Default Are white rappers taking over Hip Hop?
Not that it really matters because anyone can be a part of a musical genre, but I've seen this anti white rapper sentiment in many discussions of hip hop on other forums.

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.

Whites make up about 80% of the population. Blacks make up less than 15%*. Why would it be surprising if white rappers ever began to outnumber black rappers?

True. But we don't get a whole lot of music from Africa over here in America/Europe as far as I know.

I find that discussions about race have a lot of merit, and generally lead to positive results for everyone.
