My issue isn't that they're suburban, because that's not necessarily their fault - you can't choose your upbringing. My issue with them is that Complex is less about the Hip Hop culture and more about hypebeasting everything current.
And I get that they're a media outlet, so naturally, they have to stay current. I understand that. But I don't know, I always got the feeling that Complex never really cared too much about the culture beyond the trending topics, basically the rap version of TMZ.
But sites like HipHopDX and (my personal favorite) DJBooth, they focus on actual discussions and topics that really makes the reader think. For example, I'm a huge fan of HHDX's breakdown series that Justin Hurle used to do, which is now run by Murs, touching on topics in an informative and an unbiased way. And DJBooth will post articles relevant articles to everyone, from the artists to the audience without fear of backlash. Articles going from asking the question "What is an independent artist, really?" and "What can Lil Yachty's Everyday Struggle interview teach about 360 deals?" to "Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. album is about his fear of God" (to which Kendrick directly responds to the article and confirms the theory) and J. Cole being a reader of the blog site.
I'm just a big fan of journalism that really encourages people to think and to throw out intelligent and interesting topics, and while I get that there's a lane that Complex is occupying, it's unfortunate. Complex has the shows on their channel, which is a cool idea. But Everyday Struggle really made people tune into Complex, even if people hated the company itself. Sad to say that ES is most likely done now, because had everything worked out, I really think it would have been huge.

yeah
shyt is even worse on articles, before reading them I always have to check the author and their picture. Apparently anyone that went through at least a bit of journalism is all of a sudden the expert on anything

Carlin said it best:
They took hip-hop and made it theirs. So in 2017, one of the biggest rap songs was made by someone who looks like this:
Now, they've taken over our way of dress, called it 'streetwear' and now the corniest of people wear supreme and bape and actually think they're cooler than you. Like this:

I'm not denying the fact that there are some white dudes who grew up in the culture and are indeed "down" (I personally have white friends I went to school with who were hiphop heads and put me onto sh1t my black friends weren't up on, first time I heard someone play 36 chambers *besides myself of course* was at one of my white classmates crib in the early 2000s...my blk friends were more into whatever was the current flavor/trend) but this is ridiculous
they need to throw in atleast 2 black people
