I mean… he’s not lying? Lol but I don’t think that makes them any less black

I had a dude in 2008 tell me I wasn’t “real black” because I preferred Kanye, Cudi, Lupe, and OutKast over Young Money and… I don’t even remember, some local South Carolina rappers?
Mfs will find any reason to be divisive. Solidarity is a myth.

Maybe they just make music for people that don’t really fit into to what “black” is supposed to look and sound like. I know it resonates with me because I’ve always been an oddball.

Why do we have this conversation every 3 months. I guess Frank ocean doesn’t make music for Black people too? Who _does_? Because Travis Scott, ye, uzi, even J Cole and Kenny will have their concerts looking like the upper deck of the titanic. Gambino literally has a line about this very dumb assumption on the all of the lights remix. Alt Black people exist guys.

You dont *make* music for anyone but yourself. If you worried about fame or money or about which demographic you wanna speak to you’re gonna make music that is forgettable. Tyler and Glover makes music for THEMSELVES, they don’t deserve that hate at all.

I figured it out a long time ago. When someone says you aren’t black enough, it means that you don’t fit the same socioeconomic background as them. That socioeconomic background has an influence on a lot of cultural differences between rural, suburban and urban black people.

What we really need to be gatekeeping is all the nonblack hip hop artists who use our culture to make themselves rich without even speaking up on black issues. Both Tyler and DG have spoken up about black issues but mfs will rock with clowns like Lil Mabu, BLP Kosher, Yeat, etc. Let’s make 2024 the year we start kicking the vultures out the culture

the concept of american blackness comes from the white man. We should be against this entire thought process because it holds us back anyway

Kendrick’s all about that and everyone’s backing him

Rap and hip hop’s biggest demographic overall has always been white people since NWA.
Eventually you get older and realize mainstream rap is a minstrel show and learn to just like what you like.

I’ve been listening to both guys since 2011 and they’ve definitely changed their sounds and overall aesthetic to “fit in”

It’s fantastic that on Camp Gambino talked about people who hate him for not being “black enough” and that sometimes the culture can be hostile to people trying to break out of stereotypes and what’s expected of them…and STILL people dog on him for being “too white.”
You’re literally proving his point, jackass!
