In the past 2 years, CHIMP1 has started to use the N-word in his songs. This has been a very controversial move that has led several KTT2 users to boycott his music entirely. CHIMP1's team (@Uptownflava) has defended his decision based on the fact that he is Latino, and that other white-passing Latinos like Fat Joe and Pitbull use the N-word in their songs without any controversy.
That's one thing.
More recently, CHIMP1 has been releasing promo videos for his music that are re-cut from black rappers' music videos. He's basically editing the videos so it looks like they are rapping his songs.
This is really weird to me. Obviously nobody remotely clued in to hip-hop would actually confuse CHIMP1 for DJ Paul or Bun B, but when you repeatedly use black rappers as an avatar while keeping your actual face under wraps, it reads to me like you are trying to pass yourself off as black.
Thoughts?
Did uptownflava pay you to make this thread?
It IS good promo, a lot of KTTers will probably start streaming CHIMP1's music once they learn he's blackfishing. The Yeat effect
And then uses that knockoff Bape/In My Mind monkey as his mascot and then whatever songs I have listened to from him are songs with classic samples and his voice pitched way tf up
He’s a cosplayer
There’s an oil blockade on Cuba that’s starving the country but this guy just wants to play rapper
@lightmagic re: your deleted reply, I think he takes himself relatively seriously. He might be the subject of memes on this site, but afaik he doesn't play into them, so he's not really a 'meme rapper' in the vein of Lil B
the problem with non black people saying the n word is they always let it slide when people who have NO business saying it or are fully racist say it
white passing latinos? they're all just white lmao
blond-haired blue-eyed “white-passing latinos” could trace their ancestry back to germany and spain with no mix of anyone from central/south america & still talk about “i’m not white, i’m latino”
no, you are just white while speaking spanish
remember when people tried to say yeat wasn't white cus he's 1/4th white mexican
