Yep. My opinion is different from yours therefore I know nothing and my opinion is invalid.
****ing moron.
Big name rap artist wants to move to Utah
- Thread starter The Fresh Prince
- Start date
****ing moron.
How much hip-hop do you listen to? How many different artist? How many different sub genres? Do you know every scene of hip-hop? How many different eras?
Yes, your opinion is most likely invalid if your frame of reference is Rick Beato talking about top 40's hip-hop and hip-hop that was more commercially relevant in your younger years.
Hip-hop is clearly the most diverse and creative genre, mainly because it's the genre with the least amount of gatekeeping, is globally dominant, and has the least defined genre parameters.

What’s your evidence that it’s the most diverse and creative of all genres?
You looking for examples of artist or the factors that lend it to being the most diverse/creative?
To sum up the factors: Low barrier for entry, least amount of predefined genre requirements, and most varied use of the most diverse instrument (the human voice). Lots of other factors too, but those would be the main ones off the top of my head.

I’m looking for any quantitative measurement, since that what your claim requires.
Look, I think it’s diverse... but your claim is probably not right... almost definitely not right on the global scale... and you definitely aren’t supporting your claim with any evidence.

I don't live in Utah, but from the outside looking in a lot of people think Utah is the breeding ground of the KKK. You might be out of touch, Karen.
You know it’s serious when Eminem gets and dropped in a hip hop conversation lmao. And of course it’s in a thread about a rapper wanting to spend his parole in Utah to stay out of trouble. This is one step removed from all the celebrities going to Utah to do their drug rehab.
The Onion is about to plagiarize this entire thread. **** is hilarious.

I’m definitely out of touch when it comes to the rap scene.
I think the point that having a dozen or so celebs that throw parties could make Utah more appealing to NBA players is legit. I hadn’t looked at it that way.
Not much KKK in Utah (the Klan harassed Mormons early on and the Church denounced them… there was a small Klan in Utah but they never gained much traction because the majority church was very anti-Klan.)
There is a small number of hateful bigots in Utah and even larger number of ignorant white people who think racism doesn’t exist anymore. We need help. So glad Donovan and DWade are here to teach people (it’s gonna take some time though.)

Trust me, I've seen a countless amount of our fans show their bigot, racist side on the social media platforms. They attack our players, personally for their views. Having a rap artist that I'm sure a lot of athletes listen to move to Utah can possibly help erase the stigma. I, personally would love to move to Utah. I'm sure it's not what people on the outside think it is. When people mention Utah, they tend to think dominantly white, racist hicks.
And living in West Virginia, Virginia, and even Texas I've seen racism.
