Music is supposed to be fun or else people wouldn’t do it. Everyone should equally enjoy music. Black people don’t own music so why put merit behind something like that? It’s like saying did Lil Nas X care about country music when he made old town road? Absolutely not

Obv it’s a case by case basis but I get what you’re saying. There should be an appreciation for the people when you’re consuming music that speaks to the issues on such a deep and intimate level.

Unfortunately, a lot of people (especially white people, ESPECIALLY especially white men) are very consumed by their own selves and only ‘care’ when it offers some sort of tangible or societal benefit to them.
i.e. Main Character Syndrome

The minute something is no longer serving their interests, they no longer care.

This is why you could have a white boy singing along to the most empowering music about black issues, then go home and call people the n-word on XBox Live. It benefits him socially irl to listen to this music that’s trending and forward, but it benefits him in the gaming world of heathens to act edgy and careless.

A lot of folks don’t have values of their own.

Staying in your own bubble is a great way to protect your peace

Absolutely.

let me just make a sweeping generalization about every person belonging to a race rq

there's a lot of them on this website

music doesn't have to be "fun" when that fun involves people making disrespectful memes and racist jokes about artists who put in an immense amount of time and effort behind their work

music should be fun, but it should be respected first

White hip hop heads been sucking since the “mumble rap as a pejorative era” of 2016, abs got worse when gunna and lil baby got more popular along with Carti and young thug clones…getting the “clone” argument thrown around heavy which , like the mumble rap label, kinda seemed to be dismissive

It’s like when I heard ppl saying they can’t tell the difference between gunna and thug and lil baby and lil gotit and keed (rip)

I think post Malone being big doesn’t help for whatever reason

Nope. That’s why they gas up pieces of s*** who have racist pasts like Joji

What lol

U like skillibeng?

I mean, I do, you can read my s*** in life/politics sxn to know I'm consistent about it, but I'm not trying to speak for a whole race full of people who were raised wrong.

I'd say most people, regardless of race but perhaps privileged groups in particular, don't really care about other people like that and mostly just enjoy things in the moment without thinking about how they relate to it or why it's significant. They know what's in their bubble and rarely branch outside of it.

op really cooked their asses

Idk why don toliver insured this thread cause his fans are the same

Are you white

Whose that? No I’m just saying nobody owns hiphop and statements like @op sounds like entitlement of hiphop which in turn divides things even more. Can we be grateful that people who we are fans of even get noticed? Who cares that 2 people who don’t make the same type of music are compared? Did it hurt anyone’s pockets or sleep schedule?

It had potential to be catchy with the hook, but I wasn’t feeling it past that.

most of the people you listed within that stereotype are black so yeah

“Earl sweatshirt > Don toliver” :jordanlaff3:

The lure absurdity of this comparison

And to answer your question, no.

A lot of white people just view all of rap as pure entertainment, and don’t care about black people at all, even in a political way.

i hear great pain emanating from within you

@op top artist is Tyler

is your point that there's irony in white people who listen to "conscious" music and don't practice it at all? Of course. Look at white liberalism, the issue is far wider than the music they listen to.

This is a white person issue, you'll find white listeners of any subgenre of rap be insensitive/outright racist. Others pointed out how white fans of drill music love antagonizing the "street" aspect of it while living in a gated community

It's easy to target one audience but if we're gunna have this discussion let's have the full discussion, not get triggered over a tweet saying "Earl > Don Toliver"

Nah but I deadass can’t tell gotit and gunna apart sometimes
