i saw it all the time... rap is just different.. yea you can pull that shyt with r&b and pop.. but rap, you still need that stamp, that co-sign, that HISTORY of putting in some type of work
there have been 10000 white rappers we could name.. about 5 have had success... beastie boys, vanilla ice, em, 3rd base and maybe another... paul wall or something... not counting 1 hit wonders
they all had a cosign that they were "real rappers" and knew the struggle and were vouched for.. but even so, half of those lasted 2 albums and disappeared (ice, paul, 3rd base) and beastie pretty much became a rock hybrid
that white shyt ain't working cause in hip hop, they still look to us to determine what's ok and what's not.. there would be too many LEGENDS and current rappers who would shut down bullshyt artists (see slim jesus) before they could get 2-3 albums of success... iggy can't even make her 2nd album cause nikkas combined to shyt on her... white people followed suit like "damn nikkas don't like her, fukk her"
every other genre, r&b included, doesn't work that way... well actually we don't know.. cause beyonce and 50 other singers, won't all show up in interviews, shytting on taylor swift and calling her fake and bullshyt.. they just don't say shyt, or go a step farther and give her praise.
but rap.... nah you not getting by in rap once the industry says you about some bullshyt... if the whole industry would have sided with 50 and shyt on rick ross, he'd be gone too and he's black.. they just all took up for him like "yea but its a job... i knew co's that got down... yea everyone embellishes" and he got the pass
's for him so hard...he "knows" him on some level, he got emotions invested in dude especially since he knows he was an influence. It's blinding him to the point where he didn't even wanna believe the ghost writing accusations when he was quick to go in on Meth for allegedly pulling from writing pools.
