Who has the most gentrified fan base in hip hop?

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

2pac

Global!!

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

Drake.

Edit: Oh wait you said started out black. Lil Wayne for sure. Andre 3000 next.

very good pick

Wu is the answer though. Followed by Public Enemy and then Kanye. Andre is solidly in the fourth spot.

Edit

I forgot about J Dilla


My top 5 goes

1. Wu
2. Public Enemy
3. J Dilla
4. Kanye (Ye would be higher but lets keep it 100, he's a global icon, everyone fuccs with him heavy...he's kinda transcended race )
5. Andre 3000

With Lil Wayne, Big L and Kendrick being honorable mentions. Jigga wishes he was on this list btw and Pac's definitely transcended race so that's why he can't go on this list. That man has die hard fans from honduras to ukraine.

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

J Dilla

WOW...yes

This, yes ten is times over I still enjoy Syd and Frank for the most part

 

[Metal Face]

Every major rapper has cac fans

 

[Cuban Pete]

Kanye and Wu neck and neck, Mobb Deep is up there. I'm surprised Nas fan base is still largely Black and Hispanic for some reason, Yt fans don't really go as hard for Esco like that. Kendrick lost ALOT of his Black fans, a huge part of his base are rabid Em fans that crossed over. Bone Thugs got gentrified by Mexicans and Salvadorians

 

[Kool]

Wu Tang been some white boy shyt for a long time.

 

[Goat poster]

Their base started out black but if you see who checking for their music now it's mostly white

Hate to say it but I gotta go with Wu Tang Clan or Twista

Who you got?

How you pull Twista out to this?

was he ever mainstream enough to even qualify for this accusation?

 

[hatealot]

Odd future

Feel like this isn't a case of gentrification. Feel like their fan base was always white
