Tyler literally spurred the conversation. Also why even make that concession unless u know what I said to be true

Touché that’s my b. I didn’t mean for that to come off as a personal attack towards OP or minimize what he’s saying. But it’s obvious the conversation at this very moment is being driven by that interview.

Hip hop has been dead since the advent of streaming arguably

If we are too quiet when artist are making less than a penny per stream how can we be surprised it becomes this?

When streams is how they make money not the quality of the actual content

it isn't about "damn you made a meaningful concept album that made me cry you get more money"

its about streams.

There's a bunch of artists that I think of in this regard, but Lil Mabu is the one that takes the cake. That guy is a mockery and irk-ridden to the core. Can't believe I've seen people on YouTube comments saying that he's making Hip Hop "interesting" and "bringing something unique"

Some nasty work being played

Another interesting aspect to this thing is that this Ian kid could probably clear the air pretty easily if he did some kind of candid interview where he genuinely adressed the criticisms, acknowledged his whiteness and spoke on his influences and love of the game. But hes not gonna do that cause the young (especially white) rappers don't have genuine personalities. All they do is play characters in promotional videos tryna go viral. (Also a lot of these young white rap fans do not like to hear any discussion on race thats another reason he wont do it)

Why would I have a deep discussion with people who have barely interacted with the medium of cds ?

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

the point about how niggas take popular songs / samples from the 90s or w/e and reuse it in the most lazy way is so valid

by far my least fav trend for the past couple years
