Hip hop is already being priced out of black peoples reach, tell me how many black kids can afford Drake, Cole or Kendrick tickets? One thing i honestly believe is that all these hip hop greats/gods/ legends we love, the Lauryn Hills, the Nas, the Mos and Kweli would have died relatively unknown if they came out anytime in the last 5 years, and that's a shame.

young marvie actually the tickets are NOT that high. I saw KDot in a smaller intimate venue for $80 a bigger arena show was $115 for decent seats. Saw Cole for $35 for lawn tickets at one show and then $185 for the better non VIP seats. Drake was the highest $80 and $285 for nosebleeds and floor seats. Kanye was $170 for floor seats in his last show Now compare that to some pop concerts $350 for Beyonce in MID range seats in a damn stadium. $90 just for the pleasure of being in the building and $1000 to be close. Or Bruno Mars who we spent an amount I still cant believe. Rap concerts are not that expensive. Just bought tickets to see Big Krit for $35. And I live in a major music market it’s cheaper in other places for tickets.

young marvie I go and see allot of what I consider the greats. I’m from Europe the tickets run me about 15€. Cats like Dilated people, Master Ace, Atmosphere Immortal Technique. Cats that are famous where always expensive it’s never been different. But they mostly the cats I like to avoid anyway. We have a recurring jam where I’ve seen allot of the 90,s legends for free at a block jam. They always have a graffiti wall up and a black&white floor for the b-boys.

D WG proving my point, true hip hop is now being dominated by the dudes who came out in the 90’s. Hip hops ability to recruit great talent has completely died. No one will ever do to hip hop what Nas or Rakim or KRS did to the movement.

This is why white rappers used to be taboo. This was always going to be the case once white people got in (see jazz for reference). And once record producers don't have to go to black people for the art, they won't.

TheRenegadeMonk have to blame black people for this, jazz has and will always be seen as black because it has a certain black swag to it that makes it impossible to perform with that which is white jazz artists also adopt a black swagger and the culture doesn’t get diluted, so decades later blacks can still enter the jazz world and it doesn’t seem weird, it’s just that mainstream black youth got bored of it, don’t forget jazz came way before rock and roll but culturally it’s still black, rock and roll it’s different because it was seen by whites as rebellious music so it fitted the attitude of the young white kid who is at odds with his parents but it was never influenced by black culture even when chuck berry was doing it, hip hop was and is more street culture than black culture.

"First" jazz album is Dixieland Jass band... Which is all white guys. That's New Orleans thought.... Due to French and Spanish influences on culture. Listen to classic Mexican instrumental music you'll pick up on elements of early jazz. Not saying John Coltrane or any other black contributor isn't important because Giant Steps is an amazing piece. There are still many black Jazz musicians today that contribute to jazz and they are just as amazing as every other contributor.... However, the progression of time and "that's my parents music" killed jazz's mainstream appeal.... Growing up I listened to a lot of punk and hardcore... You'd be surprised the lyrical content is almost identical to hip hop often with the genres never crossing. Let's look at Nervous breakdown by black flag and it's like that by Run DMC. Black flag Damaged is talking about personal struggle in a negative setting, as is Run DMC although they are more positive and uplifting. Both talk about struggle... Rock was almost exclusively multicultural... And here is why and how.... Carl Perkins was a hand on a farm who was taught to play blues by a black man. He used folk and country influence to help him establish he's own way of playing. Sources: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rundmc/itslikethat.html genius.com/Black-flag-nervous-breakdown-lyrics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Dixieland_Jass_Band www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1998-01-20-9801200159-story.html ( I have a book that says he learned to play guitar from a black farmhand) Also.....! Let's also not forget the massive part that Latin individuals played in the birth of hip hop.

My opinion on the white hiphop artists part: Its not a black or white thing, its a respect thing. If you respect the history and the culture of the music you're making then it shouldn't matter even if you're white and making music for white people. Respect those that helped pave the way for you and the music you like. But its clear that some don't and it's those that I consider vultures who deserve no respect from the culture they're biting.

xTDeckx it is a black thing though. Hip Hop was literally created by and for blacks (as well as latinoxs). It's alright if a white person appreciated hip hop but don't start acting like it isn't a black art form. This type of rhetoric is what leads to hip hop having a muddy identity and allowing white people to claim it as theirs.

Crazy how this whole video made excellent points, and yet ignored the biggest example of "hood pass" foolishness going today - Justin Bieber. We saw him as a teenage Canadian pop singer, watched him get rich, watched him dip his toes into hiphop culture for exposure, and yet no one has a problem with him being a part of the culture now, despite never really caring about rap music at all. All tatted up and singing hooks on I'm The One chilling at a McMansion music video shoot with DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne like they would normally just let this kid hang out with them and their supermodels. The same ignorance and lethargy that allows white people to support Trump and ignore all the bad shit, is the same for hip hop culture not standing up for itself and letting pretenders swoop in and take over. There are tons people who don't even know Post Malone is white because he sounds like everything else on rap radio, just like there are a ton of ignorant white Trump supporters who hate Obamacare and somehow still don't want to lose their ACA benefits as if it's a completely different thing.

The Icelandic people have a saying, "The guest's eye sees clearly". An outsider criticizing hiphop isn't necessarily walking into your house and throwing trash around, they might be calling you out on some shit you have in the corners or why the carpet smells like shit. There might be a history and a reason behind it and It's obviously disrespectful to some degree , nobody likes the guy that comes up to you and tells you that you're fat but depending on the situation, you might need to hear it. That shit in the corner might be an art piece you're proud of or just a pile of garbage you have long ago stopped noticing. In any case, it might be worth taking a look at the shit before deciding to kick the guest to the curb for messing up your house.

I might not agree with everything said in this video, but the way you broke down how losing net neutrality would affect the poor black community and may in turn hurt the culture is one of the best, most well-balanced arguments for why actually caring about always keeping the history and roots of hip-hop alive is so important. Whenever artists disrespect the past, rap legends, and the culture, like for instance Tyler, the Creator (in his early days), Lil' Yachty, and now Post Malone have done, it has always somewhat bothered me, but not really *that* much. Having watched this video, however, I'm realizing how this is potentially a rather serious issue, and even though I might still rock with Austin (Post Malone), I see why people within hip-hop like him with similar views are not good for culture and the future of it. In Austin's defense (kind of) though, he doesn't even seem to want to really be a part of hip-hop that way, but rather just make the _music_ that he likes and that influenced by what is popular, which rap/trap very much is nowadays, obvioisly. That could be why he is not really concerned about showing appreciation of the culture from which he's initially inspired. That doesn't necessarily excuse it, but it could be the reason why... Him saying the N-word is pretty much inexcusable though, whatever the context. All in all, this was yet another very interesting and thought-provoking TBD, Justin - as usual. Saturday is always a good day when I see 'TheCompanyMan' in my feed. Keep dropping that knowledge, wisdom, and understanding!

Honestly, if not for the fact that the average rap listener is a suburban white male, there'd probably be more repercussions for disrespecting the culture while continuing to make money from it. I honestly think that's why Lil Uzi Vert do rap while being a "rock star" and that's somehow ok; he doesn't have to like Primo, but to disregard the label of rapper, while rapping for money is a problem no matter who does it. That said, when a white person does the same thing, it's more problematic because it's not just a single white person. It's not just rappers. White label execs have been trying to make rap "more relatable" (less black) for years!

I've watched this video four or five times now... First off, I'm glad you brought up the Vanilla Ice story. He was CRUCIFIED for doing what almost EVERY rapper does no matter what race... And that's lie about street cred. He actually just got featured on a song recently with another rapper with sketchy street cred, Rick Ross called "Vanilla Sprite (Remix)". You can check it out on KZbin. But anyways... As a White Hip-Hop fan that goes back to the early 80's with artists like The Fat Boys, Whodini, Run-DMC, etc... I've never really cared about what race an MC was. I even purchased albums from early Latino MC's like Kid Frost and Mellow Man Ace. I enjoyed the diversity in the actual music, stories, lyrical talents, etc... But most importantly respected the culture. That's where a lot of these newer artists are getting it wrong. I don't recall Fallout Boy ever criticizing classic Rock artists, just because they were the new thing. Could you imagine the backlash if they said Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, etc... were trash?!?!? Yet we let these new kids come in and disrespect everything about Hip-Hop culture. Iggy Azalea got the Vanilla Ice treatment and deserved it. I think it's time Post and any other newer artists (White, Black, Latino, Asian, etc) that disrespect the culture and it's history get the same.

Hip Hop is exactly the same as Jazz. The history is the same, we are watching it in real time. In 40 more years there'll be a debate on whether or not hip hop is "black" music. Hip hop will die in obscurity because there will be NO community to support it. And of course there will be something new to replace it.

I dont say i could feel equally like "you guys" about this scary development (in my opinion), but i also grew up on little bits of black/african culture through the music and lyrics of so many outstanding artists and to have all this be for nothing because rappers wanna water themselves and thus the culture down to be more succesfull would be devasting and sad to say the least.

Hip-hop diverging from Black Culture is inevitable in a country where they are a major minority (13% I think?) This is less about whether or not that's bad. When it does happen, what if someone controls whether or not Black Culture(or anything new) can be throttled to prevent the next creative outlet or big business idea to protect whats established.

I always learn from you. And I agree, albeit to an extent. It's something I've been thinking about lately especially in this age of the Lil' Yatchys and Young Thugs, if I want hiphop with greater substance I often have to look for someone like G-Eazy (weird right?). What's even weirder is that it's not just new non-black acts that disrespect the art of hiphop, even the new black "rappers" (i.e Lil' Yatchys) do it too. Heck, even Vince Staples said what he said about the 90's era of hiphop back in the day. Asian rappers? I just can't get over the fact that they exist at all considering the fact that much of Asia is and will remain very anti-black for a long time. TBH I'm just glad that hiphop has still got the Kendrick Lamar's, J. Cole's, Joey Badass's etc. They give me a little glimmer of hope for the future of the genre. I remain skeptical about any new rappers with multi-coloured dreads rapping about lean and xans and dead friends and all that other bullshit.

I think that is African Americans do get pushed out of hip-hop that maybe it will be possibly like other genres of music where they kind of created something new. They were in rock and roll and then they kind of got pushed out but then we had hip hop and Jazz and other forms of music that I reckon Americans were still prevalent in. When they kind of got pushed in the Jazz they moved it into more like Smooth Jazz like they moved into a different forms, so I wouldn't think that it would be necessarily over for African Americans they would still be some people who linger and that genre but I do think that as a culture we would move on to something else

An epic 16min episode where you talk about Asia (Oh hell yeah) Net Neutrality (OH HELL YEAH) and top it all off with culture vultures. Where to start..... Based on what I have seen in Asia over the past 5 years, I can defiantly say thats market is going to blow up. I was just in China and the way they have allowed their own ecosystems to bloom blows my mind. They have created an environment where if you culture an idea right then it has potential to blow up and I can see that spilling over to the US. Net Neutrality going away is the biggest threat to future economies and innovation as well as not just the proliferation of ideas and music, but the ability to leverage an unrestricted medium to communicate with a larger audience. Allowing the FCC to get away with dismantling the underlying concepts the internet was built on is going to do far more damage, world wide damage, than it could possibly ever benefit the select few companies that are going to destroy the digital future for financial game. On the culture vulture note.... Post Malone is just a douche anyway, I've never found him interesting, I am ready for him to go away.

China is a massive market. 1.4 billion people. That is almost 5 times the population of the US. I used to always think their great firewall and internet restrictions were primarily to control data, but after my last visit I am convinced the main reason was to create an environment where home grown tech companies can thrive. Companies like Tencent that have the largest content distribution network in China and control multiple verticals are a shining example of that. Huawei who is a dominate player in the smartphone space across asia as well as telecom access hardware is another. I think the fact that VPNs even work in China to access the outside internet show that, they just want to make it inconvenient to access services outside China, not impossible, that gives their native platforms an advantage. And to be honest, in some cases the native platforms out perform US built ones.

Just my two cents: Charlemagne acts like an annoying asshole and a straight up bigot a lot of the time. Post has definitely said some stuff that gives me pause, he seems like a guy that means well but doesn't really think through what he's saying all the time. Reverse racism doesn't exist it's just racism no matter who it's from or who it's directed to. Final thought and main idea: Hiphop has spent the last couple of decades becoming the biggest genre in America and as such the kids of the 90s and forward have grown up with it, generally as a large part of their listening habits, regardless of race. If they love the music it becomes a part of them, takes on personal meaning. Rappers have assumed all of the mystique that rockstars used to have in the eyes of the public. So when those kids decide to express themselves through music, it tends to be something related to hiphop that comes out. they don't form garage bands like they used to, they rap, they become producers.

Kendrick Lamar TPAB I bought 4 copies, went to Kunta Groove Sessions, and got the VIP Pass that came with the vinyl, merch, and meet & greet. Never opened any of it and steamed TPAB so many times it came out two buying the album twice. With marketing and money involved in hip-hop it won't make underground artists get bigger or even influence music. Kendrick Lamar is a great example. Most people are not as heavily invested in music therefore they'll take what's given to them and fits the background of their life. Throwing money at artists doesn't help much when a machine is behind someone else.
