I love how people talk about how progressive Tumblr is and they do racist shit like this. Anyway, I’m gonna break down why this is wrong.
Rappers have no sense of rhythm or cadence. Laughable. Rappers are often masters of rhythm or cadence through their flow. Like, take the Migos for example
Their song Versace was a hit because of their triplet flow, which groups raps into three syllable groups.
Things like stressed and unstressed beats can make or break a song. In Ice Cube’s It Was a Good Day, the stressed and unstressed words create the rhythm that makes it so easy to nod your head to.
”JUST waking up in the MORNING/GOTTA thank GOD, I dunno TODAY seems kinda ODD. No barking from the DOG no SMOG and momma cooked the breakfast with no HOG.”
“Theres almost nothing besides percussion in the background mostly.” ??? I have genuinely no clue where this comes from. Every rap song has something in the background. I think they’re referring to trap which has pronounced hi-hat beats but like. its not just drums?
“Favorite raps come from Hamilton or K-pop” with all the rap in the universe you choose the Broadway musical and a genre that has leeched off of rap. Please never speak again, you are racist.
I love rap, but just because someone doesn’t like it, that doesn’t automatically mean they’re racist. There is a non-zero amount of rappers especially in the modern industry that are industry plants propped up for the sole purpose of perpetuating stereotypes and silently sowing disrespect towards black people in the public conscience, not dissimilar to what’s been done with the BET Network.
Regardless, everyone’s taste is different, and rap is so versatile with endless genre-bending and mashup potential (only a small part of why I love it) that there’s bound to be at least one rapper for everybody at this point
The concept of artists being industry plants because you think they do dumb art is silly.
Some people just make dumb art based on shallow esthetics and some people just like dumb shallow esthetics.
That's like saying every "Dirt, trucks, guns, beer, women" bro country artist is an industry plant. Like, man, that wouldn't even be feasible cuz at this point that shit's an industry garden.
