Xzibit checks his son on social media

[gorilla]

People came out the woodwork calling X all types of shit.

Flip the scenario with the kid saying the same thing about his mom and nobody would be talking about his entitled feelings. Instead, it would be how he should never disrespect his mother and she probably was working her ass off to provide for him. Just look at how the one sista was labeled a hero for slapping up her son during the protests, but had that been a father, his ass woulda been an abuser and likely arrested.

This generation has become way too comfortable with disrespecting their fathers, a lot of it due to the being raised by the hand of a bitter woman. That's a problem.

 

[obnoxiouslyfresh]

A lot of fathers are guarded and defensive about this topic, and as a result easily angered.

Now if those few exchange of tweets were the full extent of this, then to me it looks like an overreaction on Xhibit's part.

His son did not call him a deadbeat. He did not say he was a bad parent. He didn't even elaborate on the circumstances of why his father would not or could not be around. He simply acknowledged that the interview resonated with him, and he is entitled to own that experience. Fathers not being present affects children, period. Is he not allowed to utter this out loud? This includes parents who sacrifice time to earn and provide their kids as well. Children with fathers overseas in the military experience the same father hunger as kids whose dads are in jail. That's his experience. Parents are really sensitive people, and I get it. But when someone says "Not having my dad/mom around affected me," your ears don't always have to hear "You were a bad mom/dad. You aint shit."

This was last month... he clearly love his daddy. Xhibit in his feelings. Get over yourself

That behavior got Malcolm killed.

FAMILLY STUFF DONT GO PUBLIC!!

DONT BITE MILLIONAIRE HANDS THAT FEEDS YOU AND WILL PUT YOUR ASS IN A FERRARI!!

KEEP IT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DAD!!

I DONT WANT TO HEAR NONE OF THAT FAMILLY SHIT.

HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR PARENTS.

PEOPLE IN PARIS, MOGADICCIO, SIDNEY, KAZAKSTAN DONT HAVE TO READ ABOUT FAMILLY FEELINGS EXCEPT

THANK YOU DAD

The nigga didn't even say his dad was absentee. He said the interview spoke to him. He's entitled to that.

He is entitled to that. But it's odd that he can relate to a situation that he himself hasn't experienced. His saying the topic resonated with him implies his dad was absentee.

I'm pretty sure I could relate to someone whose dad was not around if mine was a fuckin rapper, all feelings aside. If you spent your child's formative years without much physical contact with them, then yes that affects them, even for the most well-meaning and good intentioned parents. These are highly sensitive topics that cause distress for fathers for good reason, but those are the facts.

The problem is how you assess that type of situation - appreciation / talking shit and calling them absentee or deadbeat ?

My father worked 2 jobs and my mother worked double-shifts and weekends a lot of the time.

Even if I didn't see one parent a whole lot, WTF I look like calling one of them out publicly for not being there or running around talking about I can relate to having absentee parents ? That's some fuck shit if you ask me.

I see how it happens to children though, in the current bitch-made society but once you get to be even a teenager talking that ignorant shit, you on some bullshit.

He didn't get on social media and go on a rant. In fact, he didn't even respond to his dad and Xhibit went on for more tweets after that talking big shit while responding to other followers. His son thanked Stylez for speaking on an issue that resonated with him, which we can all learn from, quite frankly. That's it, that's all. Joe Budden was crying on his podcast about the same interview. I suggest y'all go watch it before trying to check somebody about what they should feel connected to.

My parents are pretty much the shit too. I didn't want for a thing. Hard working people. Their names are tatted on me and I'd jump in front of an Ak47 for both of them. Annnnnnd with all that, they both taught me some of the worst, most fucked up, dysfunctional habits by the way they treated each other in front of me. Now I could hide from that or I could recognize that and correct my own shit. That's apart of being a sentient creature....part of the human experience. To have some perspective about "the stuff" that formed you. How you walk around tryin to act oblivious to the fact that you wasn't affected by your daddy not coming to one basketball game... In the name of somebody's ego. More often than not, parents fuck up their kids unknowingly. EVEN GOOD PARENTS. It's life.

here's the thing tho...no one is perfect. but the character should define the person not perfection.

if you respect that statement....it should be taught to your kids.

understanding why daddy aint home...should be instilled. he could be the very reason why a nigga work do hard.

so miss your dad....don't agree with absentee shit.

too different animals.

ole leopard don't change it spots ass niggas...but they don't know it's a cheetah they looking at.

just know what you speaking about

 

[jono]

So let me get this straight. Ob put together an essay that pretty much shut all this shit down and niggas still arguing?

You niggas just projecting at this point. She's absolutely right. The boy didn't say anything inflammatory. Xzibit, like a few niggas in here apparently, is feeling inadequate.

Thats a hypothetical that u tailor made to conveniently support your argument. Lets stick to what we have.

Just look at how the one sista was labeled a hero for slapping up her son during the protests, but had that been a father, his ass woulda been an abuser and likely arrested.

It works both ways sometimes. Lots of mothers are simply expected to be motherly n dont get praised for doing their job even if theyre doing the bulk. Whereas some dudes do the bare minimum half assed shit along with bringing drama while also expecting/demanding pussy even if they broke up n the mother supposed to just be happy that "at least hes in his life."

This generation has become way too comfortable with disrespecting their fathers, a lot of it due to the being raised by the hand of a bitter woman. That's a problem.

This aint that. There was no disrespect, maybe so on X's part.

You niggas just projecting at this point. She's absolutely right. The boy didn't say anything inflammatory. Xzibit, like a few niggas in here apparently, is feeling inadequate.

People (and by that I mean black people) will always refuse to reexamine our stance on issues when it comes to parenting, spanking/beating, mental illness, and anything involving some gay shit. And Stylez spoke on 2 out of 4 of those topics. I admire him for that.

so you hear your bf agreeing on many levels about his homies cheating hoe ass lazy gf...would you question him on what exactly he relating with?

@blackrain here's a scenario

 

[gorilla]

You thrown in some hypothetical/ maybe this or that situations tailored to your argument as well so what are talking about here?

There's different POV's in this thread, one is from adults with no kids and the other is from parents. Becoming a parent gives you a whole other perspective. With that parental perspective you could understand X's reaction to the re-tweet whether you actually agree with how he handled it or not.

I'd probably be in my feelings the way Xhibit is in his now. But that wouldn't make his statement any less valid. It would just make me in my feelings. Now a spouse telling you that is one thing and how you respond would reflect how much you care about your relationship, but I don't really think a parent should disregard what a kid says about how their upbringing affected them...at least in most cases.

Joe Budden was crying on his podcast about the same interview. I suggest y'all go watch it before trying to check somebody about what they should feel connected to.

My parents are pretty much the shit too. I didn't want for a thing. Hard working people. Their names are tatted on me and I'd jump in front of an Ak47 for both of them. Annnnnnd with all that, they both taught me some of the worst, most fucked up, dysfunctional habits by the way they treated each other in front of me. Now I could hide from that or I could recognize that and correct my own shit. That's apart of being a sentient creature....part of the human experience. To have some perspective about "the stuff" that formed you. How you walk around tryin to act oblivious to the fact that you wasn't affected by your daddy not coming to one basketball game... In the name of somebody's ego. More often than not, parents fuck up their kids unknowingly. EVEN GOOD PARENTS. It's life.

here's the thing tho...no one is perfect. but the character should define the person not perfection.

if you respect that statement....it should be taught to your kids.

understanding why daddy aint home...should be instilled. he could be the very reason why a nigga work do hard.

so miss your dad....don't agree with absentee shit.

too different animals.

ole leopard don't change it spots ass niggas...but they don't know it's a cheetah they looking at.

just know what you speaking about

This man said "I can relate on many levels. Thanks @Stylez for speaking on this"

Whatever baggage yall bringing to this thread...idk man

so you hear your bf agreeing on many levels about his homies cheating hoe ass lazy gf...would you question him on what exactly he relating with?

@blackrain here's a scenario

I'd probably be in my feelings the way Xhibit is in his now. But that wouldn't make his statement any less valid. It would just make me in my feelings. Now a spouse telling you that is one thing and how you respond would reflect how much you care about your relationship, but I don't really think a parent should disregard what a kid says about how their upbringing affected them...at least in most cases.

I'm not so sure he disregarded his feelings. I am thinking it came from years of built up frustration...with trying to built a relationship then to hear that could have a nigga responding like this.

a 1 off is one thing....but years of fighting can create responses like his.

 

[Trillfate]

Now u trolling

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

I mean they both loss for putting their business on social media. Especially Xzibit, considering he's in his 40s.

 

[Go figure]

You thrown in some hypothetical/ maybe this or that situations tailored to your argument as well so what are talking about here?

There's different POV's in this thread, one is from adults with no kids and the other is from parents. Becoming a parent gives you a whole other perspective. With that parental perspective you could understand X's reaction to the re-tweet whether you actually agree with how he handled it or not.

Lol i did that to show how hypotheticals can go either way and are thus irrelevant to the discussion.

But u got it bro

A lot of fathers are guarded and defensive about this topic, and as a result easily angered.

Now if those few exchange of tweets were the full extent of this, then to me it looks like an overreaction on Xhibit's part.

His son did not call him a deadbeat. He did not say he was a bad parent. He didn't even elaborate on the circumstances of why his father would not or could not be around. He simply acknowledged that the interview resonated with him, and he is entitled to own that experience. Fathers not being present affects children, period. Is he not allowed to utter this out loud? This includes parents who sacrifice time to earn and provide their kids as well. Children with fathers overseas in the military experience the same father hunger as kids whose dads are in jail. That's his experience. Parents are really sensitive people, and I get it. But when someone says "Not having my dad/mom around affected me," your ears don't always have to hear "You were a bad mom/dad. You aint shit."

This was last month... he clearly love his daddy. Xhibit in his feelings. Get over yourself

That behavior got Malcolm killed.

FAMILLY STUFF DONT GO PUBLIC!!

DONT BITE MILLIONAIRE HANDS THAT FEEDS YOU AND WILL PUT YOUR ASS IN A FERRARI!!

KEEP IT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DAD!!

I DONT WANT TO HEAR NONE OF THAT FAMILLY SHIT.

HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR PARENTS.

PEOPLE IN PARIS, MOGADICCIO, SIDNEY, KAZAKSTAN DONT HAVE TO READ ABOUT FAMILLY FEELINGS EXCEPT

THANK YOU DAD

THANK YOU MUM

The nigga didn't even say his dad was absentee. He said the interview spoke to him. He's entitled to that.

He is entitled to that. But it's odd that he can relate to a situation that he himself hasn't experienced. His saying the topic resonated with him implies his dad was absentee.

I'm pretty sure I could relate to someone whose dad was not around if mine was a fuckin rapper, all feelings aside. If you spent your child's formative years without much physical contact with them, then yes that affects them, even for the most well-meaning and good intentioned parents. These are highly sensitive topics that cause distress for fathers for good reason, but those are the facts.

The problem is how you assess that type of situation - appreciation / talking shit and calling them absentee or deadbeat ?

My father worked 2 jobs and my mother worked double-shifts and weekends a lot of the time.

Even if I didn't see one parent a whole lot, WTF I look like calling one of them out publicly for not being there or running around talking about I can relate to having absentee parents ? That's some fuck shit if you ask me.

I see how it happens to children though, in the current bitch-made society but once you get to be even a teenager talking that ignorant shit, you on some bullshit.

so wait....

if he said that an it wasn't true....how is that valid?

him making a statement doesn't make it right or valid an it's disrespectful. to you.

I mean if there are ways I could resemble someone's cheating, lazy hoe ass girlfriend, I'd like them to make it clear for me how they made that conclusion. But of course that's just you using an extreme example as a cheap way to prove a point. I can give you a real, more reasonable example. My man avoids confrontation. I'll say "You're not here for me." He has responded with "Yea I am. I do X,Y,Z for you." I'll say "Well...ok yea you do. But when we discussing some real shit, you leave. If you walk out the door while in the middle of argument, then that's telling me that I'm alone in this." See how 2 people can have 2 different interpretations of the same relationship? Now what he chooses to do with what I tell him is his discretion. But my experience is just that.

Joe Budden was crying on his podcast about the same interview.

@obnoxiouslyfresh are u referring to the Daily struggle he does with akademiks or his actual podcast? I wanna hear his take

How does paying child support give someone a pass for being a deadbeat?

How is supporting your child financially such an insignificant act that someone can financially support their child and still be called a "deadbeat" ?

If the priority is "being there" for the child, then why do courts order fathers to pay money instead of ordering them to be there ?

Until someone can answer this question there need not be any other posts on this topic. According to the courts a man isn't a deadbeat if he pays his court ordered support.

The answer is: Because the state doesn't want to pay for them.

Which is also why they force men who aren't the actual fathers to pay child support also, court doesn't care if they are a deadbeat or not, as long as the state doesn't have to pay for them.
