Because other rappers have similar audiences I guess

Wait I read this wrong

This is so cap

Like the opposite he brought real rap back

just to reiterate hip hop was already commodified by white folks in the late 80s and we got rick rubin etc to thank for that

I agree

A lot of his fanbase are people that look down on street rappers and say that avant garde rappers make “real art” and street rappers are just rappers and that rap isn’t really an art form
Same people who say that rappers aren’t really musicians cause they don’t play instruments

Yes , your correct OP but the way hip hop is heading anybody that’s super creative will bring people from different demographics onto hip hop . Plus he’s with Kim K so that’s another demographic. It is annoying when you hear someones opinion on hip hop when clearly they only listen to certain types of hip hop and don’t know what’s bangin in the hood but that’s the state of hip hop right now .

We fanbase shaming now

OP didn’t tell a single lie and the climate of KTT recently is the proof

White fans loved rap since the beginning tbh NWA was like the zoo for suburban white kids. When white people buying your albums, just means you made it lol

rap been commodified for years by label execs and corporate sponsors but they wanna act like all of a sudden it’s cos of ye lmao

If you learned to read you would know that’s not what I’m talking about

i know what you’re talking about but white fans who don’t get the cultural aspects of rap has been a thing since the dawn of time you stupid c***. you had white niggas looking at NWA as poverty p***. same with a lot of southern rap in the 90s. ugk 3 6 etc. ye was not the one who started it dummy or even kickstarted it for that matter

You're still wrong when there were more accessible, artsy, and innovative artists where white people can look at as a degree of quality in rap lol.

I wish a white person didnt make this thread but you right

wait this nigga white yuck

Never met anyone who says the only rap artist they listen to is Kanye

Absolutely

Ye stans now are like Em stans in the 2000s who dont listen to rap but think it revolves around their favorite artist

kanye is the new eminem for these white folks lol

op is right

i think i agreed with this when thread originally came too

LMAOO literally just said this too

Op was never wrong but the thing is he tried to make it a ye centric thing when history has prove that is false
