Whoa no black face
Kodak blew up on his own independent, accord. His local scene made him popular, not cac execs.
I don't see anything wrong with his appearance. White people created stereotypes based on our appearance, so to say he looks like a "c00n" would be falling right into the trap that white people set. Now if you want to criticize his actions or lyrics, that would be one thing, but knock his appearance is backward thinking in my opinion.
His appearance does not fit the societal standard that the white man created. I for one, see nothing wrong with dreads, tattoos, or gold teeth. The white man will judge you based off those things, not me. All that says to me is that it will be more difficult to integrate in the world because your look doesn't match the societal norm. But integrate in what world? The white world is the answer. But not everyone is afraid of not "falling in line"
Lets not fall for the white mans tricks and prejudge our own. Andre 3000 said it best: "Is every nikka with dreads for the cause/Is every nikka with golds for the fall/ Naw, so don't get caught up in appearance
Plus, our people been rocking shiny jewelry, tattoos, and dreads since thousands of years ago, it's the white man who got a problem with it, not us.
So if some out of touch white girl want's to dress like Kodak Black, that's doesn't cause for an examination of whats wrong with the black community, it's simply just white people doing whit people shyt.
Even then are you saying that he could not possibly have modeled his persona to fit the pre existing "rap nikka" caricature.
Looks like atlantic is the parent label
Standards?No. No. No. His appearance doesn't fit any standard that successful Black people have created either. There's absolutely nothing respectable about his appearance nor his music. He's a caricature, a buffoon, a clown, etc..
because he looks like a modern day buckwheat.I'm not one to call rappers c00ns, but I always found something slightly c00nish about his appearance.
interesting...let me ask you something since im making up this caricature shyt ...would kodak black have had any success dressing like thiswhat is this "caricature" you c00ns speak of? Sounds like a lot of projection and internalization about your perceptions of blackness and negativity.
He was signed to Atlantic AFTER blowing up. You don't even know this man's career but you're so focused on your @PhonZhi bullshyt of proving your knowledge on "cac execs and their propaganda of glorifiying ignorant rappers" to realize you're just a c00n.

Thats little dikky...who probably outsells kodak black several times
WOULD YOU have bought a song from a Black rapper dressed that way?..see the stereotype is so deeply ingrained even within us....its so deep its become an archetype
Imma leave you with a little gift...Merry christmas
And before that it was Ghadaffi....Up next is probably MugabeYou seriously think the way a man dresses is the impetus of cac supremacist stereotypes that have existed long before your grandfather was born.
And you got a Idi Amin avi.
If the following is an example of how his image and music can affect whites,
, then how do think it affects Black youth?
