Is that one song you're talking about called Rock Star by Prima J? Cuz I still listen to it TILL THIS DAY 😂 Idk about that, there will still be Stan wars so why leave it till the end. It's not really rapping just slow talking or it has a rhyme to it, like rap is different cuz they have lyrics that are more urban I guess.

hi, i’m 30 and i’ve been on tumblr since 2011 (yikes!!) i can back you up about it being originated on tumblr. the phrase definitely was coined by users of color pointing out that every popular boy was white. i was just as shocked as you about it possible being tied to white supremacy

My unpopular opinion: Bruno Mars hasnt been creative since his second album. Ever since Uptown Funk, he's been making the same 70s,80s, and 90s-inspired songs for 10 years. I think he does that because he knows we love nostalgia and knows people will eat up an old sounding new song.

[@hello11197]

My unpopular opinion add-on: The blaccent he puts on in his music is offensive and embarrassing. He does not speak like that, he cosplays a black man for his music.

I definitely do agree with genres being more of a social construct. The way genres are defined can be flexible and nuanced especially when we consider sub genres and hybrid genres.

[@ezramiller9683]

As a fellow early 2010s tumblr veteran I absolutely remember “white boy of the month” being a pejorative for how many of the same kind of white boys were getting the same roles and were pushed upon us. So it was crazy to see the term positively used in the last couple years like why are you proud of this title

[@TheSkinnyZ]

12:24 there is a video that got served to me weeks ago that discussed Charli xcx as a rapper. It kinda convinced me. 😂 She definitely uses rap elements, but I agree it feels kinda weird calling her a rapper.

[@naomi.cannibal]

@@TheSkinnyZ oh I’ll def have to check that out

[@jminecraftstyle752]

wait it could be the same one i saw and i too was convinced. i think rapping is adaptable and there are people who blur the lines but because pop/rap hip/pop is not an official title we cant really give it those properties but i also think that music categorization can limit how many people get to hear these records.

[@TheSkinnyZ]

@@jminecraftstyle752 the channel's name is MarLoria

[@Greybell]

yeah I saw that video too! It makes a lot of sense to call her a rapper because most rappers opt for rhythmic/melodic delivery that's borderline singing. I'd say she is a pop star who happens to use a flow similar to modern rap.

[@ohhhjeeze]

Originator of the unpop opinion here! Def got me thinking when we as audience members were asked "Is it rap cause of the styling or does the style of the music classify it as a rap?" (Are you strong cause you're Gojo, or are you Gojo cause you're strong?) I got this question when listening to Everything is Romantic, 365 & Club Classics as notable songs of influence. There's something about Charli's spoken word lyricism that stems to rap for me, which then lends me to ask, "Could spoken word be classified as a rap style?" It really speaks to Naomi's discussion of genre blending in this case as well. Please, put me on to the video you guys are discussing about Charli as a rapper so I can check it out!

[@wholenewparadigm]

100000% ON THE ARTIST TAGS OMG. as a kpop listener (ateez ult hey) i ADORE hongjoong's lil giggle he does before rapping or mingi's "FIX ON!" like it just adds so much hype. i saw them back in august and the fix on's were always SO loud in the entire venue. NEED more!!

[@periodt87]

I think also what they could mean by “white boy of the month” is problematic also by the language. “White” in this case is just a descriptor of the person they are obsessing over, but it shouldn’t be used that way. In the context of the US, “white” is not like “black” where it could also be a descriptor of your culture (black american), it’s sole connection is to white supremacy. Because of the unique cultural experience and history of black Americans they have a tie to the word black. The history of whiteness in America was started and is currently only with the history of colonization and white supremacy. There’s no cultural heritage tied along with it. So when people use “white” in tangent with “boy”. It can kinda infantilize and erase the context of the word.And also turn it into something that seems harmless. idk if that make sense 😭

[@Kevin-rg3yc]

lol as the person who made that white boy of the month problematic comment this is a great elaboration of the point I was making. I also said the trend was problematic bc it felt it was glorifying white male masculinity and sex appeal which have always been the standard within society. As a chronically online person since my preteen years I know it was mostly women and LGBTQ people of color who started this trend as a ironic joke but it got turned into this weird obsession over lusting after any white dude I also know it was based around the trauma of black/asian women and LGBTQ people feeling rejected by the men within the community for white women and queer men but it becomes a little weird when you flip it and do the same thing but add some type of ironic hipster humor to it. That was the point I was making

[@naomi.cannibal]

@@periodt87 it’s making sense! I think it also kinda minimizes their talent/ devalues the craft in general bc we’re just looking for “cute white person (tm)” and that becomes the focus over whether they can actually act or not… which maybe even leads to ppl just “fancasting” ppl they think are cute bc they fit a certain beauty standard. Like a very reductive way to view actors/ acting in general in order to keep pedestalizing whiteness… idk but we see each other 🫶🏾

11:30 rap is demonstrated in delivery. I don’t think rap is set to a specific genre. Nicki Minaj has many pop rap hits. It can literally go with any genre. But You do not “sing” while you rap. It’s essentially slam poetry. It’s about your flow with tone delivery and inflection and almost attitude. That verse in 360 is singing. That is a lyric not a bar. Beyonces America Has A Problem is an example of a singer rapping on her song. I think these kpop girlies have confused the masses.

my biggest problem with the billboard hot 100 really took to light this year with the war between tswift and billie fans. it’s undeniable that there are artists who alter it and make themselves track further by dropping remixes right after another artist’s album drops.

[@dxnnxxmc]

rap is a genre and a technique, but calling something a rap should mean that it's rooted in rap/hiphop culture. like just because there's rapping doesn't mean it's rap (if that makes sense)

[@ohhhjeeze]

@@dxnnxxmc I hear what you're saying, it's very much the statement "a thumb is a finger, but a finger isn't a thumb"! For the sake of the argument, does that mean it has to be an homage of sorts as well for the body of work to be classified as rap? Rap does also act as a derivative of spoken word, or is it the other way around? Essentially, what's the standard or line here to classifying a body of work as spoken word vs rap/hip hop vs melodic rapping vs chanting? This is where the genre blending comes in as well.
