Why doesn't Hip Hop "Influence" White People?

[Will Ross]

It does influence them

Now we gotta pretend like 90% of this "slide for von" shyt wasn't coming from white boys on social media.

It does impact white people, it further cements the idea that Black people are not human beings, they literally beg rappers to murder each other and then go home to their safe lives, this shyt is entertainment for them because they find Black death and dysfunction to be entertaining.

Whether embellished by rappers or not our experiences are closer to the stories told in hip-hop then theirs.

If White People are 70% of the listeners of Hip Hop, it stands to reason they should be feeling the biggest effects of the alleged negative effects like crime, misogyny, and ratchet behavior that listening to Hip Hop causes. How has the life of White People been impacted since they jumped on the Hip Hop bandwagon?

It does influence them as well, but the impact is lower for a lot of reasons.

It influences them to feel superior

Why can’t we admit it’s toxic?

 

[Who Not How]

The amount of White people listening to rap consistently or as the only genre they prefer and the amount of White people living in this country are worlds apart in population. Certain influences won't catch on unless a large amount of White people indulged in the culture. The mainstream White culture ain't Hip Hop at all, they have their own celebs and athletes that the guys wanna be and the girls want to be with. So something like drill music is a guilty pleasure to a White guy, a genre of music they might have to log on Reddit to discuss with others because no one else in their community is interested in it like that.

Now how many Black people are in this country and how many of them listen to rap music on a daily or weekly basis as their #1 preference. How many young Black men only listen to rap?

Then we gotta break down the ages cuz your age plays a big part in being influenced by anything. A 50 year old middle class White dude in NY who has a Wu Tang playlist for the gym is much different than a 14 year old lower class Black kid from Seattle who knows all the gangs in the Raq due to his drill playlist for just general listening purposes.

They get influenced

To max out their credit cards on Wu-tang merch

Guess I am the only one who noticed the rise of them popping pills more when Eminem was rapping about it

There are entire subreddits dedicated to Chi-Raq as well as crackers like Adam 22 out there, don't get me started on the demographics of HHT
