Jazz and R&B aren't out of the door though. Black people just don't take them as seriously as they used to. People love pushing this rhetoric about white people taking our artforms away from us, but it's not true, we just abandon shit. There are plenty of black jazz artists out their making music. Younger blacks just don't listen to it.

That's what he is saying tho. It takes dedication to be a musician and rap is pretty easy if you think about it, and most people like taking the easy route

True, but I think the problem is less with rappers and more with the machine that pushes certain artforms and the listeners. A lot of niggas won't even give certain musical forms a chance because of stigmas. Black people should be down to support damn near any form of American music because it was all ours at some point.
