Raekwon "The majority of people that come out for us is the white folks"

[Billy Ocean]

Nah the current Wu fanbase is very white to the point of like 95%. Young black kids don't look up to them like they do Jay, Nas, Biggie, Pac, Snoop, 3 stacks, etc. And neither do the people they're currently listening to.

Every alive n!gga you just pointed out have shows that are predominantly white. And where the fvck you getting that these young black kids don't "look up" to Wu? Must be why Drake and crews like Asap make videos and songs dedicated to and paying homage to them. Must be why Chris Brown performed rocking gear Raekwon was rocking in an old Wu video. Must be why Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, and several relevant artists have named dropped them in their raps and artists still seek several Wu members for verses. You don't know what the fvck you're talking about. Stop it.

 

[Billy Ocean]

It baffles me the way the white fans discussion is always made out to be a loss.

Start a black owned business outside of music where you milk white people for their hard earned cash and guarantee that would be viewed as a success.

It's backward ass thinking

These n!ggas is retarded, breh.

 

[Billy Ocean]

What they mean by that isn't concerts, they mean that they don't have strong footing with black people. Every major artist has a majority white fanbase, but do black people love you and fukk with you?

Again...you don't know what the fvck you're talking about. Where the hell you from?

 

[WickedGames]

Reading the different POVs on his had been interesting so far.

Sometimes is good when we discuss shyt on this forum and keep the troll levels low

 

[Da King]

Since cacs have no culture, they're willing to shell out money for anything that seems "exotic" to them. Most white boys get into rap with the need to compensate for the lack a masculine male role model, they use the Black man as a surrogate father figure until they realise they can hide behind their whiteness again.

 

[WickedGames]

Off memory the only concerts I have been to in the uk that had maybe as close to majority black crowd was Rick Ross

Partynextdoor was like an equal mix, black girls loved PND 1 and 2.

Everything else from Hov to Weeknd to Kendrick had a heavy white turn out.

Edit: I didn't go but I remember the future show footage from here and Amsterdam was pretty much all black iirc

New Drink champs 1hour 25 mins in or so

This is interesting. I see a lot of people on her downplay success because "it's only cacs supporting them, it's c@c Music" etc but Raekwon is one of th realest still relevant OGs saying this. Thoughts ?

Hey nikka.

Who has the most disposable income in the world ya dumb shyt?

 

[SirBiatch]

The wu was booked to perform at an HBCU in a majority black city Savaannah Georgia but show got cancelled cause UGK was performing on that same date and the attention was on them

Method Man constantly said how the reception to him is never good in Atlanta and this is the "black mecca"

So lets cut the crap and realize that our tastes in music ha been defined by skeezers..hoes..ratchets..hot girls ....thots....and single babymamas

Whom in the words of chuck d

"Just wanna live thier life not hear all dat black bullshyt"



Stop making excuses and start holding ourselves accountable

WE DONT SUPPORT OUR OWN

Atlanta is not a great example. Real talk, non-East Coast areas aren't into hip hop like that. Lettuce be fukking reality. That's why they'll settle for and create watered-down hip hop You and others are welcome to get mad if it helps

Wu's base is super white. More than the normal hip hop act. I guess their lucky for that because they still buying up merch and going to shows in 2016.

This is true. Not even hating, but I rarely hear Wu getting played like that on the West Coast.

Yeah a lot of em do. How they support is DIFFERENT tho

The bigger you get the whiter your fans get wet..

 

[hex]

People who use the "their fans are all white" angle are fools... shyts always like that. Who didn't know the Wu had a HUGE white fan base? It's been like that from the jump.

Maybe you're loosely using the term "from the jump" but white people en masse didn't fukk with Wu like that until after "Forever". The major reason they attempted to tour with Rage Against The Machine is because Wu couldn't get booked at arena venues with predominantly white crowds by themselves prior to that.

[Kenny West]

So in here the consensus is that this is normal among hip hop acts huh

But one drake thread later

"WELL HE ONLY ON CAUSE OF THESE WHITE GIRL FANS UNLIKE [my favorite rapper] ONLY REAL nikkaS LISTEN TO HIM"

 

[Izanami]

Whites enjoy the entertainment from blacks. Sports, Music, Movies and comedy. But when it comes to supporting issues that effect blacks. They are silent and no where to be found.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

There is a difference between the people who listen and the people who support $$ wise. Wutang on a street level in their prime had tons of black consumers but that'snot the same as who supported them economically speaking. As I said countless times, you're only going to do 300,000->500,000 tops with a pred black fanbase. Once you get in the platinum range, it's because of white people. There is no popular black rapper who doesn't have a pred white audience at their concerts.
