Right? He grew up in the trailer park. That's the white version of the projects. He grew up poor as fuck and worked shitty blue-collar jobs. Poor people don't get the education that rich people do. That's because it's all based on property taxes. The poorer your neighborhood, the worse the school generally. Even if the school is predominantly white. The cast system in the US is a 2-tier system. It is based on race AND money. I used to think just like this girl until I moved to Central California and actually met white people in the projects and in the hood.

@plain-bagel 5 лет назад

Saying any white person can just basically walk into corporate America is retarded. I hate the term white privilege because it focuses on race. Of course some people do have privileges, many of them are white. Mostly it's class privilege, hell you can even have language privilege. Do you think a white Polish person with poor English is not going to struggle in a society dominated by the English language? These people have privileges they don't even recognize because they're always focused on whitey

There's a really simple rule of thumb that'll tell you whether a white artist is legit: are they being themself. If they're 'being black' when that's not who they are outside of the music - that's fake. Your Vanilla Ices, Fred Dursts, and Iggy Azelias. People who use hip hop and rapping to express themselves without being something they're not is the way to go. Dan Bull, old Papa Roach, Beastie Boys, Aesop Rock - lov 'em or hate 'em, at least they weren't being something they're not. The anomaly here would be Snow - he's a white Canadian, but he grew up around Jamaican immigrants in housing projects, so the whole Jamaican rap is not part of his heritage, but it is part of his upbringing.

@ECXLEvan 4 года назад

I appreciate you bringing up the "anomaly" here because you're absolutely right but like Snow there are white rappers who's upbringing is more akin to that of the black experience so to call them fake would be unjust. Real recognise real is still alive and true.

@MarkArandjus 4 года назад

@Jeremy Backman Audiences were never part of the conversation. Background was. Vanilla Ice grew up in Dallas and Miami, not a poor neighborhood around black kids, his black-talking persona was fake. He himself later in life said it was stupid and apologized for it, there's a video - look it up.

And Vanilla ice easily outsold MC hammer and before that it was the Beastie boys.

interesting topic. It made me think of rapper's sounds. I love the Beastie Boys, their flow is not Rakim level but it's nice enough and fits their music perfectly, same goes for a B-Real. That's why diversity to me is important and human race diversity should be in music too, in anything actually. No acceptance because of race is short-sighted

I remember buying underground hip-hop magazines, their promo was as nice as the music at Def Jux. El-P is a legend, I'm glad he's still getting his shine. As dope as Sound bombing was, it takes brass to start your own movement, look back at your former management, and tell them you'd "rather be mouth-fucked by Nazis unconscious" than work with them again.

El p is one of the most important artist and rappers ever. Top 5 as a rapper and producer all time. He’s the reason you got experimental hip hop like atrocity exhibition, some rap songs, any mike album etc. he’s the reason many rappers like mr lif and more are put on the map. He’s deep and I say that with pride not someone you will go to for bangers or shit necessary. But you will be in a hell of a experience when you realise what he’s talking about and how it shows what society really is heading towards. Show this man the respect he deserves

I have to disagree to the leader of experimental hip hop like atrocity exhibition and other projects because many of his sounds n patterns are based from a bomb squad production.

This was a very good convo. As an artist in a group from that era, I worked with a white rapper, Prozack and a black rapper, Marc Stretch. There was this thing also with the white producer. I made a song for Rasco, and he couldn't believe "Keithy" made that? PB Wolf was like, nah Keith makes dope beats. And that's how I got to do the song What It's All About with Rasco. At first, and even Rasco acknowledged it to me last year, he was like, "I didn't think you'd have any hot beats but I was wrong" 😂

@bashthefash420 5 лет назад

@ChrisCypher 4 года назад

El-P has always been an inspiration. Both as an artist and as a business model. He was rising as I really started getting into the indie scene. His "independent as fuck" slogan spoke right to my core, because he was doing things his way and being successful at it. Then as an artist, he's crafted a whole sonic universe. No one really sounds like him as a producer, or as a rapper. And watching him evolve from being ill in Company Flow (but letting dense lyrics get in the way of flow), to learning to be dense with much better timing..and seeing that same evolution with his beats after going solo. Even when my musical explorations took me away from hip hop for years, his releases would always be ones I come back to check for and always be impressed by.

Free styling and writing. MC Hammer was an industry star. Then the industry fucked him and he went broke. Em cared too much about the craft to let the industry fuck him over. So Em earned those sales with his talent.

@brantub 5 лет назад

I've thought this for a long time. It's crazy how race comes into play with what music people gravitate toward or what gets pushed by the industry. I feel it's the same with singers: maaaad amount of incredible soul singers out there, but it's the white ones that become massive pop successes. Like hip hop and soul are a genre, but if you're white and rapping or singing soul - you're pop and can be appeal to a general (white) audience so much more. It's infuriating.

@ABLETONSTUFFANDBITS 5 лет назад

what is America's majority if you talk about race? white. obviously your pop appeal would be massive just how there isn't any white Kpop stars, the market is controlled by the masses, it's a no brainer. i don't get why people are surprised by this. same with movies. Another thing to note though is independent labels are not doing it this way, underground has always been the way. in 2019, if you still listen, follow, care about pop music.. you are missing out. talent is never the ones that get pushed now as it takes talent, marketing, promo, a management team, content creators, writers etc to become an overnight success. this way of seeing things could make you overlook talent. like Adele or an act of that size. she is a superstar.. is it because she is white? nah, how many people you know that can make tunes like her? The colors show on youtube is a good spot to find all types of music.

Plus, his label Def Jux was one of the biggest indie hip hop labels in the 2000's. El-P is just appreciated by a different audience now ever since RTJ. ...but in the broader sense, yeah, I still think he's grossly underrated and under many's radar.
