I'm a non-black transplant to the West Coast.
WIthin a yeart and a half I learned geography and never let the sames mistakes happen again, and I've been met with love and led with love and respect ever since. Nobody would disrespect the legacy of Pac other than those who deem him guilty for rape. But I did learn about talking spicy about Kobe
although not shytting on him but in comparison to other players the natives here will defend him with their lives, i've seen the filipinos actually get physical for this shyt even when just debating sports over blunts and brews.
This is why I actually think Drake needs to just wrap it up, because while I know LA isn't representative of the entire Western world, this whole shyt symbolizes the difference between the two sides of culture coming to a head. HipHop is the greatest shyt in the world and this popout is evidence of it. This dude's vibes have been garbage for the larger part of about a decade or so and since his Meek shyt his compass has need to be recalibrated and he finally crossed a line in which he can't uncross with this beef.
With ppl like Kendrick, Cole, Dre, and other tastemakers, it is super likely that the sails of raps future are in good hands. Jake Pauls flame out, Lil Pumps flame out, just like Vanilla Ice flamed out, and other court jesters of yesteryear flamed out
