because how else are fans suppose to pop bottles and celebrate wins when its not the person u have taken a personal liking too winning?
I reckon the conspiracy theory that white people will eventually take over hip-hop doesn't even make sense from a logical standpoint.
This implies that there weren't the uh, what you fellers call "cacs" weren't from a lesser extent, involved with it from the get go.
If they truly wanted to white wash the genre then The Beastie Boys would be looked at as The Beatles of hip-hop, which they aren't when you put them up against acts like NWA, Outkast and Wu-Tang Clan.
Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark would've had careers that surpassed the likes and legacies of Nas, Jay-Z, which they don't.
Eminem is probably the only white rapper that has had a truly impactful take on the genre (well deserved) and unfortunately, he's fukking it up for himself by releasing mediocre album after album, thus tarnishing his own legacy.
Also, remember Asher Roth? Lady Sovereignty? These two could've made an impact musically, but as soon as we enter the 2010's....not much of a peep. Yelawolf to me couldn't grab my attention like Odd Future did from 2010-2012.
Now Macklemore, again it's too early to act like he's gonna reign supreme especially when Ryan Lewis isn't going to produce his next album, but just because he won grammy awards doesn't mean shyt and to be a bit of a music snob here if you judge that an artist has merit based on grammy wins then
Iggy is essentially a replacement for Britney Spears, Christina Agulerria(?) types, I'd say. She's actually gonna get bumped out by Taylor Swift her true competition, like how Nicki somewhat did by Azelia Banks if she keeps up with the mediocrity that she keeps putting out.
While I understand the concern of culture vulturing, when you put all the known white artist doing hip-hop compared to the black, I'm sorry it's like comparing the Cleveland Browns now to the 2002-2004 New England Patriots. It's just not much of a compeition once you take the grammys out of the picture.
i understand what you are saying
but hip hip is a relatively young genre and is definitely not borderline pop culture back then as it is now
and not saying that i necessarily agree with the sentiment - but if one were to believe hip hop is being taken over, it isnt that far fetched or illogical imo
remember rock n roll, jazz, etc didnt just get "taken over" over night
