    I do not agree

    There is no way to tell a black person they aren’t black, black people can disagree with each other completely and still be black because black people aren’t a monolith

    Except for when ye wasn’t black cause he was a republican, or whatever else niggas like to excommunicate each other all the time

    Skin folk ain't kin folk imo

    Culture is decided by the people - who transmit it and it usually speaks to their history to some degree - there's a a clear legacy there that people can identify

    For example soul samples in hip hop/rnb etc

    If a black person made a tape with pure Mongolian throat singing - Mongolians would recognize it as their culture (doesn't mean they have to accept this hypothetical black throat singer for various reasons)

    Black people in America and elsewhere could congratulate his succes (if the singer sees any) but it doesn't become apart of black culture/black music just cuz the singer is black - I'm not that well versed in this but I think that's how culture works

    Black people are black people this is ignorant imo

    Well it does have a negative connotation but that's just how niggas from predominantly black communities think or it just plays into the stereotypes on black psyche. That's a valid conversation but the reality is, pretty much everyone does it for something on some level.

    Khaled is from the Mecca of rap and helped build hip-hop culture. This is going to upset a lot of you, but the fact is, rap isn't black culture. It's street/hood culture. People like to call it black culture to add their own voice or just make a surface-levell statement without thinking. Rap was born in the projects with blacks and latinos and then expanded to other projects. It isn't really a black thing more than a community thing. So yeah, someone like Khaled can say some s*** like this and no1 cares because he's from the birthplace of rap and came up the way other rappers did. In fact, Khaled's comeup is more cultural to rap than Tyler's. Man ran with Terror Squad. You can be mad at his opinion or his dumb statement but it's partially true what he said

    I see what you mean, and you’re right and I understand why people view certain artist as not fully apart of the culture because of how they carry themselves or sound, but at the same time even though rap is largely street culture black people must keep possession of this genre imo, so I do think there are some things that should strictly be reserved to us, like calling niggas mysterious for example

    Yeah not nearly as progressive as they think it is

    Calling a black person not black just because you don’t agree or like them, or even if they’re a koon is just kinda supporting the idea that black people have to act a certain way.

    Like there are some black people that hate black people, are koons, are terrible people, are ignorant etc but they’re still black

    I'm sure the places you frequent love music saying "I'm already black I dont want no black b****" our people are lost is all I'll say

    he doesn’t say this in every song

  • Aug 8, 2021

    op gotta point tho, we really let an arab man play a huge role in our culture and determine who makes music that’s black enough and that’s really an issue honestly

    I mean I partially agree, but I'm not gonna pretend Khaled shouldn't be allowed to say some s*** if he really did come up and help do s***. If he was some random arab, I might agree. Likewise, I wouldn't get mad at someone who isn't black but only grew up around blacks saying some s*** when a black person says the same s*** and he only grew up around white people.

    Tyler should still be offended by what Khaled said and I honestly think that's what partially drove him to make this last album. It probably does suck just hearing anyone say you don't really make black music or sht black people wanna hear especially when you are black and probably changed a lot about yourself in the past 5-7 years. This is coming from one of his biggest haters too
