Thank you. As I follow more Korean acts, I get upset that black culture has been taken and yet black people are still frowned upon. Thank you for shedding light on the subject.

[@timsohn7057]

I think people do this across the board. Its kind of like how people like “Chinese food” (quotes for fake takeouts lol) yet hate Asians, Love tacos but hate Mexicans etc. Its like they dont stop to think about where the things they appreciate even come from.

@@DarkAngel2512 If the people are telling you that it is offensive to them and their culture to use AAVE and CA and you continue to do it. Does that tell that culture that you respect them and their people? No it does not. When the KHH has been told over and over again how this affects the black people and yet they continue to us CA tells the black people that they do not care about us. Culture and people go hand and hand. Do not take from a culture and not care about the people. If black people took Korean culture and used it to make a profit then we would be wrong. Give black people and it's culture the exact same respect you want us to show your people and culture.

It is true that there is no fine line of copy right or patent in music gerene, but rap culture is embedded within Black culture. Honestly, I do not know the answer to this matter. But, I want you to know that some of Koreans acknowledge this issue. Don't be to haste to judge and at least try to hear what we try to say. I wish you all the best day.

If you think Koreans are vultures stop listening to Korean music, stop speaking Korean, eating Korean food, singing Korean songs. Etc but you wont because youre a hypocrite and know the culture was shared with you. And if you know anything about hip hop you'd know the same about that. God, I hate how Kpop fans come into hip hop conversations and dictate to hip hop heads about things they arent even a part of and know eff all about. Did you know hip hop was originally created by latinoes aswell. Blacks and latinoes grew up in the same neighbourhoods. They created it together but black faces were more dominant so that's who people recognise as the face of hip hop. Go check BC One and see who competes? All races are welcome. Kpop fans absolutely disgust me. The racism oozing from you guys absolutely stinks. Some of the biggest hypocrites I've come across. Never had this crap from black people growing up in the 80s-2015. This woke crap has no place in hip hop but because most hip hop heads are outside the Korean music scene and dont listen to khh they dont see all this crap Kpop fans are pushing to counter it. You guys talk about respecting the hisotry and repping the culture properly and look at you. 🤡🤡

[@lilmamagc]

@@panemp3 Umm yes we did share our culture??? There are so many black artists that have collaborated with non black artists starting DECADES ago in the 70s, man. Go watch a few of Cher's performances from the 70s. Michael Jackson, the king himself, wanted to collaborate with Tiger JK (the father of hip hop in korea, as mentioned in this video) at one point. Music is meant to be shared, and many black artists have done that over the years. This ignorant unnecessary gatekeeping by the younger generation is starting to get on my nerves so bad. Yall don't realize yall are making us all look bad by this behavior. Just because someone likes to do something that started with our culture and make it artistically their own, does not mean they need to be kissing our feet in the process. You didn't start hip hop. I didn't start it either, so literally what claim do we have other than our skin color? All I ask is respect the genre and don't try to be a fake thug/degrade women in the lyrics. Those are legit the only two things that bother me.

[@lovethestars_lovethemoon]

There's also something else that bothers be... the artist still working with Owen. At this point idk if I'm really expecting too much from another race towards their own but seeing people stand up with blm and then turn around and collab with Owen just really rubs me the wrong way... for example, h1ghr music specifically because I remember most if not all posting out about blm and then they drop that remix and include Owen... just made it seem performative to me.

[@tengudono634]

Standing with BLM is also a marketing strategy. Almost anyone you normally see talking about it is POTENTIALLY using it for that (not everyone and not specifically talking about h1gher either). Especially ones that say "I donated this amount". You don't need to say that out loud. Owen is also a talented rapper (even tho I don't listen to his stuff) and has been in that small community for years. He is probably their friend and they wanted to give him a chance. These are just potential reasons on why collabs like these occur. For all we know, my statements can be entirely wrong

[@DarkAngel2512]

Owen didnt do anything wrong. He had been working on his music unaware about the activism after George Floyd. Infact it was prob a day or two later he started getting abusive messages about it, something he wasnt even aware of. The activists attacking him were in the wrong. And not to mention Floyd wasnt killed due to his race and its contested whether he was even killed as new autopsy reports and camera angles show. Plus BLM ripped off 50% of the donations ($45 million). So he wasnt wrong for not posting about BLM, Floyd etc. Too many ppl wade in and blindly support stuff. BLM are a Marxist organisation and considering what Marxism and Communism has done to North Korea and China expecting an Asian person to support BLM is asking the ridiculous.

[@lilmamagc]

I don't care if non black people like hip hop. I just DONT like when there are wannabe rappers that glorify the thug life when they KNOW they aint about that LIFE. I don't care how they dress, what the music sounds like. But the fake thug wanna be is just cringe and I wish they would stop. It's so disrespectful imo. Simon D baby you aint no thug lol.

[@DarkAngel2512]

True. But also neither was Rick Ross or Prodigy from what I've read. Hip hop is supposed to be about keeping it real and while I dont mind storytelling if someone clearly doesnt have a lick of street culture about them the "acting" isnt convincing. A lot of these K pop rappers (not including KHH artists) are quite inauthentic but for me that applies to any race. I cant follow much western mainstream for the same reason. I can def jam out to Jay's commercial stuff as he is openly commercial and doesnt try to be thug but you have people like JKyun(forgot what he changed his name to) who faced off to Swings in Show Me season a couple years ago and it was utter cringe. They dont seem to get it and its quite transparent. Then you have the less pop artists who have a more convincing street style like Deep Flow or Vasco/Bill Stax.

Personally I'm 50/50 on the hair, I admit it may be hypocritical of me but I only feel upset in my soul when I see/feel like a Korean artist wearing black hairstyles is purposefully trying to stereotypically "act black" / mimic another Black artist / doing it as a trend. As for some of them namely G2, he's had locs for years and wasn't just jumping back and forth on it as a trend nor did I feel like he was trying to portray himself as a Black man so I personally lowkey saw that as appreciation (again that's me personally but to the wider society it is still deemed CA and I won't refute that) it's just all in the vibe for me personally and their actions that determines if I'm offended and offended to the point of not listening to their music. However, I'm not going to jump in to defend them against my community because I know why others are against it 100% and just because I'm Black doesn't mean I get to speak over the entire community. What I also really dislike is when some of them get called out for it and some reply with things like 'I love Black people, I love Black culture' but can't understand why wearing certain styles or even saying certain things is offensive? They're so quick to pick up on trends yet some really expect me to believe they don't know some history behind these things or even the n-word? or at least know its wide knowledge that that stuff is offensive for a valid reason... Regardless of my personally feelings on the hair, I think it would be better to respect Black people by just not doing these things they deem offensive.

[@seoultherapy]

Hey, we hear you on that. Cultural Appropriation is a really tricky subject. Some black people have different opinions on the hair and it's totally okay but obviously as you mention, you don't speak for the entire community and you're fully aware of that which is good.

[@sweetchocolatesecret]

I agree with this point. My beef is mostly with how people behave while wearing Black hair styles rather than the style itself. Like I HATED Zicos Tough Cookie because it felt thoroughly offensive. But when some khip hop artists wear it for a while and not change up their disposition I don't feel offended. But just like OP I do think this is my opinion and this topic is very subjective.

Black homicide rates wet up 800% in Portland when police were defunded. BLM are NOT a good charity. They are bad for black people and race relations as a whole.

We dont see race and just get on with it but god-forbid anyone nowadays say their colour-blind and apparently you're racist for not judging people by their race. You cannot reason with these people as they're ideologically captured and brainwashed MKUltra style via the medium of social media. They speak in a foreign tongue to the rest of the world and are completely out of touch with reality. Plus many of them are too young to have lived before the advent of social media. Blacking up was acceptable until 5 years ago. Many of these people are approx mid 20s so are raised on woke culture since they left school and hit college.

It's beginning to get old. We still use rap in music but it's getting old. And this energy will spread around the world slowly stopping the copying of African culture a bit. If you look at BTS and their new style and music they use very less black influence on it. And many other Asian or Korean singers are changing too. It's dying off slowly. It's getting old.

You can't claim you understand a genre and a culture and try to act like you're a part of it withour first understanding where that culture and genre originated and who influenced and popularized it. Without understanding what it's about. Without understanding what it meand as a collective and as a genre and how important the figures in that culture and genre are. The absolute influence and culture and inspiration and ideas given to other countries by the black community from this genre and our culture used to inspire and help create sub genres of this genre and of this culture all over the world cannot be ignored.
