If you ever wonder why Hip Hop has turned into a modern day minstrel show a million times over...now you know.

The people running the culture right now aren't even from the culture. So what you're seeing pushed everywhere, is their interpretation of what Hip Hop is and should be. It's Bamboozled all over again.
Been like that for decades decades

LOL every artist that The Booth does not like is a plant. Time and again, The Booth simply can't just see something they think is wack and move on. It has to be a conspiracy as to why people actually like an artist or artists they think is wack. Ya'll be up trying to figure out why artists yiu don't even like have a fan base.

The keys to the kingdom of this thing we call hip hop are being handed down generation to generation from one white hand to the next.

You mean like since it’s inception?
You act like Rick Rubin, Lyer Cohen. Jimmy Iovine,Bryan Turner, Donny Inner, Steve Rifkind, Ted Field

No it means "the powers that be" have advanced to using A.I., controlling the algorithms and shadowbanning if you don't break bread buying ads.


The culture is in the worst space it's ever been. And when I say "the culture" I'm meaning Black culture. Yungins don't have any OGs guiding them and it's showing in all aspects.


This isn't "falling out of touch" as much as the yungins have truly lost their way and are not all Marlo's with no rules (The Wire reference).
My boy I'm not sure I'm understanding your response...

The person I responded to said that Ice Spice was an industry plant essentially chosen by white suits who don't know anything about the culture to I guess push sexuality and a "minstrel show" to the masses. Basically conspiracy theory.

In my post I highlighted how it is that 10K signs their artists and that is by using analytics (they also have two other male Bronx drill rappers, a pair of brothers, Kenzo Balla and TG Crippy signed). As someone who is in tune with the "culture", someone who keeps up with my city's local hip-hop scene/culture, I can say that the suggestion is false, I saw her entire rise and she is a good representation of the modern day Bronx rap chick (there's a lot of chicks rapping in the city some that can really rap rap) and simply an evolution of what came before her. All this high-horsing and critique is not warranted.

Right now there's too much of an emphasis on gangstas and hoes in hip-hop but sadly it been that way since before this girl was even born the hypocrisy is that it was cool when y'all approved of the production soundscape or rapping style now that its inevitably changed its a problem.

Also, OG's is a myth...

That song is for young women you are not the intended demographic.
Just because it’s aimed at young women doesn’t mean girls don’t know what good music is. The music marketed towards them is literally ass, but there are plenty of young women out there who like actual good music. I have a little sister who is 21 and goddaughters who are teenagers and they like a variety of really good music, not just thot shyt. I don’t mind Ice Spice, but the purposeful watering down of good taste due to a lack of quality artist is disturbing.

Did something crazy happen? Fights or sumn? If not y’all should check her for saying that.

My fault man, lol, I thought she was just saying it on some highfalutin ish, that’s why I asked if any specific ghetto type ish happened 😂. My bad, salute to shorty.

I could argue that’s not necessarily ghetto, that’s just us doing us, having fun. White people always jack our ish, don’t be surprised if you see Taylor Swift poppin that cooch on the Grammy’s next year with a stack of ones lol.

Nahhh, that shyt ghetto, my bad

For your time

He's married to Lionel Richie's daughter.

No, he owns the label she’s signed to.

Her manager is Jimmy Henchman, Jr.

The rap game been done, it doesn't make a difference whether or not shes a plant
:manny:

The keys to the kingdom of this thing we call hip hop are being handed down generation to generation from one white hand to the next.

Raw & Regret.

And people swear black people control Hip-Hop. Black people are just the engine and the fuel. They ain't choosing the direction the car is going.

If you ever wonder why Hip Hop has turned into a modern day minstrel show a million times over...now you know.

The people running the culture right now aren't even from the culture. So what you're seeing pushed everywhere, is their interpretation of what Hip Hop is and should be. It's Bamboozled all over again.

So dude manages crappy/troll/plant artists???

It's the same sh*t because that's what all of these artists are seeing resonating with listeners.

This isn't the 90's where you can make a variety of sh*t. Even the vets and established artists are trying to make the kinda music that the newer artists are, so that they can stay afloat. People are killing Busta right now for making a track that sounds like the sh*t these new acts are making and are criticizing him for not bringing vintage Busta back. But artists feel they have to follow now. They're all too scared to either lead or do their own thing.

And THIS is what I was telling that dude matt that this is THE problem with hip hop these rappers not the people in CONTROL... you gonna run up on the head of the snake and demand change or you just gonna blame some dumb crash test dummy doing what the master says...:what:

Warner Music takes majority stake in label run by son of top rival​

Elliot Grainge has criticised major record companies as ‘a conveyor belt’​

Warner Music has acquired a majority stake in record company 10K Projects, the upstart label behind the rapper Ice Spice, for an undisclosed sum, according to a person familiar with the matter.

10K Projects was founded in 2016 by Elliot Grainge, the son of Universal Music chief Lucian Grainge — Warner Music’s rival.

Warner, the third-largest music company behind Universal and Sony, views the deal as a way to invest in the next generation of leaders in the music business and on up-and-coming talent.

In spite of his father’s role atop the music industry, the 29-year-old Elliot Grainge recently criticised major record labels, telling the Los Angeles Times that they are “a conveyor belt” whose power has been “completely decimated” in the past few years. “Essentially they’re a bank,” he said.

10K Projects will exist as its own label within Warner Music’s portfolio, which includes Atlantic Records, Elektra and others. Elliot Grainge will continue as chief executive of 10K.

Grainge on Tuesday said the deal “provides us with the backing, the collective expertise and vision to empower our artists and our employees on the next phase of our journey”.

Warner did not disclose the terms of the transaction, describing it on Tuesday as a “joint venture” with 10K Projects. “Together, we’ll grow our investment in artistry and accelerate the pace of our innovation,” said Robert Kyncl, Warner Music chief executive.

The deal comes as Warner and the other major labels, who combined control two-thirds of the music market, have been buying up independent record companies.

Warner in 2021 agreed to buy hip-hop label 300 Entertainment for more than $400mn, as well as Russian indie label Zhara Music. Sony Music in 2021 paid $430mn to buy independent music company AWAL.

Warner Music, home to Dua Lipa, Lizzo and Ed Sheeran, is controlled by Access Industries, the holding company for Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonard Blavatnik, through supervoting shares.

Shares in Warner Music have fallen about 5 per cent this year. Warner reported it made net profit of $124mn in the second quarter, as revenue rose 9 per cent from a year ago to $1.6bn. “We continue to invest in new creative talent,” Kyncl told investors last month.
