Scarface is a snitch and an idiot, let's start there. nikka got multiple babys mamas, I ain't trying to hear him kick knowledge. He made classic music but that's it.
Let's get this straight: there are more execs of color now than there were in the 90s. There is more support for independent artists now than ever before. The dominant, most consistent rappers today remain black: Jay-Z, Wayne, Drake, etc. When I say "consistent" I don't mean in terms of quality music (because lords knows all three are wack most of the time). I mean in terms of radio dominance, remaining on top of the culture, etc. They've been mainstays for awhile.
Every white rapper doesn't waltz in and "win." Ask Asher Roth how he's doing right about now, or any of the other faux Eminems record execs tried to find. Macklemore, Mac Miller, etc are doing their own thing INDEPENDENT of the industry. Even if you don't fukk with their music, you should at least respect their hustle. They found a lane and did it, without trying to replicate what Eminem did/does. Meanwhile mainstream label rap is dominated by 808s, drug culture rap, trap shyt, and a bunch of other wack shyt.
Who's fault is that? Last I checked this is a business my g, the consumer dictates where the market goes. If the market wants to hear Wayne, Drake, and Ross over 808s all day than guess what a label is going to put out? Meanwhile Macklemore and Miller are at least proving that there's a market for other shyt. I hated on Drake a bit earlier in this post but I'll admit even he does some stuff that isn't generic. Kendrick is breaking stereotypes in terms of what can get radio play/sell records, Cole has done that to an extent, etc. There's hope for non trap/molly rap, but it's on the CONSUMERS to demand something new. I don't want to hear about white execs anymore. Let's look at nikkas and cacs who want to listen to the same damn shyt all day erryday until the next fad comes around. If you were a businessman you'd cater to them too, because that's where the money is at.
Tired of nikkas blaming white people for everything. Iggy is trash, Mac is trash, Macklemore is meh...but they aren't the ones destroying mainstream rap. I'm more disgusted by Young Money, MMG, etc putting out the SAME DAMN SONG every month.
don't get mad at nikkas get out ov the hell hole they in, get mad at cacs takin the position they should fill. that is the problem
