The c00ns and clowns opened the floodgates when they deemed it acceptable to give ppl like Miley Cyrus and Post Malone cosigns....:mjpls: Shyt I could probably go as far back as that cac Kid Rock. Lettin clowns like Lil Peep and Mac Miller get too comfortable in the genre (bringin in their types of fanbases)....and "yes" I throw a Mac Miller in there too...:troll:

Nggas got too comfortable pimpin out the culture for a dollar and exploiting the game. Now this is where we're at...:manny: It's only gonna continue to spiral downward too since cacs think some part of the rap culture is theirs now and they have some stake in it. History has shown us what typically happens under these circumstances....:mjpls:

Because talking shyt about a rapper is still giving them attention

They thrive off attention and attention alone

If people labeled these weirdo rappers as they are and not try to turn up to trash we wouldnt have this problem.

And no black person likes Lil.....

Cacs are signing them and cacs are listening to them. Y'all just have to accept that.

Cacs are also the biggest market of Hip-Hop. The cacs realized that they can shift dollars to artists who look like them because they don't "need us" to make this type of music anymore. The one silver-lining is that my disgust with this has allowed me to peep some dope music from artists by getting off my ass and soundcloud/googling them. :blessed:

...because they generate polarizing intrigue. Love and hate both draw clicks, listens, views, and traffic.

Intrigue from the people that eventually become their fans and intrigue from the people that will never listen to their music but be fascinated enough to hate on them.

This thread right here is about to become a thread that promotes a lot of non-black rappers that I probably would have never heard of until coming into this thread and it was started by a person who doesn't like them.

Hip Hop has been actively courting mainstream audiences for 20+ years now. Artists get celebrated for "getting that bag". Who do you think comprises the mainstream? Dudes really thought white people were going to be consumers & not participants forever? Along with that mainstream money comes the mainstream audience. Art/culture & commerce are diametrically opposed. Maintaining artistic integrity & getting money aren't partners. They never have been. They never will be.
There came a point in the late 90's where you were called corny for sounding the alarm about intentionally "crossing over". Dudes wanted their money. They got it. As well as the associated problems that come from shamelessly selling your culture outright for some Benz money.
It's childish, fantastical thinking that there would be zero cultural repercussions to not holding the integrity of your culture close to the vest. I hate to sound like one of those "pull your pants up" types, but this is of Hip Hop's own making. It was hollowed out from the inside. Not stripped away from the outside.
