gnarlynastyMost black kids and kids in general just don’t pull off that rockstar style very well. Contrary to popular belief,rockstars were not dirty white boys,a lot of those dudes were fly and had a sense of style and swag. Only black guy to really pull off that rockstar aesthetic for black folks is Lenny Kravitz imo and most black people just see him as Lenny Kravitz lol.
But yeah,most black kids just get it wrong with that rockstar s***.
if you go to the dirtiest trenches of Atlanta they wearing skin tight skinnys and big shoes, rock band shirts, random piercings, the BB simon type belts coming back lol
via Wayne > Thug > his sons we took the rockstar aesthetic back
now musically its another story

I’d argue thugger pulling off that rockstar look and energy

Sep 5, 2020·2 repliesalso I tend to feel most black people who listen to acts like JPEGMAFIA are themselves people who make music so they're more acceptable to the different sonic palletes.
this is what I obverse in most of the cases. I also see myself as that case. You have another appreciation for them because you see it on the whole picture.

True, rock kinda dissolved into “indie” anyway and then rappers started doing that emo s*** too so it just all went into a melting pot
Sep 5, 2020gnarlynastyDamn,did my post come off like I was dissing black people,my bad if it did. I’m saying both white and black kids get the s*** wrong and usually become a cheap stereotype of a rockstar instead of owning it for themselves. And yes,Jimi is the foundation of what a modern day rockstar can be.
I was randomly singing Purple Haze to myself at my job the other day lol
all gucci bruh !
avi is classic btw

Sep 5, 2020·1 replyusermusic that kinda is automatically liked by the fantano's and pitchfork's and that type crowd because aesthetically and lyrically it tries very (arguably too hard) hard to be different from what is currently going in rap
IMO this only became a thing in the 2010's where trap music dominated everything so anything that was edgy or different etc. was automatically the greatest thing ever to white hip hop heads
i get what you’re saying because i have a distaste for those hipsters and purists, but listening to “different” music doesn’t make you “white” just means you like the music
s*** not hard
Sep 5, 2020Idk as a white dude I don’t have much to say on this
But sounds weak to dismiss dude’s art because it appeals to certain people

Also depends on who is an actual music-head too

He just doesnt appeal to black kids like that and definitely not to black women. Thats just the truth of it.
Now i dont know if that makes him trash (never really peeped his music btw) but yeah.

Idk man,it depends on how you rock that s*** cause the urban stores in the mall and counterfeiters selling all that skinny supposedly rockstar s***. A lot of these dudes just be wearing too small shirts and sagging skinnies where the thigh and crotch are too big lol. Were definitely re-inventing that rockstar style for the hood tho.

s*** not hard
im not saying it does
and i make beats and get tired of trap beats so im not even looking down on that mentality
but im just saying mostly its white hip hop heads who have this type of fandom
not mad @ it just observations

i listen to almost everything bc i just like looking at how different genres and types of artists set their music up
its a gift and a curse to never listen to music the same after u start making it
- Sep 5, 2020·1 replysponge bob how u know he doesn’t appeal to black women more so than other people just curious, esp. since u never listened to the music
I listened to his first tape when it came out a couple years ago nothing really after that.
I dont really see black women talking about him on social media or irl
Yes its a bit of an assumption but lets be real its probably true
- Sep 5, 2020·1 replysponge bob how u know he doesn’t appeal to black women more so than other people just curious, esp. since u never listened to the music
its hard explaining this without just showing u a black woman's reaction
but there are all types of black women which is why this thread going in circles lmao. its just like as a black person iykyk. its different "types" of black people but there's no short list u can make lol

I don’t begin to know really how to tell that for sure though, because a lot of times it’s about who’s most vocal on the Internet, and also who u know personally

An actual grown and sexy black woman not listening to no JPEGMAFIA,that’s final. I’m not trying to put his fanbase in a box like others are but the only type of black girl I can envision bumping JPEG is the type to have a full set of armpit hair.
