I definitely noticed how EVERYONE changed their opinion on Mac after his passing. People are weird af

[@narcoticlilac6588]

No it just that he wasn't necessarily a rapper that stood out to people, so when he passed, and it deeply affected people in the community it made people change their minds and give him a chance. He's a stranger in a culture and art form where he has to carve a unique image. People aren't weird, they can change and evolve over time. Before Divine Feminine he was literally a cookie cutter frat rapper, then he evolved himself. It's how Macklemore ,lil dicky fell off , and nobody cares because they are replaceable (jack Harlow replaced him). If Tyler Continued on the track of making Goblin,Bastard and Cherry Bomb; he wouldve have been another Hopsin or big Sean.

Thank you, exactly. We’re all one in Christ. Galatians 3:28.

[@Shockguey]

This is largely why Hip Hop is dying on the charts. You have a few rappers who make big money but the rest are struggling to make ends meet. This much was evident in the Baby Mama video that their expenses are just as high as their income and even then it's not much. This recent fiasco with Kendrick basically created a monopoly for him. Meanwhile all the white people who used to buy the albums have moved onto EDM because there's no stigma against a white person liking that. Making Hip Hop only centered on Black people has effectively driven out your major audience. This was NEVER the case for Rock where the founders were black but eventually passed on to majority white bands.

bro rappers are rappers white or black we listen to rap because it sounds good and if the bars are good then what does it matter if there white or black just listen to music and not listen to them because of there skin color

[@anonymouspersona4965]

Exactly!!

[@flamela284]

Yeah, it’s just white rappers are usually more corny and fake which is why they don’t last as long.

[@Luso00_]

Sometimes, color is more important to others than the music. Yes, sad reality.

As a white boy who lives in a hard life and who also writes bars,I agree with this.Many people told me just cuz I was white, I couldn’t rap.i hate being brought down just cuz the color of my skin. Now that’s racism.

[@SammyFash]

Indeed

[@Ty-nh8gz]

You get brought down for a few seconds because of your skin colour. The majority of the hiphop community get brought down EVERY day because of their skin colour. Keep it pushing and stop whining

[@sirchadiusmaximusiii]

⁠@@Ty-nh8gzWho gets brought down “EVERY day” for the color of their skin in the hip hop community? Name them.

[@Ty-nh8gz]

@@sirchadiusmaximusiii 90% of artist's in the hiphop community. Most are minority races who get brought down and discriminated against inside and OUTSIDE of hiphop. This is done though race micro aggressions and etc. this talented artist from the MAJORITY race, is hurt that a community is not in favor of his skin color. I can understand that its not fair, however it is hard to feel completely empathic, knowing the vast majority of spaces in this world, are always in favor of his skin color. This is just the one space that is not as a whole.

@@Ty-nh8gz I don’t get brought down for a few seconds, I get brought down all my life.And I’m not whining about my treatment,I’m exposing it.I do agree that the majority of the rap community gets brought down by people OUTSIDE of their community, but I get brought down while being in it by guys who do the same stuff as me, just with a different skin color

Em was/is authentic, that’s one of the main reasons he was able to stay around for so long! His skills and also not being scared to say whatever the heck was on his mind, did the rest! I’m black and I’ve always loved Em! Fk what Jamar is saying 🥱

Lol musician need to sell an image in their genres. If it is about true music, then 90% of hip hop won't be about sex, money, violent .

[@dieselclockwork]

It’s definitely much easier to come off as corny as a white rapper. And with so many two-week rappers in it for a cash-grab, it makes sense why people get skeptical when the next white rapper steps up. It’s important to understand this going into it. Gaining peers respect in rap over a long period of time is nothing new, (it’s just a bit harder for the white folks.) Remember the history of the genre before you even step in it, and pay respect to those who paved the path before you. As a white rapper myself, hopefully one day soon I can prove to anyone who cares about my music that my intentions are pure. ❤

Similar to how black people get scrutinized, denied and blocked from all kinds of spaces every single day due to institutional and systemic racism just because of the color of our skin? Funny how that works right?

i mean, if you're authentic thats fine. but if you're like lil mabu and pretending to be hood no shit ppl arent gonna like you. a lot of white rappers are super gimmicky

[@rogamer8665]

Fantano didn’t changed the score because of his death he’s changed his opinion on other albums before simply because he understands it better

[@Nyahami]

I believe he explained how listening to "circles" helped him understand the meaning of "swimming". I clearly understand how this particular exemple could be seen as someone trying to change their opinion to please more people, and maybe it is idk, but some people seem to not understand that you can just change your mind on stuff and it's ok.

[@4shodarealest602]
