You can not compare Macklemore to Kendrick. Macklemore won because he was more popular than Kendrick & received pop support. People from other genres are allowed to vote in rap categories. If you're a country singer & don't know much about rap music, & the only rap song you know is Thrift Shop, whose name are you checking on the ballad?

woo.

It is on purpose. My local pop station touches NO black Hip-Hop artists. They barely touched Drunk In Love. Never heard Kendrick played and they only touch Jay if Justin Timberlake is on the song with him.

they only ever used the solo version of E.T

I heard claims of Snoop being cut out of Cali Gurl

No one brings up PAYOLA but If the kids want to twerk its better if its an Iggy track not an Azealia track.

Ppl forget Pink came in the scene as an Urban artist, good album but radio wasnt here for that. Next album shes a superstar.

Yes, my local pop station only used E.T. solo. They used Kanye verse if they were in a good mood. And they cut Jay-Z out of Suit & Tie and tried to minimize his part in Holy Grail as well.

Might not be this way for everyone, of course. I'm speaking on what I heard.

Artists like Katy only use rappers to get a few spins on urban stations.

and the only reason that is there is because they refuse to play the version that is pushed everywhere else

No one was buying the Snoop-less version on itunes or the Juicy J-less one

It aint even that serious though

If you don't believe me. Then why is a white girl the face of twerking? When that's been around for 15+ years, & Beyoncé literally had a number one song about it.

Or Adele gets praised for singing literally Rhymth & Blues, like she invented it.

There are nothing wrong with white rappers. If you're going to be authentic like The Beastie Boys & Eminem then you're fine. Most white rappers are overrated & overexposed because of the color of their skin. No matter how good Eminem is he will always be overrated & overhyped, but a lot of people within the hip hop community look past that because he can actually spit. The problem comes when most consumers of hip hop music are white. White people whether consciously or subconsciously prefer artist more relatable to them. If you have an artist doing a "black" genre they'll get picked over the black artist, See: Elvis, Jerry Lewis, Bestie Boys, Vanilla Ice, Eminem, Iggy, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Backstreet Boys (Boys II Men clone), Britney (Janet clone), Adele, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera. White artist will get put on a platform easier than black artist. This article is spewing lies because if you look at the top rapper out, how many white rappers will be on the list. Trying to rewrite history & it isn't fair.

Facts. Only.

I don't see the correlation to skin color tbh.
If Miley was a black girl and did all that at the VMAs the GP's reaction would've been the same.
Her performance wasn't controversial because she was white but because it was a hot mess the way she was using that foam finger and grinding up against Robin.
Again anyone could've done that and still it would have been controversial as ****

Has nothing to do with the fact if twerking is a black or a white thing.

because pop music culture doesn't care about color. You'll never hear someone say black pop artists make better music than white pop artists or vice versa. Why hip/hop & rap still is like this is beyond me.

In Country music no one has made a big deal about black artist Darius R. They've embraced him as they do others.

Music is music. Shouldn't be based on color.

NOT when Darius Rucker has gone on record about the racism he faces from "traditional" country fans, especially via his Twitter feed.
