I respect your opinion but why? Isn't everything I said right? Don't white people love the "safe" rappers over the dangerous ones? Isn't k dot "safe" looking compared to other rappers who whites would be afraid of?

Example: Why did jay-z take off and not dmx? They both came out at the same time and had great albums. X never had the popularity of jay simply because a goofy camel face looking guy is non-threatening, a jacked barking crazy black guy is scary.

Don't white people accept those they can identify with more? There are countless other examples especially the king cac: eminem.

Yeah you're right. White people hate Ja Rule and 50 Cent.:troll:

First off, I invite you to point out to me where I said anything about a rapper having an all-black fanbase. Your dumb ass can't. My point was about "safe" vs "threatening" rappers and that direct correlation to their white fanbase. I can see some of you morons need to get your reading comprehension up.

Secondly, so now you can't formulate an argument? How convenient. You can't explain how I'm "off-base?" Why? Is it because the young cac bytch singing the hook will always win over a big barking black man? Because jay's cac fanbase has always been stronger than x? When did I say x didn't have white fans? gtfoh weak bytch

And yes, gangsta rap was "all the rage" back when it was burgeoning into the mainstream around 91, but due to it's abrasiveness and "threatening" nature it was not the most popular or accepted form of music by a long long long shot. White parents back then forbid their children from listening to rap, stores took copies off shelves due to its abrasiveness. Rappers of the gangsta era didn't have the same business opportunities, executive postions, branching out into other mediums, etc. as they do now simply because it was music too abrasive for whites so they relegated them to the studio. Hip hop didn't become a mainstream superpower until the flossy era which cacs found more acceptable. Especially prevalent today, no one can argue that the least threatening rappers are the most successful and have reached levels of acceptance in the cac community like never before: kanye, wayne, drake, nikki in particular. I've seen people in here mention gucci or flocka who dont share a fraction of the success as the others I just mentioned, why? because that white fanbase doesn't find them "safe" enough. But Kendrick looks non-threatening and safe and whites love it, period.

Now come back with some "bu bu but you're dumb as a box of rocks" garbage and don't back it up, and I'll shyt on you again p*ssy.

There are incredibly ridiculous arguments on both sides of this issue. Damn.

It's easy to see that Kendrick has a diverse fanbase. Fans on all sides of the spectrum. When he goes fully mainstream, he may pick up more White fans obviously, but he still has a pretty well-rounded group of fans.

On the other hand... there are rappers coming out now who are successful without even touching the urban market or community. These are your Macklemore, Hoodie Allen type rappers. Rappers who have no desire to even touch the urban market yet are touring successfully making rap music that their fanbase is almost all White. Black folks don't know of or care about most of these rappers. A few do though.

It really does go both ways in terms of audience. Some are diverse, a few will hardly reach to the other side unless people go looking for their type of music.
