Are white rappers taking over Hip Hop?

Nope, I think that's actually a real person's eyes. Closer is a chica.

Oh I think I remember her. Now it's even more disconcerting now that I know it's the poster's actual eyes looking into my soul and finding me wanting.

i liked his flow but his lyrics and his style seem to be emulating the flow of black rappers.. the song was full of pretentiously urban references hell the title alone is 'Nikes on my feet'

i wanna mention eminem because i think he is one of the few respected white rappers

When eminen broke into the scene and started as slim shady he didn't start by acting all ghetto and gansta he started by making fun of himself.. even in his days were he was rap battling black rappers at house parties (and slaying most of them) he didn't sound like a copy of a black rapper he had his own flow which goes beyond black or white you relate to how clever he is and what he is saying and his approach

It was unique, it's still is

i think this is why black rappers respect him and actually fear him (lyrically)

eminen would shred jay-z, kanye west, and anyone else out there...no one comes close to this dude

You have artists like Lord Jamar who complain about whites slowly taking over the hip hop industry and some others who say that white privilege is the reason whites are succeeding in Rap, which makes no sense in the first place because every famous rapper with the exception of Eminem, Macklemore, and a few one hit wonders like Asher Roth or Vanilla Ice, has been black.

So are white rappers going to take over the rap industry, and if so, why is there such a fear in the Hip Hop community over that? Do they believe that it will destroy the culture of the genre?

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

We don't necessarily believe that there is a fear from any parties concerning a more caucasian market entering the hip-hop community.

Hip-Hop and Rap have always been extremely competitive, and it has always been part of the culture to include racial biases in the music. It's just the way of hip-hop.

On another note, we as people can no longer control what's "in" and what's "out". The radio decides this just by deciding what music to put into rotation. When a single gets hammered into people's heads 4 times a day on their commute to and from work, the track is more likely to become a chart topper and people will demand for it.

Society doesn't choose trends, it's the media that does.

I think Eminem is better than Jay Z and Kanye but I disagree with him being "The Best"

White people have been integral to the rise of rap/hip hop since the early days.

Arguably the first big rap album to infiltrate the consciousness of the music buying public at large was Beastie Boys - Licence To Ill. - An album by 3 white guys, produced by Rick Rubin (a white guy with a big beard)

Run DMC had achieved some success before that, but their real big break came when they collabed with a white rock band (Aerosmith - Walk This Way).

Back in the early 90s there was a rap group called Young Black Teenagers. All of them were white, and that was the joke. I don't think that joke could be done now, people (both blacks and whites) are too uppity. There were other white rappers in the 90s too...Milkbone, Pete Nice, MC Serch (who was also integral to signing up Nas and putting out Illmatic)... even Brian Austin Green from Beverly hills 90210 put out an album. It's pretty good.

This idea that whites are suddenly "taking over" hip hop is absurd.

It's the same people who say that white people stole rock from black people, or act like there's some sort of injustice whenever white people and black people do the same thing, because they think their ethnicity did it first. In reality, rock was being founded in white and black music long before the 1950s. Just like how white and black people have been recording electronic/sample-based music long before rap was a thing.

If you can pinpoint a artist who kicked it all off, I'm sure you could find one of another ethnicity who was doing the same thing at about the same time. That isn't even accounting for artists who we have never and will never hear, so it's pretty silly to squabble over who belongs in what genre, or who's taking over what genre.

It's just music anyways. Just listen to it and try not to get caught up in your personal feelings about who's singing/playing it.
