And yea, mainstream rap might not be a total representation of black culture but it's still a part of it and it's still used by white people to gain some google search hits a la Miley Cyrus. And then they abuse, call it "dead", want to get rid of it & then throw it all back on black people & white people take none of the criticism. when Miley is done with her black phase she can win back the soccer moms and go on with her white life while black people will still be used as the scapegoat for criticism. it'll always land in our hands as our fault & our culture even if it is a watered down version of it. |
People did care when rock was on top and had ****ty chicks and video vixens in the 80s
And I agree with you, white ppl are a mess and exploit black culture and then dump it. But Lily isn't criticizing all of black culture, or even hip hop culture. She's collaborated with Common and T-Pain, she loves hip hop. She's criticizing the small pop rap music video sphere where white businessmen exploit young black girls for profit.
It's 2013, not 1413 
Kelly and Paulina don't deserve this cruel fate.
