Like I said. Not much room for out of the box in mainstream blackness.
I think it'll change in the future generations.
Ok, well what is the box then. Kendrick, Cole, Drake, the Migos...those are all very different people and they all have big followings in the black community. As different as they all may be, there are aspects of each that are relatable widely throughout the black community. The Smith kids were born rich, raised by eccentric parents, and, from what I've seen, made a point of bucking against what is considered normal by many in the black community. In a lot of ways, they simply aren't relatable to most people in the black community. I just don't think this is a matter of blacks rejecting people that are different. It's just two weirdos that seem to have a problem that a lot of people of their race don't understand or rock with them.
