred)
“…Inspired by the setting, Slick Rick also offered a rambling political speech, speaking out against the war in Iraq (‘It’s strictly an oil thing’) but expressing ambivalence about the upcoming presidential election (‘You can’t trust Kerry either’).”
Often enough, “against the war” now amounts to “against Israel.” Neocon is newspeak for Jew. Zionism is the new apartheid. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it will stay as long as we officially suck at arguing against it — either because we’re generally too lazy to engage and confront it, or else we’re too busy coalition-building to bother. Maybe we’re afraid of looking too much like our unhip, GOP-smitten, Toward-Tradition, Hare Dubya mishpacha.
Slick Rick is a dick.
holy shit. ridiculous. man.
he hasnt been relevant for like what 15 years.
If thats true thats pretty bad, Slick Rick is probably my favourite MC. it amy not be, surely they would have mentiones that in the Newark Star Ledger?
