I would have to say that the thing that actually bothers me about these sorts of people - not their whininess or their victim complexes or their terrible interpretations of the way things are -

It's that they seem incapable of looking at things in a context that isn't this grand conspiracy that everything boils down to what someone is. This guy doesn't talk about why rap might be good musically, or about the stories it tells, or even about the depth of lyric and rhyme that is endemic to the genre. Instead he completely ignores all of these aspects of why someone might be interested in the genre and implies that because it was created by black people, that it's only "for them" and its impossible that any other group could enjoy the medium.

These people fail to understand that in paying extra attention to race, they are doing a disservice to the very concepts that they support.

Someone either likes rap music or they don't. Their race shouldn't have anything to do with it.

That's the only skillset many of them have. How to extrapolate social hierarchy and oppression and victimhood from the most mundane of subjects. They'll wake one day around 50 years old and regret ruining their lives by flooding their minds with this train of thought.

If blacks were doing well as a group, they wouldn't care about any of this. If your ethnic group doesn't have many successes to brag about, then you try to make their wider culture exclusive so they'll "have" something to be proud of. It's really pathetic.

Aesop Rock is quite good in my opinion. I don't understand his complete work but I am amused by Racing Stripes

Another White guy promoting Black people as victims? So many of these idiots are just looking for a pat on the head.

Normal responses for the most part. Kind of shocked. Did they leave the psycho ward doors unlocked for the weekend so the genuine gaffots could go out on a rampage?

i stopped liking hiphop when the gangsta rap craze hit and it never stopped. Good thing there are white hiphop artists like Hilltop Hoods that are good.

It's music for children and people with a low IQ.

What about black people that listen to country music?
