Do they say it about any and everyone? If so, I'm ok with that.
Had zero hype before but I'm hyped now.

Just a warning, one of these is Macklemore.
It features geo though so you can't take away my gaf-hop card yet.
Macklemore is the new rickroll.

It's an interesting discussion. Lil Wayne sells millions, and 50 Cent did at one point. Likewise Nas sold very well in the 90s. But today it is easier to sell a lighter skinned Drake type than a dark guy. Kendrick being the exception of course, but even Kendrick might have a glass ceiling.
Ultimately this has far more ramifications for black women than black men. I can think of a lot of "dark skinned" black male entertainers but on the female side there's very little color diversity. I've never felt bad about my complexion, personally. Even at my lowest point I knew Wesley Snipes was out there somewhere, getting his dick sucked, and if his black ass could make it so could my less black ass. Then Akon came along and gave me hope. Now I look at Idris like a proud father who's only son made it.
But who do dark black chicks have to look up to? Music tells them they aren't as attractive as the "red bones," media ignores them, and 95% of all black women depicted in media/entertainment are wearing weaves. I can't even imagine how depressing that shit must be.

More of the common members of Gaf-Hop are brown? (I think).
Yeah. We've been doing the whole Skrull invasion thing here for a minute.
I assume you mean in the mainstream, because the internet lets anyone get their stuff out there.
Yeah. Obviously any 17 year old with a soundcloud can "express" himself by muttering into a mic half baked em lyrics

was never really in the closet. just giving out any info about my self online. people can find some crazy things about you, with just a username and skin color.
id say people are mixing pop and hip hop together. like that new hana montana song about twerking. thats shit is strait pop but people think its hip hop.
The only white people that should be allowed to be hip hop artists are Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.
God, move your blowup pool around. Otherwise you'll get dead spots

Big Sean breaks down Hall of Fame with Billboard this time. Better than the last video, goes a bit more in depth.
Somali-Hop |OT9| We Takin' Over
Frontin like mase wasn't that dude. Your favorite rapper knows something you dont.
Betha slayed Higher. One of the best songs all last year.
Cruel Summer in general has held up very well. Should be the blueprint for every compilation going forward in terms of sequencing, structure and variety. The One is really the only middling or worse song on there.

That album needed much better sequencing. Too frontloaded.
better sequencing wouldnt have helped that 9-11 stretch of songs suck any less.
1-8 and 12 are fire though.
So you'd throw Clique at the end in front of Bliss?
The progression of sound is great. The second half has some of the more weaker songs (Bliss, The One) and not as bombastic as closing when compared to the opening, but it's sequencing is done right. Cluster similar sounds and topics rather than just having them at random.

New Giftz tape is pretty fucking great. Just street focused rappity raps over banging production nothing fancy.

Speaking of Khaled, where is Suffering From Success? The single that came out for it was ass.
Do you mean white people or WHITE people? I think sorority girls are ruining hip hop.
and by that I mean whenever I'm listening to hip hop and they come around my vibe is killed
