I'm in the middle of a youtube bender, listening to and watchign all these new music videos and new artists out there. I'm noticing an extreme shift in "demographics" since I was a youngin. It looks like Hip hop/rnb is getting paler. There are many new black female artists. They are all mixed to white. No brown girls in the videos anymore.
This pleases me a great deal. I hope this kind of hip hop continues to get lighter and whiter until black kids can't identify with it anymore. There's got to be a tipping point when black youth realise that the images shown to them are not attainable. Non black women, non black rappers. Because I hope that then, black kids will totally disengage from this crap and let other hues take a turn on the carousel. Maybe then we can have a generation with brains and drive and positive visions for the future.
What do you guys think?
