Because usually when the "mainstream media" talks about hip hop artists/acts, they're usually the "white"/"safe" ones.
So how much longer until Cacs take over Hip-Hop completely?

but, but..but... i don't want a new genre.
black artists just need more support, monetarily
i bought itunes cards just to buy singles off albums I own and bought to further support black artist I like enough to support. bought the same damn single 3 times, Trillmatic lol
hip hop is one of the most popular genres, but the black artists aside from jay z and kendrick aren't getting enough support.
i think the mixtape game definitely fukked with how much people don't support artists anymore. we just want free music.
we download so much music instead of supporting the artists, and then wonder why labels go seeking for pop artists to hop on songs to sell.. cause they aren't selling the other way

Done.
It's over for that. I expect to see more Lordes and Macklemores in the next couple of years.
White people and Jews own the labels, white people buy the music en masse, control the radio stations, control the distribution/media/etc...they could never collectively related to us and our struggles so what is there better than to have their own rappers who they can relate to. It's like gentrification...make the music safe and relatable and push the people who made it what it is all the way in the back and not even visible. We traded having our own business sense. having our own labels, owning our masters, and controlling our music/art for being accepted by audiences that didn't give a damn about us. That's how we lost.
And there is no "stopping them from" doing whatever...it's done. White people just take stuff, countries, people, money, etc and don't care about what we think. They just do it....and act like the victim/oppressor at the same damn time...
Black music actually made by black musicians is going to become niche music.
I could care less at this point. Hip-hop and manufactured urban culture (the ones made and marketed to us by old white guys in board rooms) has set us back and in it's current state is trash.
It's just sad to think that 20 years ago this meant something and now it's a goddamn parody.

doesnt mean hiphop will disappear, it'll just fade into the background like rock, techno, blues, jazz. sorry but its just evolution. things dont stay the same forever.but, but..but... i don't want a new genre.

eventually the new gen will create something else, I always thought Footwork/juke would replace hiphop but I think it was too soon, you'll see, when suburban folks flood the genre and it loses its appeal (see thread), black tend to create a new platform to express themselves.

This is gonna become more and more the "norm" in the next few years
Nah bruh, white people like footwork/juke now lol and White people are even more "hyper conscious" about Black culture because they know they can't create like us so as soon as any kind of innovative cultural movement gains life in our communities, they pour money into it without letting it grow. Rap could grow decades before the common White even gave a fukk. Now that will never happen.You got Cacs crying cause a Black artist didn't top the Billboard 100 once this year. They know.

Its not that its the damn age of information now. they can pick up on the underground super quick, so genres lose their mystic over night. :wdf:
exactly....
It's crazy. I'm from Atlanta and Cac bloggers can basically create a narrative of the scene here as fast as it happens, all the way from Maine suburb or some shyt. I really don't know how we remedy it or if there is even an solution to getting them off our nuts?

I've just accepted that this will never happen, and that as long as blacks make music, whites will steal, copy, and pass it off as their own. Hell, rock music used to be super black, now when you think about it you can only think about white people (and Jimmy). Rap is gonna be the same way eventually.
It makes sense, most white people love ironically using black slang, but they don't actually like black people. It's just easier to have a white artist that that "acts black" so you can enjoy the music without having to listen to a "thug"

But why do we have to endure this sick joke, where we're blessed with all of this creative power, only to have someone else come in and claim what is ours?
