Well they dnt but not in the way ur thinking
Most vets who have anything to say about that usually refer to white appropriation not so much the sound or the lack of overly complex lyricism etc etc. They speak moreso about the commercialization of the culture not the music itself...and real talk trap music is farther away from the image those vets complain about than the image rappers like kdot, drake asap, etc. represent
this image

naaaww u dnt get what im referring tolol a video of him performing a song touching on racism in front of a bunch of white... how terrible![]()

naaaww u dnt get what im referring to
The image that im referring to is the "safe negro"
u know..the mc that markets himself as a rebel when it comes to music but not so much when it comes to things that matter....cacs love that sht
What do u think Kdot biggest selling point is as a product? to be the voice of those who have a general rebellious attitude when it comes to "mainstream hip hop"
Same way they marketed Eminem
And Kdot does this only enough to make this trait believable but he wont really do anything outrageous or say anything too outrageous
He's pretty much almost the perfect balance

Nah he doesnt have to do anything..he can get his money....I dnt even look at hip hop culture as a real culture forreal...hell..I made a thread a whileback asking what exactly is hip hop culture outside the art..and nikkaz had no answersso tell me what should kendrick do? get on stage and yell "fukk crackers" so his fanbase will put a guard up and be like "what" and completely disregard him?
yes, because telling your oppressor "fukk crackers" is real effective to teaching them why they are oppressing you... no, they're going to get defensive and put up a guard.
fukkin asap mob were in their bet cypher on some black power shyt and people were clowning them
asap ferg has referenced Fard a few times in his music, in that song Lord, specifically
"Reincarnation of Master Fard
Elijah Muhammadreside in my heart
Diss and I'll blow, and shouts from Allah
Knowledge was born with science young lord"
yeah, that's real "safe"

so tell me what should kendrick do? get on stage and yell "fukk crackers" so his fanbase will put a guard up and be like "what" and completely disregard him?

and btw those bars from Ferg will simply be overlooked because he's not marketed as a intellectual or rebel...so tell me what should kendrick do? get on stage and yell "fukk crackers" so his fanbase will put a guard up and be like "what" and completely disregard him?

that worked out real well....
all, im saying.. is as a white person, that aggressive "fukk crackers" approach isn't effective imo, most of our lives and thought process are heavily rooted in white supremacy, we grew up with it, our educational system, our media, our families passed it down..to the point your avg teenager or 20 something year old white person don't even know it is or recognizable it as some sort of problem, its the norm in white culture, so when a black man gets on stage and says some "fukk white america" "fukk crackers" shyt, we automatically assume they're purely talking about the color of our skin and not our actions and thought process that oppresses an entire group of people and we're quick to put up some sort of defense instead of hearing them out...
i hope this doesn't come off as some sort of "be sympathetic to white people and their racism", but more so trying to explain why that isn't really effective, your avg white person already views black as aggressive and threatening so to for a black man, so to one actually get on stage and actually be aggressive militantly, they're just going to write him off as a racist and blaming whitey for all their problems and completely dismiss them instead of being sympathetic and take a step back and analyze themselves
It helped us & soothed us
