???

There are mad diamonds in my chain and i know they are probably conflict diamonds… no need to boast about it.

blah

He is playful,right? he is a hot member of “”"” CA SUAL SEE K. CO M “”"” which is for casual encounter for romance. he has dated several hot girls on that club.

I get his point cuz who really knows where they diamonds come from?? Then again, why would you even say some sh!t like dat when lil kids and old ppl are dying so you can sport your ice. When you go in a store to buy your diamonds, most ppl dont ask where it came from, they just buy and anybody could lie and tell you its not from Angola. So Im not too disturbed by his comment becuase its the truth.

This will probably go down as one of the top news stories of 2008 that you’ve never heard about. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008. (It’s amazing that as Kucinich is presenting the articles of Impeachment in this C-SPAN video, his colleagues are not just ignoring him, they’re carrying on in conversation as if he’s not even speaking!)

Mainstream media gave very little attention to it – if any at all – because as the Fourth Branch of the United States Government their job is to control what you think and what you are exposed to. The Democrats and the Republicans are not interested in initiating impeachment proceedings against Bush though for different reasons.

The Republicans, naturally, wouldn’t want a sitting Republican President to undergo the scrutiny that comes along with the process – doing damage to the party and its future prospects of political leadership.

The Democrats, strangely enough, don’t want to support impeachment of George Bush because with his historically low approval rating, participation in war crimes, inattention to domestic programs, and general malfeasance in office, he has become a political pinata that the Dems can hold up and rally the masses toward the polls with. They wish to use him as a springboard for their return to power and are less interested in being faithful to their constitutional duty. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has even said as far back as two years ago that impeachment was off the table.

Which reminded me of a conversation that Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance clergy had with a popular Maryland Congressman last summer. When one of the clergy mentioned the prospect of impeachment against Bush, the Congressman laughed in our faces. Therefore, they are culpable in this mess as well.

I caught up with Troy Johnson from 105.7FM (Baltimore) this past Saturday at the African American Men’s Health Conference and he let me know that Congressman Kucinich may be joining him on his radio show on Monday, June 23, 2008 10AM – 12NOON on 105.7FM to discuss his plans to impeach Bush. I will be tuning in and I hope you will as well.

y not keep it 100 and admit to wearing blood diamonds? rappers suppose to be real but we all know the truth here

As foolish as he may sound for admitting his hypocrisy…

The Truth is the TRUTH! Most celebrities will say no blood diamonds

but the majority of them ain’t checking to see how this precious jewel

was put in the retailer’s possesion! How many celebs or normal people

ask a store/designer if they use sweat shops to produce their line of clothing?

What about the coffee and food we drink? Is that grown and harvested under the

FAIR TRADE ACT or grown in areas dedicated to conservation?

I’m glad Game talked about this publicly, ‘cuz it shows how foolish he is. Just because all the other “rappers” are doing it doesn’t mean he should, it doesn’t make that conflict diamond sh*t OK. And to brag about it too? Dumb. BTW, wasn’t he supposed to retire?

WhAT UP SMOKEY!! HOW WAS THE HOLIDAY??

Game should guzzle gas for a free pack of Doral cigarettes

Lou in the Chi

….interesting, thank u

I’m Just Me

Hello!!!

Nikki

I agree with you, I just don’t know why they try to fool us!

Blood Diamond Russ ain’t fooling me I know he is still buying blood diamonds

and if not, then let’s ask him about all the diamonds he purchased

prior to his campaign; did he turn those gems back over to chairty? What did he do with all his early tainted jewels??

Nikki,

I thought so…Game you’re dismissed.

I’m so tired of the gimmick sh*t. Nothing “real” about most of ‘em

all rappers wear fake diamonds

thats all they have to show for their

so called career — fake diamonds

that thing around his neck is ridiculous

and its all fake

Simple truth ! Y’all who’s shocked are hypocrites !

Lou in the Chi,

Good morning, I heard about these impeachment proceedings, but the radio show was 2 weeks ago. Are there any updates? Please share. Thanks!

What do you expect from the Game, this is a grown ass man who still wears gang colors.

******************************************

Lou in the Chi,

Great Post!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LOOK LOU! WE NEEDED THAT!

Its a shame that rappers glorify having Blood Diamonds from Angola. Fat Joe does that ish too. Game couldnt possibly feel their pain. If he did, he wouldnt wear them.

WHEN THEM AFRICANZ SOLD US, THEY CUT ALL TIES…IM LIKE “GAME” FUK THAT….IM DOING ME! WHITEY WEAR CONFICT DIAMONDS, WE NOT COMPLAINING…. AND THEY STOLE IT FROM US SO WHAT THE FUK….WE DYING RIGHT HERE OVER THEM ! LETZ WORRY ABOUT WE 1ST!

@glok9n

Seriously man, that’s an ignorant comment!

Africans did not sell you out! Some corrupt greedy assed chiefs sold you out (similar to the Al Sharpton and them elite republicans blacks who supported Biliary, Condi rice and other self interested people out there)- don’t tar us all with the same brush!

That’s like me saying all American men are dumb asses fools like the Game, 50 cents and Soldier Boy, and that Khia epitomises the average American woman!

But I agree you do have some serious problems in America, if you are the most powerful and rich nation in the world and you’re dying! Africans care more about you Black Americans than your own government does as exemplified by hurricane Katrina and ghettoisation!

whitey what? blacks wear much more bling bling !

He’s just saying the truth. – that he’s a cheapo and won’t pony up the dough for legit diamonds.

Leave him alone.

and he’s probably just saying the truth about the other hip hop celebs – that they too are cheapos who won’t pony up the dough for legit diamonds.

Most celebs are pretty cheap.

Why do rappers wear big diamond chains anywayz.

It’s so ugly.

and that’s why we as Black race ( all of us including you African Americans)- have such a problem progressing if we can’t even support each other. White folks are united in their agenda in ” ruling the world”, but Black people, it appears as though we are always looking after number 1 and chasing the dollar bill ( forgetting of course that the bulk of the profit goes to the White mans pockets)!

Blood Diamonds are conflict diamonds, children, families are killed for them and exploited during the extraction process! its inhumane and unethical and it is appalling that a person like the Game and hip hop stars who can make a difference in the campaign to stop them, don’t give a dogs ass! But I suppose it highlights the ME ME ME culture that is being perpetuated!

His statement, while probably true, does seem a little ig’nant.

I will say that there will always be corrupt military and political officials in certain countries in Africa who support their efforts with conflict diamonds.

But they are becoming fewer and fewer. More and more buyers of diamonds insist that they all be certified as ‘Conflict Free’. Why? Because if a Zales or any other major name in the business were found out, they would quickly find themselves out of business. No one wants that kind of attention.

Unless your diamonds were made in a lab,everyone wears blood diamonds.

@ Cat Eyes

Bostwana and SA diamonds are conflict free! Its the ones from Angola, Siree leone and the Congo that are the most tainted!

@ cat eyes

Hahaha – that’s not true. not all diamonds are blood diamonds. Go take a Minerology & Geology class – and talk to the Minerologists and Geologists at your closest university. You need education.

@ Vinandi

SMH at your comment about “united in their agenda to rule the world”

You think this is Star Wars – like they are the evil empire united to rule the galaxy?

This is simply an issue of people (like the Game) who are too cheap to pay for legit diamonds, thats it. It doesn’t matter what background the Game is – his background doesnt make buying blood diamonds and supporting them any worse – it’s just bad, period.

There is no other subtext here.

Thanks for the info Lou in the Chi.

@VINANDI! AS IGNORANT I THAT COMMENT WAS ITZ TRUE AFRICANZ DONT GIVE A FUK ABOUT NO AFRICAN AMERICANS AND NEVER DID, YOU KNOW IT! YOU COME HERE AND BLEED US NEGROES OUT OF THE O MIGHTY DOLLAR…TAKE OUR MONEY, SAY FUK US IN SWAHILI, BLOOD DIAMONDS OR NOT, WHAT GOVERMENTZ ARE REAPING THE BENIFITZ OF THIS DIRTY LUCRA!? NOT AFRICANS….BTW, I TAKE IT YOUR OF AFRICAN DESCENT!

AS IGNORANT AS THAT ! DAMN !

@glok9n

Not all Aficans man. You cant generalize like that

I wish people were as passionate to getting these Drugs off the streets that our children are injecting in their systems as people are defending these stupid ass diamonds…

@Vinandi and Sniper

Prove what you say-trust me,people died for whatever diamonds people have the so called luxury of wearing now.And for the record,any geology class being taught by crackers would never tell the truth anyway.

Dudes be tryna rhyme sh*t and together and Angola went with Motorola..LMAO… That issue of blood diamonds is very serious and need to be dealt with but the rap isnt that serious. Lighten up and be mad at the people who actually are responsible for that practice and the government for letting it happen.

@Reality Check

Well put. We are investing in our own demise. Just like with drug dealing and buying diamonds. Like Kanye say, Its like we got Meryll Lynched.

ITS THE TRUTH .. TRYING TO PRETEND LIKE HE ISNT WOULD BE PHONY .. I’LL GIVE GAME A PASS ON THIS HE WAS JUST BEING REAL AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS NO ONE CAN SAY WITH 100% ASSURANCE THAT THEY ARENT WEARING CONFLICT GEMS

nobody really knows where their diamonds come from..i love the Game’s eyes.. **swoon**

GAME SPIT THE TRUTH IT IS WHAT IT IS…YOIU CANT HIDE FROM GOD WHY HIDE FROM ANYBODY. BIGG UPS TO GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU GOT MY PROPS DAWG…

The money spent on diamonds by black artist and athletes is ridiculous. Few are investing in their own communities who wholeheartedly support them. Instead of wasting money on blood diamonds why not invest in banks and other credit lending institutions in the black community? Truly owning our own broadcast company? Grocery stores? Scholarships and grants? We have Bill Gates helping us ten times more than Oprah Winfrey. She loves to give white folks an extra leg up, but what about her own? I refuse to support these selfish any longer. I’m boycotting them all.

Its funny how other rappers like fat joe for example rap about having “Conflicts in my chain from Angola” in his song the Crack House feat Lil Wayne but no one notices or cares.. lol.. Oh well I guess his status of celebrity is not large enough..ha Elephant.

Oh please. He probably doesn’t even know where the diamonds in his big, gaudy, useless jewelry comes from. What he should have admitted is that he just wanted to come up with a contraversial line to get people talking.

@ LOU! I BEEN SAID FUK OPRAH, TYRD TYRA, THEY ARE NOT FOR BLK FOLKS! THEY ARE SELF SERVERS, WE DONT EXIST TO THEM, BUT YET GIVE THEM AWARDS AND ALL THIS BLK LOVE ONLY TO BE JUDGED WHEN ON THEIR SHOWS …BLK PPL STOP THE DEMAND ON THESE SELL OUT NIGGRS….CUZ THEY SUPPLY YOU WITH NOTHING, REAL TALK GEE! SHUT THEM DOWN!

THIS KAT GAME AINT PLAYIN WITH A FULL DECK…

HIS MOUTH TOO BIG YO…HIS CAREER IS HAVING A SLOW DEATH

HE TALK ABOUT HE DONT LIKE THE HOMOS AND NOW BLOOD DIAMONDS ON THE CHAIN….GTFOH!

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN A NICE WARM CUP O’ SHUT-THE-FUC-UP

HEY, I ADMIT TO MAKING IGNORANT COMMENTS,BUT IM NOT GOING TO GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT AFRICANS KILLING THEIR OWN FOR THE EURO DOLLAR EITHER, IM CONCERNED ABOUT MY PPL, WE HAVE A CONFLICT WITHIN OUR OWN 1ST AND FOREMOST, DONT BLAME RAP FOR AFRICA SOCIAL ILLZ! FUK THAT!

AND TO YOU NAY SAYERZ WHEN BLK PPL HERE GET INTO BEEF WITH THE ENEMY, WHY DONT AFRICAN UNITE WITH US, WE WOULD OUT NUMBER THEM RIGHT? INSTEAD THEY SECLUDE THEMSELVES FROM US,BUT MILK OFF OUR ADVANCEMENTS WE SUFFERED BLOOD, SWEAT ,TEARS AND SLAVERY DEATH… THEY THINK THEY BETTER, CUZ THEY CLAIM OUR BLOOD IZ TAINTED AND THEY SOLD US AND THEY ACT LIKE YOU OWE THEM! NIGGR FUK THAT!

@ cat eyes

U’re crazy. If the professor is lying, it’s quite easy for students to find out. With the internet etc, students will easily find out the truth if the prof is lying.

Go to geology class. Have some faith. It’s not all conspiracy in this world u know.

“Yeah – The Game sports the bloodied ice, and he doesn’t give a f**k. Not that we agree with this cat (and we really don’t), but why be stupid enough to even admit to that sh*t publicly? Trife.”

The black male could care less about his brethren right here in this country!!!! He’ll shoot him dead infront of his mama!!!

Why, again, should he care about his brethren abroad!?!?

SMDH!!!

@ REALITY CHECK

CO-SIGN! 100%!!!

YOU STOLE MY POST…. LOL!!!

99.9% OF ALL DIAMONDS HAVE AN “EXPLOITED/CONFLICT” HISTORY…

WHEN WHITES ARE IN CONTROL BY ANY MEANS IT’S OK!

WHEN BLACKS TAKE CONTROL OF THIER OWN ASSSETS IT’S A UNITED NATIONS ISSUE.

@sniper

Thats exactly what he is talking about. We would rather shoot down his perception of the situation rather than add to it. The “ruling the world” statement was in quotations for a reason which is it wasnt to be taken literally but as a metaphor. Game is one of those guys who may be too cheap to buy the diamonds that arent from that particular area so he takes the ones that are bloodied which is rather pathetic. People as a whole should look at whats being taken because of those things & realize they arent that important. They will never be able to gaurantee you life or time. Instead they take up your time trying to get them that you cant get back & you can lose your life over them. As you stated, its wrong all the way around. I understand both points of view though, which is possible to do. You dont have to only have a one track minded way of thinking. Both of you are right in your own regard.

@reality check

I feel that most of the comments on here are sprinkled with ignorance. Including reality check! I find it very humorous that you said:

“in response to the comment fron glok9n, I understand the point that you are trying to make, but the generalization you made made you sound very ignorant.”

and in your own writing included generalizations such as:

“Rappers, Athletes, Entertainers, and Black folks in general think that by aquiring diamonds some-how show that one has made it!”

“The majority of these negroes no nothing about diamond quality”

“Black people grow up, and stop trying to judge your worth on the standard of stupid white society!”

SOUND A LIL IGNORANT?!?

Not to mention hypocritical…..U do know what a generalizations is right?!?

While i believe that glok9n is just an idiot, I think your opinions and the way you communicate them could use a lil work!

if i remember correctly fat joe used some what of the same line i crack house

yo, the BLING culture as some of you call it has been in hip-hop from day one(ever heard of Slick Rick?). remember seeing Run-DMC with the big dookie ropes?

Im not defending it, im just saying its nothing new.

STEFANY

WELL SAID

THANK YOU

this is how nigg@@ clowns think, when your not educated and have no upbringing, everything is about self and the superficial regardless of its consequences in the bigger picture. That requires higher knowledge and deep thought and responsiblity to community (global, racial , cultural ) which these low standard CLOWN rappers will NEVER HAVE.

I don’t argue opinion, its a waste of time. I only deal with facts. You criticized someone for generalizing and turned around and used generalizations in your own argument. Thats a fact. I’m not even gonna debate whether or not entertainers and black folks in general think that having diamonds is a sign of making it…you did say black folks in general didn’t u….meaning all of us?!? CERTAIN black people may have those views but do me a favor and don’t speak for or about all of us. It makes your statement sound, how did u put it….”very ignorant?” I think your intentions were good but next time avoid using opinion. Also consider that diamonds are a representation of high social status amongst many races and cultures throughout the world. Believe it or not its not just a sign of “making it” for black folks. Ask the royal family…Black people didn’t invent the concept, we just bought into it. Do some people take it over the top, sure but once again thats just an opinion. Should they make smarter investments and focus on longterm wealth. Of course , and thats a fact i dont mind debating.

@ glok9n Kumanina (that is swahili) hope you can find an african to translate that to you. And FYI Africans do care for Black Americans just not ignorant ones like you and Game. Its the truth what he says about blood diamonds but I bet you if he showed up in Africa wearing them, he will most definately leave without them and for sure there will be blood.

My first language is not english but i for sure can teach you a thing or two about english @ glok9n.

And its true not ALL diamonds are blood diamonds, its just that blood ones are a little bit cheaper.

What game id saying is not the story or news. Russ is importing them b*itches and calling it charity and you car about lyrics in Games song. Truth is he dont know where they got them diamonds in the chain from no one can be sure. Target someone how supports the practices, diamond mines, and the killings not some dumb statement Game made in a song. Atleast his bring attention to the problem, negative or not.

Furiouz Stylez always have the funniest comments. I take it you know Game personally. The funniest one was “biscut ass nicca” !!!!! LMAO!!!!
