Man’s getting a superstar push despite mediocre music yet he doesn’t have white privilege. How many black artists with similar quality music getting some of those samples cleared?

This. Yeah I could’ve sworn there was a huge thread on this because rolling stone (I think that’s who it was, I’ll have to find it) actually had a great article on it.

Once white rappers get the push they’re pushed into the pop and urban market with more broad media exposure while black artists are strictly delegated to one market unless they “sellout”

I remember listening to radio and an Eminem song will play then a pop artist that had a rapper on it but the rappers verse was missing.

Top 40 Radio Has a Rap Problem

Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B and Migos make the most popular records in the country, so why aren’t they thriving on pop stations the way white rappers do?

Since the beginning of 2012, only one non-white rapper has been able to cross over from mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop (or “urban”) radio and crown the chart: Drake, with “One Dance,” which features minimal rapping. Nor is it the case that pop radio has mysteriously turned against hip-hop as a whole. During those same six years, white rappers have repeatedly scored pop Number Ones: Macklemore (twice), Eminem, Iggy Azalea (twice), Machine Gun Kelly, G-Eazy (twice) and NF. Aside from Drake, the only non-white rappers to reach Number One in this format in recent years have done it by collaborating with an A-list pop act – as Kendrick Lamar has done as a featured guest for Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 – or by making a record so far from the sound of mainstream hip-hop that rap radio wouldn’t touch it (Flo Rida’s “My House”).

I think there’s some white privilege on the higher up industry side


But at the end of the day black culture has to embrace you for you to really blow if we don’t you end up (at best) on the sidelines or in that space with icp tech nine logic where u can make money in rap but there’s a ceiling to what you can do and you can only go so far

I mean how many white ppl have had careers that lasted over ten years in hip hop eminem? Even the ones I really fukked with (Jon b Paul wall) only had so many years doing there thing

If there was actual white privilege there would be a lot more white rappers with mainstream success

Like I said the industry higher ups sign and push a few white rappers so they get a chance

But if u are a white rapper (to me personally) you better be nicer than a majority of the rappers we already have or atleast have an original story. Eminem was nice (but not better or close to nas jay Ras kass big pun) but he had his own story but I didn’t give him a chance til chronic 2001 and thought he was nice after

But yeah I do think white ppl have less privilege in rap but fukk it let us have one thing and if they didn’t the corporations would’ve did to rap what they did to rock and completely whitewash it. rap is a black artform if you white and your nice and understand the history and culture I’ll give u a listen if not find one of the million other jobs you do have that “privilege” in

Y’all keep making him bigger than what he is. If he’s mid then let him fade into irrelevance. How about talking about music you actually like?

What you have to understand is that modern day rappers are mascots for white supremacy. He knows what he doing let’s stop scapegoating ignorance. These people know what they are doing.

It's sad how true this is.
