I wouldnt mind if the appreciation was purely that and white people in overwhelmingly white areas didnt act weirdly to actual black people
Where everyone wants to say “deadass” or whatever popular black slang but when they meet an actual black person they make it known directly or indirectly u sound “different”
Well u gotta understand, black slang becomes just slang most of the time. Yea it is weird, but whites not trynna act black, they trynna act cool and end up looking like they acting black.
What sends me is when they listen to hip hop and bite the culture (sag their pants, use the slang, etc.) and are still racist
No u definitely right. There is something inherently gross with casual rap fans, kids who use hip hop to look cool.
On the flipside tho, hip hop is a lifestyle not defined by color or creed, but by what you do and who you are inside. Guys like Mac Miller or Action Bronson are white as s***, but both of them are hip hop icons.
I think this is why knowing the culture thoroughly is so important to an outsider. Even there, u can go wrong tho. The white AfAm teachers and mfs like the dude below try to understand the culture as much as they can too, but they fail so spectacularly.

Theyre ignorant of the day to day culture while trying to adopt it and letting it influence them so hard
The ones that hate on ogs might be the worst "2pac is trash", "illmatic is dust"
im white but yeah there was a white female gucci stan on ktt1 that scared the stuffing out of me
bet always been common. the one i don't get is cap. like i got a bunch of friends who don't even listen to hip hop saying cap and s*** like where are you even getting this in your vocab

Good point
Ill admit a lot of this is me trying to just adopt to living in a majority white place for the first time but the micro aggressions do happen

Not even really bout that i dont listen to tupac or biggie either
“But have you ever thought about your impact?
These white kids love that you don't give a f***
'Cause that's exactly what's expected when your skin black
They wanna see you dab, they wanna see you pop a pill
They wanna see you tatted from your face to your heels
And somewhere deep down, f*** it, I gotta keep it real
They wanna be black and think your song is how it feels
So when you turn up, you see them turnin' up too”
But nah I don't feel this, I think that they everybody just f***s with the culture cause its dope the ones that be acting funny about it and treat black people some way are the worst
Not even really bout that i dont listen to tupac or biggie either
U dont have to but if u were white u cant go into a culture and just s*** on established legends like that u dont even have to like their music l
bet always been common. the one i don't get is cap. like i got a bunch of friends who don't even listen to hip hop saying cap and s*** like where are you even getting this in your vocab
Having origins in atl where all this s*** started from makes this feeling like times two lmaoo
Just the contrast of my cousins back home and the person in front of me
White people like rap because its escapism just like a movie or a video game. They can empathize with whats in the music and understand it even if they dont do it. I think being able to love things that arnt directly a***og to your real life is important. You get different perspectives and stories.
these anti white threads always make me laugh lmao
This thread isn’t anti white lol
