I just found out who Adam22 was the other day. Who let this swagless cac get power in the industry
Why so many non blacks getting approval in hip-hop right now?

All truth on the 1st page alone...
People may not like it, but a lot of hip-hop only has itself to blame. It was all good when the only thing that mattered was who gettin' money. But now that it ain't just us gettin' the money, we look around and say 'why did this happen?' It's whatever to me, I still don't think they're about to take it over or any of that shyt... but it ain't a shock that there's more non-black artists. There's been so many non-black fans of the music for YEARS, and the artist-to-fan ratio has been closing in ever since it became easier for fans to become rappers, so it was bound to play out like this. And nobody ever cares about shyt like this until it gets too bad, so the worst of it will be yet to come.

Yall do realize that there are more non-black people consuming/making rap music than there are "black" ones? There goes your answer.

Because y'all kept downplaying shyt like To Pimp a Butterfly and hyped up music that is easy to replicate
This is like Pistol Pete Maravich in the NBA. nikkas always had that swag so it's not a big deal when you see it. When a non black come in and exhibit the same swag, he's put on a pedestal.
There are some that were just good regardless of swag, like Larry Bird and Eminem. The rest get love because we show them love cuz our swag being acknowledged by the European Americans.

All they need is a few dumb Blacks who welcome any and everybody into the culture.
That's my main gripe with our people. We too fukkin welcoming.
We need to be how white ppl are when it comes to NASCAR. See how rare it is for Blacks to even get their foot in the door there?

I give Post Malone a pass for making White Iverson and Russ for making Losin' Control
On some real shyt, if u dope, u dope.
Problem is, a lotta these dudes ain't dope, whether they Black or white. The bar has been lowered so much

does not get any more clearer than this.
@NvrCMyNut said it... there was a time we wanted hip-hop to go big and be on the pedestal and basically take over the world... well, this is the trade-off. When it started really, really takin' over everything, it was bound to result in companies using it to sell their products. It was bound to produce entirely too many gotdamn rappers, many of whom were trash. It was bound to produce subpar music that would then become the simple and easy formula to make more money. It was bound to attract more people than just "the hood", so naturally the people who were fans were gonna start participating as well. It's one of those things we just gotta 
about, as wrong as it seems. Just like kids grew up in the hood inspired by the music, so have kids who ain't ever seen a part of the hood. There's people in other countries who don't even speak English but love this shyt. Hip-hop was (and in a way still is) an incredible thing- shouldn't be anyone's surprise that everybody was gonna want a piece of it once they experienced it. For better or worse.
