There’s definitely more to it than that when it comes to Africans and the beef with each other.

People forget a lot of Africans were from different countries that already had problems with each other and all lumped together from European colonialism. Let’s say they would pull people from different regions to police areas(basically doing the white mans dirt) and then took all these people and called them 1 country afterwards. How are people supposed to come together after both sides had raped and oppressed each other in the name of European colonialism?

In the case of the hutus they saw it as the tutsis who were propped up by the Belgians and were becoming elite ruling class and they said f*** all that and massacred the tutsis. Especially after dealing with the Belgians for 100 years

Looking at it now, the divisionism is kind of dumb and we all need to come together in our respective countries but I can understand why it happens.

i know that’s why i said generalizations against majority groups don’t really have an effect on them
i don’t really think this conversation is going anywhere lol

With the mergers of smaller radio stations into bigger companies, the music being played became more commercialized for radio, which caused Hip-Hop artist to make music for the radio and not for the listeners, which turned a lot of Hip-Hop heads away from listening to the radio. The music has become extremely formulaic. Rappers now feel that they have to sound a certain way and have certain artists featured to get radio spins. This creates a lot of artists who sound like each other.

Crazy how this sounds exactly like what we have now with streaming lol

Bro you pretend to be black ON A F***ING KANYE FORUM you have NO room to talk on a thread that resurfaced from months and months ago.

Also, if you could read the thread was just about mainstream rap, I wasn't talking down on the culture it was just stictly about the music. I never talk about rap or hip-hop culture because I know I'm a guest.

hey OP music sounds the same to all races. Believe it or not its possible for white people to enjoy same sounds as you. Some of you guys posting itt seem so out of touch with reality.

Bruh that last sentence hit me in the chest

Idc what any celebrity is saying

Evil

Somebody asked about why dead prez disappeared in another thread. This is why.

You missed the point completely

OP is right. White people need to recognize that they are a guest in the culture, and those who only listen to the music as entertainment/escapism and then complain that black people need to be silent on issues or "protest peacefully" are actively harmful to hip hop.

Not even just in Hip-Hop. Recently with the NBA too.

All the white fans were showing their true colours.

In sports and in the movie industry. Smh!

Nah y'all not about to keep throwing that word around and then get butthurt when someone does the same derogatory s*** to you.

doesnt matter u will always be a guest in our culture, remember that

R u bugging? Do you know what coon means?

I only ever use that word within context never to just mindlessly clown someone.

How you gon call someone a coon for calling someone a c***

you can say that all you want but it doesn’t affect me at all

and it doesn’t make it true

whatever helps you sleep at night though

Gen z itt

mfs weren’t even alive the same time as pac and big trying to dictate who can listen to the music

The sooner y’all realize that 99% of white people are the same whether they’re liberal or conservative, “cool” or lame, mean or nice, etc the better off you’ll be

This is f***ing cap my god

That's a real player from Mississippi State who was a running back and would..run down the field.

thank you, that cookout s*** is the most corny thing ever
