Mainstream rappers not actively speaking against it is one of the reason why it's gotten out of hand lol you really think being quiet.

How are you f***ing radical with that mindset lmfao

Yes I know and you're still policing the way Black folks address the commodification of our culture like a f***ing c**n.

like really? Black artists should stfu about cultural appropriation because we realistically can't put a stop to it? lmfao what kind of logic is that.

I'll leave you with a line from f***ing Speed Racer, baby leftist "It doesn't matter if we ever change racing, what matters is if we let it change us." now apply that same dialogue to everything we've been talking about.

Rappers are not suddenly going to become revolutionaries overnight.

Yall getting cooked

"policing the way black people express"

My message will never get to tyler the creator. Nor am I telling him to shut the f*** up about cultural apropriation. I know for a fact you can read. I am saying its only so effective for tyler the creator a horrorcore past to speak about an Ian love of music. You call me a racoon like Tyler didnt get called exactly that for a justified reason

you are also quite projecting while hating on future "glorifying d*** use" but you are okay with horrorcore. So hororcore is accepted as fictional art form but what Future does has to be the truth otherwise he is lying in his raps

I am saying speaking on cultural apropriation isnt effective they can do whatever they choose with their life.

"what matters is if we let it change us"

Ian HAS NO EFFECT ON THE RAP OR HIP HOP COMMUNITY

69 HAS NO EFFECT ON THE RAP OR HIP HOP COMMUNITY

Great music drops regardless of if they exist or not

69 in particular especially in regards to Chicago was bait to see if someone would crash out to try to kill him and get a case

Me saying "dont respondd to the bait car" dont respond to the "bait craquer" placed there by those in power for us to respond to is common sense

same way if you knock out a white woman for calling you a Nigga you getting arrested point blank period its reality even if she is in the wrong

I am saying control YOUR EMOTIONS where a 19 year old white boy that has barely existed for half your life appropriates culture because you are a grown man and you know how the system works .

If Tyler spent the interview big upping new rap artist he liked THAT ARE BLACK IT WOULDNT GET THIS COVERAGE FROM THE SAME PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD COMPLAINING ABOUT IAN

SUPPORT WHAT THE F*** YOU SUPPORT AND BIG UP WHO THE F*** YOU WANT TO BE HERE

YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

the kids got it now y’all just gonna have to realize this we did the same to the previous gen highkey

You have now spent more times b****ing about what you dont like about new school hip hop than support any one new in hip hop who is respecting the culture

attention is all about how you pair things

so IF YOU give IAN more ATTENTION THEN WHAT YOU WANT TO EXIST

THE CYCLE CONTINUES

Tyler. Never. Said. His. Name.

After thinking about this more, Tyler is dead wrong about this kid

Bro I ask for the umpteenth time @ChiraqPalestine have you watched the actual goddamn interview?

Saying his name or not is the same message he might as well have it’s actually more embarrassing that he tiptoed around it

Like who tf is Tyler to judge whether or not this kid genuinely cares about music?

Ok so you never actually saw the interview then lol

I read Ian and thought it was that guy who got accused of rape in 2016 or 17

Like niggas really should sit through the 20 minute interview before having an opinion on this lol.

Exactly

Because rappers as a whole (not just ian) seeing rap as a means to an end has killed the creativity within it.

Ktt2 is doing the same thing to ian that ktt did to lil pump and i just wanna tell yall that yall is nasty for that.

You don’t think artists like Ian or 6ix9ine have an effect on rap or hip hop? I disagree.. the more successful a rapper gets the more influential they are which can lead to more “clones” especially in this era where artist are blowin up simply because they sound like a more popular/established artist.

You could argue that they are just byproducts of the community already being infiltrated by the clones tho

That’s always been a thing though. There’s always been that archetype of the business/hustler rapper that did it as a hustle/job. The only difference is they rapped better

I think people’s real problem with Ian is it’s hard to get a read on whether he’s having a laugh or if he’s genuinely just being himself when it comes to his aesthetic

doing laundry was a busy week at work and I was annoyed enough with the fact that nigga cancelled a tour to work on an album then did this in general

cause again I had tickets to see him at lolla

i know I mountain dew it for ya

….

This what makes you a pop star?

Off topic thought i just listened to espresso for like the 1st time dawg.

In 2024 we r irrelevant

you guys still defending ian in here?
