As hiphop fans how do we argue against this anti hiphop stance?

[tru_m.a.c]

Agree with everything, especially the bolded, but most folks will continue to ignore this, because they making money. Not knowing the damage this kinda thinking actually does to us.

I've never had a problem with Jay and his success, but it's this worshiping, and glorifying of Upper Class White culture, that sickens me.

Please break out the lyrics and support your premise with facts please

what part about it expresses elitism

i didnt say it expressed elitism, i said it expresses the potential limit of rap culture, in other words its basiaclly saying the ultimate level of rap culture, the highest a rapper can achieve is being a "nikka in paris"

which is fine for jay-z and kanye but its not fine for the black race

what specifically about the song makes you think this

jay-z and kanye made a song, that at least from my interpretation of the lyrics, is about being on top, and they called the song nikkas in paris

so my interpretation is that they equate being a "nikka in paris" as being on top of the world

if there is something in the lyrics that im missing let me know
