Lex with tv sets the minimum
i get angry when i hear nikkas talk about 'culture this, culture that', 'this is our culture'. you cant say its yours if you dont even fukkin control the shyt on the business end! nikkas dont own fukkin hip hop. smh
you're missing there entire point of this thread satan, it doesn't matter how many mixtapes or albums rappers put out, there is no Black ownership of the genre.
whites completely own and control hip hop in its entirety.
ignoring White artists does nothing to change the fact that white people have completely taken over hip-hop, which is what this thread is about.
culture is cool but when it's billions on the table, its a whole different animal. we gotta know how to handle business first and foremost. theres no sense in saying this is our culture when outsiders own the all the channels to provide an outlet to the culture. that means not only are they the ones own and conrol the shyt, they can cut the head off if neccesary.
these white folks out here franchising hiphop. we dont own the fukking shop, we just manage the night shift.

at the saying "whites stole rock music"..It was never "black"..Whites stole rockabilly and that's where the confusion comes in. Rockabilly definitely influenced the British invasion but white people themselves innovated to what made it popular. Please someone show me where black people in mass were making the rock music we are referring to. You can't because we weren't making it. Big Joe Turner, Chuck Berry are rockabilly artists and that's where your Elvis' come from and Carl Perkins.
New thread.
Were any of our parents at Woodstock?
In mass we weren't into that music. Hell the history of Jimi Hendrix is greatly distorted as the bulk of the audience had already left by the time he had played.
..But it's the classic tale of a black artist getting due after feeling some type of way of white people liking it. Cue the "Harlem Shake" faux outrage.
