The Real Deal About Black America Losing Their Grip On Hip Hop

[Sensei]

I'll just say this...it's mad obvious alot of rappers couldn't or can't even muster up the energy to give a damn about hip-hop or hip-hop culture. and it's obvious the worship the dollar more than the artform.

That's why hip-hop culture in 2015 is dead. Sold to the highest bidder. Wholesale.

And yo...it has alot to do with both factors breh...complicit in this sabotage of the artform. Alright, I was just in a thread abot black hairstyles being modeled by a white girl in teen vogue. This is what white people and their corporate entities do when it comes to black culture. They observe it from a far, learn it, and make it suitable and more palatable to the tastes of the mainstream white consumer by putting a white face on it.

No one in the hood is listening to Macklemore, Yela, Iggy or whoever like that. The hood validation though is what makes these rappers authentic. If it wasn't for a black rapper co-signing them, then they wouldn't be taken seriously. Now they dont' even need that co-sign breh. You're kind of late to this...just because people make threads about these rappers on this forum that doesn't neccessarily mean that people are listening to them like that. But then again, this is a HIP HOP message board. Most people who come here actually listen to hip-hop and are beyond fans...they are not fairweather and casual listeners like someone Iggy would have. People like Iggy Azelea are manufactured...before she was rapping she was a failed pop star in her home country. It's not out of the realm of possibility that maybe she moved to America and saw how popular hip-hop was and schemed to make money from it or some exec "groomed" her so to speak.

But yeah, I agree with you that many rappers have stopped preserving hip-hop cause real hip-hop in the scheme of things has become a niche as far as mainstream music is concerned. Then again "black""urban" music has been marginalized altogether.

No one is late on anything, just because I make a thread on the reality on the way black artists lost their grip on rap because most blacks can't figure out the reality on how they lost their dominance of it,in no way means I am late.This is thread is actually a push to make people to come the realization on how blacks lost their touch on rap.
I could get deep on how during the pinnacle of Hip Hop,many artists never gave homage to Hip Hop's true genesis,but I'll keep it more basic. .

In all honesty, I really haven't paid attention to new rap artists in a long time,but I do Eminem has been played by some blacks for a long time. I also notice that some females in the hood are listening to some pop artists.

U sound stupid.

White rappers are supported by whutes.
We don't rock to their trash rap

So you are going to be in denial,most people in forum are white then since we have their threads on here, This is why not too much real shyt can be said here, many of yall don't deal with the reality of the problem so you are not going to going deal with the truth.Its like diagnosing a sickness without knowing the symptoms.

Stop fukking fronting.

To be real they never mimicked Jazz in its entire form, but with rap, you got white artists making records and cats is listening to it in the hood.Black rappers should be the trend setters not crumb trail followers of white rappers.

Plus blacks are not really coming with a new form of music everyone want to sound alike,and now whites mimick that pain. All popular musical genres from black people came from the struggle and soul though.

Ups and downs, ebbs and flows.

Soon there will be rappers pushing the limits of what music can do.

It's the natural evolution of art.
