If I show them some old school rap legends like Wu-Tang Clan or Nas they might admit that they haven't heard them before but they don't outright hate their sound because it's GOOD FUCKING MUSIC

  • @cokedupnormies2651
    @cokedupnormies2651 6 років тому +1

    Okay an off tangent rant here (maybe melon can respond later) but hip hop has reached a stage which is greater than even pop music. I know the audience is very varied from college dudes looking for "deep" songs to some random dudes in India who play stick cricket (personally interacted with both, and they know Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and Kendrick, no one else in the industry). With that being said, I want to talk about the latter demographic. They love hip hop and rap, and a lot of Indian artists are trying to cash in on trap music in their own languages, and this is a trend all over the world. Now while people like me in India do know the cultural significance of the n-word, most people don't. In fact, they go around using it like how they hear it in the songs (they even say it with a hard r, "mera nigar mera jigar" jigar=friend). I'm sure this must be the case in most countries where American politics don't hold relevance with the populace. Which means that whether people like it or not, the n-word has ALREADY been redefined to mean "friend" or "man", it's not an arguement of whether it should or shouldn't be. Accepting that the word has been redefined due to the explosion of hip-hop and embracing this and allowing all races to use it in the non-derogatory manner should become the norm.
    IDK does anyone have counter-points and also is it even relevant to discuss this here because it's VERY off topic to the video in hand. If Fantany, you want to, you can respond to it, but I don't expect it. I still love your reviews and I think you are impacting the culture even beyond music (by making people rely on independent journalism even for movie book and music recommendations)
