There’s different types of people in the word, regardless of race. You either got hip hop energy or you don’t. You either grew up w this s*** or u didn’t. And non blacks can still struggle in life feeling like they don’t fit in and having constant pitfalls etc . We’re all humans lmao not every white guy you’ll ever meet is some shallow c**
I think the thread title should really be "People who's only interaction with black people is through listening rap music do not know how to act appropriately in real life"
This comparison doesn't work at all because the smiths don't talk about anything that's only culturally relevant to white americans. White americans don't have a distinct culture that isn't shared by literally anyone who grew up in america unless you go back to europe
Rap culture is based around and molded by the experiences of african american youth
Yea his the smiths example only works if he had said queer culture or smth cus morrisey would sing about gay relationships and stuff like u said again white culture isnt a niche thing but black culture, queer culture etc is
And it not like i start trying to be gay cus of the smiths 💀
I get this honestly. I’m gonna get clowned for this but it’s true so f*** it.
When I listen to Bon Iver it just sounds so Midwest America to me. It makes me feel right at home. It takes everything beautiful about the landscape, the people, the climate, and puts it in audio form.
And when I hear people from California or downtown New York talk about their connection to the music, I can’t help but feel like they’re not seeing what the music actually is. There’s no way they picture the ivy climbing up the side of the barn, or the creek behind their high school sweethearts home, or the crisp evening air in the woods.
But ultimately, the fact is that music hits everyone different. I know Bon Iver is a different scenario because his lyrics are super abstract, but the same goes for hiphop. A vast majority of the listeners aren’t from where the music comes from, and that’s okay. They may not always understand the relevance of the people and places, but they’re still getting a glimpse at what home is to you. And in my mind that’s a step closer to a more empathetic world, no?
Think the main problem is when people want to just listen to the music to look cool vs wanting a glimpse into the artists life and really understanding what the music is about
Yeah i feel that. It’s a lil odd to me but doesn’t affect the way I listen to music
Think about this: why did most rappers of the early 2000s drop classic debuts but made garbage later on?
cause people could relate to their hunger and realness...who in their right mind would be hungry and real in an enviroment full of culture vultures?
and 2nd: why did most rappers of the 2010s have classic 2nd-3rd albums but not a classic debut? (drake, future, migos) cause the over saturation of the internet made them even more hungry later on
no you seriously have no clue, white people in LA dont dress like Vatos and rep gangs like Mexicans do, only blacks did that because both blacks and latinos are part of rap culture, whites are not.
You wouldn't understand the relationship because you aren't part of it. Show me a White rapper from LA acting like a Vato
"You wouldn't understand the relationship because you aren't part of it."
im sorry i dont have a f***in example of a white rapper who dresses like a vato n s***
people are molded by the primary culture of their community, someone being white doesn't prevent that if they live in a primarily hispanic community.
I think the thread title should really be "People who's only interaction with black people is through listening rap music do not know how to act appropriately in real life"
I can see tht
The white people i grew up with arent like this lol
OP right as f***, only whites getting triggered af
He’s not and he’s not saying anything new

I rarely be around white people because of where I live and where I go, but the ones I've met who like hip hop are cool.
