Nah I do like some white rappers, but to me Hip-Hop is about escaping struggle or pain. I understand that's not everyone's view so I'm getting different perspectives on the subject.
bro have u been living under a rock for the past 30 years? hip hop hasnt been about escaping struggle or pain for a long f***ing time now
How is that unhinged ? Buying your way into the industry is very common, whether it’s being able to afford notable features, production, studio time/equipment, co-signs, visuals, A&R meetings etc etc
Obviously the artist being marketed has to have SOME kind of it factor and it doesn’t make them bad people but OP’s point of mainstream artists rarely being self-made holds weight
his parents make signs for hospitals and s*** like that, and to top it off they only own a franchise of the company not even the company itself lol
Please tell me what your economic background has to do with your rapping ability lmao
I dont listen to Jack Harlow but im pretty sure hes not rapping about how he came from the mud or whatever
Not just about economics, it's also about struggle. Drake and Ye might be 'softer' than dust rappers but they still had unique struggles and pain growing up.
Maybe Jack had struggles that people don't see, but the way he moves doesn't represent that. And if people are moving towards an era where rap doesn't have to represent struggle anymore, then it is what it is.

This is about as wrong as op what are you talking about
op thinks this is the bare minimum a rapper’s struggles had to look like in order for them not to be a industry plant

I don’t think they have connects to music industry lol probably helped a lot with money and being able to pursue his career but doubt marketing agency from Kentucky has music industry pulls

"The way he moves doesnt represent that"
Maybe he doesn't want to
Not everyone has to put their struggles and hardships on wax lmao

do you seriously think every rapper before jack f***ing harlow had an absolutely abysmal struggle of a life?
did you see the list i posted in the previous page? and that’s just off the top of my head lol. guru is a 90s rapper from gangstarr and his dad was a judge and mom worked in the school system. idk where you think it’s suddenly changing now
wtf r u saying?
the nigga made the biggest reach of all time by saying a local sign company has connections to hollywood marketing agencies
its absolutely unhinged
People are reaching in this thread way more than I am lol
Never said they were connected to Hollywood or the deep industry, I said they had money. Even if it's a franchise, they're still CEOs, probably make at least 6 figures, and they have networks. They got his foot in the door. He put in work after that, but that's still a major advantage over kids who have nothing.
If that's the new normal, that's fine. It's the culture now. Again, I'm just seeing where people are at.
Tho fr bread don’t even matter like that, niggas runnin trains on @Jeffscornacek pockets but ain’t nobody making Cordova threads lol

they aren’t CEOs is they own a franchise of a company, they are franchisees, which are essentially employees lol
