It wasn’t really rocket science though. It happened already with Rock
We made the same mistake with Rock. We’re the act, entertainment, not the owners and distributors of what we’re creating.
It was destined to happen formally but the seeds were planted a long time ago.
Rock was diferent,it wasn't culturally based,or culturally bias in our favor really. Theres nothing that really keeps a white man from being able to do Rock N Roll as authentically as any black man.
Where hiphop comes from,and the black pride it is based on,there were solid walls and defenses set up that didn't make it as accesible as Rock.
Black artist in the genre abandoned that to quote on quote "expand their brand",and in doing so dropped those safe guards to be more digestible to euros.
This is a situation where the vampires couldn't come in unless they were invited.Rappers practically begged them to come in to get a bigger check
