Can we stop letting cacs use hiphop for career boost

[Tribal Outkast]

Her R&B push was really more by her record label and LA Reid than anything

Right lol. She was signed to Laface in the Kandi Burress no scrubs era. She kinda had to do what she had to do. The rebrand worked like a MF though.

There’s literally a thread with bruhs hyping up Japanese people doing Memphis rap.

Metal isn't that gatekept lots of bands with black people who are crazily talented.

The thing with metal unlike other genres of music is you can't fake it. If you can't play an instrument you will obviously get shown the door.

Hip hop allows these artists to use the surface the imagery and the fake rebelliouness of hip hop cache before switching gears. Each and everytime.

It's so obvious, but it works everytime.

The other main issue is a lot of black artists are not allowed to evolve outside of strict genres.

It's why white artists can happily jump from genre to genre and nobody cares.

When I say gatekept I'm not necessarily talking about race, I'm talking more about authenticity and talent. You can't fake the funk over there because they'll sniff you out quickly.

I have no issue with an artists changing genres the disgusting part is the disdain they show for the black artform, audience and culture they have used as a platform once they leave.

I feel like by just making this thread weve already changed the course of history

"we" are not letting anything happen.

it's these black artist and black folks in the music industry giving them credit and legitimacy

black people don't listen to white people in rappers. never have. why will we?

Her R&B push was really more by her record label and LA Reid than anything

i don't know, I think i read somewhere that she was auditioning with R&B music. And that she was in R&B groups before signing.

White Iverson is a classic though. I literally don’t know another Post Malone song…most nikkas I know don’t…but that was a legitimate hit we fukked with

I don’t know what he been on since that

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Paul Wall hasnt switched up and never said the n word to disrespect our women either

They kinda kept that punk rock element though. I mean fight for your right don’t sound like hiphop at all to me. I have no problem with them btw.

With Post, this one is on y’all. His intentions seemed evident from the beginning.. he could easily switch up from rap to some other shyt. He did it fast AF though

Culture vultures….again they needed black cosign.

Culture vultures….again they needed black cosign.

Paul Wall ain't a culture vulture at all

Add that fat fakkit Jelly Roll to that list too. He used to roll with Three 6 Mafia n nem. I was shocked when they called this nikka a new artist.

That's the Spiderman song

Swae Lee carried

That song wouldn’t be shyt without Swae Lee, he wrote that. Just like this song right here.



Celebration, which was Post’s biggest hit for a while, wouldn’t be shyt either if not for Quavo and Metro Boomin.

People who say black artists have nothing to do with these white acts becoming more popular than they should be don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.


Here’s two examples of where white rappers would be if not for a black co-sign:
