Culture Vulture Series: Complex

[AP2.5]

Should Complex be considered culture vultures?

Owned by Marc Ecko

They are always posting what I would deem as suspect chatty patty shit that seems to divide the culture vs bringing it together. I've always agreed that you dont have to be white to be considered a culture vulture but some of their postings/tweets about the culture, mixed with that shit show that is now Everyday Struggle, and they have the makings to be one.

Thoughts??

Yes.

They were part of my rant in the "Black People Don't Own Shit" thread.

There's no reason for 95% of hip hop and "urban" media to be ran by non blacks.

would you still feel the same way if they weren't owned by Verizon?

The disdain wouldn't be as strong if they were black owned.

I still dislike how they're ran with a bunch of shock value articles and videos and clickbait lists. That's a great way to get traffic, but the integrity is gone.

They're a part of the reason hip hop has taken the direction it has in the past handful of years.

Yes. A bunch of crackas and coons over there.
