That ageism s*** weird to me but maybe it’s because I’m approaching 30 lol but I just never looked at it like that. I remember my brother at 26 tellin me at 20-21 that he felt like he couldn’t relate to the new era of rap (early SoundCloud wave at that time) and I thought he was crazy like nigga you ain’t even old.

And now I got niggas callin me unc in IG comments

we old heads gang

thats how I approach the Ian situation. like this s*** got nothing to do with us

we saw limewire

we burned cds

some of these kids have genuinely NEVER HELD A CD

like stop and think about that

we used to have to go to best buy or target to get music

SOME OF THESE PEOPLE LEADING TO AN ARTIST TOPPING BILLBOARD HAVE NEVER HELD A CD

some of them have never downloaded itunes and just use apple music

some of them have never received an itunes gift card for christmas

thats why before I get into any ian debate I make clear we lived in a different time

you gave it to us real raw rugged

lol okay I can live wit it honestly you know how it is where niggas co e from. I lost and know a lot of folks who lost friends and fam when they were yns. I’m happy to to grow old.. but damn a nigga can’t get an opinion off?

S*** is scary.

thats why when y'all get all "this s*** different" I need some to grasp how different it is and how it will never be the same

oh yeah I think get it off but recognize that we have no control over ANYTHING

We dont have bargaining power either. Everyone who thinks Ian is a disgrace to music could all leave all streaming services and go local files only and apple would laugh

great video
you are correct

I love this lil nigga man

bars only

Yeah I feel you. I personally don’t give a f*** about his music or whether he makes music or not. He not the first white boy to do this s*** lol but I’m here for niggas callin it out. I think the real microscope should be on the labels and team behind him

I'm just saying if "the music is good tho" is a loophole they're gonna use it on everyone

@insertcoolnamehere

aight so i feel like maybe the discourse i was involved in sort of led to this so ill say what i truly believe

its way easier for white rappers to blow up. we saw it with yeat, we saw it with ian, nettspend. its f***ed up that people who arent from the culture that hip hop was created from are able to surpass their black peers without putting in the work

that being said, i dont think the blame falls on the white artist. it falls on the industry, the white community, and the black artists who work with these dudes just because theyre popular. ideally the playing field is equal and white artists who are very talented get evaluated in an unbiased way. but thats not the situation. so i get why yall are mad about this.

i personally dont hate ian, but i do think the game needs to find a way to support black artists better

edit: i want to add i spoke way too crazy about this. i shoulda thought deeper before commenting. i dont rly fw yall still cus yall threw me to the lions and im not dumb enough to think it wont happen again. but i respect yalls opinion

septembers rich was bullied out of existence by yeat fans for dumb reasons. sept is black, yeat is white. the fans are the problem. not yeat, yeat tried to help him as long as he could. but the sad reality is theres a lot of white people who are racist without even knowing it. that issue is FAR bigger than yeat or ian and those artists shouldnt take the brunt of the hate for something that is ultimately outside of their control

Best lil dude out

Video is too real hip hop is in a sad state rn

All black. All great artists. Yall jus gotta tap in

Rap died in 2018 for me and i finally moved on two years ago, unfortunately

The game got way too indifferent about the artform

I like this type of music but let’s be real man, none of these niggas hold a candle to actual goat tier rappers.
