It exists in every genre though. That's what bothers me. People act like these people don't exist in other genres when they do.

Hmm... show me a vocal jazz artist that's waving around guns and wads of cash while singing about slapping bitches around.

Total stereotype of hip hop, but bear with me.

My point is that it's not quite realistic to pretend hip hop doesn't have an unfortunate element to it - which lazy people who don't know what they're talking about then use to paint a negative image of the whole genre.

It's like how folk metal bands struggle with accusations of white nationalism because some folk metal bands use such imagery and more or less openly peddle such beliefs.

It's not like these percetions of these music genres are based on nothing, but that also doesn't mean they are in any way fair to apply broadly.

All genres and all races make some shi*tty music in one form or another. Call them all out. Go make threads dedicated to them specifically, like OP did here. Don't just sit there shrugging and complaining.

Not true. He called them both half literate. With Cardi, I can understand that, but Nikki has done nothing to ever make anybody think she's half literate. The assumption comes off as bigoted. Maybe not towards race, but at the very least towards hip hop culture if not african american culture.

Hell, even with Cardi B. She sounds bilingual, like English isn't her first language. I grew up, and still live, in a place that's a 3rd Latin/Hispanic. That's how many of the kids I went to school with talked.

As for being trash rappers, now look, I know Minaj is known for her Anaconda bull****, but she came in the game as a spitter. Her whole verse on Monster destroys your white victim complex boy, Tom MacDonald's whole career.

I only know Nicki for a few of her most annoying hits. That Annaconda thing being one.

I haven't made anything up, thanks.

I agree that Tom MacDonald isn't very good at rapping. But his content raises eyebrows, so I posted it.

The best that I've heard Nicki Minaj spit was on "Young Money Salute."

Skip to the 2:36 mark.

Bullsh*t. You got caught redhanded lying and you're stil trying to snake your way out of it because your ego can't handle being wrong about anything. I'm not the only one who called you out on it in this thread. Your d*ck riders hold no sway with me. Facts are facts, chrissy.

Frownland

The perspective is appreciated. I feel I've made my case well here, if you can't see adidasss's blatant racism then I don't know what to say.

Quit with the stupid chrissy ****.

In my 14+ year tenure [I only mention that becuase it makes you happy in your no-no area], adidasss has been one of the most level-headed and [most definitely] non-racist members that I have come across. And you're talking to someone who used to argue for days on end with him about his homosexuality when I was a Bible thumper.

And I like calling you chrissy. You can call me by my real name, "Donald." You know, just like your favorite member Chula and your favorite President
