it's ok to say in plain english that Ye appeals to yt ppl
Every "big" rapper appeals to white people.
The amount of rappers that this statement could apply to lol.
Hip hop becoming more commerical is what cause what ur saying in that post
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
no it’s just annoying
OP is right Kanye led Drake to become a rapper and the world still hasn't recovered from it
The amount of rappers that this statement could apply to lol.

having huge stan based that dont listen to other rappers really only applied to eminem. Kanye is a reach imo
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
one of the dumbest posts i’ve ever seen on this website
White people getting mad because op combating their flawed ideals on a genre that our people created and not letting black artists place their worth in their opinion
I think OP is mistaking hipsters and music critics/elitists for the general White population.
Pre-MAGA Ye was more polarizing to White people than probably any rapper in history besides Tupac when he was still living.
In fact, it was Ye's talent that kept him relevant all of these years despite all of these controversies.
I’m not talking about old soccer mom white peoples, they are obviously irrelevant to this conversation and are obviously going to hate someone like Kanye
It’s these young “post racial” white hipsters who are a large commercial force in music who were primarily listening to s*** like Vampire Weekend prior to MBDTF who started acting like hip hop aficionados

You’re the like 4th person itt saying this so start putting names on that
he elevated hip hop to high art, and simultaneously brought in hipsters
it isn’t his fault, but yeah
i don’t think it’s rly wrong, but sometimes the ignorance shows
Honestly I really didn't what to do with what OP wrote but HOLY F*** this dude is exactly the kind of guy OP was talking about
Ye’s fanbase is just as bad as Lil Pump’s & Famous Dex’s fanbases with the culture vultures
kanye basically did what people criticize eminem for: bring non-rap fans into hip-hop discussions. His stanbase is toxic, destructive, and harmful to rap. Same thing can be said for kendrick stans too. Drake stans kinda
White people getting mad because op combating their flawed ideals on a genre that our people created and not letting black artists place their worth in their opinion
What type of flawed s*** are white people even saying about rap?
What are they misconstruing?
Is it just like when they shun a musician for being a certain image type stuff?

this as well
Kanye is one of the primary hip hop artists of the 2010s who it was “okay” for non hip hop listeners to listen to
By that I mean, he brought in a lot of people who previously never cared for or paid attention to hip hop because publications such as pitchfork deemed him “one of the good ones”. By working with people like Bon Iver he was able to cross over into and get respect from the indie rock fanbase. The result of this is it ushered in a lot of people who previously never cared about rap having very loud and very incorrect opinions that talk down on all other hip hop as not being “artistic” or “experimental” enough, despite never having really studied the genre like that
People like to talk about how Em is the primary rapper for people who don’t listen to rap, and that’s no untrue, but Kanye’s music also represents the same thing, but to a different, more hipster - and arguably just as racist - demographic. Both fanbases are harmful to and ignorant of the culture. This is not Kanye’s fault it just is what it is.
This is actually bullshit , Kanye actually respects rap and all his fans do to he’s not Tyler
