    Quadra do have a point about specific posters lol. No1 cares what a suburban black person has to say about racial issues because their experiences are insiginificant in comparison to someone growing up in the projects. a Gambino or Drake type wouldn't have an impact on conscious rap even if it was quality. Yall would know this, if well you know...

    Are you retárded

    Literally how lol

    Most of that type of music literally gets buried because it doesnt fit a specific sound or "trend"

    Playlists are literally barred unless they want you in, and most people that arent music savvy, aka most, dont get their music outside of marketing pushes or algorithm suggestions. Most streaming servoces suggestions dont even suggest s*** outside of what they deem is the trending sound. Which is why people get random suggestions that is opposite to what theyre listening too.

    Literally nothing i said is revolutionary & been an issue even during radio, its just a new platform now which imo is even more "controlled".

    No im not lol especially as someone that has worked at studios and see what artists go through & have to sacrifice just to appease execs & streaming.

    Wayne also insulted dark skinned BW and made fun of Emmitt Till's death at his peak.

    I'm still a Wayne stan but only for his music. Not his character.

    Drake never said half the coonish things that Wayne said throughout his career.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/05/03/emmett-till-family-lil-wayne-lyrics/2131633/

    I think you're misunderstanding my point. My only point is that as worldly as Wayne's music is when he was at his peak and the world was going through s*** he addressed it. I'm not talking about his overall character. I don't think Drake has to do anything but it's dope when the biggest and best artist venture into that sphere

    I distinctly remember when SFTB dropped how the entire internet was in an uproar about Drake being a middle classed mixed kid from Toronto and not knowing anything about true struggles. Couldn’t imagine what the reception would be if he tried to tap in to something like OP is referring to. Damned if you do damned if you don’t in this world sometimes

    All problems specifically black related in US is literally due to being black in US.

    You also cant pretend everything is all good when it isnt, especially when "fun" Rap is mostly about killing, how much money you got n cheating (not saying there is anything wrong with that in context, but just saying in contrast to "issues" rap).

    I dont think op is saying all fun or laidback rap has to be deleted tho, just that he wants a more prominent voice (smaller voices do this already) to Rap more heartfelt or more about any issues, personal or worldly.

    Which imo isnt hard to understand and is a growing sentiment in general.

    Oh brother, believe me I’m very educated on this so let me be explicit in what I mean: by “problems outside of race” I mean general human ones that don’t get uplifted. Like depression and mental health and finding yourself being relegated to “white stories.” Like movie wise, I’d love to see a black rom com. Or a black version of Garden State, etc. Our “pain” stories are usually either about slavery or police brutality. There’s so much outside of that that people rarely look to black voices/writers for

    Also, I don’t think choosing not to talk about certain issues automatically means you’re pretending everything is okay 🤷🏾‍♂️ It just means you have other things you’d like to talk about in your art
