Rich Arabs and Indians see themselves in Drake and French in a way that no other rappers have.
And when you consider a lot of this is based around Toronto, New York and Miami; and the representation of those groups in those cities

They get to be in rooms that blacks and whites are not welcome in, with little to no competition

These guys can move around Saudi Arabia and Dubai and that whole scene, in ways the other guys can't

Then they can circle it back to "hip hop" and popular culture where the influence and clout is

GOAT social climber

The man has no talent. Zero. None. Yet he stays in the mix because he can leverage the street and his ethnicity to reach greater heights - he plays both when it's convenient

There's a huge population of people that aren't white and aren't black, but see themselves in guys like him, Khaled and Drake - he gets to be in certain wealthy spaces because of this

I'd read a book about how he finessed his way through the industry like this
Question is...what did he do to get that position?:patrice: There's ALWAYS a price for this kinda stuff

Not true. Asap Rocky and Skepta are up there in that realm. It’s not impossible. It’s the type of music you make etc.

Ross could do this shyt if he wanted to. Look at Swizz Beatz etc.

I can’t let yall rock with this. If Chris Brown got his shyt together he’d be out with these groups too.

The Afrobeats guys dont have this problem.

Not too familiar with Skepta but Rocky career is holding on for dear life

He came up virtue-signaling to hypebeast culture and is the epitome of style-over-substance. NY needed a win and latched onto him. I don't think he knows how to make interesting music without that context

If Rocky left Rihanna, he’s got the cultural clout to bag something serious over there. music is one thing but social appeal is another.

Lets not do this.

The Weeknd is up there too.

Bruh if 21 Savage wanted to make β€œworld” music, he’d be in castles in 18 months. It’s not difficult. Guys dont wanna make that pivot.

Look at The Game. Or 50 Cent. These guys are one hit away from being in those rooms. Its choices.
