There's a lo-fi Irish hip-hop track I need to find and I'm just putting a placeholder here so I remember to look for it later. Ya'll 100% will not know it, one guy sent it to me years ago, and AS SOON AS I FIND IT!!! I'll post it here.

Yeah, they aren't drift phonk but they've created the majority of the genre conventions: the fast high-pitched Memphis rap, the punchy distorted trap beats, the heavy bass, the damn cowbell. They had it all. It's just that their instrumentals didn't use the cowbell that often. Maybe drift phonk is just artists trying to copy Three 6 Mafia and artists trying to copy the artists copying Three 6 Mafia. Three 6 Mafiaception.

anyone ready for the new clipse?

Real shit.

Why are there so few good white rappers in America/UK/France? Is that due to the way hip-hop is engraved into black culture? Other than big names like Eminem or Beastie Boys I haven't heard of any. It's funny how in every other popular genre it's the complete opposite, you have to actively search for bands like Bad Brains. I guess Sevendust and Killswitch Engage still managed to hit it big (very cool metal bands btw, you should check them out).

Rock was kind of "whitened" or assimilated or whatever in a different time - hip hop actually wasn't the first popular genre to stay black in terms of how it was perceived culturally, it essentially happened with funk, too. There were white funk musicians, of course, but the vanguard of the funk genre was always mostly black - Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, etc. Early funk rock (including 2 of the aforementioned bands) was also the only strand of rock which was still primarily black in the 1970s, when rock'n'roll and its offshoots had otherwise largely become "white" before 1962. Before funk, soul/r'n'b had also stayed black, but kinda to a lesser extent - there was still blue eyed soul, doo wop, British r&b, etc. where there were white stars who were just as big.

I put it down to a cultural shift after the 1970s, but, admittedly, it is kind of weird that, after all this time and all these white rappers, genuinely impressive ones are still kinda scarce. There are lots of great, talented white funk musicians, but somehow with hip hop there seem to be fewer per capita wypipo who are good at it. Then again, I barely listen to rap.

Actually, now that I think of it, the most successful white rappers are in nu metal and metallic hardcore bands (Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, Biohazard, Stray From the Path).
>it essentially happened with funk, too.
I know but I think funk isn't as popular as rap and rock anymore. Same for jazz, which is also quite black I think.
>Early funk rock (including 2 of the aforementioned bands) was also the only strand of rock which was still primarily black in the 1970s
I've noticed that too. Looks like those black rock and metal musicians who incorporate traditionally black music genres like funk and hip-hop turn out to be the most successful (Mother's Finest, Body Count, Cypress Hill, Sevendust, Living Colour, 24/7 SPYZ). Except for Bad Brains who succeeded purely by pioneering hardcore punk.
>somehow with hip hop there seem to be fewer per capita wypipo who are good at it
It also seems to be primarily an American/British/French thing since there are a lot of black people. Compare any other European rap scene and it's mostly white.

Now I truly recognize the benefits of Black History Month.
