"the problem with black country artists"

In my opinion, if you can talk about Action Bronson and his niche, you can put Aesop Rock and Slug in that category. Aesop and Slug have been around longer, Slug built his record label, and Aesop is one of the most intricate wordsmiths. They both came out of the same underground movement as El-P. El-P didn't get a lot of recognition in the mainstream until he and Killer Mike formed Run the Jewels, which isn't even mentioned.

Interesting video. We reacted to this on Revolutionary Blackout Network and it was a great discussion. Thank you for this video essay.

For eminem i feel like he wasn't really accepted by the existing community but was able to get widespread success commercially due to the fact that he was more marketable to white people who is the vast majority of the US. The thing is with Eminem though is that he is actually talented which lead to the existing community start to slowly accept him over time. It is hard for white rappers especially in the early 2000s to get credit for how good they are from the existing hiphop community but was a lot easier to get credit from casually listeners and is why em has always done really well commercially

@nox2sweet

No disrespect, but I don't think I agree with the not accepted by the hip hop community as Em earned his stripes and respect in battle rap and had the backing of Dr. Dre early in his career, which could only come from people respecting him. But In regards to Eminem having talent, easily one of the greatest of the greatest to ever do it.

The same for tyler Herro. I like how jack also critiques his fans, who only likes him because he is a white guy that can rap because he doesnt want to he seen like that, he wants to be seen as a rapper and have the respect, but the court of public opinion doesnt care about that, the majority of the public will act according to socially acceptable things that's always how human society was and will be.

I think being able to relate to rappers is a huge factor, too. I listen to some german rappers and most if not all are a minority in germany I can relate to as someone who is an immigrant themselves. I can't listen to Cardi B when all she rap about is being rich. Macklemore is just not the culture I am in and Eminem is closer to what I went through as the only polish kid in school. I love Kendrick because he talks about shit I care about, and on and on. I love Nicki because she doesn't flaunt her wealth too much but disses rappers, I feel connected as a woman in rap to her. It's quite hard to explain, but I guess you could boil it down to: People with privilege will listen to people who rap about privilege.

Em was booed when he was starting over and over. He worked it all up, he swallowed all them embarrassment and anxiety. He was criticized because he was different. He didn’t fit into these

I’m saying this again I don’t hate Taylor Swift I’ve listened to some of her songs of her past album and enjoyed them but lyrical content isn’t subjective.

Maaaaan I had the same reaction when I heard what’s poppin 😂😂 Edit: Also I won’t lie, even as a black man, I never really cared about the privilege of another persons skin.

Awesome video. Honestly an awesome viewpoint of the subject, that while it's easy to notice the artistry of any race or genre its difficult to appreciate or notice the privilege of those groups as well. I will say a big part of this is also what people call mainstream or not. I think many of the names you mentioned enjoyed the current mainstream sound of their time and therefore played into it, meanwhile rappers like eminem make their sales off of the nostalgia points gained by "Em's classic sound". All of it just kinda culminates into people who rap for the fame and not for the game. All in all, great message, and yes, I think the rap scene is and will continue to level out especially after the 2016-19 era of rap. Influential rappers that brought rap to the mainstay genre it is today, rapping off the shoulders of giants from the 90's and 2000's. As a final note I'd like to throw one more rapper in the mix. Mike Shinoda of both Linkin Park and Fort Minor isn't readily considered a rapper, and considering the eventual genre position of Linkin Park, it makes sense, but I felt he really brought an artistry to rap and lyricsm, and grinded as much as any other to prove his place, and eventually found a sound that brought rap to an even further and wider audience without disrespecting the artistry of others. JayZ, who ended up doing the Encore remix of Numb with the group, has commented on Mike and his work before, commending it. And while a little corny to some, Mike's group Fort Minor made Remember The Name and other songs and albums that brought up many underground rappers but still became quite popular by way of just being good songs. Just a notable mention.

Eminem deserves everything he got imo. He went through it to get started and it took him 3 albums to really get going (slim shady lp) And as a black guy Eminem is my fav rapper of all time abd has some of my favourite albums if all time. But I ofc agree with the white America point, but I wouldn't credit all his success to him being white/having a white fan base. He has a very culturally diverse fan base and people like Kanye also now at least have a very very large white fan base aswell. And imo Eminem wasn't making "white hip hop" he was making hip hop for hip hop lovers, studying the great and inspiring future greats

He makes shit music, but culturally I personally think he's worthy of respect. He seems to parody Hip-Hop culture a bit, but he has collaborations with very prominent artists in his city like Fivio. Yeat is the only artist to emerge recently that simultaneously doesn't make terrible music and clearly respects the culture. I think Yeat is respected because he has a distinct sound, but also has clear influences. He's also innovating on trap music a LOT and that's why he's so popular and no one has said anything about him being white at all.

Instead of "white guys who rap", you should have called them "rappers who happen to be white". As you described El-P he puts being a rapper first and being white second.

Some of this stuff makes sense but as for Eminem. You can't claim he used "being white" as a booster for fame. Eminem respected the rap game and worked his way from the bottom. The reason Dre signed him rather than some other record label is, quote by Dre "everyone was racist against Eminem for being white and trying to join the rap community". They basically thought since he was white he didn't belong in the game. But Dre signed him and the rest is history.

Majority of the audience is white because whites are the majority race in the country. This was not true however back in the beginning stages of rap with biggie, pac, and even before that with ll cool j and etc. I think the overall point is that the genres general roots oughta be respected. As for white people supporting white rappers because they'er white, I don't think it should be like this at all actually.

Iggy could've gotten a pass in the rap community if she could actually rap well.

Good video

I think you made a lot of good points about the white rappers who cater to white people, successful white rappers having more success, etc. All of your points pertaining to the sad truth that there is a disparity between white and black rappers are spot on. However, rap (and music in general) shouldn't be color-gated at all. Music is about expression and feeling, and anybody who has the ability to make music should be able to make the music they want, regardless of their skin color, regardless of their struggles, or lack thereof. I do 100% agree that music that isn't genuine and authentic is objectively bad, but music is fluid, and ever changing, and doesn't care about color or status or anything like that. Idk if its because I'm in the metal scene, where artists of every color are accepted without question, as long as their talent is up to snuff (for the most part, we got some rotten eggs just like every community). I don't think the roots of a specific genre matters all that much, as long as the music and the artist is genuine. That genre is being used as a medium, its not an entity of itself. You should be able to use that medium to tell the story you want to tell without repercussions, especially because of skin color. Some of the best vocalists in the extreme metal genre are black and hispanic. They all had different lives, some had it easier, some had it harder, but they still tell the story they want to tell on a level playing field. Their lyrics and music are valid regardless of their lifestyle, their status, etc. and its always been weird to me how this is only really an issue in rap.

It’s weird, most of the time I listen to white rappers it sounds soo corny and almost off putting like it doesn’t feel authentic, but artists like suicide boys, Mac Miller, BROCKHAMPTON and some other white rappers I don’t mind because they aren’t trying to fit in. They’re doing something different instead of just rapping really fast. You have something else to focus on instead of they’re race. When I listen to them it’s never really my first thought what race they are but that they’re music is good. But listening to guys like Nf and Chris webby it’s so much more noticeable

I wouldn’t say that NF is a stereotypical white rapper. He is a great lyricist and he doesn’t try hard to fit in. He’s kind of in his own lane and his fine with that. I’m not saying you should like him but, he is definitely genuine with his music.

The Grammys might be a joke to you but they mean a lot to most musicians. So implying a single white rapper winning most of the Grammys for rap doesn't mean anything is like saying sitting in the front of the bus doesn't mean anything. After all, whether you sit in the front or the back, so long as you reach your destination, what does it matter?
