Are Rappers today afraid to Piss off the White Man?

[DatNiggaB1]

When you get outkasted by the white media it affects your career. Kanye prime example. But he don't give a shit which is something I love.

 

[Focal Point]

Kanye not afraid

Lupe not afraid

Rozay not afraid

Waka not afraid

Cube not afraid

 

[dj expanium]

Wacka Flocka is only concerned about making money, and he's getting used just for that.

We don't have those fierce, bold, uncaged artists like a Chuck D, ICe Cube, 2Pacalypse Now 2Pac in the mainstream/commercial arena today. All these current rappers fall prey to the industry.

Exactly. Alotta these rappers today act like these white folks are the gatekeepers of hip-hop because they supposedly are the only ones buying albums. I applaud kanye for what he's doing. These rappers need to realize that no matter how much you sellout to appeal to the white audience, they are not gonna support you the way they do Eminem.

 

[dj expanium]

Eminem is Not Afraid.

He can't sing either...forget what Shadyteam says!!!!!

 

[StillDreaming]

Eminem is Not Afraid.

He has no reason to be. Em can rap about serial murder, anal rape, and big Weenies and still be applauded and rewarded by the white audience. Em is the WHITE MAN.

If the white people are the ones buying the albums and writing the checks id wanna avoid pissing them off too but if im trying to make money off of hiphop but if im trying to get a message accross, fuck em.

sMH @ these things being treated as mutually exclusive in most cases in today's climate.

 

[P. Town]

Oh, so niggas are still calling rappers sellouts..original

So basically as long as white folks is writing the checks its OK to disgrace the culture and music to appease them? I miss the days where this BLACK music spoke to and was PRIMARILY influenced by the BLACK experience in America. I understand that hip-hop has always had "sellouts" per se, but now most everybody is on the hunt for a "hit" single that will get their music into the hands of a white audience. Maybe hip-hop has grown so much that it has lost touch with the ppl that it once used to represent.

Of course, most Rappers today are coons Ye is the only rapper(mainstream) that seems to be talking about anything worth a damn. tha rest are coonan lift and right. like Jay Z, who now jumping all on Ye's nuts dickrider just like Nas said.

 

[H-Rap 180]

Some artists have mastered the art of shittin' on 'em in subtle ways and Kanye West is one of those artists...he's the son of a Panther.

If Kanye wants to have an album-cover with his drop-out Bear having his dick rode by a naked white-phoenix chick Im laughin' my Black ass off.

If Kanye wants to have a table full of Black folks being served by white folks in his "Runaway" video Im laughin' my Black ass off.

If Kanye wants to use Taylor Swift dolls in his "Monster" video Im laughin' my Black ass off.

The trick is to do the shit somewhat subliminally so white folks wont know what you doin' and you can say its not what it is when it really is.

Let me ask you this, if you found a market for white rednecks jumping around on stage and acting like rednecks, and you knew white people would pay big money to see that shit now you had the white folks, and you had the act, and you had the funding, would you not cash in on that? you would be a fool not too, yea white people will probably be mad at you for making there people publically look like baffoons but at the same time there watching and paying money for the shit right? so would you then (and be totally honest) say to yourself, I cant do this to those precious white people and there white culture.
