When a white hip hop head doesn’t listen to RNB is that a red flag?

[Sonic Boom of the South]

you don't give white people hints on what they're doing wrong that's preventing them from blending into the culture...white people read thecoli, if it's unnatural to them, let's keep it that way, have them stay clueless

Most this board some crackas.

Huge red flag

One of the reason I never respected Rosenberg

Any time they discuss samples in rap music Cipha Sounds would have to educate him on the original song. He never knows any black music that isn't rap.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

op has a point, especially 90’s r&b.

Really not thinking about white hip hop heads

 

[malbaker86]

It’s absolutely is means they usually on Stan a few rappers and aren’t really hip hop heads

This. Like if they cant name 3 Mary J Blige songs, IMMEDIATE side eye

 

[Jasonmask]

Like the one poster said there are some hip hop elitist who only like the most street records but it’s expected I don’t expect them to know about rb let alone soul music nor should they understand it

 

[Harry B]

Define RnB.

I know a lot of people that love that Motown sound but could never see them listen to 90s to today people. Like Sza, Party, snd Kehlani are completely different genres from 70s and 60s people

 

[Harry B]

And no. If you know your hiphop, you know your hiphop. Doesn’t matter if you enjoy the underlying jazz, RnB, disco, ska or rock connections

Its a lot of Hip Hop heads that never liked R&B and cringed at any Hip Hop that had a remotely R&B influenced/inspired sound. I mostly encountered this on forums in the '00's. Anything that wasn't grimey sounding was frowned on. It was a shocker to me that people hated songs like "If I Ruled The World" and Biggie songs that featured singing on the hooks.

I mean the Wu-Tang Clan kicked off the second disc of Wu-Tang Forever with an entire rant about "Rap & Bullshyt," even after Method Man got the Wu's biggest hit off that exact type of shyt That anti-pop, r&b sentiment was heavy in early-mid 90's hip-hop.

Breh I remember when Kendrick dropped “i” and this fool got out there talking about Kendrick was going pop cause he didnt know the Isley Bros sample

 

[BK The Great]

I listen to soul & R&B and oldies. It’s good to broaden your taste with other genres. Even some Reggae.

 

[Pure Water]

shyt, any hip hop head that don't listen to and/or grow up with R&B is sus to me.

 

[mbewane]

For a 90s breh like myself listening to HH but not to RNB made no sense. Just for all the remixes, featurings etc of rappers on rnb tracks. Now I'm so to be fair I don't know if that connection is as strong now as it was then.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

frank ocean and brent faiyaz are usually the extent of r&b that those types listen to
