I think it's acceptable both ways. It depends on the situation. musically it doesn't really matter because nowadays I barely know the ethnicity of the artist that i'm listening to.
But when roughly 12% of the US population are black while 72% are white and you got zero black movie blockbusters (not counting that c00n Scientologist will smith), can't really think of a black show on a regular network, only the token black guys in major shows. And no support for BET shows. while at the same time you got movies with an all white cast pulling in millions of dollars every two months. you got shows like two and a half men and big bang theory fully supported by all of america.
It's obvious that white people take care of their own people but we refuse to follow suit and instead support their people. This is not their fault, it's ours.

bad example.
Kendrick & kanye get no burn in the hood.
the only rap concerts I go to where the crowd is mostly white are the shows by '90s rappers that peaked 15 or more years ago.
which is funny cuz, the '80s shows have mostly black crowds.

and black people support the hell out of black channels. tv-one, BET, bet centric, bounce. and now magic Johnson has the aspire channel.
also, I wouldn't even have known that diddy's channel actually launched if it wasn't for this board. I don't even know if I have it.

that's because the hole in the wall clubs have artists performing that black people want to see.

I totally agree with this post.
totally.
that's what revolt is?Whole time Diddys the one that turned hip hop into pop in the first place. Now its our fault that he chose to create a pop music channel...
a pop music channel? I pass.
why should I be expected to support a channel that's not geared towards me?
I don't like diddy anyway.
Oprah came out with her TV network a few years ago and its just now starting to turn around and shes oprah. Diddy is going to have wait it out and allow the project to pick up. It hasn't even been one whole week how can it be a failure?

miley cyrus anybody?
Is it possible some people are just not feeling his music?
Such as
No we don't.
We've just heard it all before.
Kanye is not the first rapper to talk about class and race.
Why should we celebrate him for something others have been saying for the longest while?

You notice OP is only naming the most popular rappers (Diddy, Kanye, Jay-Z, Kendrick)
I never see people get outraged that Killer Mike, or Ab Soul aren't selling out shows or having their business ventures supported by the Black community...
Where was this thread when blacks didn't support the last G.O.O.D.I.E. Mob album?
He's just another bopper for mainstream corporate rap trying to wrap his opinions in Black Nationalism....
A lot of these rappers think they are better than the people that are listening to them. There is a lot of ego among Black entertainers and this is why when they fail all they get is laughs and snickers.
