    How many white rappers are grossing and filling up more arenas than Cole and Kendrick and Hov? Outside of Em none of the other white rappers are at that point right now. At the end of the day regardless of the current state of the charts it is much harder to be a mainstream white rapper and stay. It is a constant turnstile for the more part.

    The other interesting thing is how are you going to boldly speak out about an issue then delete that statement right after. Not to mention this is the same female rapper that has whitened her face on album covers and models herself after a white doll.

    She deleted the post? You're right, there is nothing really memorable about any of the major white rappers out right here. Even Eminem. Has there ever been a point when this was different?

    I'm wondering if any old heads in here remember Jon B and when he came out, was he seen at the same level as white rappers?

    I agree with you that this is primarily true but what about semi-underground rappers like bones & suicide boys?
    Even if you don't like their music, who would you say their sound is copying?

    It does seem as if most white rappers lack the soul of their local culture though - like if you hear someone rapping from L.A. or NY, it's obvious. But this doesn't necessarily apply to white artists. Damn maybe the only arguable way that was made was when Cage made the slim shady persona and eminem stole it.

    Agree 100%.
    If there are no black artists for whites to copy off or for the genuine ones to be inspired by, there is no rap, period. Itll just eventually turn into some other off brand ? .

    But if ur a genuine white rapper with skill and respect for the art u generally get respect back.

    I just said this about 2 weeks ago and made a thread about these vultures, Ebro said it best this music is the most popular most stream etc these devils don’t wanna see and hear us everywhere so they trying to change the complexion of the artist on us, stay woke.

    The bigger evil are not white artists like Macklemore or Post or G Easy. The bigger evil are ? dancing on tables at epic records. This ? been going on for years. Vanilla Ice was popping and then you had the white pop boy bands that had the hip hop flair biting from urban black culture. You have had the frat rap guys 10 years ago who are all missing (asher roth, mac miller, sammy adams. Now white rappers who are really just spitting on the mic with slightly more charisma and flair that are becoming hot 100 famous but don't have tours or albums that are selling that well.

    Here’s the problem. Black artists and execs became too inclusive and now they don’t even own their own music, lmao. So much for holding hands and unity. Business first. Oh, and Nicki’s a joke.

    Huh?

    Im sayin white people buy music. And white people support white rappers.

    Maybe the numbers would look different if rap fans stopped stealing all their music.

    But we all know rap fans are the worst

    I was saying what do you mean by Rap Godfather, and I'm referencing people like Michael Knight & Kareem Biggs.
    I misunderstood you though.

    White people support what's trendy. For along time white people did not support white rappers, and a large percentage still don't. For a lot of white people it's just a tool to party with no substance to it and an excuse to act ignorant.

    Isn't it funny how Nicki Minaj only seems to care about racism and sexism when it affects her? she can't get a release date or a hit song

    fixed when the first few albums were big and she had hits not one tweet about ? this petty. Now all of a sudden she is trying to be shea butter twitter woke since her singles have came and went and stunna ain't give her a release date. All while Cardi B is getting the spotlight she used to have.
