How many black people work for Vice/Noisey/Complex/SPIN/Rolling Stone? (UPDATE :BUZZFEED included)

[Momentum]

I fukk w/ biz but ive never actually seen a picture of him. Which is kind of odd considering a lot of these writing types market themselves to some degree

I know that BigGhost or w/e dude who does album reviews on his site isn't black. He's a fukking white guy from Canada. He wants it to be kept a secret

BigGhost is Donald Glover/Childish Gambino.

This is a shocking revelation?

The hip hop media has always been controlled by whites/non-blacks....the source was started by two harvard cacs

I would bet anything that the demographics of the booth aren't all that different.

I legit thought that was Donald Glover for a while

BigGhost is Donald Glover/Childish Gambino.

Pretty sure he started it, then handed the project to someone else. The quality of writing/humor took a dive at a certain point in time

there a lot of Black folks who work for this very site..

folks ain't trying to come to no "common" nothing.. most hate Black women.. laugh, or ignore Black artists we try putting them onto.. call legends "flabby", and corny sh!t like that..

this thread, is jokes.. instead of pushing something moving us forward, y'all too busy crying about what these White folks ain't doing for us..

let these folks know who y'all wanna hear, around here.. what y'all want to discuss.. but, that ain't happening.. let's be real- folks would rather get daps & rep, than anything..

There it is...that ugly truth

Brehs this shouldn't surprise you, hip hop been ran by the powers that be. Did we "start it" yes we did but once it could be done for a profit they took it.

Problem was they didn't show it, they went and got nikkaz like Russell Simmons and today nikkaz like Jay to make it seem like they are in charge but they aren't shyt but Bert and Ernie being controlled by the people who have a stamp put on their paychecks.

Don't get it fukked up,.they always let us know...that's why King Kendrick can win every award but AOTY at the Grammys... they always letting us know who in charge

 

[BarackStar]

nikkas got the expose the sharks part down but once you point out the fins in the water nikkas gotta take the next step and start moving they ass out the way with alternative content

 

[Thief's Theme]

lol and Pitchfork got the worse rap reviews of them all

Great thread @1984

Can y'all brehs help those of us who may not know of other blogs/websites to head to for more diverse reviews/opinions etc? I'm not American so those big media outlets are the easiest for me to know of. I used to have various good HH blogs bookmarked but my old computer crashed

Only one I can think of now is Hip Hop is Read...

Hip hop is owned and funded by white people


I feel like I'm saying this once a week now.. It's like some of you are just waking up to the ministrel

 

[Deafheaven]

I'm waiting for the day The Coli adds a news section or review section that isn't apart
of the forums.


@Brooklynzson @cook

Do it for the culture brehs!

I'd definitely be open to contributing to this, @Adam3000 is pretty deep into music as well

Complex?
The Complex Staff Lists Their Favourite Songs And Albums Of 2015
4 black people work for complex.

Out of 24.

Considering black people make up 12% of the country.
4 out of 24 is actually very good representation.
What like 16% ?
Are we expecting a certain percentage?

salute for this thread....now can we stop posting articles and reviews from these sites on here? Why should we give a fukk what these weirdos and hipsters think about our culture? These clowns don't live and breathe this..

That is the next step.. which is the hardest step for so many users that get a rush out of making these types of threads


The reality is.... They're still going to be posting reviews from Complex and video links from Noisey...

Like @hustlemania said these threads are made with an emphasis on at who owns/works/writes for these institutions that single "us" out yet review/critique "our ........."

Whenever @The HONORABLE SKJ @Poitier or @SunZoo try something thought provoking to push these ideas forward the threads are dull. 2-3 pages max.. but we're supposed to be up in arms regarding the obvious


The next predictable complaint/realization anti CAC thread

"how many black people work for/own the record companies that sign and distribute black music"

No shots @1984 but come on fellas... This shyt is getting old and tired. If you just woke up in 2016 and realized we're end users in this culture/game you've got a long way to go..

But yet we ain't 12% of the stories they cover on their front page
