hammerpipe Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 The better question is; who gives a shit who likes rap or not? Not I. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think the meltdown that followed the tour announcement happened just because it was promoted on social media and even those who never follow blink heard about it. To these people blink and Lil Wayne have nothing to do with each others (understandable) and they just had to show they were shocked by the news by leaving their comments on Twitter/IG/YouTube because that's what people do now - but what they really thought was: "2000's has beens unite!!" and they would never go to these shows anyway. The PLG meltdown was in a minor scale because Yelawolf did a featuring on an EP that almost nobody outside the inner "super fans" circle had even heard of. blink-182 and wu-tang clan would have been a cool tour though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Wayne doesn't do it for me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 So you're saying Lil Wayne is too white of a black person for you? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 During the Carter era so many people I knew used to listen to him, his music was played at parties, stuffs like that. And Lil Wayne is way more commercial than the other rappers we were mentioning with Champ (Q-Tip, Kalib, Common), except for Chance The Rapper, who is still very big now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also very scarred because last summer two people I know very well said a horrifically racist thing to me about a young girl who was behind us at the bar and they were laughing about it like it was the funniest thing in the world. I just froze because I didn't expect to hear that, I didn't even know what to say and I still feel bad that I didn't say anything or punch them. I'm such a whimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really suck, that's all I'm getting at by agreeing with Ghent, it definitely felt over the top of a reaction on places like YouTube Instagram and Reddit and just because some people barbecue to Lil Wayne doesn't mean there's no racist folks out there who aren't. I would have punched them. But I went through a period where I never acted negatively too, it's not always the key, people need to be placed sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happened out of the blue and I was so caught off guard. I'm always very vocal about this kind of things so it surprised me that they even said that to me, knowing that I would have never laughed about it. Yeah. I think you and Ghent are right after all. I was just trying to see why people had that reaction about Lil Wayne and I hope it's because they don't like pop punk mixed with hip hop, but a lot of them are just racists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how many meltdowns I've seen where the person begins by saying "i love Eminem...but"? What I heard of Lil Wayne in that WMAA video is that he sounds like a moron. And what the hell is Mark thinking dragging the "on me" part at the start of every chorus? Sounds awful. The whole thing sound awful. If we're talking hip hop the only american rappers I listen to are Eminem and Kanye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
