Bruh, lets be reality.. 98 percent of these white kids and media obsessing over the music are suburban hipster types. I post on a punk/hardcore messageboard occasionally .. Mostly white people. And the thread the past 2 years has took a turn with pretty much all drill/trap music being posted..
The difference is, the glorification.
On one hand, you got a demographic that's like "this is sad, our people gotta
do better.. Let's discuss ways for improvement etc etc " on the other you got "it's just entertainment... Bang bang! 300 otf fukk the opps "
There's a poster on here, from Canada who is OBsESsEd with drill music, when he heard Rondo was in jail for murder his first reaction was like "damn..I need a new savage rapper"
The white demographic that glorifies the music are not only detached from it, but they see the lives of black people as expendable as long as they got music to bump. They don't give a shyt about black lives or the black community.
It's one thing to enjoy the music.. It's another to glorify it and be consciously disconnected to WHY the music is being made in the first place and treating it as just entertainment.. A t.v you watch with scripted characters , not real life.
That's the problem I have, is the consumers being uneducated regarding the problems that exist that create the music, which is just a symptom.
You got Complex writers that can write up a pretentious ass article on why Chief Keef is some musical genius, but can't write a we'll put together piece putting the music in context socially and educating its readers.
