shaneI swear some of you are brain dead and can only simplify the topic at hand to white hate when it clearly isn’t and OP verified this in his replies
He is actively in every other thread saying "ur white" when anyone forms an opinion different than his.

allredSame as if a white person says it’s weird if black people listen to The Smiths and resonate with it
Black people are human and as humans we have communal empathy
ugh

OlivearIf yr an american and live in a biggish city this probably dsnt apply to u
One thing I want to add, latinio's were part of the creation of Hip-Hop / Rap and have always lowkey been part of the culture.
No other races can say they were part of the creation other than Black African American / Caribbean and latinos

Especially with these new gen Black rappers that I identify with on such a personal level Cus of our shared experiences.
Like hearing rappers talk about lenox mall in atl is such a personal cultural signifier that certain people can identify with
Like what the f*** does connor know about that. Just little s*** that makes you feel at home when u play the music
Also read that carti used to work in H&M and im like damn man im 19 now trying to finesse a job at urban outfitters. Just the struggle of being a young black dude into fashion and art, trying to get fly on the cheap shopping uniqlo and h&m and trying to get girls and s***. not that white people cant be into that but i mean navigating all that from a uniquely black cultural lens and approach that i cant even fully describe.
Lowkey this insecurity started when i moved to a city thats like 80% white. I had always been around different races but usually they werent the overwhelming majority . All my life has been in black schools and neighborhoods and for the first time i dnt feel the validation from my culture in my environment you feel?
Im seeing all these Indians, whites, middle easterns repping my culture but they dnt even understand an inch of the lens and experience that their favorite rappers like travis, rocky, carti etc use in the s*** they rap about. And alot of them be saying hella casual ignorant/racist s***
Im not saying im a millionaire that f***s hoes or whatever but i mean the little specific s*** they talk about tht only an 18 yr old black guy or girl growing up in a black city w certain interests and s*** can relate to
weird thread lol. like white people never been to lenox mall before.

ReplicaOP must have moved to Canada or somn lol

Thats why i said if yr american white in city probably dsnt apply lmaoo

Tbh I think the real difference is if u live hip-hop vs if u enjoy it.
White dudes from the hood not weird for liking youngboy, but white dudes from the suburbs are. That’s not to say u can’t live hip hop if ur not dead broke, Mac Miller was well off, but his dedication to the music, among other things, meant he found a way to live what he rapped.
Most white kids who listen tho don’t know the hood, they don’t get born into the world that hip hop comes from. Again, like Mac, they can dedicate themselves to understanding and living the culture, but most of them don’t. Ask any white kid what the five pillars of hip hop are, odds are they won’t know s***.
when ktt1 was dumping all over mac miller for being cheesy, black dudes were bumping blue side park at train terminals

figaroooooi wasn't about h&m he was saying he appreciates the fact that carti was in the same situation as him, a situation made more unique by the fact they're both black in a space that's more traditionally white

That’s different from street rap. You know the whites listenin to nba youngboy dgaf bout no mobster or mafia.

Nigga im talking about trying to get a job in a fast fashion store bcus yr into fashion and black but broke
May 19, 2020·1 replyThis is honestly a big reason I don't really listen to hip hop like that anymore. Caught a lot of flak/judgement for that for some reason

There’s just as many black casuals who use rap as a form of social signalling as there are whites. I know a black dude who clowned me in 2014 for liking Thug and then when So Much Fun Deluxe comes out he’s like “put on young thug.” Being real or not has f*** all
to do with race. - OPMay 19, 2020·1 reply
Also this isnt just white people
Where i live it’s a lot of middle easterns, indians etc

op i think you just tend to appreciate the things in music that you can relate to more than most listeners
and when people aren't black or aren't from atlanta and whatnot, they're less and less likely to appreciate the same things as you do because they're not in the same position
but it just comes down to if the person actually appreciates and cares about hip hop, i think you gotta understand that people love hip hop and the music for different reasons than you and that's okay as long as they aren't like racist or a vulture

Yea same thing going on w 69 rn. White ass KTT saying 69s only fans are white, yet somehow the only people I know irl who actually follow the dude on ig n like his posts are black
69 mighta broken the street code, but he not an outsider in any way. When Hip Hop was started in the Bronx, Latinos were right there.

Bro u can listen to it this isnt wht the thread is about
May 19, 2020OlivearI wouldnt mind if the appreciation was purely that and white people in overwhelmingly white areas didnt act weirdly to actual black people
Where everyone wants to say “deadass” or whatever popular black slang but when they meet an actual black person they make it known directly or indirectly u sound “different”
this. I’m white / Mexican myself. But soo many dudes I known growing up would start overtly saying words like “dope” and “lit”and just cringe s*** anytime they get around anybody black, always made me feel uncomfortable when I’d witness that s***. can’t imagine being the dude observing some white kid tryna buy a pair of Jordan’s off you and obviously stuttering over himself tryna incorporate some s*** he heard in a Travis Scott song into his dialect
yes that is a specific moment that I saw happen lmao- May 19, 2020Plankton

NO CAP but I'd never listen to rap if I wasnt a street dude.
and I dont even like that tbh, I wish I had an education and a good home bumping nothing but gospel or country music.
my point is, I dont care bout others. I listen to music I CAN RELATE to the most.
