    I wonder if Ian didn’t look like that if the pushback would be this extreme lol

    But he does look like that

  • TheFader

    Ian cannot mock street culture in an attempt to make it uncool, because he is not a part of the culture

    =

    A random person cannot call your sibling a mean name that you would call them because they are not a part of your family

    Oh yeah, got you now my b

    I never thought he sounded black. He sounds like yeat to me

    You saying this like Yeat isn’t obviously trying to sound black. He even made up his own word to substitute the n word be for real

    Tyler's point is mute because A) Ian isn't making a mockery of the indust b) Tyler has literally made a mockery of the genre multiple times in the past.

    The jack Harlow point is interesting. What's the difference between jack and ian? I like Ian's music but jack is generic to me so idk why the hate not flipped

    Ian’s marketing is smug but self-aware in a “can you believe this guy is making s*** that sounds like this? You wouldn’t expect a guy who looks like THAT to be tied to these cultural signifiers!” way that’s meant to make the consumer think *this affable goofball is both abdicating and claiming his whiteness and his punchlines, his beats, his delivery, it’s all so slick and au currant!”

    Jack’s marketing is smug but self aware in a very different way that allows him to be found much more palatable. Jack’s pitch is: “I’m not making a big deal out of it. See how I’m not beating you to death with the fact that I’m white? I’m white but not too white, sexual but not dangerous, I don’t deal but I know someone who does. And at the end of the day…. I just really love rap 🥺”

    @lightmagic get on this timing real quick

    Cause and effect. I do things for the purpose of effecting positive change. I don't support ideologies that aren't actually going to lead to positive change. What I said about hood culture dying isn't just because of ian, he's a very small part of a greater change that we can't and shouldn't attempt to reverse

    Making street culture a mockery so it’s uncool is not something that should be done by a white person.

    It’s the equivalent of you calling your sibling a d***head but wanting to fight someone else who calls them that

    I’m confused on how homie thinks that’s gon work wit a white suburban rapper rapping about street s*** and blowing up off of it. Thats a plot straight out of a “white savior” film lol
