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

[Love Sosa]

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".

I've noticed there's a few main different types of white hip hop fans.

The Eminem ones that you see on youtube. Then you have the skaters and college kids who smoke a lot of weed who listen to rappers like the ones in this topic. These dudes also usually love Biggie, the wu tang clan, and Kanye. Then you have the ones who are basically slim jesus clones. Would've been G-Unit fans who wore durags in our day.

last but not least you have my least favorite who just started listening to hip hop 5 years ago who get their knowledge of hip hop from shyt websites such as noisey, pitchfork, complex, etc

The white rap fans who would've been g-unit stans are the ones with Chicago gangs in their Twitter handles

lol because hipop isnt black music anymore, we gave it away like we do everything

white people dont need us anymore for hiphop....they make their own shyt, market it online and blow up


and black rappers are whores so theyll cosign it few a few bucks

 

[NvrCMyNut]

what exactly are u surprised by? white rappers have always existed outside of the culture, icp went double platinum, eminem sold 20 mill got less play in the hood than hov who was sellin 2 mill. & we know black ppl are bandwagon fans. ur an annoying poster.

 

[SunZoo]

Hence the distinction that has been drawn between Rap Music and Hip Hop. You don't have to be Hip Hop to be a rapper, or make rap music.

And that's not to say that G-Eazy isn't Hip Hop himself...I don't know that much about him, don't care how big or small of a following he has with black folks. The one or two songs I've heard from him he sounds like a competent rapper so I'm not mad at him.

People thought it was just some ranting when people were debating the difference between the two and now you have nikkas running around basically summing up Hip Hop as a culture as purely entertainment or a genre of music...doing that reduces something much more complex to the same level of importance as "reality" TV.

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

Is it really that crazy?

Even on here...we got a thread for every album/tape days/weeks before it drops.
Then we got threads wondering how in the hell Adele got so big (edit - I meant successful, lol).

 

[nineteeneightysix]

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.

I actually thought "G-Eazy" was an alter ego for "Jeezy" when I read the title of that thread...Like "Ross" and "Rozay"...

There is no hip hop community anymore.

It's really in between these.

What is "the loop" really? I mean, there used to be a "loop"...but from what I understand, the best part about
"hip-hop" in this current age is that we're not restricted by the confines of a "loop"; everybody can find whatever
they want. So I guess...we'll have to agree that everybody must want some G-Easy and the like if they get so much love. Right? lol

@DarianaGrande you are right - they are making a name for themselves as rappers, completely separate from the world of Hip-Hop.

When I read that, I sat back and read it out loud. It made me laugh a little bit.
Why? Because I never even thought anyone would ever consider to do it.
It almost seems too simple to work.

G eazy, is a fake industry plant.
He is signed to little wayne's management company.
RS, tries to just slip it in there matter of factly, on some complete bullshyt.

i didnt know mgk was so big either. i thought his 1st album flopped? i never hear much mention of these guys on or off the net really

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

G Eazy has worked w a bunch of usual hip hop people, he's not outside of anything.

 

[Uncle Phil 36]

These guys have figured out their market, they don't ever need to blow up and they do as well as established rappers like Ross, 50 and them without even needing black fans.

Noticed this when I was in college a few years ago, theres a ton of these guys, Mac Miller, Macklemore, G-Eazy, Sammy Adams, Hoodie Allen.

They'd get booked at the white frats for like 5gs alone not even mentioning the bigger shows

this hoodie allen dude has the #1 rap album in the country

Rap Music: Top Rap Albums Chart | Billboard

 

[Insensitive]

I'm not surprised at all.
Dudes like atmosphere and sage francis exist/existed almost entirely off of a white audience.

It was only a matter of time until they could find some barely rappin ass facsimile to market to white kids who don't really fukk with Hip-Hop as an art form.

What's funny is some of these college aged kids share the same attitudes as these stuck in the 90's clowns.
Only difference is they disparage black rappers then support a white one with their dollars cause they could give a fukk if he's popular or not, they'll make him popular due to their sheer numbers.

 

[ridedolo]

never heard of them but me and my friends dont listen to white rap
