You spazzin over nothing even mentioned... its Saturday, go outsideTake a step back from hip hop? nikka we've known who Michael and Stevie were for decades. But because you got into Eminem and Kanye after growing up on Pink Floyd and Nirvana, you think you know hip hop? And you think "other genres" don't get attention? And the most popular R&B albums need to be recognized? It's bigger than what he said. It's his history. Hip Hop Twitter in general is toxic, pretentious, and out of touch white men who don't know or genuinely respect black music. They don't even know who Fred Hampton is. But they know who Tom MacDonald is.
Cacs really make me sick. If you take in everything I'm saying, you'd understand. This elitist pretentious attitude has a stench that reeks everywhere. Anthony Fantano. The list goes on. Pitchfork. Sad thing is, hip hop is one of the MANY things in black culture that has been infested with stench
The words simp, woke, and countless others. These words used to be ours. Now not only are the first two completely gentrified, but woke is now an anti-black far-right nationalist cac buzzword
That's another discussion. But to tie it all up. Playboi Carti and Travis Scott are seen as dope by these crackers. But let someone like KRS ONE or Mos Def or Lupe or Ice Cube or even Kendrick have songs that they've listened to about the oppression of black people
Some of those same hip hop loving snow beasts will call that shyt "woke". My rant is done
This single tweet encapsulates everything wrong with mainstream hip hop these days

I just got home from work. 12 hour shift. 3rd day for 5 in a row. Helping save lives. I get on the Coli on my phone when I'm bored. Reading comprehension. I can't dumb the thread down for you
And this is why posters stay in the Higher Learning subforum. Let this have been a Lil Durk "black people need to do better" thread and yall would make this platinum and talk about the same shyt yall do every weekThis thread is an atom bomb of emotion...and I can't even tell what the OP is emotional about
Let random Twitter thoughts drive you mad on a Saturday night
I face racism every day. Condescending pretentious, wanting to be black cacs irl just like the one with the tweet. shyt is triggering. And he has even worse tweets. But claims he knows what real rap is. You don't know what Hip Hop Twitter is. If you're confused then enjoy your Saturday. Fishing for daps on a thread like this isn't the move. nikkas don't like reading and thinking in the Booth
I'm venting. I'm tired of the shallow reasons posted on here of why Hip hop is suffering. What I said in here is the real issueI may need to reevaluate my ignore list cuz it looks like op is going in on somebody but I don’t see shyt
I'm just tired of cacs and America at large. I'm moving to Ghana when I retire in 40 years

I get the sentiment but we've reached a point where it's more likely that a white kid has heard a Marvin Gaye album than a black kid. That's a problem.

Pimp dont let these bytch azz MFs rattle you with their passive aggressiveness. They have nothing to refute your points even though they disagree so they play the indifferent and coy role on some "why what are you talking about good sir...this is madness, sounds lke you need to go outside" they know it boils your blood when they do that. Speak your peace and bludgeon them with facts. Only so long they can keep up the facade of arrogance before the truth triggers them into a fit of rage due to that barely suppressed inferiority complex.
Cacs have an intense affinity for studying 'Just enough' of various ethinic groups culture, and using subversive tactics to shut people native to the culture out of positions of influence and authority and taking these positions for themselves. This is tenfold with hip hop, because consumerism is more important than ownership and leadership.
Hip hop needs BLACK people in power who care about the culture and the narratives that make it to the mainstream within it.
Too many of us take a capitalist approach to hip hop; treating as a thing to make money than fukk off with no regards to how we could use our money and influence to gatekeep and further invest back into the culture in a real tangible way. not just paying lip service to hip hop and doing all this cute KRS-ONE shyt harping abut the rules, or elements of hip hop when there is nothing real behind it to enforce it.
if nikkas could have the no-fly zone, check in shyt with the industry as a whole as it pertainins to these disingenuous cacs, we could get somewhere

I think the 1st meaningful step is to stop going on these platforms giving them exclusives and thereby legitimizing their magazines and podcast etc.

I understand the angle you're going with but to me that tweet is really just some tryhard shyt. Dude picked three staple, starter-pack type classics and tried to act like he's digging in the crates and putting people on to some obscure music.
These responses are exactly how I feel LMAO.
Ehh, I really don't think that is the case yet. We've (I mean heads on the coli, not you and I) mentioned this on this site a few times but R&B is the perfect way to spot a "culture vulture", rap is really all these cats know and that's where it stops for them when it comes to black music. Case in point the guy in the O.P. using Thriller as an example of "realizing how great other genres are".

Nawww, I know exactly what you're saying @A Pimp Named Slickback
First off you don't need to take "a step back from hip hop" to appreciate other genres or to incorporate them into your listening, and while the tweet may seem innocuous its more accurately just subtle.
Its essentially what flea ridden acoustic guitar hero "rapper" Post Malone said that if you're looking for substance or music with a message don't look to hip hop, or Australian dingo haired singer Lourdes was saying with that goofy ass song "Royals"...they critique, downplay and criticize the culture while simultaneously stealing the sound and the aesthetic and offering back a b*stardized souless version of the music.
Anthony Fantanano being touted as the internet's authoritarian on whats "good hip hop" is a problem. The stock thats put in these lists compiled by Rolling Stone, Complex, Billboard etc is a problem. Marklemore feminizing and fagatizing hip hop while winning awards over Kendrick or even being in the same category as him is a problem. Frat boys masquerading as rappers to jumpstart their comedy careers is a problem. Right wing panderists like Tom Macdonald, Kid Rock, Ryan Upchurch etc creating a subgenre of "anti woke pro Trump blonde braids country-rap-rock-hick-hop" racking up millions of views is a fukking problem.
If yawl don't see it thats unfortunate to say the least.

that guy is paying for twitter 
that's all that needs to be said.
he's so insignificant that he needs to be pay for his opinion to be heard.

Whole post is gospel breh.
I remember when “Royals” came out. I was in the tenth grade, I think. All the white kids loved that shyt but that song gave major
vibes.Talking about chains and gold teeth as if they are the bane of human existence but profiting of music that utilizes hip hop and R&B elements. I liked that “Team” song of hers but generally avoided much of her work after that. It came off as tasteless and passive aggressive white womanism. She always seemed like a tryhard clearance aisle Bjork anyway.
And Post Malone is hot trash. Earl Sweatshirt kinds predicted dude’s whole trajectory in his Twitter response to “White Iverson”. Post is parasite who used and uses hip hop to get plaques and attention but perceived it as “hype music”. He never understood the depth and pain behind the genre/art-form/movement. He just saw dollar signs.
The exploitation of Black American culture and music has been disgusting. It’s odd how Black Americans can be accused of having no culture but have a culture that is perpetually replicated over and over again by people who claim they have culture
I’m Zimbabwean and it’s the craziest and most out of pocket shyt to me
