White people have officially stolen rap and hip hop history is being rewritten as we speak

As a white person I'm seeing this first hand in how some friends and family believe what they wanna believe regardless of me telling them that their facts are flat out wrong because they read some shyt on Complex or Pitchfork

Since rap is now the most mainstream music form it's been so whitened in so many ways that it'll never "be" Black music again in the sense that we'll never have another Jay or Puff.

The generation that's deciding what's "hot" in rap is 20 year old whites who have internships at Complex and for their entire lives Eminem has been "top 5" if not "the goat" rapper and they love that white rappers are becoming more successful

These kids are bigging up Post Malone and Logic as talented rappers.

I'm kind of rambling here but my point is that the white influence in rap has gotten so deep that it's only a matter of time before almost all mainstream rap acts are white. I'll expand more and with better clarity later.

And oh and we're never getting that Jay Electronica album or The Cure and both of those hurt me deeply.

Also Cam is for sure washed. Dipset is done.

So is Wu-Tang. It may still be Wu Forever but the output has been trash except for Raekwon

I see reading is not your strong suit, either. I was referring to my point within this thread on how people care about image way more than music.

Nobody feelings are hurt but yours, breh. Just give up. You clearly don’t have the knowledge to be speaking on anything R&B related, and you are mad that you got called out on it.

Again, I say, good day to you breh. Remain in your simple world.

H.E.R sucks...

  • Big KRIT and Freddie Gibbs will never blow up
  • There are no standards people will give passes as long as their trash rapper comes from their region
  • Big Boi's solo projects being overlooked
  • Most gangsta rappers are frauds or grunts at best as far as street shyt and are probably being squeezed by the gang they claim
  • Hip Hop is too welcoming and rappers will co-sign any vulture for a check. Catch me outside girl and Jake Paul wouldn't blow up or work with respected popular artists in any other genre
  • Hip Hop pushes a lot of dumb reckless shyt. My nephew walked in the house banging some shyt talking about "You gonna have to kill me for my chain" What the fukk:wtf: There are dudes who will really do it. Y'all refuse to learn this, this ain't no movie and you ain't the star.

For all of his talent, Royce will never make a classic or even great album. Death Is Certain was 14 years ago and that was a 7 at best. :francis:
:camby:

just dropped album of the year. dehh summed it up perfectly. if this album came from kendrick instead. everyone would be on his jock, casually praising him for dropping another classic.

I can’t stand to hear any new material from 97% of the nikkas that made me fall in love with this shyt in the 1st place, and I really don’t want to hear most of this new shyt either. :francis::mjcry:

Watching that New Jack Swing Apollo shyt made me feel like a geezer even though most of them was grown when I was still a kid.

I remember watching the Sinbad Summer Jam shyts back in the 90s when he would have all the acts that was poppin in the 70s up there.

nikkas sounded horrible, couldn’t dance for shyt, looked like they was fresh off the pipe, and I used to sit there like, “why do these people want to see them like this?”:what:

Watching that Apollo shyt, I was already depressed after watching SWV up there moving like somebodies grandmas, Al B. Sure making a fool of himself, and I had to turn it off completely soon as Aaron Hall opened his mouth. :snoop:

Andre 3k is never going to drop a full length album ever again. He and Big Boi will never be Outkast, ever.
Rap/Hip Hop is a lost art form, and it's too late to take it back from the whites and Jhews who infiltrated it. It's no longer a creation of black culture.

That my era is over. Drake, J Cole, Meek and Kendrick were the last artists I related to. These new nikkas too weird for me. It reminds me a bit of the 2005 to 2009 period before Drake and them came when rap was straight buffoonery and at its absolute worst. If no new cats come out in the next 3-5 years to replenish the scene then I’m done and my library will be strictly 90s and 2000s music.
