Juz Rhyme, from the "white rapper show"

[R_P_A_S]

Have any of you watched this show on VH-1? "The White Rapper Show"? anyways there's this guy.. 'JUZ RHYME" and he is all about power to the people and he seems to know about socialism and the class struggle. you can tell on his raps and just how he talks.

When he got eliminated he even said "workers of the world unite" anyways.. all the other lil' punk "white rappers" diss the guy when he talks about revolution and power to the people. they are very condescending to him and try to make him feel like he has no idea what he is talking about.

And I also notice that when he talks about Black Power, and the Panthers and activism and having a responsibility to hip hop to black people they sort of look down on him, they seem to get offended and start also making fun of the guy. Like he is crazy.

that fucking pisses me off...

just because a white kid knows about about the struggle of your people. and all you know is platinum chains, sneakers and diamonds on ur mouth it dont meean you should disrespect him.

fuck ignorance!

In my opinion from the get go, he was going to get dumbed down.
Simply for his political views..it doesn't sell on the mainstream.

Its Jus Rhyme, with an s... just saying.

Is John Brown still on? He isn't very good at making his points, but he took his name from the abolitionist and I think is pretty down with some aspects of the struggle.

National lecturer and anti-racist activist, Tim Wise, calls AR-15 "...no bull, radical hip-hop: the kind that has the potential to redefine what it means to be white in the rap game."

Growing up, AR-15 rappers Jus Rhyme and Raw Potential lived the American Dream. They met in California in 1998 and witnessed an American Nightmare- poor white, black, and brown communities struggling to make it against wealthy elites and brutal police. Fueled by these realities, Jus and Raw imagined a new American Dream with their rhymes and activism. What would it look like if they used their time and money to support work for social justice led by people that experience social injustice? Their answer was AR-15.

The name AR-15 stands for fifteen principles that guide the rap group to "flip the system"- or use resources to support social justice work led by people from the community. AR-15 is walking the talk in the hip-hop underground, earning over $23,000 in gigs through independent promotion since 2004 and donating 25% of their income to racial justice organizing. AR-15 has worked with national recording artists Atmosphere, KRS-One, dead prez, and The Coup, and has been sought after by Def Jam Entertainment.

As far as Jus Ryhme goes.... he was just kinda dorky and when he rapped about stuff it didnt quite make any sense. I also wasn't clear what he stood for.

I respect him in the fact he would not degrade his values to play the rap game.

As far as John Brown goes, he had no fucking idea what he was talking about. He kept calling himself King of the burbs and talking about "Ghetto revival" which he never EVER explained in a coherant manner that could be defined.

I'm glad $hamrock won, he deserved it from day one, he has skills.

[southernmissfan]

I agree with you about Jus. I found him annoying and just not a very good rapper.

John Brown is obviously full of shit, but I think he's hilarious. Shamrock's not bad, sort of a Paul Wall knockoff I suppose. Those two were definitely the best two rappers of the show though.

This kinda reminds me of Jin and the hate that he gets from other MCs
Whenever Jin battles other MCs, he gets dissed and ridiculed for being Chinese
Most of the battle focuses on him not being black yet having skills
Most of the time the other MC raps about typical Chinese stereotypes, as a way to bring him down
Although Jin could easily start dissing ppl's ethnicity, and even using the word "nigga," he chooses not to
But most of the MCs he does battle are on the verge of racism with their rhymes and punchlines
Its pretty disgusting to see the hate that ignorance gives birth to

I go to the same high school where 'Jus Rhyme' went (he graduated in '98). AR-15 came and did a hip hop show at our school last monday. Their lyrics were really progressive, even socialistic. At the beginning of one of their songs, I started to get nervous when it was about supporting the "soldiers", but then they talked about "soldiers" on the streets here fighting to survive, basically class struggle. A few kids, like the fake 'counterculture' sXe 'hardcore' emo-"I hate rap music" "Abortion is murder" kids and the conservative squares, weren't into it though and some just treated it like a joke. I thought it was a lot better than the stuff he did on "The (White) Rapper Show," which was obviously heavily edited. I thought 'John Brown' was cool too though, It looked like he was wearing a shirt with a picture of Hugo Chavez printed on it in one of the early episodes.

he was wearing a Hugo chavez T.. but i dont get the whole king of the burgz and ghetto rivaval.
in his sont car wars he mentioned going out to get resources, and taking from people.. HUH?/ so that the burbz can stay on top???

[southernmissfan]

In the song he's talking about how the "luxury" in the suburbs (i.e. SUVs with a full tank of gas) comes from stealing resources ("killing for automobiles"). I thought it was a pretty good song.

It's weird how he started off over-confident and full of shit, but by the end he was nervous. If he had been more confident, he would have won, because he turned out to be a pretty decent writer.

Sadly this is almost always the case.
