Pretty much this, although I will add that one day people really gonna have to come to terms with the fact that it’s not just young white fans that’s on this type of timing.


facts....all those black people talking about they don't like Kendrick's TPAB album, basically be on the same type of timing:scust:

We don't talk enough about that "rapping like you wanna free the slaves" Drake line is one of the most corrosive lines a "black" rapper has ever said. Lot of kids have run with that shyt and it fits into the "anti woke" mind state of a lot of people. Even when "oh you trying to kick knowledge? fukkouttahere" was a pretty common sentiment it didn't reach the depths of what we're seeing now.

I think Tyler should explain what led to his growth. There was a period of time when he would get offended if you called him a rapper and now he's pushing this deep love for hip hop shyt. He spent nearly a decade being an edgelord "new black" and now wants to pretend it never happened because Charlie Wilson is on the album. Its corny.

Also including DJ drama with Wilson and Badu as pillars of black music is kind of funny.

He's got something to talk about on his next project

What have his fans actually been saying about D'Angelo?

From what I gather it seems like a bunch of (presumably white) trolls responded to his D'Angelo tribute with "when is the next album" type shytposting. Or responding with "who" in a disparaging manner. It was probably some other vile shyt too. It looks like he deleted all the comments from the IG post.

Speaking of D'angelo, what bums me out the most about his death is he was one of the few last great black relatively young forward thinking musicians that...sounded black as hell. I love experimental, weird music as much as the next person. It's why I loved P-Funk, Outkast, MF DOOM, Digable Planets/Shabazz Palaces, Maxwell's Embyro. But all that music still sounded "black" tho, as out there as it got.

As much as I fukk with alternative r&b, sometimes I wonder if the genre itself is becoming white washed. You could make these same criticisms about The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Drake, Fka Twigs, Doja Cat, Frank Ocean, and Steve Lacy. Hip-hop & R&B for cacs that needed somewhere to go after rock completely fell off in the early 2010's.

The odd and disheartening thing to me is how heavy you can still hear the Dilla influence on a lot of noteworthy white bands/musicians who dabble in r&b or jazz (Hiatus Kaiyote, Khurangbin, BadBadNotGood, etc), whereas you rarely hear it anywhere close to mainstream black artists anymore besides a couple (Kendrick, Solange, etc).

Perhaps the success of that Folded track, alongside Burning Blue, may point to things shifting within range of a return to the roots. We'll see.
