U notice how them niggas who be calling theyself artists be saying it all the time bro trying to force a narrative or brainwash u into thinking that s***? I haven’t heard a nigga like Ross or Andre or Peggy call theyself artist unless they talking about recording artists. Niggas like travis and ye really think they a weird painter or something s*** funny and weird lol but folks eat it up so maybe they onto something

Like bro they really want suburban white acceptance that s*** so cring e to me bro

It's true but you're the wrong messenger

Damn this facts

“Im not a rapper, im a artist”

Or

“Don’t call me R&B I’m more than that”

Shut yo b**** ass up

A nigga who constantly makes s***ty attention-seeking threads complaining about other attention-seeking niggas

Inb4 the building gif

whats wrong with a music Artist calling themselves an artist

It makes people think they’re pretentious

f*** what people think, thats the point of being an artist in any medium

You shouldn’t have to say it 7/10 it’s artist who want “white” acceptance or have a larger white fanbase

Yo who has the gif where they are throwing bro avi across the city

@Sir_Swagalot

sometimes yes, but do you agree that the word "rapper" has been used by white people to lessen the artistry of black music artists

every American rapper has majority white fans

UK ones don’t?

Let's use the "I'm not a rapper I'm a artist" example

When you're a rapper but you say you're not a "rapper" and that you're an "artist" it diminishes rapping as something to avoid as if you're ashamed of it and hip-hop as a genre. You want to USE rap without giving it credit. You don't value it so you try to distance yourself while still benefiting from it. An artist should embrace what they love not try to discredit it. They take from the culture but won't give

And calling yourself something else like a "rockstar" is just a flat out lie. It reeks of trying to hard to be different when its the art that should separate you not the brand image you try to craft or a forced narrative.

Rappers ARE artists though

To say otherwise, would be to diminish the musical skills necessary to be a good rapper.

idk probably

Bro that's the heart of the art of it

They really tryna push themselves away from being “rappers” cuz of all the stigma that’s been push onto it

But this ain’t the right place to bring that up, KTT nerds the type to try to talk down on rap music and use insults like “listen to something other than rap” and bring up the Beatles or some dweeb s*** like that

@op might be the best bait account I’ve seen bruh

Done lol
