Culture Appropriation

Race Jones said:
so you hold these same views when it comes to Eminem and all other white rappers?
also cultural exchange is more so about certain aspects of a culture being appreciated and expressed, rather than appropriated.

Ive come to realize hip-hop is a movement that can cross into many racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Actually I do.

But I am not the one that has an actually 'issue' with others biting our style.
I think it's wack when we do not receive the credit due us but I choose not to stress myself over things I can not control.

To be honest everyone knows where things originate, unfortunately we allow them to push us out of our own ish sometimes.

Example: Before when I use to go out to a hiphop club white folks were few and far between. Now! The white folks are the ones doing all of OUR dances in the middle of the floor while we post up against the walls with drinks two stepping. haha.

It's like the twilight zone.

yall forget em battled nigaz like cannibus..

em was in cyphers and on mixtape tracks with the hotteset niggaz in the game like X and Jay and not only holding his weight but out spitting them.....

this dude was far from a gimmick but treated as such regardless.....

i was never a huge em fa, but skill is skill, talent is talent....real is real.....dude bout that life....

i don't consider em culture appropriation.....dude really is a part of the culture.....there were always whites and latino's who were a part of the culture..and there is a difference between genuine contributors and those who just doing it cuz they think it's a game

You really gonna compare him to Em?

Someone who tested his mettle in a field that was pushing against him the entire time.....

someone who had one of the top hip-hop media outlets publicly declare war agaisnt dude...... someone who had to earn his acceptance throughout the underground community as almost an urban legend, and needed the co-sign of an established legend to even break through, and still took a few years to shake stigma of being a silly token white rapper not to be taken seriously..even by his own label.....and in return gave back to the culture by breaking through on satellite radio...giving greats like Sway a stage to highlight and introduce underground and independent artists to a worldwide audience....


that's who we're comparing this guy to??


cuz he white????



:smh:

pretty much

just like youre upset because hes white.

this argument only has a leg to stand on because this man is white.

I dont see the difference between what hes doing and what EM does or Macklemore, or Post Malone.

I mean the confederate flag is the only thing I have an issue with.

other than that, DU whats the difference?

Em and mack been rapping for a while, they're genuine about their love for the craft. The guy in the op and post are just their for the quick comeup.
 
I guess I didnt read that much into the video.

I think the only white rapper that culturally appropriates is Riff Raff

I cannot stand him.



tbh, I think this man just decided one day to rap over a trap beat. why? idk lmaoooo

is it silly? hell yes!

does he probably hate Black people and watch fox news? I bet money he does.

but is this the hill you want to hang the "all white people do is steal our shit and take from us" flag on? no.
 
you can't compare him to em, unless you show his resume...

what battles has he won? what mixtapes was he on? who has he collaborated with?

point me to a 16 where i have to rewind several times...

i don't know how old you were in the late 90's

but i was in my late teens......i was 14 when biggie died.....i was like 15-16 frist time i heard em...

it wasn't that hokey ass "hi my name is' either......

it was a dude spitting bars on mixtapes who i ain't even believe he was white for at least 3-4 months.......dude had legit bars....

those other guy you named never did that ......not once......not even an eyebrow raise.....

i heard shit from em that i wasn't even hearing from other artist.....again...before i even fond out he was white.....


you can't compare garbage to a dude like em......

yall act like em came in with not distinguishable style....

this is a reach.....admit it and we can move on.....cuz i mean if you pursue a one sided argument like this, it's going to look more and more like a reach

this my first em freestyle i heard of...



i bugged the dude who had it for a copy for like a week, and listened to it like a million times.....

c'mon..stop playing
