“Hip Hop Is Not OUR (Black) Culture” :patriceummm: Thoughts?

[Brolic Scholar]

I used to think this nikka was a weirdo that made no sense, but lately, I’ve been agreeing with some of his statements.

I haven’t decided on this one because on one hand, we took the scraps and made something of it and also sampled mostly Black artists, but on the other hand, he has a point.



Thoughts?

c00n shyt. As much as I hate what hip hop has turned into its definitely a black art form. No one questions if opera is a European art form or if salsa is a Latino art form but I've heard multiple people try to say that hip hop isn't really a black art form .

Just copy the link, then add #t=3m50s at the end of the link when you're embedding it on the coli.

You have 3 minutes and 50 seconds

Yo... cant front...
I fix with the conversation...
I dnt know if I agree or disagree yet....
Maybe I know, but cant articulate my thoughts yet...
But either way, the dude Daylyt is a thinker... I fix with him.
And you can tell he isn't just saying some shyt to be controversial or get likes

The crip gangbanger/rapper in the clip is just not that intelligent. He has a right to his opinion, but it's not an informed one.

Now I see why there was so much brushback against Lord Jamar's book challenge. MFers are comfortable in their ignorance.

They don't even know the origins of the artform that is their livelihood.

I honestly feel like hip-hop will no longer be "Black" in the next couple of years.

I just watched the video and I see what he is sorta trying to say, but i can't rock with it.

WE had to build our own culture from the ground up. Breakdancing, hip-hop, etc. Was started in America because we've been here for decades.

It sounds like he is on the whole "BLACK AMERICANS HAVE NO CULTURE" and "AMERICA IS NOT YOUR HOMELAND" wave which I disagree with.

Take a nikka with a tattoo on his face, opinion’s seriously brehs.

He’s a fakkit troll

Idk how anybody can argue that it’s not. Hip hop was the culmination of our experience in this country up to that point. I don’t like the direction that it’s gone in but it will forever be black. Simply no one else can do it like we can

 

[Will Ross]

Hip hop is a subsidiary of black culture.

Nah, I'm halfway familiar with him and the shock value vids / comments he's made.

I get the impression that he believes what he's saying. Him, kanye, b.o.b. and a lot of these guys are just idiots.

 

[Methodical]

Agree with the guy with tattoo on his face brehs



He talks about the clothes. What clothes gotta do with the hip-hop?.


Hip-Hop/Rap is a product of American black culture. America being a diverse nation there isn’t a control on who can consume whatever music they please. Black Americans did create rap/hip hop/rnb, so it is an aspect of American black culture.

Dj Herc. Jamaica. Chatting. Call and response. Jazz. Scatting, Rock & Roll.

James Brown. Last Poets.

To be more specific rap is Black culture from the South Bronx in NYC.

 

[Freedman]

I agree with him especially the part where he was talking about how any rapper would be clowned for being on some pro Africa shyt but they have no problem promoting Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc

Why is his opinion ignorant? Culture has a broad definition, so yeah, you can say that hip hop is black culture, but I definitely see the other side of what he’s talking about
