Is Griselda Records a white supremacist organization?

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

So freedom of speech and artistic expression is only allowed for white artists, OP?

Great post. It’s crazy how people just let that Hitler stuff slide. That’s why I’ve never listened to their stuff, there’s no way any self respecting black person would utilize that kind of imagery. The only reason these idiots get a pass is because they have a 90s East Coast sound. This board would crucify a young southern rapper using those same album covers.

I fukk with the music but the excuses in here are hilarious. funny how the troll excuse is acceptable when you like someone. nikkas rode all over doja cat for a lot less

Like some of the other posters have said, the lyrics and pictures appear to be for shock value.

However, I don’t know how this will play out for WestSide Gunn if he wants to appeal to a mainstream audience.

they will never be mainstream, no one cares about mafiosa rap anymore

Always found the confederate flag thing a bit weird, but that’s a down south thing. The Hitler stuff is also a bit weird. Not sure how it’s labeled “art” especially in these sensitive times.

thsts not a down south thing

These clowns rocking the flag doesn’t make it a down south thing

I heard it was a tradition thing though. But other rappers from other coasts have rocked them. Like Kanye etc.

They were actually living in the A after they dipped Buffalo before they blew up.

To add to the discussion, while OP is hitting some very interesting points, hip hop in general been on that shock factor steez since 2 Live Crew doing stunt poses in front of asscheeks. Hell, this album right here raised concerns in the black community because of it's album title:

while its not on the same level of rappers having weird pop art of Hitler rocking three eyes and shyt, but folks were concerned that this album would turn black people away from going to college.

Remember when Dipset were naming themselves the Taliban during 9/11 and rappers comparing committing murders to the towers dropping? What about Nas posing on a crucifix which made folks raised eyebrows.

Hip Hop has always been one to stomp on egg cartons. While the Griselda shock factor shyt is weird, it's working because it got us talking about the shyt, rather than just being like.

Hence the concept of going for shock factor.

i fukk with the music. anything else beyond that, i dont care
and the hitler series is 1 of the best in music. hitler 8 coming folks

 

[Youseenmywork]

[88m3]

@Mephistopheles good thread

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

You make some good points but i chalk it up to them trying way too hard to be provocative more so than negative intent. I’ve always thought the hitler Hermès name was stupid

Yeah, it always came off as real juvenile and corny. Like yeah, we get it's a twist on the devil wears prada, but he's ran it into the ground at this point.

I see OP ate his red pills this morning.
