Hey Myke. Wouldn't you say that it's easier to maintain a long distance relationship now than say 10 or 15 years ago? Communication tools are far more advanced, travel is cheaper than it once was (especially with the advent of budget airlines) and working or studying internationally is much more commonplace. Not suggesting that it would be straightforward and the two parties would need to be working towards addressing the long distance aspect. But it can work if the two are committed enough to the relationship.

I really don't understand what it means to be a guest in Hip-Hop, when that person is just as permanent, has the same rights and shouldn't be treated differently, what is the point in giving that person a different status? Furthermore, it seems ridiculous that a person like El-P who is one of the most important hip-hop artists right now, would be a guest, but a black person, who would make 1 track and get a hit and then he would quit rap, would not be a guest, just because he's black, that just sounds racist, which is very confusing to me, because I know you're not racist.

@mykectown

9 жыл бұрын

LordJapos Acknowledging that you're a guest in the house of hip hop is simply showing respect for the people who came before you. The people who were ridiculed, ignored or put down because they believed in this art form. It's showing that you understand the history of where it came from. That it was a way for black and brown people to get things off their chest, to be a diversion from the daily hardships they may have been going through or to simply talk to other black and brown people all over about what was going on in their particular neighborhood. It was never created for white people to make joke songs mocking the black struggle (Lil Dicky). As to your El-P comment, look, in this house of hip hop we have a VERY large family. Unfortunately, we can't control who belongs to that family. You have Uncle Bobby who drops knowledge all on you all day about how you need to get your life together (KRS) then you may have Cousin Pookie who shows up drunk every reunion and starts dumb ass fights (Chief Keef). Both of them are still family. You may have grown up with Brad around the house from childhood. Everyone loves Brad and acknowledges that he belongs there. Brad is family, but not by blood. At the end of the day, he's still a guest. It's not his house. As far as that being racist, I think you may wanna analyze what being racist means. This has absolutely nothing to do with one race being superior over another. It's a simple acknowledgement of history. Even though I know you weren't particularly calling me racist, you should really be careful about how you go throwing that word around. It'll make it very hard for you to prove real cases of racism when they actually arise. Lastly, what is the point of giving that person a different status? I agree with you. None. I wouldn't even bring it up, because I don't think it matters. However, if someone else chooses to bring it up, I will be honest and say I agree. I think the fundamental point Jamar was making would be agreed upon by most people. What they disagree with is his jackassed use of it to isolate and alienate other people.

I will do my best to not use the term that loosely in the future. But again, thank you for educating me.

Are white people guests in rock music, since rock was invented by black people for black people? ;-) I have reserve about this topic. I understand people who say "let's NOT forget the roots of hip hop, guys, it was a culture of struggling". But identity is also deeply rooted in psychology, and how that interacts with whatever culture people have been exposed to since early childhood. It's kind of a debate where ethics and science clash, like denying kids their identification with hip hop culture from watching KZread videos, because they didn't live in a certain context in a certain town: I'm not sure that is scientifically correct. The identification to hip hop might not be the same between the kids watching KZread at home, and the kids living with no TV in ghetto, but both will experience identification, even if one is merely a Plato's Cave form of identification. Kwame Anthony Appiah wrote a good book called The Ethics Of Identity, which affirms the individual nature of culture in a cosmopolitanist context (that is: the argument that urban culture is getting too mixed up that we can put anyone living in a large city into a specific cultural bag anymore). I must say that as an african he's been heavily criticized as "anti-african" because he is suspicious of some aspects of afrocentrism. I think the white hip hop artist of the today is not the same as around the times of Vanilla Ice or even Marky Mark (lol). Many white rappers today are not artists merely jumping on a trend, but people who've been into the music since a very early age, at a time when in fact lyrics in hip hop shifted from being about the "big black struggle" to being about struggling in an environment of street gangs, a reality that whites living in poverty could know. A reality which doesn't imply better hip hop: a total outsider can't make greater hip hop (weren't Portishead great from "stealing" hip hop?), but I just think there is "outsider" and "outsider", and that Lord Jamar shouldn't define someone's culture unless he's been in the shoes they wore at 5 years old. Are you supposed to listen to Queen or AC/DC because you're white? "Hell's Bell.. na nana nah, nana nah, nana nahh, Hell's Bells.. Woo!"

While that was an interesting and well-written comment, it's not really what I'm talking about. Nothing I said has anything to do with the motivations or intentions of white rappers. It's very simply about how hip hop was created and who it was created for. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. All that other stuff about how whites identify with it, doesn't matter. At the end of the day, hip hop was originally created as a way for black and brown people to express themselves. White people using that artform to express themselves is awesome and welcomed. But, essentially, they're still using it for something that it was not originally intended. Does that make them rapping wrong? Absolutely not. I'm not saying that nor would I ever. But the house of hip hop was built on the backs of minorities. Whites walked in that house, enjoyed the decor and made themselves at home. Now we all see them as parts of that house, but, in the end, it's still our (black people's) house.

Myke C-Town What you describe is a scenario of appropriation. Nobody was invited in this house, people just walked in. Someone once said on Twitter that appropriation is stealing, and assimilation is effacing. When you appropriate culturally, you already have a strong cultural background, and you just come and take into another culture what suits you. When you assimilate, you absorb so much of another culture that you have nothing else but this absorbed culture. The term "guest" sounds to me as meaning "appropriation", and to accuse all non-black hip hop as appropriative I find is coming from a flawed understanding of how culture works. Culture is not biologically inherited. Lord Jamar says that americans are "guests" of UK culture for talking english. Jacques Lacan is turning in his grave. Cultural identity at an individual level is a process a little more complex than about motivations and intentions. It's also a psychological process of absorbing your surroundings since early childhood. It's about the formation of a language, which is not just words and speech, but a cognitive process where you direct environment begins to make sense. If you throw a white baby in Kenya, and he lives all his life among kenyans, speak nothing else than swahili, than you might have the kenyans never recognize the baby as a kenyan because of the color of his skin, but his identity and culture will be truly kenyan. Or more like a struggling kenyan, who feels a lot of pain that others consider him a stranger. To deny him his nature as kenyan would simply be a question of racism. Americans have not chosen english as their first language, and are not "guests" in UK culture for talking it. They simply bifurcated from UK culture and developed their own culture/identity in the long run, which has UK history in ascendency, and elements borrowed like Thanksgiving, but also has evolved into something of its own and distinct. Proof? Thanksgiving is not part of UK culture anymore, and in fact most people have completely forgotten the reason and historical context behind Thanksgiving. Likewise, Hip Hop will always be a music invented by black for blacks, that's the origin, but people like Lord Jamar are understandably freaking out, because they fear that people one day will forget the original context of hip hop, like they did for rock music or Thanksgiving. But history and cultural identity are two different things. You can want people to teach forever the truth behind hip hop's origins, the reasons why it was invented: those will never change (DJ Kool Herc certainly wouldn't support the use of Hip Hop as creating divisions: he said that the reason for hip hop and the dance that came with it, was for black people of different gangs to stop fighting in the Bronx and join together, which is not how it turned out with gangsta. He also said that he was surprised to see whites at his early parties, and that it made him realise "funk has no color".). But history itself is a-changing, it's not a status quo. Hip hop is not a music of the Bronx anymore. And while black americans want to believe it's still predominently a black american culture, there is a tremendous amount of hip hop music created worldwide that is completely ignored (for the moment). All that hip hop from Macedonia, Malaysia, Salavador, Gambia, you name it, is completely oblivious to the american context. Are brazilian kids rapping about violence in favelas "guests" in hip hop for not being black american and having experienced living as black in USA? I'm talking "kids" still in the psychological process of forming an identity. I believe there are legit in calling their version of hip hop their own turf. First, nobody invited them anywhere. Lord Jamar would rather that they keep on recording bossa nova. Secundo, people are not moss. They take influences, but create new culture with it, and that culture breeds new identities, etc.. It's an evolving system. And in the context of favelas kids, maybe they have no other culture, maybe they have assimilated hip hop to a degree where there is simply no other culture but this new mix hip hop and the culture of their parents. Hip hop these days "comes into your house" when you are a child. It's as brainwashing as any religion. A lot of people were never invited to it the same way I was when I CHOSE to listen to hip hop. The american white rapper cannot clone black american rap if forcefully he has so little anything to do with hip hop culture (as Lord Jamar would like to believe), so I guess he's mixing something coming from elsewhere, since people cannot "not have culture" (irony being that hip hop started as appropriating other music). Thus the object the white rapper is creating, is new culture. The "white stealing from hip hop" culture, if you will. If it's not conventional culture, then it's assimilation, or appropriation, or avant-garde, but it's always new culture. Are black americans "guests" of white american culture for bringing english poetry into hip hop? No, they created new culture with it. For whatever purposes. But purposes for creating culture change, and the continuum of new culture makes history move along with it. Rather than "guests in a house", I prefer the image of hip hop as a tree which started in black american culture, but new branches and new seeds are keep adding to it, and I don't think branches started by non-black are artificial, and you can't be a guest to something that gave birth to you.
