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

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

Ian makes amazing music and is actually a youth icon right now.

He's the culture now. Not Tyler.

That's just the hard-to-swallow truth.

Tyler can kick rocks and admit himself in a retirement home now.

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 🥺”

But why not just prop up other black artists who shy away from that content?

I have a vested interest as a black person who deeply cares for our people to turn street culture into a mockery so it's no longer cool

There, I said it. That's my mission here. I see the long term trajectory and ian is indirectly actually doing a good thing

This dude real he from Kensington (Philly) raps with BSF and them. I think this is a good example of a white dude rapping street but it doesn’t seem like a mockery
