It's crazy to me how these white rappers are creating names for themselves literally outside of Hip-

[Mandarin Duck]

I'm in that Ross thread and see that a white rapper named G-Easy is projected to sell 95-100k in his first week

The only time I heard of this cat was on here when yall was saying he is an industry plant.

Then a poster peeps me to these dudes Mike Stud and Hoodie Allen. Never heard of them either but they got Millions of views on YT


The crazy thing to me is when it comes to Hip-Hop I'm pretty much in the loop. Even if I listen to an artist or not, I pretty much know about what current artist are out making some noise right now, yet I've never even heard of these dudes. It's like these cats are making a name for themselves as rappers, completely separate from the world of Hip-Hop.

The even crazier thing to me is their fans seem to be as if not more loyal than black hip-hop fans.

College kids always been trying to find a voice in pop music. In the 60s they got Bob Dylan and all them, in the 80s they got REM, now its hoodie allen and chiddy bang

G-Eazy is pretty big with white college kids and people that use shyt like Reddit. Kind of funny tho, this dude I went to high school with tweeted how G-Eazy's album was fire and it's good when a "rapper actually raps"...

Had me realizing how rap music sorta lost the identity it had in the 90s.

But most people who listen to that shyt are millennials who don't really listen to the classics we revere

mac miller isnt that corny

youre from madison? the friend i mentioned actually goes to school at UW madison. i thought/assumed g easy was popular out there.

 

[jilla82]

a lot of these internet rappers are eating strictly off of white kids who arent into rap like that.

You could probably add that guy from Chicago (cant think of his name now)....
...shyt, a large part of Drakes success is due to random white people loving him.

There is no hip hop community anymore.

Nah hes dope as hell.

What's your friends name? Maybe I know him. lol

Yeah I think that's some underclassmen shyt. I don't go house parties or anything like that, but Ive never heard G-Eazy at a bar. Usually they play EDM or throwback club tracks (Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon, etc)

This is the only thing irritating to me. It's coo that they like him as an artist buts it's another thing when you wanna but him on some pedastal of "He's the only one making real music". It's very similar to Eminem and his white fans. Yes he's dope, but don't allow your ignorance of Hip-Hop to make bold statements like that.


I've heard the whole "I don't Like hip-hop but I love Eminem" used way to much in the past and I get a feeling that some of these fans of G-Easy, Hoodie Allen, etc are saying the same thing. It's like they find a white artist in hip-hop that they can finally culturally identify with and want to praise them while completely dismissing the black artist that may not speak from their specific lifestyle as "garbage" or "Not real".

White artist gonna always sell more than us, it's just the nature of the beast. We all can name 5 artist who would rap circles round Macklemore, G-Eazy, etc but the machine is gonna make sure it looks out for their own.

I wouldn't even necessarily agree with this. At least not in hip-hop. You take the 10 best selling hip hop albums of this year and all the artist on there are black (unless G-Easy sells what he is projected to, he'll be the only one).

But it does seem like their fan base is way more cult-like and will support them a lot more than we support our own.
