11 Ways Rappers Are Just Like Right-Wing Radio Hosts

They’re constantly offensive, but only make headlines for it occasionally

When rappers or radio hosts apologize for the comments, it’s easy to assume that, more than being sorry, they’re sorry they got caught. That’s because for every offensive comment that gets picked up by the mainstream media, there’s a litany of others that went unnoticed. Sure, Ross is in hot water now for lyrics about how date rape is awesome, but remember when he rapped about buying “new whips” to “trick a hundred hoes?” Really, it’s just the tip of the iceberg—kind of like how Rush Limbaugh’s recent rant about Beyoncé became water-cooler talk for its blatant sexism, but was really just the latest example of exaftly what Rush has spewed for years to loyal listeners. Take a look at Limbaugh’s long (long) history of such behavior here.

They brag about their conspicuous consumption

Jay-Z, eat your heart out. Rush Limbaugh’s $65 million estate includes five houses, a garage to house a $450,000 black Maybach, and a $56 million private plane. Big Pimpin’, indeed.

They have lots of internal beef

Forget East Coast vs. West Coast. Nicki Minaj vs. Azealia Banks? Nothing compared to the litany of internal squabbles between right-wing radio hosts. Limbaugh vs. O’Reilly. Limbaugh vs. Gingrich. Limbaugh vs. Schwarzenegger. Good luck keeping track.

They have their own language

Urban Dictionary helps the non-initiated decipher their “buggin” from their “illin.” A similar tool could be useful for conservative radio, which similarly uses its own slang terms that only its base really understands. Can you use “Crony Capitalism” in a sentence?

Their fans will forgive anything they do

Following the Sandra Fluke controversy, advertisers fled Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. Fans kept listening. The advertisers returned. And remember when Jay-Z stabbed someone? Neither do most of his fans. Let’s not even discuss the “he can beat me any time” defense offered by the tween and teen fans of sometimes rapper Chris Brown.

They defend their right to be offensive

Any time a radio host is blasted for offensive comments, the free-speech argument is quickly volleyed as defense. When MSNBC and CBS dropped Don Imus in 2007 over his “nappy-headed hos” comments, a rally cry over Imus’s First Amendment rights emerged. Sure, they’re sometimes fired or suspended for what they say—but damned if they don’t think they should be able to say it, and have their corporate backers stand behind them. “You can’t even have a fukking thought, you can’t mentally massage something on air without being suspended or fired,” Radio host Troi Torain, better known as Star from the Star & Bucwild show, tells The Daily Beast. Star has his own history of controversy—having been fired as the high-profile morning host at both New York hiphop stations for outrageous comments. “That’s due to pressure groups, political jargon that should not affect art. Rick Ross is an artist, whether you like or not,” Torain, who now appears online at Shot97.com, and also shows up on the new VH1 reality show, Gossip Game. “I was raised on [Don] Rickles. [Richard] Pryor. [Lenny] Bruce. By today’s standards those guys would not even be given a chance to fukking get off the ground.”

Well when we present ourselves as something different, and gravitate toward something different, they will perceive us differently... (str8 from my business plan)

I tell people this at least once a month. I can't go anywhere without seeing at least one group of ignorant nikkas, and unfortunately most of us get classified as those type of people

That article is way too focused on how "offensive" everything is. It's ok for people to be offended, it's annoying how you can't say this, you can't do that cause someone might get offended. It's better if people just say what they wanna say so everyone knows who everyone really is.

No they won't, all of these stereotypes
are age old stereotypes.

From being thought of as pimps, hustlers and drug dealers
to lazy ignorant's.

Just look up the history of this country, before there
was even a Hip Hop or the sub-genre "Gangsta Rap"
all of these stereotypes existed and were often
used by whites for entertainment.

With that said the article is bullsh1t there is a world of difference
between the average Hip Hop artist and a"Right Wing Radio Host".

I never said there wasnt a difference. But when you give world star hip hop 3 million unique views a month instead of reading a news article every morning, you fuel all those stereotypes. When you have videos of things as silly as pregnant women fighting or school lunch room brawls... All the way to a kid being beaten to death with a 4x4 getting millions of view for entertainment. Then how do you not expect to be seen as that to people all around the world.

Your delusional if you think that ignorance in our community doesnt exist. Your delusional to think that the steroetypes dont come from some fact.

Its like the #dontbullymybreed arguement. Bruh, Nobody else kills babies and shyt but pit bulls. What is your arguement.

Crack and the violence that comes from it, and even the entertainment that arose from it (hiphop), is almost exclusive to our community Because they designed it to be that way. and regardless of whether you like it or not, the stereotypes come along with it.

If you would like to rid the world of negative stereotypes of your culture, then present the actual genius of your culture to the world everyday and promote that. Dont promote rappers going to jail and nikkas fighting for Page visits.

Present something else.

I never said there wasn't ignorance in the black community.

I'm just saying racists will be racists regardless of how
we're represented in the media.


There are millions of Black people in America, if you feel
that the few you see on youtube and in other forms
of entertainment represents the majority of "Us" then
you have a skewed perception of blacks yourself and likely
have a low opinion of them similar to other "black" members
on this board.

fukk how white america views rap

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

The thing is hip hop and the fans allowed stuff like this to happen. The most trending rappers online, radio, sales etc for the most part embody what he's saying. This cac doesn't seem really knowledgeable about the genre, but this is basically how rap is presented to the outsiders.

Acting like the rappers that get the most publicity doesn't rhyme about mindless stuff using basic rhymes. If anyone not familliar with rap see rappers like Trinidad James, Chief Keef or even Wayne being among the most trending out, can you blame him if he tries to discredit rap ?

Don't give me that rap is deeper and more varied than those 10-15 rappers BS, because I know it is or else I wouldn't be fukking with the genre at all, when the same rappers gets talked about here day in and day out. Let's be honest, a thread about Trinidad James draws has more chance of being plat than one about PackFM or Binary Star.

The thing I don't get is why would he speak about a subject he seems ignorant about. I don't know shyt about Country & Metal, so I'm not making an ass out of myself talking about them and shyt. But being honest, this is how the average person who isn't fan of the genre view rappers cause we or the corporations allowed this to happen. I'm not saying to censor or boycott any rapper and I support their rights rapping about any shyt they want, but it is the vitrine of rap for those who don't know much about it
