LIVE & LET LIVE BUT WE STILL CAN GET 5 MINUTES...
RECAP
THINGS GOT HEATED TODAY ON THE BREAKFAST CLUB BETWEEN ONYX MEMBER FREDRO STARR AND ON AIR PERSONALITY CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD. FREDRO SEEMED TO TAKE REMARKS MADE BY CTHA GOD AND COMMENTS ABOUT ALLEGED INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH FREDROS ONE TIME GIRLFRIEND SINGER BRANDY NORWOOD TO HEART. AT FIRST IT SEEMED STARR ADDRESSED HIS DISDAIN FOR THE COMMENT AND MOVED ON BUT AT ABOUT 8 MINUTES INTO THE INTERVIEW THINGS GOT TENSE BETWEEN THE TWO WHEN FREDRO ASKS CHARLAMAGNE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE GOT PUNCHED IN THE EYE REGARDING AN INCIDENT EARLIER LAST YEAR WHEN CHARLAMAGNE WAS CONFRONTED BY A GROUP OF MEN OUTSIDE THE STATION AND WAS ASSAULTED ALL WHILE BEING RECORDED, THE STORY WENT VIRAL AND BECAME A TRENDING TOPIC WHEN THE FOOTAGE WAS RELEASED. CLICK THE LINK ABOVE TO VIEW HOW THE SITUATION WAS HANDELED BY THE TWO AND READ ON TO HEAR MY P.O.V ON THE SITUATION...
FIRST AND FOREMOST I COMMEND BOTH MEN FOR PORTRAYING THAT MEN FROM THE HIP HOP/URBAN CULTURE CAN HAVE HEATED DIALOGUE AND COOL HEADS CAN STILL PREVAIL. ALTHOUGH WILL PROBABLY GO ON ABOUT HOW C THA GOD WAS "PUNKED" OR "LEANED ON" AS MY DMV BREATHREN WOULD SAY BUT AS A FAN AND SUPPORTER OF THE CULTURE I LOOKED PAST ALL THE TESTOTERONE DRIVEN TOUGH TALK AND INSULTS AND SEEN THE "BEAUTY IN PAIN" AS I WOULD L SAY. EGOS ON BOTH SIDE WERE OBVIOUSLY BRUISED AND YOU COULD TELL BOTH SIDES WERE NOT BACKING DOWN AS SHOWN IN THE INTERVIEW FOOTAGE. I BELIEVE CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD HANDELED THE SITUATION APPROPRIATELY AND IN A MANNER THAT SHOULD BE COMMENDED. ONE COULD SEE A SCENERIO LIKE THIS COMING A MILE AWAY BECAUSE OF C THA GOD'S BLUNT IN YOUR FACE & SOMETIMES NO HOLDS BARRED INTERVIEW STYLE. WE LIVE IN A ERA NOW WHERE INSTEAD OF ARTISTS MAKING HEADLINES FOR THEIR ART THEY ARE NOW MAKING HEADLINES FOR WHAT GOES ON OFF CAMERA AND ON THE RUMOR MILL. (WELL SOMEBODY MUST NOT HAVE GAVE ONYX THE MEMO) ONYX ON THE OTHER HAND CAME FROM HIPHOPS GOLDEN ERA WHERE WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE ASIDE FROM THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF TUPAC AND BIGGIE IT WAS ONLY SPECULATION OR ONLY DISCUSSED BEHIND SCENES BUT DIDNT OVER SHADOW THE ART. THIS SITUATION TO ME IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TWO ERA'S COLLIDING AND IT WAS ENTERTAINING. WELL THIS IS THE WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN. PASS THE POPCORN AND LEMME GET THAT TEA... - O
