Anybody else weirded out when black slang becomes mainstream? nowadays its faster than usual..

[The Devil's Advocate]

A little off topic I’m old but i remember back in like the mid 90s where if you heard any type of hip hop or “urban” music in public spaces (stores/community events/sporting events etc)you would stop and be like “are they playing hip hop” hell even commercials

Organizations like the nfl was all rock and pop heavy so the closest you might hear is 2 live crew or mc hammer/ tone loc type music but even then it felt like a win for the hip hop culture

Now it’s so over saturated/forced and used it almost feels devalued

Last think I’ll say is how the word woke was hijacked and politicized ….it used to mean something totally different but it’s too far gone to bring back

I was in Colombia with my man is a little older. He was AMAZED seeing guys rap on the street in Spanish. He had to hang his arm out the window, holding a radio, to get a signal and hear Hip-Hop. Now he's walking down the street in another country, hearing it blast from the street and little kids rapping their ass off for money for it.

His face and voice.. It was pure love and admiration.
