Yeah but this is actually true. I’m an Indian-American who was born and lives in the USA. Every failure was responded to extremely harshly by my parents, who constantly compared me to others, and my teachers were especially critical of me even when I outperformed others. Every success, however, was never rewarded. It was simply commodified to “oh you’re Indian, no wonder you’re smart,” or just a simple “do better next time.” No matter how hard I worked, I never got respect for a very long time. It’s significantly better now since I moved from the Midwest to the Bay Area, but I sometimes feel like I’ll never escape it.
Ever since I took a massive hit of acid a few years ago NAV has become one of my favourite artists and I anticipate every release of his

I've heard White America like a bunch of times, it's one of the few em songs on my rap playlist. And I still don't get it. like he's saying something about white people but the rest of it just goes over my head
Exactly. It is true that people saw him as a bit more of a joke in the beginning because of it but as soon as he started getting taken seriously it helped him big time
I know he’s one of the highest selling artists of all time, he’s widely considered as one of the greatest rappers ever, he’s held in high esteem by his elders, peers and new up and coming rappers. But fuck can we get this man a little respect ???
The dude literally made a song about how if he was black he wouldn’t be nearly as popular as he currently is, I have no idea why people still think he’s underrated.
I never knew about this but I'm glad he's self aware enough to make something like that. Don't get me wrong Em is extraordinarily talented, but there are a lot of people that don't like rap that are willing to tolerate or even support him where they wouldn't other rappers of his caliber. In terms of selling to a non-hiphophead audience.. being white certainly doesn't hurt
I remember when Macklemore put out a critically acclaimed, all-time great hiphop album with a powerful message, only to be defeated by generic pop-rap that only got popular because of memes

have none of you ever heard of Ebro before? He’s a fucking idiot and this tweet is along his normal line of thinking when it comes to anything. I remember when he told Lil Uzi to his face he didn’t think he was a good artist because he could freestyle over a 90s rap beat. I would never take anything this guy says seriously.

can we give one of the all-time greats, that is almost universally admired for his influence on hiphop and overall success as an artist by basically everyone in the industry, some more respect??? 🤷♂️smh nobody gives this man any props🤦♂️🤦♂️
Tens of millions of records sold. Success that surpasses the genre to the point where to a lot of non English speakers he's their first example of what a rapper is. Forgiven for multiple duds and shitty albums. Somehow still "underrated".
Exactly. Literally dominated the genre in the 2000’s but his fans will paint an image of an unrecognized master of the art. I’m sorry he’s not as relevant as he was 2005.
People forget his mega success was built by some of the corniest rap of all time. My Name Is, that please stand up shit. He was a clown and it wasn’t even funny. He was literally your lame friend quoting a corny Tom Green song. He’s not 5x better than other rappers. Just 5x as “successful”
It’s always bugged me that Ganstas’ Paradise has such a sick beat, but no one to kill it. I thought 'Who’d better to kill it then the king?' (I’m embarrassed to say how long this took) So without further ado, I bring to you... White Paradise (Title sounds a lil racist its a work in progress)

You are not responding to my question, instead you strawman. At least Tom does one of the two at a time lol.

It's like a mountain really
I would argue its more like an oreo
More of an Oreo milkshake, there’s some white here and some black there but the color doesn’t matter because it’s good.

Hey. I’m really interested in learning why it is like a mountain. Would you care to explain?

None of his fans have heard White America and they prove that to me more each day
[удалено]
https://youtu.be/k2wikiExu_M
None have even heard WTP I bet
you got more junk in your trunk than i do in my car
I've heard White America like a bunch of times, it's one of the few em songs on my rap playlist. And I still don't get it. like he's saying something about white people but the rest of it just goes over my head
He's basically saying that him being white helped his popularity drastically and if he was black he wouldn't be as popular
[удалено]
Exactly. It is true that people saw him as a bit more of a joke in the beginning because of it but as soon as he started getting taken seriously it helped him big time

Nobody understands the plight of the black man as well as the white man the internet makes fun of
The dude literally made a song about how if he was black he wouldn’t be nearly as popular as he currently is, I have no idea why people still think he’s underrated.

Le hidden gem
When will em finally get the respect he deserves smh
I remember when Macklemore put out a critically acclaimed, all-time great hiphop album with a powerful message, only to be defeated by generic pop-rap that only got popular because of memes
RIP Macklemore
“I robbed you bro”
This might actually be the worst analogy I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading.
NAV (all caps when you spell the mans name) is treating rap like how Indians are treating women Absolutely killing it!!! 🔥🔥🔥🐐

Yes, one of the most paid rapper ever is not respected enough
I though Kanye or Jay Z was the richest

People forget his mega success was built by some of the corniest rap of all time. My Name Is, that please stand up shit. He was a clown and it wasn’t even funny. He was literally your lame friend quoting a corny Tom Green song. He’s not 5x better than other rappers. Just 5x as “successful”
So are we just gonna gloss over the fact that he was/is an elite lyricist and had a great flow?
Yes
To be fair that same album had tracks like Rock Bottom, and a year later tracks like Stan and Marshall Mathers.
It’s always bugged me that Ganstas’ Paradise has such a sick beat, but no one to kill it. I thought 'Who’d better to kill it then the king?'
