White Hip Hop Fans are Cringeworthy

[Don Jesus]

They either fit one of the two categories

1. Corny hipsters who spent most of the 90s watching Daria and listening to Alainis Morisette only to later stumble a bunch of old school rap in the mid to late 2000s only to then immediately start acting knowledgable about it like they lived through it's 1980s-1990s peak....or as if they grew up with it...always unintentionally exposing themselves at how new they are to the genre by saying dumb shyt like revisionist historian quotes and shyt...the ones that ride Wu Tang Clan's dikk but never cant memorize any of th individual member's B-sides or the ones who ride Big L so hard but dont know what DITC is

2. The ones that fetishize "ignorant" rappers, saying corny shyt like "Has Obama spoke on Gucci's release yet" or those cornballs who write scientific editorials on mumbling rappers acting like they're lyrical geniuses or some shyt. Its almost like they do it in a manner thats supposed to be condescending making fun of black folks but they hide their intentions so well. Not to mention those white folks who kept gassing Retch's ignorance on IG but none of them planned to help put money on his books when he finally got locked up

then you have the ones who aren't cringeworthy and actually respect and genuinely love the culture. Michael Rappaport, the white girl who helped discovered Nas, Wendy Day, etc. they're rare though

I'm actually white

But yeah a lot of white hip hop "fans"

I ain't white but you need to stop hating white people for enjoying hip hop because they are the # 1 buyers when it comes to consuming music

keep releasing your mumble or hipster rap music, and you will profit by having more money in your bank account

lack of self awareness that what someone is saying or doing isn't 'cool' for lack of a better word right now when the music and rappers themselves are supposed to epitomize 'cool'. anyone asking if hilary clinton has commented on guwop coming home is just corny, shyt isnt even funny

i feel that a lot of hardcore music 'fans' are annoying as hell though, everyone is working overtime to develop these stances and opinions about their taste like anyone gives a shyt. ideally music is helps foster connections, friendships, be fun, some shyt you can bond or joke over (or clown or argue about). instead sites like pitchfork will try to curate the genre and it's an arms race to find the next big thing before it drops so you can say you were listening to it first


EDIT: not targeting any race, just a hip hop fans in general comment

So you're making this a thing about money and not true appreciation of the culture. typical coli logic

funny thing is that most the white fans ain't even from the United States coppin the albums, our fanbase out here in the states ain't loyal. can't be mad at rappers latching onto the white demographic, they in the business to "sell" music. but if you are white and listen to hip hop, better make sure you know your shyt, that includes the originality of where it started and what it stems from.

Two years ago, I was talking to one of my pen pals from England, or somewhere in that area. She was apparently a rap fan and listened to Eminem, so because we were both Eminem fans, that was one of the things we had in common. Because when she said she liked rap, I knew damn well that she meant Jay-Z, Kanye, Drake, and that's it.

Anyway, we talked about Em and his place in hip hop. She said something along the lines of she likes Eminem's music because it makes sense and you can really understand it.

She sucked at conversation and we don't talk anymore.
