ktt only abt 1/3 white tbh

believe it or not lol

Kanye appeals to tons of Black people too.

His first 3 albums and WTT got TONS of play in my hood.

OP does have a point but I thought this was kinda accepted after the Ye vs 50 bet for Graduation

Those are the worst type of people. They usually go "that's all I need to listen to"

I’m assuming you’re getting defensive about this cuz you’re white and this post hits home for you a bit too much

I’m not saying every white Kanye stan is racist, If it don’t apply let it fly. Your defensiveness is telling tho

Exactly. The Wu Tang clan sells out shows and stadiums all over the world.

Niggas really think White rap fans under the age of 27 are the only fans of the genre lol.

You guys can't ping-pong between wanting hip-hop to be successful and evolving but also having a strict interpretation of what hip-hop should be, sound like, and move towards.

Not saying you aren't making sense, but what do you guys really want then? Was Kanye not supposed to make MBDTF? Or 808's? Or Yeezus? Just keep making The College Dropout until he went into obscurity?

It’s really not ye fault more so publications, audience and critics

Hipsters don't listen to Drake lol

Why "under the age of 27"

OP's point is kinda invalid though because Kanye never distanced himself from his urban audience until JIK.

Even Yeezus is influenced hy Chicago House and had a song called New Slaves.

Plus, Kanye got vilified for the VMA moment, triggered White people with other public comments, etc. when other rappers were keeping their head low.

Also, 50 in his prime had a much bigger White audience than Kanye both in America and overseas.

Nah you right @op but that goes for everyone mentioned in the Control verse

racism is not a this or that side of the fence concept

the people @op speaks of can have racist sentiments, opinions, taste etc etc without ever openly seeming racist to the naked eye... yet their ignorance & perspective can still very much be problematic and very much speaks volumes given the system that breeds them

we see this s*** so much, please don't tell me youre blind to it

also your tunnel vision perspective makes you the f***ing idiot lol

where in OP’s post did he say hip hop is supposed to sound a certain way?

op so controversial so brave

I felt this way about Tyler fans. Back when he started

I just mean that White kids and young adults aren't the only rap fans that matter. There's tons of White rap fans 30 and older that are bigger fans of hip hop pre-Kanye.

the point is that kanye fans tend to be these hipsters that are snobs to anything that isn’t “out of the box” or “experimental”

this throws dirt on literally tons of fantastic albums that have came out in the genre just because it doesn’t sound edgy or different enough to fit their pretentious taste’s sensibilities

my presence makes these hip hop nerds uncomfortable

ur describing Eminem

no one has inadvertently negatively impacted hip hop as bad as eminem did

still to this day, like his fans were complaining about dj drama tags lmao

Any popular rapper brings a lot of white ppl in lol

U cant become popular fr if u dont appeal to white people to some extent

Where is donda
