Kai Cenat plays Runaway on piano, Glorilla doesn’t recognize it, comments say “the South wasn’t listening to Kanye”

The responses in this thread give insight into some of y’all’s upbringing

I have tried to explain this on the coli years ago, but it just doesn’t seem to register. The hood does not play mainstream music. Now of course there are exceptions. There are songs that get play that happen to be mainstream, but mainstream music has never dictated what is played in the hood.

It’s really that simple.

There are regional artists/songs out there that thecoli has never heard of. I’ve seen many threads on here dedicated to regional artists that do not get any responses, but those same artists get more play than your favorite mainstream artists.

Kai is from BX. Nowhere near the burbs.

You right. It’s safer than alotta burbs such as Compton and Harvey Illinois

I'm not surprised for her. It's par for the course for her. It's about these South nikkas always piling on with "we wasn't bumping that in the South". To excuse they ignorance of something musical. Yet as soon as an NY nikka say they wasn't bumping one of they random regional artists they cry NY Bias. MDBTF was a huge album. Saying the South wasn't bumping Kanye's biggest album is crazy af imo. Especially in the social media era. If it dropped in the 90s I could understand the shyt more.

Yea Kanye was one of the biggest artists in the world so that’s some bs that a whole region didn’t listen to him. That being said with her being so young and her growing up in a household where all they listened to was old R&B and gospel it’s understandable she never heard it

Yea I'm not mad at her. It's the goofy nikkas talkin bout "the South wasn't bumping Kanye" that I'm calling out.

The Bronx, like every hood, has some dudes who stay inside more than others. The dude made a name for himself by streaming from his room, right?

How is it ignorance to not know a koonye song?

nikka just asked "how is it ignorant to not know something?!"

been in Memphis for about 35 years. some folks here fukked with Kanye’s music hard, others didn’t, I mean we have our own scene (really picked up around 2001 when Gotti got hot) and it’s easy to not listen to much of anything else

 

[bordeaux]

I would say majority of rap fans in Memphis I grew up and went to school with weren’t mainstream rap fans. Doesn’t surprise me at all especially from 25 yr old.

The bolded.

The sht was a big deal at the time and probably how most of us know the song.
The vma performance.
A young person definitely had to have seen that sht

The VMAs haven’t been a big deal in a longgggg fukking time

I don't agree, but she has a point. MBDTF was huge, but that was his least selling album at that point. Yes, its gotten certifications since then, but that album definitely wasn't what Graduation was. None of the singles or even the songs hot like "Can't Tell Me Nothin" or "Good Life" or even an album cut like "Barry Bonds". "Runaway" wasn't that huge nor were any of the other singles. When Kanye dropped MBDTF, it was in the middle of the Drake and Nicki Minaj run. Rick Ross was peak Ross.

Let’s be honest man

MTDBF was severely propped up by white media…they loved it. It was a great album but they lead the charge on that

 

[MrSpook]

There’s a lot of hiphop heads that do not listen to mainstream hiphop. Especially in a place like Memphis, they got enough local rap

Thank you cuh. Lmao being from Jacksonville I can back this, your environment and upbringing goes with this as well.

Shout out ye but I can only listen to so much of him. Plus I was around old heads so it was a lot of 90s jams around me anything I discovered was off the faith of ya boy.

Shout out the New York homies imo y’all the true mecca for hip hop! Not rap but hip hop. That sht beautiful.
