What rapper has a fan base where the majority is black?

[T-K-G]

This is a good question

The paradox lies in the fact that to crossover in any sense you have to captivate a majority white fanbase so we’re really grading every “popular” rapper on some kind of curve.

With that said i’d say

Chris Brown (black women especially are his bread and butter)

Mos Def (purely as a rapper not an actor/entertainer)

Talib Kweli

J.Cole (I KNOW he’s got a sizable white fanbase but nikkas LOVE Cole)

Exactly

No sign on the Mos/Talib tho, in 2025 you're gonna find a ton of cacs at their events, their black fanbase is mostly older brehs meanwhile the white fanbase is die hard hip hop hipsters

This happened last year when I went to a random Talib show, packed full on cacs with dreads tryna bond with me asking weird shyt




Chris Brown isn't a rapper, white people struggle with r&b unless they got the safe black co-sign like Anderson Pack and Donald Glover, so drop him off the list too



It doesn't help that white people like to hijack our culture anyway to the point where you can have a song shytting on cacs and a sizeable amount of them are gonna rock with that too


The underground street artist are the closest ones and that's solely because white people have NO idea how it where street nikkas market their music, those mixtapes aren't on the radio or appearing in commercials or social media challenges for them to be aware that it came out

Again, the question is MAJORTIY white, not just having a (sizable) white fanbase. Gucci does not have a majority white fanbase, FOH

You’d be surprised. I said what I said for a reason.

The question in the OP is who has a Majority BLACK fanbase



The answer is pretty much any street rapper who struggles crossing over into mainstream



Mainstream = Whites catching on to your wave



This conversation started yesterday when one of Aubrey's Angels tried to say "Kendrick has majority white fans" like that meant something to anyone with a brain.


I said nikka THAT'S EVERY artist who's major including Drake

Go out to a festival or a big arena tour and you'll see in person. It's gonna be majority Cacs unless it's specifically named a Black Centric event



We need to collectively stop being so damn delusional about the population of people in this country, it's not even REMOTELY close to being a 50/50 split. If something is popular in this country there is a huge population of Cacs involved

We've never been able to gatekeep our culture, if a major artist came out right now and said I don't want NO white people playing my shyt

Y'all would say they fumbled the bag because their numbers would plummet

^^no lies told!!!

Professor Griff and X Clan.

Strangely, White boys loved PE

I mean if we are talking about a majority as in 51% it’s probably quite a few guys. But if we are talking about some larger number like 80-90%, or 120%

then it must be boosie in 2025

Hard to say..

My guess would actually be the female rappers..

The Boosies and Gucci's of the world have a huge white following down here.. The trailer parks are full of them.. Not sure about majority

I’ve seen a group of Frat bros listening to Gucci in da whip.

true, but i think being a lesser-known oakland artist makes it about 30% blacker than a socal artist of similar fame
