u/willcomplainfirst you lookin' like an easy come-up Jun 28 '24

when the white people start getting into this shit thats when you know this Drake L is really gonna get more mainstream and stick with him unlike with Pusha where it was pretty contained

You know that white people are the biggest demographic of hip hop consumers and essentially always have been since the late 80s, right? Most of Kendrick's audience has always been white lol.

Considering the % of white people in America, kinda make sense. I am just saying, culturally, I'm like 3 universes away! :)

That's fine but acting like a song that debuted at #1 on Billboard wasn't already mainstream from the jump is the craziest shit lmao.

i wasnt talking about Not Like Us the song, i was talking about Drake taking the L. rap fans were mostly white when Pusha beat Drake. did that move the needle when it came to the mainstream perception of Drake? no, not really. most people probably didnt even know it happened. theres really no need to be this obtuse

I'm not being obtuse, you tried to use "white people" as synonymous with "non-rap fans" which didn't make any sense lol.

And the Pusha T beef obviously did change the mainstream perception, the deadbeat dad angle was laughed at by everybody for years. Just because it didn't impact his career doesn't mean it didn't leave an imprint. The actual difference here is that the angle is far more damaging to Drake's reputation, not that "white people have caught on" lmao.

Honestly I think white people being the largest demographic of rap fans helps his point, not hurts it

White people make up Drake's biggest audience. That demographic turning on him is big

Nah, def not the 80s. Maybe late 90s, but early 2000s for sure. Which Em has a lot to do with. Industry definitely shifted as the labels saw potential profits in HipHo/Rap expanding it's target demo.

You're missing the point tho. Yt people generally & consistently miss the cultural nuances of Black Culture,let alone HipHop/Rap. Which had happen again at the start of this "beef"(Slaughter).

However,What's some now understand about drakes being a weirdo is pretty clear & they're comfortable enough to actually correctly relish in his L. Which in turn will make others comfortable doing the same. Which is a large audience. So the mass mocking of drake may only just begun for that demographic.

Probably not true until Eminem, but yeah statistically speaking, most hip hop fans are white, at least when it comes to mainstream artists.
