I think it'll just take an effort to keep it from being stupid as hell,

Like everybody wanting to intentionally create problems between people on here cause they're angry i think is bad but

if u make the points well and say 1., 2. and 3.... "this is why _ is a problem because "

but just like music, sports, and all that, this forum is open 2 all types of people to join (when registration is open) you don't have to be smart to be on this forum so

Yeah OP there's no arguing with the fact there are so many white consumers of black art until it challenges their privilege and then it's immediately: "stick to the music" "stick to playing ball"

i know everybody has had to have seen this: its happened so many times even white folks ITT y'all have seen either sports players or black musicians speak up on an issue and then the comments are like "unfollowed" "stick to the music" "stick to playing __"

And where do people who want to voice their concerns/observations about race in music go then? you could've ignored this thread instead you are embodying it.

that being said

Thug x Beethoven?

performative blackness is definitely an issue with white fans, unfortunately
im one of the exceptions to OP’s generalised perspective

Who was it on this site saying “when do you grow out of the hip hop phase?” F***ing idiot

Yeah I mean how can u talk about something like a kendrick album while ignoring what he says about race or things of that nature,

any heavily socially conscious artist is going to have topics that go beyond "music only"

Genuine question, why is this a problem?

I think there's a disconnect in your argument due to the failure to account for the fact that most 'fans' are like this regardless of their race or the race of the people they are 'fans' of.

Generally speaking fans are very leach like and don't view the subjects they support as people and rather simply see them as their favorite puppets or cartoon characters in the show they like.

Because of these things I think simplifying it to a race thing is a little unfair seeing as the same situation holds true in instances that don't involve a white fan black artist dynamic.

can't exactly remember who it was but it was a user that was highly respected round these parts.

Correct. Rap fans are like NPCs.

This was a thread about his disdain for the current landscape of hip hop.

If you're white you should be jumped before you can be a hip-hop fan.

O well there it is,

Niggas gotta stop thinking white ppl cool just cause they listen to the same music as you...

A lot of racist 4chan cacs are the same crackers next to you at a Travis Scott show

Like all those Ariana, Billie Eilish, Lorde, etc stans are almost undeniably worse than anything Hip Hop sees and they're all white and their fans are teenage white girls

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE

What’s new. These edgy racist teens on here love generalizing.

If I remember correctly, he was bringing up the fact of the subject matter nowadays and even though I can see that as a valid point, you can still listen to classics
If the new school isn’t your cup of tea.
