[Complex] The 10 Greatest Rappers of the Last 5 Years

[Poitier]

I'm not joking. AND it ain't just Complex but like 99 percent of rap music journalism is majority white, which is why you have to put the stuff that they write into context.

It's not that surprising I was a journalism major and could usually count the number of other black dudes in the class on one hand, wasn't really the same case for black girls though it was a lot of them especially in broadcast classes.. In small classes I was probably the only black guy in the room no lie.

I feel your pain,I rarely saw another black guy in any of my journalism classes at Ohio State Maybe @SHAQAVELLI will tell us how journalism classes at Penn state were

Yeah man I was at Rutgers so I know exactly what it's like in those state schools. One thing I couldn't complain about though was all them black and spanish chicks in my classes though

Not all hip-hop journalism is white but like a lot of the parts of the creative industry, financial industry, legal practice, medical industry.... shyt ANY industry, the effects of racism and patronage are real. (I'm black and have worked for several black-owned and run sites like SmokingSection, SOHH etc.) They swoop into these spaces, buy up all the black media and the owners are happy to sell out both the staff and management duties for a check. Real talk. A few are still hanging in there but it's getting smaller and smaller and smaller.

Yeah not all cause I know Vibe was all black when I went to the offices once and I think The Source is but I'm not sure if they get the same clicks/circulation as Complex and Pitchfork.

It's "greatest", not "best", they're talking about mainstream success, etc

complex made a "best rappers" list a few weeks ago and it was very different
