He literally changed the way he speaks in interviews lol

My only disagreement is that it comes with the game of being the top genre

Nah, he's 100% right

You are looking too much into what you perceive his motives are

Or switch genres

I’m not saying he can’t make the music…

Bc there is a rapper starter pack

He boiled being black down to a costume

So its inherently going to get co-opted

It’s the whole thing. The grills, the way he was dressing, it was literally a “Hood Black Guy” starter pack. He got famous and now he dresses like a beach bum

It's the culture

Nigga its not a complex gripe lmao you're just not responding to the counter argument that it's no longer a sub-culture

EYE just feel like part of being the top genre is that people are going to use that to get popping

Still not getting my gripe

Transformative music is one thing; what Post Malone and Miley Cyrus and a lot of other artists did isn't that

I don't think it is uncommon for artists to start in one genre and switch to another

so would u equate Macklemore to Post Malone?

Macklemore is just a corny culture vulture. Post Malone is worse

doesn't Macklemore have a song called White Privilege

The issue is his imitation of Black culture to get famous then immediately shedding all of that imitation once being famous

so would u equate Macklemore to Post Malone?

The issue isn’t Post Malone making Black-coded music

wait

I think I do because I had the same one

Agreed

But it was still sold so at that point, cultural gatekeeping is pointless

I feel like you not understanding my gripe here lol

Now we can have a real talk about who sold it (it wasn't black people)

Once it's for sale, its for sale

We're all in agreement with what happened. My only point is that you can't be both the top genre and a genre that's reserved for a sub-culture

I wonder how Allen Iverson feel about that

Once ya the top shit, ofc people from other genre are going to dabble in it

Like the cultural gatekeeping with Beyonce? I've seen some vile shit on Facebook about her.

Once he got famous, he took the grill out and went back to his preferred style
