The Caucasian Invasion of Hip Hop is disgusting and needs to be addressed

[DaveyDave]

so what does that mean hes double white?

no it just means he's a white albino, NO pigment in his skin or hair at all.

White people and Jews have been there from the beginning as far as putting it on wax and buying it, they just weren't rapping.

I'll tell what is strange, though; you get a lot of Black people hyping up below average rappers who are Black, yet crapping on White rappers who are above average. They've dropped the bar so low for Black rappers to be accepted, but raised it so high for White ones to be accepted.

Doing that only leads to one outcome: sooner or later, you'll get Black mainstream rappers who are wack and White mainstream rappers who are dope. Because the Black ones no longer have to fight for respect. And that'll be all it takes for Black rappers to be looked at as if they've fallen off.

Another scenario is the one happening right now; again, lowering the bar of lyricism for Black rappers who receive praise and sales leads to White rappers who aren't good lyricists to also prevail. And when there're enough White mainstream rappers for Whites to identify with, who do you think is gonna eat more?

But alas, there's no point in caring. If an MC is dope, he's dope.

I'm white and I agree. White people should only be buying Hip Hop and leave the rapping to the originators.
I also dislike people rapping in other languages than english, nobody wants to hear people mumbling in French and Dutch is even worse.

A certain populace of white people don't like white rappers . . these are usually the ones who have symptoms of self-hate ranging from making a black player whenever in Madden create-a-player mode to full interracial porn fetishes where white woman get gangbanged

Also white rappers tend to dislike other white rappers but we don't even dislike white rappers. Just the ones that try to go over our heads like their intricate vocabulary has any musical merit

Ya we do steal alot of shyt its true. Not Rock and Roll though..
Both black and white artists were really just playing electrified blues in the fifties imo..

real rock started in the sixties

YES. Rock n Roll. Go back before that and research. There is widespread information out there available. It really was a deep issue. Soul music, blues, jazz. Look where it originated. Similar thing. Black artists playing certain kinds of music and not allowed in the door.

In the 60's? Sheeit, look how many album covers got whitewashed, just so the public wouldn't be scared to buy it. There's deep racial issues in this county that never been confronted, just brushed over. That's why they stay problems and HISTORY REPEATS itself.

Some of what you said is true. Go buy a book called "The Big Payback" by Dan Charnas. It details the racism and uphill climb that BLACK artists and producers had to go through to get respect in the 80's to bring this HipHop thing to the forefront.

The fact that a Macklemore can come out and bypass the original audience this culture emanated from is a HUGE slap in the face.

 

[Art Barr]

Culture does NOT = religion.


You didn't go to college did you?

Besides, white rappers have been around AND COSIGNED forever to a degree.


Even Brian Austin Green was spittin back in the mid-90's getting co-signed by The Pharcyde

Brian Austin Green- You Send Me

Green on no day was able to masquerade as a culturally relevant mainstay or even via association.
this actually ruined pharcyde's permeation.
Which caused the fat lip later disses to have authenticity and traction.
That further lead to the dead sellout draw of the pharcyde as well.

I avoid macklemore at all costs, and being that my experience with hip hop is not through viacom, I've been relatively successful at not listening to his music.

With that being said, I asked this before and nobody really gave me much of an answer, but who's blacklemoore?



Look at his contemporaries, i don't really keep up with charts or radio or MTV so maybe i would be off by saying kendrick lamar?...do they make similar music? What black artist is doing anti-materialism, LBGT community friendly rap? I don't know enough about dude to know if his subject matter is really that centered around those two subjects so correct me if he's not "that" guy.

The only black artist i can think even remotely similar is lil b, he's "positive", silly enough to put on goofy shyt and be flamboyant and has a following in that same hipster/hypebeast lane. The problem is there is a clear gap in skill level between him and macklemore.

What black artist could we swap him out with that could tap into that niche market?

Unless there is someone you can think of that we could plug in there besides lil b, i really don't see how his success in particular is such a huge slap in the face.

At best, he's the next "eminem", IE. the only white mainstream rapper with any pull due to him filling that void, at worst he's vanilla ice and will in 2-3 years after he stops being able to re-up on this forumula.

Yall can chill with all this Y2K, threat level midnight bullshyt. Talmbout 20 years from now when white folks will probably be the minority by then.

What you nikkas should be doing is thanking god that mexicans suck at rap.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

So far I count 6 white dudes mad enough to reveal themselves. I see what TS is doing.

LOL No one is mad and it is no secret I am white/mexican. I am sorry if what I typed was facts.

Theres been white rappers since the Beastie Boys came onto the scene, you guys just couldn't get to them in two clicks like you can now.

This was also in heavy rotation at around the same time...


N2Deep - Back 2 The Hotel

I haven't heard this song in forever.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

double

 

[daze23]

I always get the p*ssy cause I tell em that I'm spanish

 

[blackslash]

Ive never heard a single macklemore song in my life



And i refuse to ever listen to one

 

[GetInTheTruck]

As a non-black/non-white individual, I have to say I agree with the OP.

It's a joke at this point. Not saying a white rapper can't be nice, I'm just really not interested in what they have to say

All this "hip-hop doesn't belong to one race exclusively" is bullshyt. hip-hop is first and foremost a black art-form that came from urban black communities. Back in the early to mid 90's whiteboys who were listening to rap were a fukking RARITY, so where did all these dudes pop up from all of a sudden? that's what I wanna know.

and @ the idea of Brian austin green "spitting," fukk outta here, some of you dudes are fukking hilarious.

 

[Ezikill]

Aside from the issue that a white rapper like Macklemore will automatically crossover and reach a wider audience, the other problem is that a wack cac rapper will get an industry push and funding i.e dat Iggy Azzlea bish
only reason we ever heard about her is cuz of her skin colour, her mic skills don't warrant the amount of promotion she's received and this i think was part of scarface's point

 

[Nintendough]

Macklemore really has cats furious. Having 10 page group therapy sessions instead of just turning the channel.
