I mean not really, you need both. Does Eminem not respect the art because of his joking songs? Does Kendrick not? Does cole not? the list goes on man, all of these artists have done things for attention and made less than serious songs. It's not disrespectful

nah like even if someone likes kast they didn’t become rap fans because of kast with kanye people became fans of the genre because of him and then go around trying to police it .

With pac that’s mostly people who also don’t really take part in the culture

At LP2 had some guy try to convince me “Jail” wasn’t the song with Jay Z and that it was called Heaven and Hell

Kanye literally said jail 50 times on that song

Kanye who had Camron on Late Registration

i’m gonna stop you right there. you just tried to claim Kanye out Jay Z on. you’re clearly who op was talking about.

Its always stan mode for ye fans on this site lbs

We really blaming white people on kanye now

Isn't OP describing the majority of Kanye stans on ktt?

I agree with you and OP, don't get me wrong. There is a ton of snobbery in that crowd. I'm just asking what the alternative is. Because I'm not existing in a universe where those tracks don't exist.

Like, if Drake decided, out of the blue, to make a track with Yves Tumor, are we really gonna say that's a net negative to hip-hop, just because it might bring the wrong crowd?

This isn't even my convo to be having anyway, I'm just putting thoughts out.

I said he put Talib and Jay Z on the same album stop twisting my words

Learn to read and stop projecting.

pretty much, let's be real bout this s***

Put on the dropout, as in the album

woah, he put two rappers on his album. that’s so insane, only Kanye would do something crazy like that.

Nothing to project here

Kanye never acted to boujee for rap

No it’s actually blaming Kanye for white people (non-rap infiltrators)

The issue here is the commercialization of hip-hop and that s*** started before Kanye even got here

And idk bout that I seen this from kast fans who were drawn towards stankonia/TLB, specifically 3k and became fans of the genre from such and do the same.

lol OutKast 100% brought new people into the genre, we’re just too many years removed from their time for these people to understand

The people you’re describing only know like 5 kast songs they’re not running their albums back like that

of course not, but it should be made known that lots of these fans that find hip hop through publications or critics, or cross fertilization (like bringing drake and yves together) are not going to have the best interests’ of the genre in mind

this doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t happen, but it does mean we need to realize not everyone’s opinions are as valid as the others if we’re having a serious discussion

This just an assumption

nigga when u come back to ktt

and lmao i was around they didn’t bring in people to the extent kanye did lmao that’s just false
