BillWhite 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.
I’m pretty sure pouring up drank and robbing banks isn’t most black peoples lives either

May 19, 2020·1 replyOlivearEspecially with these new gen Black rappers that I identify with on such a personal level Cus of our shared experiences.
Like hearing rappers talk about lenox mall in atl is such a personal cultural signifier that certain people can identify with
Like what the f*** does connor know about that. Just little s*** that makes you feel at home when u play the music
Also read that carti used to work in H&M and im like damn man im 19 now trying to finesse a job at urban outfitters. Just the struggle of being a young black dude into fashion and art, trying to get fly on the cheap shopping uniqlo and h&m and trying to get girls and s***. not that white people cant be into that but i mean navigating all that from a uniquely black cultural lens and approach that i cant even fully describe.
Lowkey this insecurity started when i moved to a city thats like 80% white. I had always been around different races but usually they werent the overwhelming majority . All my life has been in black schools and neighborhoods and for the first time i dnt feel the validation from my culture in my environment you feel?
Im seeing all these Indians, whites, middle easterns repping my culture but they dnt even understand an inch of the lens and experience that their favorite rappers like travis, rocky, carti etc use in the s*** they rap about. And alot of them be saying hella casual ignorant/racist s***
Im not saying im a millionaire that f***s hoes or whatever but i mean the little specific s*** they talk about tht only an 18 yr old black guy or girl growing up in a black city w certain interests and s*** can relate to
OP must have moved to Canada or somn lol

Not saying that, there is always going to be some level of abstraction (shit half the rappers dont do what they rap bout or heavily exaggerate). Any person who makes a specific thing their identity is concerning. There will always be bad actors.
May 19, 2020Not liking white rap fans cause they relate to Carti (and Ye back in the day) trying to get girls and buying s*** from uniqlo and H&M too much is CRAZY
There's definitely times when white hip hop fans are very tone deaf in their appreciation and relating to the artist, but that ain't really an adequate example- OPMay 19, 2020shane

i wasn't about h&m he was saying he appreciates the fact that carti was in the same situation as him, a situation made more unique by the fact they're both black in a space that's more traditionally white

Tbh I think the real difference is if u live hip-hop vs if u enjoy it.
White dudes from the hood not weird for liking youngboy, but white dudes from the suburbs are. That’s not to say u can’t live hip hop if ur not dead broke, Mac Miller was well off, but his dedication to the music, among other things, meant he found a way to live what he rapped.
Most white kids who listen tho don’t know the hood, they don’t get born into the world that hip hop comes from. Again, like Mac, they can dedicate themselves to understanding and living the culture, but most of them don’t. Ask any white kid what the five pillars of hip hop are, odds are they won’t know s***.
