[@LeonaHeart]

Girl! I can’t understand how he thought this was not going to offend his hip hop fans? What was the point of this announcement? Lol. I think it was more like “I made a rap song, but don’t mistreat me in any other way ways you do other rappers. But you can give me the perks you give other rappers!” Lol!

[@cocoochwada9371]

Girl yes. He knew he wasn't beating Taylor Swift so of course now he comes back to our side of the park to steal a plate from the cook out. Like, GTFO, dude.

[@VConley]

He really crashed out and then went ahead and said “nah, I want this hip-hop Grammy, or die trying”

[@lanitagoins1238]

We need to do just like Country did Beyonce. They said she needs to be a part of the culture for a while until she can be included in that culture. Yeah, that one we started too. WOW SMDH

[@Halucidnate]

If he gets nominated, that sends a message to the hip hop community on where the grammys stand. That they dont understand the culture and are not attempting to keep a magnifying glass on the cultural standards.

[@Halucidnate]

Hip hop is consistently used by guests as a kickstarter whose true destination is in pop. We have to stop giving them money, attention, and overall support only to be used as a launchpad.

[@efef6853]

They gave Macklemore an award over Kendrick, so we know how the Grammys operate. The Grammys have no respect for BLACK people or BLACK culture, any time they get an opportunity to rob BLACK people, they will do it.

@gianttv8804 i wanted to set the record straight that even when the industry at large was on T-Pain's side, but the fans were toxic enough to make him conceal his identity anyway.

[@cocoochwada9371]

He sure did. He said it on Club Shay shay's live in Vegas AND on the 85 South show.

[@Novanity_Breezy]

I want to know your thoughts on Aks' live reaction to Kendrick's interview with SZA. He made jokes about the track "Mother I Sober" and seemed to find humor in the topic of sexual assault, claiming it was funny to joke about because it didn't happen to Kendrick. His chat responded with, "Okay, he's joking," as if that made it better. It's concerning that he feels comfortable enough on the Internet to joke about such serious subjects..

[@ReginaMcGhee]

Excellent discussion! I’m 53 years old going backwards educating myself on hip hop thanks to my husband and this is accurate. Plus you’re one of my favs Mr. King! Keep telling the truth!

[@bruceleeroy7255]

[@Jacqueal]

Beyoncé gets pushback by Country gatekeepers for recording a Country song. Yet this dude is allowed to participate in a genre that he's NOT performing.

[@taco_2unesday]

Miley used hip hop to change the “child star” narrative to add some edge to her because everyone was looking at her as Hannah Montana during that time.

[@bribro23]

But she never claimed to be part of the culture, she didn’t change her music frfr. She was & still is a singer. She used a fake aesthetic because if she didn’t they would have never let her blossom into the grown women image she has now. I do think a lot of ppl do fall into hip hop as it’s the opposite of what she did

[@taco_2unesday]

@@bribro23so you disagreed with me to say exactly what I said but in different words..she didn’t outright say she was hip hop but everything she did was suggestive of the sentiment even down to the fake relationship with Mike Will her look and even her music features was hip hop adjacent. She needed hip hop to break the stigma of the wholesome Disney star, once you go hip hop you lose your innocence if you’re Miley.

[@Artsyjjc]

10:23 yeah that about sums it up. Coming in with a general lack of understanding + reaching that “ceiling”is why they feel “boxed in.” As if innovation doesn’t exist in the genre (historically even)

As a hip hop fan, I never really thought about post as part of the culture and definitely not the artist in question whatever his name is. And you’re definitely right as far as “us” not being welcomed into their house.

[@coachp7849]

What does “melodic rap performance” even mean? All music is melodic by nature. Wild

[@LeonaHeart]

Lol! I think it means like a Rap performance with singing on it, or melodic rapping style where it’s rapping that’s almost like singing. A lot of the previous winners were a rapper and a singing combination.

[@Docmatema]

Think Old Kanye and old Drake

[@LeonaHeart]

@@Docmatema Agreed. Lol.

[@TheBarryHarrison]

Something similar to "Hot In Herre" by Nelly - a rap song with melodic notes in the rap itself, sounding more like singing.

[@jenaskumbi]

They wanna benefit from the culture of hip hop but simultaneously dissociate themselves from it? Like… cmon bro. Make it make sense.

[@jpzsounds1677]

If we make and control the music we should have a definitive say in how it is awarded. Plain and simple

[@B-Chill76]

Zimmerman is still around.

[@KitchenLivinwithShay]

Respectfully, I think Pink would've been a better point of reference. I totally took Miley's stint with hip-hop as a rebellion against her own culture. Doesn't make it ok, but to me, she was clearly spiraling during that time.

[@bshawlab]

They talking about what’s on the radio and what’s put out on main stream, they not talking about all the millions of artists who are underground spitting real quality lyrics which makes the bigger point that we have to stop promoting the lesser. We have to promote music with a message but we keep bigging up the foolishness

[@KhayJayArt]

Did NO ONE learn from Drake being called a culture vulture and a colonizer for the last couple of months??!

[@bribro23]

Well cool, he don’t have to be a hip hop artist………….. but he gets NO RECOGNITION from the hip hop/rap/ r & b space. He gets no plays or push. Treat him how the country stations treated Beyoncé

[@outsidethebox3185]

I'm not upset with anybody except the community as soon as I saw that he was white I backed up, is it me or did it seem like it was hard to find a photo of him to represent this song then boom it's this white guy. We hear a catchy song and no investigation happens past that or WE'RE others RESEARCHING.

[@DandyAnnieTime]

We're about to find out if "I'm not hip-hop" combos into "I'd like a hop-hop award."🤞Here's hoping it doesn't!

[@bobbytropo2314]

Lol if he’s not hip hop I wonder where he learned about “repping a set” and why he felt it was appropriate for him to reference repping a set in his song.

[@tiggarai7591]

This was a great piece and yes we need to be aware of these moves

[@EANDM71]

It’s a set up to take away Kendrick’s Grammy. Another Macklemore situation. Watch.

Yeah Miley was never hip hop, very pop. Her comments was unacceptable. She already had traction before it. Why no one talk about Kid Rock loser nazz? He use heavy hip hop to get popular

[@TroubleKofLLE]

I aint gon lie to u fam, a big part of me is hoping they drop the ball on that Kendrick grammy, just so it'll be more transparent for the people of our culture to know that these people don't really rock wit us like the claim. All im saying is don't hold your breath come February/March

[@iAquarius202]

They did that already with Kendrick and Macklemore.

[@robhillva]

Post is wave hopping. He was hip hop when it was the #1 genre. Now country music is on the rise and he is now country. He is the white Drake.

[@balltillyoufall1773]

After post Malone was questioned about him being a country singer to his success in hip hop with white iverson and his collaboration with the migos he said that he switch to hip hop was because he was let go from the country music and told he couldn’t make it as a country artist so he chose to sing and rap to hip hop music to get back at those in country music that said he couldn’t make it. So he definitely is a culture vulture as well !
