I wanna start off my saying that I'M NOT RACIST. My grandmother is a white woman, and I love her more than I love most things. But I have a problem with white rappers because I feel like we've seen this before. You ever notice how some white rappers are TRASH as fukk ( Not all, Em is a beast ) , and the media gives them that extra push? If any other female rapper makes that song "Fancy" by Iggy, that shyt isn't going anywhere. Anybody else makes "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore, that shyt isn't going anywhere. They get an extra push by the media and they adopt urban culture and we accept it. It isn't reciprocated though. There's no way you'll EVER see a highly successful country music star. Even artists like Justin Bieber adopt our culture, and then disrespect it. We've seen this before in a genre. Where you ask? ROCK MUSIC.

Who are these guys?

That's Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Jackie Brenston. Yet when people talk Rock N Roll history, they bring up Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Elvis, etc. These guys are never mentioned. These guys are pioneers/originators of Rock and Roll. Yet today, when we hear Rock N Roll, it's considered "white music". Now I myself don't go by that, I listen to a lot of Alternative/Rock today still. Florence & The Machine is one of my favorite bands, and Florence Welch is a ginger white bytch

but the problem with it is that somewhere along the line, it stopped being BLACK MUSIC, and then this guy showed up

and got that extra push from the white media, and the rest is history. When you ask someone who the "King Of RocK" is, they are going to reply Elvis. If you ask an average person who invented Rock, they are going to say Elvis. Remind you, Pure Untainted Rock music was around a good 25 years before he got into to it . If you turn on your TV to any Rock Awards, Watch The Grammys, or go look inside the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. 95% of the acts are white. The kids of our generation HARDLY touch Rock music. And this all happened over a 70 year span. Rock got completely white washed. It was music of blacks. Music of the struggle. Rock started off as blues. And if you looked around today, you wouldn't even think that.

One thing that people forget is how young Hip Hop/Rap is. It's such a young genre of music. Maybe a solid 30 years of true Hip Hop. People making careers out of Hip Hop. Etc. Who's to say 60 years from now, the same thing won't happen to rap? Why is it that the biggest songs (some that are terrible) are FORCED on radio to promote white artists? :yeshrug:Look how fast they get big. Look how Macklemore's TRASH album, dominated the Grammys, and won over one of the greatest Hip Hop categories, and won over a certified classic in Good Kid M.A.A.D city.
This shyt is all just history repeating itself. Rap hasn't been around that long and already you see the White Washing taking place. My biggest fear is turning on a Hip Hop Awards show in 30 years and seeing this

I think twice before I FULLY support white rappers. And it ain't because they all trash, it's because some of them aren't as good as the media tries to make them out to be. And I'm not trying to have some people who don't even fully understand out culture, rule it again. Open your eyes brehs. It can happen, it already did once, and it can happen again. I'm out this bytch

The good thing is that we have more influence now than we did back then so if we were to put our foot down collectively we could prevent that from happening to Hip Hop.

The only issue as is with all of our collective movements is the house negroes.
