"Ties to the culture" is arbitrary. Folks could make the same claims vouching for Em but yall would deny it cause you dont like him.
Furthermore my post was about music. Idgaf about co-signs. All the artists mentioned including post are part of today's musical melting pot of anti-rapping "rappers" making music for fame above all else
So if its music you dont like, it doesnt count. I dont even really fw Uzi, Playboi n all that but tbeir music is just as valid as whatever u bump.
Hiphop started as lighthearted production driven party music. Theres always been a place for stuff like Playboi n them.....theyre basically just bringing back the "hippa hoppa" vibe of the late 70s/early 80s with new production styles.
Also i know the difference between rap music and hiphop. Future is rap.....Ghostface is hiphop. There is validity in what both artists do....i dont like shytting on artists bc i dnt fw they style.
Post is different bc he's a cac coming in and getting money of blac culture on sum minstrel show shyt....a culture that he has no respect for.
Whether you like Em or not, even his haters wont deny he has a genuine love and respect for hiphop
