With two No. The double-edged sword for white people that rap is the more famous they get, the more they are seen as white rappers, gentrifiers and interlopers taking someone else's spot or commodifying the culture. The rap equivalent of being invited to the cookout.īut the energy has undoubtedly shifted by 2023. What he really is: conventionally attractive, kind of engaging, nominally interesting and, yes, white, but white in a way that is particularly useful for a rapper white but seemingly comfortable in Black-dominated space.
