Why Does Hip Hop Accept White Rappers While Country Music Doesn't Accept Any Black Singers?

Charlie pride is an OG country artist. I wasn't busting your balls OP, I agree with the concept of the thread and know where you're going with this. One or two examples still doesn't negate what your saying.

Oops Somebody already posted charlie

He started as the lead singer of a pop group with cacs but you're right. He does do country music and he's the only nikka in it, they accept him because he started with a white group but you're right.

Name another 1.

so is that the new eminem?

This cat has nearly 30 million views and I haven't heard of him. Labels really buying views.

Hoodie Allen another one too, I hear white folks talk about him all the time but im like "Who??"

Dame Dash says a lot of shyt I don't agree with but on this he's right. Why is it that we allow people to come get money in our culture but we can't get none in theirs? We should shun cacs out the fukking door unless they're on some Eminem type of level lyrically. Cats who can't make money in their own culture come to ours and make a killing.

SMH @ Not knowing of any black country singers.

Sometimes I give this board way too much credit.

 

[Methodical]

Because white people support white rappers....

Black people don't/wouldn't support a black country singer

I can understand that.

To black people, Country Music is the white music, sadly.

Just like to white people, think Hip-Hop is the black music back then in 80s' - 90s.

I understand OP's point. @Blackthoughts

So, now it's like Hip-Hop isn't black music anymore while Country Music is still white music. It isn't the first time that white steal the black music. They did the same thing with Rock & Roll.

But they're not making a killing from black consumers they're making a killing from white consumers. If not a single black person worldwide bought anything G-Easy's selling he might lose less than 500 dollars.

Have you ever heard of Darius Rucker, he's a black Country Singer.

I was just about say him. He was from this group hootie and the blowfish

I heard that g-easy shyt on pandora and gave it a thumbs down when I saw he was white.

Majority of hip-hop fans are white, or at least the majority of people who buy the albums

@ people naming 1 or 2 black country singers.


The point is, nobody is proclaiming black country singers as the best in their genre, they aren't nearly as popular as white country singers or selling as much.

nikkas can't have shyt to themselves while whites can have hella shyt to themselves for the most part. Hip hop started as a sound by poor blacks and now whites can come in and have their way with it. Country music derived from blues which was black and now they have that pocket to themselves, along with jazz music and rock and other genres that nikkas created. I don't blame the cacs for coming in and fukking this bytch we call hip hop, I do blame the nikkas for not standing up and shunning these cacs like Action Bronson out the game.

Before Darius Ruckers last album, the only black country singer to have a record chart was Charley Pride in 1983, that's a 1 nikka for every 30 years average

Wake me up when Black people give a shyt about country music first, then we can talk.

You can't have artists in a genre that nobody is checking for....

Wake me up when anyone who isn't a white girl or a redneck CAC likes country music. I know VERY few people outside of females who like country music. I don't know if someone has done a study on this but I'd argue Country Music would be most folks "least favorite" musical genre
