it basically is, but no one in here wants to admit it

bell curve elitists gonna end up alone at the party

it is what it is

Because they appeal to almost exclusively to white people

is anyone in here going to explain why?

It's not when white folks legit parrot that s*** as legit criticisms

I saw a comment in here that said black people don't like "The Love Below"

Ktt really crazy

Jokes on them, I'm already scared of the hoes.

Then laugh at them and tear them down

this d***riding on another level. he tried to mimic drake's taste in music

Nope, they will keep dodging the question because they aren’t making any sense

Depends. Art hoes like MF Doom fr ive seen it

KTT been on their mainstream rap is better wave for a minute cant be surprised anymore

Going here for legitimate music discussion these days is a waste of time

Facts. He somehow beat the white people music allegations just cause he had a cash carti phase

When the boys drop pregnant p**** on the aux in secret at a party everybody stops what they're doin

Can anyone explain how this stereotype is not a real thing?

That style of music just isn’t appealing to the average black listener in the USA. That doesn’t make it worse or better though

Is it cause fantano?

black people have always made “experimental” music, out existance demands that we are constantly reinventing ourselves and everything around us

i think that kinda music gets called yt ppl music for so many reasons that i can’t even get into it rn or else i’ll give myself a headache, but basically i think it’s bc

if we’re talking modern right, i think yt artists have to “do more” to craft a sense of individuality, hence some ppl see some music as weird for the sake of being weird / different.

if to be black in america still technically is a deviation of the “cultural standard”, then it’s much easier for critics to homogenize / lump black artists together, while still highlighting their individuality. idk if i’m making sense or wording this the right way.

i think it has a lot to do with the racialization of genre tho more than anything

Some people don’t f*** to music though.

Like me for example.

Sometimes I wanna hear the crickets.

Idk this would get into a cultural/racial discussion of what black people listen to VS white people. Then that would exclude a lot of people out of that convo including myself

I mean yea I guess I see what what you mean, but tbh I feel like a lot of us in black community don’t give certain music a fair chance because of the “white boy” stigma that comes with it

And it’s just wild how a white dude can blast trap music loud af and no one really gives it much attention, but a black dude listening to alternative or something is def going to cause him to get stuck with labels

It just really sucks that black people are the only ones that gotta deal with something like that

he cooked u twice in this thread. take a deep breath and come back later
