@@bruceleeds7988 i think its a bigger issue for people who are not from the old school, the ones who didnt have to battle to get respect (on mics, turntables, walls, trains and on the dance floor) its only the idiots who think spotify numbers and instagram hits matter who seem fixated on it.
Black and Latinos and whites been getting down with all elements of Hip Hop for 50+ years. Hip hop always had Pro black beliefs. All of Sudden cats like Lord Jamar, Dr Umar and Tariq Nasheed wanna rewrite history to push this political FBA shit in Hip Hop and tear down the unity we’ve had in the streets. im Dominican and i’ve dedicated my entire life to hip hop. Peace to the Gods but i love this shit too much to give up it
I am too young to be from that first generation(41 so I am like the second generation), but hip hop spoke to me early. I am a white from a poor area in MA, and it was always mixed where I lived. Ain't even like NYC, where neighborhoods were racial, if you were poor you lived in the PJ's and I was poor. I grew up on NWA, KRS, Rakim and also was into metal(which explains why I am a Necro Fan since the 90s). I don't feel like a guest, I feel like hip hop is my home. I feel like I have supported it, respected it, and it has changed my life for the better. I don't accept I am a guest, and even if we were, you can't throw us out, hip hop belongs to everyone now. Its more pervasive than rock. You mentioned how you have a unique perspective. You and your brother spoke to me, as a poor white kid with no one but his brother, surviving the ghetto while having a foot in metal, and the other in hip hop. The moment I heard yall(I heard Bill First) it was like yall were speaking to me personally. Eminem, I never related. Many did, but I WASN'T a surburban party kid, I was from the streets.
IF were listening to metal, then hip hop isnt your home. Same goes for necro. Those guys were listening to Anthrax and things like that until Wu Tang came out. The early classic rap cats only listened to rap and older (usually black) music.. This is afact. its not racism. When internet came, then came cultural diffusion and you see a hodgepodge of people enjoying same thing. But always remember the true heads came out of the root of black music. Dont let anyone fool you into thinking that you were a real hip hop head.
Until somebody brings up that most Latinos have Black African ancestry in their blood. At that point - I'm pretty sure that ethnic labeling becomes paramount to you.
I'm African-American, I don't subscribe to the narrative of someone being a guest. HIP-HOP is not a political party or a secret society, although Jamar is using it figuratively. The term hip-hop didn't exist in the beginning and the first element is graffiti, where there were many white and Latino writers, and some of them went to the second, which is breaking or B-boying. It's crazy, because there are some pioneers that would flip flop about who created hip-hop, depending who the interviewer is.
CYPRESS HILL 1st Latinos to go platinum in hip-hop🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇺🇵🇷Big Pun 1st Latino solo artist to go platinum 💯RESPECT, keep up the great content NECRO your opinions are appreciated DEATH 💀RAP is 🔥🔥🔥🔥the metal 🎸 tracks you did recently were dope videos were amazing ✌🏽💀

You are infringing on "Black" culture your story is Erelavent because you did not come from the hood and the struggle... ?? But when you do come from the same environment? ...Oh But he's white he has it easier every where else ...why come into Rap ?... lmaoo straight gatekeeper mentality Racism and Haterism ... I also said something about this in your last video about why Nore don't respect white underground Rappers ... white Nerd lyrical kids Respect Eminem they dont Respect vanilla ice which I think he is the reason for giveing white rappers a bad image . But white Hardcore gully Goons Respect Necro !! I'm puerto Rican and I approve this message .. Respect to you Necro 💯
Black people had to die and protest just for white to allow them human rights like whites. And that was only in the fucking 60s. My grandmother is remembers the real racism, and here you are calling us racist in a country known for to be the most racist against black people. SMH.. this is why we call you guests in hip hop. Just like the best 2024 country song was not allow to win one award because for whites. Did you complain about that ? Go cry to Vlad. You toke rock and jazz so we created hip hop in the hood while dealing with REAL racism and discrimination. And you now want to kidnap hip hop. You have stole everything from us and including our mind and body. Go make country great again
Can we at least have the opportunity to lump all the people in the same group? I agree with you hip hop got watered down, but black ppl contributed to it as much as other races. Bro, hip hop is worldwide movement, wonders have been made before/after the smartphone period by white/asian/african/latino guys, the list is long. It’s just you don’t know them. When I hear “hip hop to be more black” I want to battle you dude, no matter you’re black or white (if white I would destroy the fool out of you, in freestyle of course). There’s no “ownership” in hip hop, everybody can contribute or risk to dilute it, this is the beauty and danger of the whole movement. Petit con de cul blanc, arrête de baisser ton pantalon! ✨
@og why you deleted my comment? You’re not a true OG. I disagree with what you say. BIG TIME. I personally think Hip hop is a “black enough” today, the garbage and the good is everywhere, it’s an international movement! Have you heard European/UK/Asian rappers? They are not black and they kill the shit, why you need more black rappers is maybe because you have too narrow horizons bro. Check a bit what‘s rap outside of the US ✨
Tons of respect to you for this. Esp about bringing the argument of instrument technology into it. 100% valid .. ive been a white rapper/producer on the eastcoast for a long time and all this is on point. Also not being a leftist absolutely hurts you in the “culture” and industry
Necro is one of the very few rappers who gets realer and realer with time instead of wacker. Big respect bro, been listening to your shit since the mid 2000s. You and death rap are the reason I was introduced to rap in the first place and still listen to it today. I used to be one of those sheltered nerds who thought rap was trash until a buddy of mine put on Dead body disposal while we were smoking. I listen almost exclusively to rap these days, and have continued to listen to NECRO throughout... The fact you made this video, and said these things that need to be said just solidifies my opinion of your dopeness both now and back then. You are one of the few I respect not only for your music, but for yourself and what you stand for as well. It takes balls to say these things in a world and culture that will 100% push back and shit on you for speaking the truth about it. Anyway, can't wait to hear your next shit. Keep killing it lyrically and in shit like this. I know you will. Huge respect from Canada brother
One of the best and realest videos I’ve seen in a hot minute, hip hop needs you around Necro, you’re the only one saying what every hip hop fan and artist needs to hear right now. Keep cutting through the bullshit brotha, #MAKEHIPHOPGREATAGAIN
Necro, I have been a fan of yours since I was around my early/mid 20's. I just turned 40, yes I am white, and from Toronto. I have been called certain names for listening to hip hop, especially if it is a black artist. My common law partner only lets me blast hip hop if the artist is white and I don't understand that. Like Eminem, he got mad respect for him and he has never heard you, but I am going to show him your music. Keep up the awesome work, you make us proud (even though skin color shouldn't matter I agree with that) and I'm really feeling that song with you & Ill Bill the Billie Jean one lately. I played it for my friend this morning, and he was frkn howling, dude loved it. We love you Necro!!
1. Beastie boys license to ill is goated 2. Cypress hill first 4 albums are goated 3. House of pain first 3 albums are goated 4. All your albums are goated 5. Most of Bill's albums are goated 6. Vinnie paz = goated 7. Slim has 4 classic albums. 8. Non phixion 2 classic albums 9. Diabolic liar and a thief is goated 10. Big pun capital punishment might be the best album of all time. I'm listing these to show that other people of different races def contribute to the culture and put out str8 fire. With products like these and skills like this, aint nobody a fuckin guest.
So true, and We can go much further… the list can be continued for all continents… 🌍 *Looptroop Rockers* from Sweden I saw them twice they embody the hip hop vibe. 🌅 *Dirty Dike* from the UK basically everything the label HighFocus drops is pure fire 🦉 *Dead’P* whose album was referred as Korean illmatic, not to mention Drunken Tiger/Tasha 👑 *Danielson* the Canadian dude who spits strict fire 🥊 *Portavoz* from Chile is doing wonders with his mad flow and loud beats 🏔️ Not to mention all the precious French rap stuff such as: MC Solaar, NTM, IAM, FonkyFamily, La Cliqua, Dicidens… etc etc But from Europe when we look US rap I have to admit NECRO and his bro have always been TOP hip hop representative in my heart. ❤️ thanks for all the vibe you did, do and will do ✨
Love the video's keep them up, you seem to be a lot more chilled out these days too!! Maybe one day you could do a video on the downfall of NYC Hip Hop, Who was to blame? And how come there's nobody left apart from you keeping that gritty NYC style alive.
I remember the comments that Ice T and KRS said about Soulja Boy. Fans of Soulja clowned them over their age - like they were just hating because of being oldheads.
Soulja knows better but is controlled but also wants to be his own thing that's why he doesn't have hits anymore. Hes smarter than he looks and acts, I know it's hard to believe lol.
If you’re respecting the art then nothing else matters. Everyone knows who created hip hop and the blues It’s a given. Doesn’t mean others can’t embrace the art though and run with it with their own style and add to the culture. Artist get it. Fans don’t necessarily get it though because a lot of fans dabble in hip hop and don’t know the history and then speak on it.
@ yep and make arguments based off the latest RUclips video they watched instead of really getting immersed into the music and culture. When we’re growing up we knew we had to really know about Black Sabbath or zeppelin before we spoke about it or we’d be clowned. Time to challenge these kids a bit like my generation was challenged. In the end they’ll thank us
Its a double, or maybe even triple edged sword. I do think that as a white fan or participant you have to keep in mind that for many decades, for every one person who was legitimately passionate about the culture, there were ten vultures, predatory execs, etc. I also think within the broader context of American society, it makes sense why black Americans would feel pretty defensive and protective over the artform that has acted as their platform (and avenue to genuine financial power and influence) within wider culture. On the other hand, I agree on an interpersonal level it's completely wack to judge anyone via color alone. And I definitely think being a white hip-hop head is a struggle at times where you're constantly treated as an outsider regardless of your level of involvement, knowledge, support, etc. That being said, many of the highest-grossing rap acts ever are white. The idea that it's totally impossible to be mainstream as a white rapper isn't true - Eminem is the biggest act ever, El-P has achieved borderline-mainstream success via Run The Jewels, Mac Miller is beloved, and for every one of these genuine acts there's five Post Malones that posture as hip-hop-adjacent acts to make money and then abandon it once they're famous to appeal to a wider mainstream audience. It's a complicated and sensitive conversation - but I understand emotionally where you're coming from. It's definitely annoying that even as a lifelong fan of hip-hop, people more or less will laugh in your face or assume you're an Eminem stan or whatever if you so much as mention liking hip-hop. I dunno.
Here's a real fun fact: if all your race does is whine about shit eventually nobody cares what color you are because you're fucking annoying and have nothing worth saying to say anymore
I’m 44 from Canberra Australia.. Firstly props to you Necro for coming here years ago I was spewing I missed knowing you were here and hopefully you come again sometime even if it just the bigger cities (Sydney, Melbourne etc) but to me that shows your dedication to the *game* and *fans* doing dope grimey small/personal shows in every part of the world! That’s a measure of a true Hip Hop artist’s 🔥 As a kid here in OZ all that was on offer on tv in the 80’s (only source of the outside world I had before obtaining money) here was big hair power bands - Gun’s n Roses, Aerosmith, Skid Row etc (was like it was systematically on repeat/ jammed down our necks) so when I happened to come across a Christmas compilation cassette with Run DMC “Christmas in Hollis” in about 89’ it was a breath of fresh air and fun and I was instantly hooked and immediately started to chase the genre which yielded Public Enemy, LL Cool J etc (note Australia was not easy finding Hip Hop related cassettes back then) and throughout most the 90’s I seemed a bit of a social misfit as “rock” still dominated here (now I will admit it became easier when G-funk & Pac hit as then it became more popular.. and apart from Biggie, Nas & Wutang NY Hip Hop even still till this day doesn’t get the props it should here) On Eminem - I respect Eminem’s lyricism and storytelling/joking but I can’t stand the blatant “nasal white toned voice” that I feel has been planted/popularised/pushed by **big music corp** that has obviously made him *blow up* amongst the masses and has made his style the only “white sound” eg. If grimey white rapper comes out (that is actually 🔥) sounding somewhat black he’s labelled “oh he not like Eminem” or “look at him trying to be gangsta” and that is Eminem and any other nasal rappers curse! When you say White and Latino get somewhat catorgised the same I unfortunately think the next biggest **commercialised Latino rapper** was B-Real and guess what **NASAL** (I’m a fan of both Em & Cypress Hill but in a way think whites and Latino have been categorised similarly because of Em & B-Real by the masses.. and Snoop was overlooked 😆) Anyway that my 2cents from Australia.. Salute!
I heard a story from the early 2000s, about Mac Lethal winning a Rap contest put on by Def Jam. The first prize was meant to be a record contract, but when Mac won, he wasn't given the contract.
Love this video Necro! Your knowledge and views on hip hop really resonates with me and so many people. I been listening to your music for 19-20 years. I respect the fuck out of your contribution to hip hop!
"Illest 4 letter word in the world is Cage". Word up Necro! Art is for everyone who is able to make it and adds up some value to it. Fun fact, Technics 1200, most used HipHop turntables were made by Japanese xD
It's not racism, but it's definitely gatekeeping. Look at somebody like Kid Rock. This is a guy who was embraced and mentored by the black emcees in the Detroit area and used that cred to get on. Then, not only does he never throw it back to those guys but gets into some pretty overtly racist shit himself in terms of who he tours with etc. Completely abandons it to become a country boy whatever. It's the idea that these people are not part of the culture, so they're gonna do what Kid Rock did; use it to get put on and then forget it when he gets where he wants to be. Of course, that doesn't describe everyone, but I do think it is the fear that facilitates a lot of what you're talking about.
@@bassbole what about kid Rock's drummer Stefanie Eulinberg? She's black and she's still in kid Rock's band and one of Kid Rock sons is black. He never abandoned them.
Much respect for this video, I think it's a very necessary topic to be discuss. Imo, music ain't supposed to belong to any group or color, people like Lord Jamar are acting like gatekeepers of the rap culture, even tho i give him his respect for Brand Nubians and shit i don't agree with his opinions. What about Cypress Hill and DJ Muggs, They blew up around the same time as Brand Nubians... Nuff said. P.S: Dead body Disposal will always be one of my favorite joints!

WOW! FIRST TIME I HEARD NECRO BE DOWN TO EARTH!! I REALLY LIKE THIS INTERVIEW AND REALLY DIG WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN REGARDS TO YOUR VIEWS ON HIP HOP N LIFE!!! BIG UPZ!
I gotta admit when i first heard Necro n Cage saying "niqqa" i was thrown off. They was real comfortable with it too. Btw...Puerto Ricans didn't invent break dancing. There's plenty of Black underground rappers who don't get the time of day...more mainstream club orientated rap music was always given more media attention hence why Souljah Boy dance friendly sound would be more accepted than Roc Marciano. Has nothing to do with race. Horror core was too gimmicky to last which is why Necro n others like him didn't blow up...not cuz he's White. Fat Joe started making radio friendly rap n blew...not his hardcore stuff or when he was supposedly more feared. A lot of guys just aren't marketable...n that's a fact. Plenty of Black rappers tried to diss Eminen n a lot of Black ppl came to his defense becuz they like his music. He found a way to make himself marketable unlike a lot of other White rappers. R&B/Soul doesn't have a lot White artists in it either. Certain genres of music are more dominated by certain races than others. Just like a certain group of ppl own the entertainment industry n decide who gets signed...so blame them if u looking fir an excuse as to why things are the way they are in the music industry.
If you take credit for the good then take credit for the bad, record companies don't target whatever isn't hitting and unfortunately your community loves licentious and decadent culture ╮(╯▽╰)╭ which is why 80% of your artists will still be dark YNs not jake from statefarm.
Music genres and categories are over rated. Essentially, rhyming over music has been going on for thousands of years. I remember Snoop Dogg even saying that country music is basically rap and that Johnny Cash was his favorite rapper. Good music is good music.
I dare to say that Racism and hate are vital components in Hip Hop. That hate is part of the energy that started it all. The Golden Era was primarily driven by Black Nationalists and 5%ers (which turned out to be a gimmick). When a dope white emcee can survive or thrive in that hateful, competitive game its almost like a balancing of what Black men faced in America up until about 20 years ago. Ironically, Hip Hop race conciousness ish helped to shape the "color blind" 90s. Now that the culture has been thorougly coopted by corporate and government interests Hip Hop only serves to create shortlived cultural artifacts and producrs to reinforce the only thing that unifies all modern, Western peoples: Materialism. Part of what us older heads miss about the Phat Beats/Golden Era is the ability to exercise freedom of association and the freedom to tackle race in a direct, often humorous way. That ethos largely came out of New York borroughs that were divided. Sorry Necro, didnt mean to drop books in yo comments section. Good vid. Keep the discussion going. Peace
just to preface my comment, eye Love everyone, but om wondering how is the 5% a gimmick? If you hypothetically snapped your fingers and magically made the 5% disappear frum history, Hip Hop wouldn't even exist! The founder of the 5%, Allah, formerly known as Clarence 13X didn't have any problem with righteous white people. He was very close with the Republican Mayor of NYC at the time and Allah gave him a Universal Flag. The Mayor gave him the building now known as the Allah School. Just because a segment of the adherents of a certain religion or school of thought have questionable behavior doesn't nullify that religion or school of thought.
maybe it was only allowed to be a gimmick but label suits or cia pigs wouldnt allow it to be a mainstay. Maybe alot of katts that pushed it for awhile were frontin'. Maybe a bit of it all.
"Systemic racism includes the complex array of antiblack practices, the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites, the continuing economic and other resource inequalities along racial lines, and the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power. “Systemic here means that the core racist realities are manifested in each of society’s major parts [...] each major part of U.S. society-the economy, politics, education, religion, the family-reflects the fundamental reality of systemic racism." - “Racist America: Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations” by Sociologists Dr. Joe Feagin We don't do Elvis 2.0. This "Hip Hop" thang is birthed out of The Sociopolitical Experiences of The so-called "African Americans" within The US of AmeriKKKa. Period. "You cannot revolt against a people whose values you share." - Dr. Amos N. Wilson
@@necrovideo 'Numbers' by kraftwerk is the backbone of countless hip hop classics be it NY, West coast and then Miami bass, they all need more props... Well done for calling out this trend of shitting on B Boys/Girls based on skin colour, i really thought that narrow minded shit was left behind in the 60's but i guess these click baiters are running out of useful stuff to say.. Hip Hop is Worldwide and has been for decades, and everyone respects where it comes from so these idiots should find a better way to contribute to the culture. Peace
Kraftwerk gets plenty of props by the early generation. Marley Marl has always given Kraftwerk & Arthur Baker, Giorgio Moroder their props. The issue is nobody is trying to steal Kraftwerk's music. We don't own magazines to cross over into another music genre not ours and make these ridiculous greatest lists. Especially from people who aren't from the culture. There are so many not our culture or skin color who have robbed the brothas for there money, while putting there kids through college,. They will let us say nigga a million times per record. But if u say jew, they will make u take it off, or erase it. Look how they came at Ice-T and Ice Cube when they were saying racist shit and going at the cops. But when Eminem says nigger going at black women etc, they tried to hide it and sweep it under the rug. It's more about the people in power and the mainstream. Cos all the underground white dudes I know love hip hop. Most respect the culture and accept to being guests in the art form. They don't try to steal the shit and act like they created or I invented it.
The Fat Joe line is from the LL Cool J "i shot ya" remix.. I'd rather be feared than loved because the fear last longer.. bangin song. Prodigy's verse was sick!
In my opinion, the culture of hip-hop is not racist. Hip-Hop is a reaction to racism but acceptance isn't based on race. Hip-Hop used to be gate kept based on skill, that started to change in the '90s with the commercial rap that started coming out. The Bad Boy era with the champagne and designer clothes. And there's some great artists from the South like OutKast, TI, and Ludacris, but there were a lot of southern acts that begin to rule radio and really blow up in the last 20 years or so. As far as white rappers go, it's not a race thing. Hip-hop is about skills. 3rd Bass was dope but Vanilla Ice and most of the other white rappers who were out back in the day weren't that good. Eminem broke the stigma but #1 he had pop appeal and #2 he had the Dre cosign. If not for that he would've been a dope underground MC shrouded in obscurity. And you can't name another white rapper who has been able to be on the same level as Eminem. Is that racism? No. Big Pun is Latin. There's a lot of great Latin MCs. But there's just one Pun. You either gotta have skills pop appeal or both. How can Hip-Hop be racist when the majority of mainstream rappers are black (the main victims of racism)?
ok I KNOW you're not gonna like this example because you're probably a hip hop purist and don't respect these artists, but most of those "popular white rappers" are not in this sphere but online, memphis phonk influenced bands like salem, sad boy acts like drain gang and goth boy clique, people like lil ugly mane and gab3 influenced an entire generation of rap and rap adjacent styles comparable to any 90's artist influence.
@IbnRushd-mv3fp I never heard of those acts but I try to be objective as far as the music I like. Somebody could be a purple alien from outer space and I would champion them if they're dope. I think people get overlooked but it's not because of race. It's because the mainstream overlooks everybody who's not making that Tik Tok viral dance bs rap that a lot of people like. Groups like OutKast, Eminem, Wu-Tang, Nas are an exception to that rule, but marketability and garnering social media attention is the name of the game today.
It’s funny how a million things can factor into something but ppl always use or blame race..aren’t ppl burnt out talking about skin color yet? How many ppl out there are legitimately full blown racist u think? It has to be a very very low % and def low enough that it doesn’t crack the top 100 of problems that should be discussed and take the stage but instead we keep this race topic going in a circle, if ppl stop talking about it and being victims of it it won’t exist… also the ppl funding hip hop aren’t white..their all Jews.
I don't think necro has reached the JQ yet but you're right, however you had to acknowledge that it's mainly blk folk who use race as a rhetorical divide whenever called out on their behavior outside of music.
i think it's more of a RAP thing than overall Hip-Hop...was gonna say more, but as I watched the video, i think you touched on the topic when you said you talkin mostly about mainstream, not underground. breakin for example is hella diverse. salute to you
It is what it is. Other than Living Color and Bad Brains, what other Black bands made it in Metal? I know for a fact that there are a lot of Black bands in Metal who were being disrespected for being Blacks. Basket Ball was invented by whytes, and it took a while for Blacks to dominate the sport so yes, Blacks are guests in the house of Basket Ball. Do you know that even with House and Techno music, that were created by Blacks, there was a time when it was hard for House Black DJs to mix in clubs? I don't get it, nobody challenges Mexicans for creating Mariachi music, whytes for creating Punk Rock, but when it comes to blacks it's "no, no, no. We created the turn table; therefore, Hip Hop is not yours, you can't have your own ish, it's ours."
As a genre though, it's the most ideal to be capitalized off of due to the nature of it being able to sample every genre n style of music from every time period of recorded music. Once it got out there enough for anyone to start making money off of mass audiences from it, it's foolish to expect it to stay within one demographic past the first wave
@@warhorrorspondent Anybody can rap if they want to. I like Action Branson a lot, and he's a whyte rapper. All I'm saying is, it's normal to be challenged if you're not from the community that created it. Like I said before, other than Living Color and Bad Brains, I don't know other black bands that made it in Metal. And we're talking since the 80s, early 90s. Lots of black bands tried, but they were being rejected. House music was created by blacks, but there was a time when it was hard for a black dj to mix House music in clubs, because most people thought that House music came from Europe. It is what it is.
Im 46 years old latino from Costa Rica. My younger brother and I have always been unto Hip Hop we were in our early 20s when we found your music abd were inmediately hooked! Yoi still the dopest freshest realest hip hop mc oit there. Also KRS ONE is like an actual teacher to me. So fresh hes one of your favorites as wel. PAZ mi hermano
I think it's important to zoom out of Hip Hop History specifically, and look at American History and our society as a whole. White males have always had a collective leg up in this country. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of poor white people struggling to get by, cuz there is.... but in America, being a white rapper might literally be the ONLY example of being white giving you an inherent disadvantage out of the gate. So its like, I understand the points being made here, but also boo-hoo.
I say boo hoo! These folks called our music jungle music and didn't want anything to do with it. Now they're acting like they've been a part of the culture all along!
Yeah, i mean, as a white dude, I kind of accept that people are gonna look at me as an outsider in hip hop discussions. I can't be super upset about it.
I don't even think white MCs have that much of a disadvantage, honestly. I mean, maybe if you're trying to fit in at a local level, but white dudes blow up on less skill than a black fellow would have.
@@MCLottotv "These folks"....."Now they're acting"... isn't this the same paint with the same brush prejudice that was decried decades ago when they where being unfairly ascribed to your people? The way you are phrasing it insinuates all of "these folks" as you put it, are in one category to all be judged the same....unless that's how you view it.
@@MCLottotv Listen to the interviews with Dante Ross, He has countless stories of how hip hop was eagerly adopted by the punk / new wave scene whilst the top black music executives hated on hip hop in favour of R&B and how black club owners didnt want hip hop culture in their clubs, especially B Boying
Necro I’ve been listing to you since 2004. Just want to say I agree with you. You were one of my inspirations. I gave up rapping. I faced the same racism in hip hop. I was told that wasn’t my culture and that I need to “stop acting black”. Thank you for exposing racism in rap.
You are right. I found necro an I'll bill in highschool an it changed my view on rap. An Latinos don't get the love either. Like king lil g is the shit. But I guess that's cuz I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood . I'm half Mexican half white. I've always felt like this
This just brought to mind when DJ Vlad had Lord Jamaar on, and LJ said white people don't belong in rap. That shit was like "yoo, you've made dope music but that is one of the fucking dumbest takes in music." EDIT: oh shit, yeah, you just mentioned Jamaar. You're right Necro, this shit ain't something too many people bring up. Been bumping your music for 2 decades now, respect.

@@necrovideo 👍 I got to get back in it, been 7-8 years since I released music and it's never gone away, I always get discouraged with the production side of things, I am gifted with lyricism, it just comes to me, but I am always lacking with no beat maker / producer, any tips on how to pursue finding someone to mesh with? I feel like thats the only thing holding me back! grew up as a student of the game, it raised me. got discouraged in the last 5 or so years seeing how most of the people I grew up listening to and being a fan of would seemingly hate me for my beliefs and views or how I look.
Whats good Necro. Love the content, good topic. I miss the ol MIX TAPE days. You earned your stripes like Schwartzkoph 😂😂Necro! Glenwood Projects , love that.
Holy shit, Necro. You are right. All this is facts. Color only seems to matter to a certain kind of person. A stupid person. Music is colorblind. I believe we are at a point where norms will change overnight because of conversations like this. They don’t know, bro. And you’re just the person to tell ‘em. I love this.
I remember reading an article in the Source back in the day that said over 70% of hip-hop album purchases were by whites. Imagine if that 70% didn't buy those albums. Hip-hop might not even exist. It's very insulting and disingenuous to say that a demographic that buys your albums, goes to your concerts, and supports you through word of mouth isn't part of the culture. From a business perspective it's also completely ridiculous. When K Dot did that performance in LA I seen comments saying "this is our culture" meanwhile the front rows of the concert were packed with white people. Insanity. When people came from all across the world to Egypt to buy jewelry and other elements of their culture, do you think they cared about appropriation? Culture should be shared so everyone can appreciate it and participate in it
Crazy to say hip-hop is racist. You all get crazier by the day. Hip hop isn't about gore or how fast you can rap. Learn its roots before you talk. And if you aint blac, you are a guest, you didn't create hip-hop.
@MCLottotv Real talk, and it's crazy if you look up this guy "necro." You'll see he's been crying about this since 2008. He finna go viral Inna bad way.
@@MCLottotv and all yall do is use white technology and culture and then turn around and shit and hate on white people. and then yall get mad for getting called out on yalls bullshit. lol black folks and this "culture" bullshit is one of the more goofier things that have come out recently haha straight cornball shit
there's always been racist bullshit with hip hop. some of the earliest pioneers were on that racist 5 percenter , nation of islam goofy shit. but yall get passes, yall have been conditioned that its ok for yall to be racist. the funniest thing is, throughout history all yall have done is cry and want to be included in "white spaces" and now yall are the only people who gate keep and cry when others do things in black space. i never seen any of yall say something like "blacks are guest in basketball and need to respect whites and the history of the sport."
Necro is a Hip Hop Historian and a beast. As an Asian kid that grew up in the Golden Age of Hip Hop, I feel the disrespect too! Hip Hop is about lyrics and real ish, it shouldn't be a woke agenda and racism. There are so many wack mcs out there, it's all fake clout now. The game has been lame forever now but the underground remains. PS where is Ming the Merciless? He was 🔥 in the Non Phixion dvd
I TRIED TO MAKE HIM A RAPPER - HE HAD POTENTIAL - HE HAD SOME DECENT THUG LYRICS - BUT HE WAS TOO CONCERNED WITH BEING A STREET DUDE AND LIVING THAT LIFE - BEING A RAPPER WAS TOO FOCUSED FOR HIM AT THE TIME - WAS NOT HIS CALLING I GUESS - WHAT YOU WANT YOU GO AFTER - I MADE BLACK HELICOPTERS FOR HIM ACTUALLY - COULD HAVE BEEN HIS FIRST CLASSIC AND NOBODY ASIAN WAS OUT AT THAT TIME THAT WAS A REAL THUG - HE COULD HAVE BEEN A LEGEND AND CHOSE TO NOT DO IT - OH WELL - CAN'T SAY I DID NOT TRY
@@necrovideo that would have been dope but yeah you could tell he was really about that life. that would have been huge for the Asian community. Black Helicopters is one of the best beats of all time. so is Ming still around? you guys still homies?
We don't care about that anymore in the black community. Feel disrespected all you want. Asian don’t care about black American. Only our music and money. White banks gave you loans for business but denied us so you could infiltrate the black community and exploit. Released FBI file. Go back to china music or kpop. I don’t see the any Asian community march with Black American
Let's not forget about Cypress Hill Necro ,they was a major deal especially in the 90s . Two Latino emcees ( shout of B-Real and Sen Dog ) with a white boy making the beats ( shout out DJ Muggs).
You said being rugged didn't work for you, but it did in your own way. I don't know if I would be aware of you if you didn't go so hard. You stood out to young men who were going hard in their own lives.
@@forex_shark6042 I remember i had dead body disposal on a burned cd. I memorized every line before i even knew who Necro was. Must have been like 2002. It wasnt nothin funny about it to me. I just knew the flow was crazy. The amount of chest and energy it would take me to rap along with that song let out a lot of my hatred while making me feel good for being able to mimic the vocal texture and power near perfectly. I remember busting all 3 verses in my car with my homie. He was trippin out at how dope that shit was. Been a die hard fan ever since.
Necro, RA the Rugged Man, and Cage all top talent. Everything you’re saying is true Necro. You bring the rawest darkest lyrics and beats 🎧 the mainstream fakes got nothing on you.
I enjoy your music, and alot of other NY artists/producers. But i also indulge in the native side of hiphop as well. I like it when people actually have something to say. A feeling of soul, a touch of emotion, and a hell of alot of realness. All blended into one.
Necro, Gortex (Lord GOAT), Big Punisher, Chino XL, Evidence, RA the Rugged man, Arsonists, Vinnie Paz, Immortal Technique... Just to name a few.... You ARE HIP-HOP! ❤
Respect for putting on a camera and saying what you really feel, no BS. That takes courage. That being said, you made some good points. I agree with about 75% of what you are saying, mostly about the skin color issues (and I'm an white MC also in the NYC underground, who is also a fan of HipHop from the very start, the 70s). One thing I was surprised by and that I don't agree with, is you said that you use the N-word. Did I mishear that? I don't understand why you would. It would make an interesting future video, to explain your thinking on that. People will debate in the comments, I always hated the word and never used it, but I'm curious about your thinking. Anyway, you do have a good podcaster/storyteller voice, so you should do very well in this space. And I don't hold against you that you threatened to punch me in the face one time 🤣🤣🤣. That's how it is in Brooklyn, in NYC and in the Underground, lol. ✌️
I saw benzino talking about how white rappers are finally disappearing from hip hop. I was laughing , I’m in Dallas , country rap is huge, there are more white rappers now than ever .
@@trollgod7565 Benzino's daughter is trash and so is he lol Benzino was in charge of the source and is a racist... Eminem was right for going at that dude. Facts
@necrovideo facts! He still a hater. A lot of self white haters out there. Swear the media brainwashed whites to hate themselves. But that's a whole convo in itself. Fuck all that soft ass shit tho.
it seems a bigger issue now than 30 years ago, its pathetic ...
@@bruceleeds7988 i think its a bigger issue for people who are not from the old school, the ones who didnt have to battle to get respect (on mics, turntables, walls, trains and on the dance floor) its only the idiots who think spotify numbers and instagram hits matter who seem fixated on it.
Black and Latinos and whites been getting down with all elements of Hip Hop for 50+ years. Hip hop always had Pro black beliefs.
All of Sudden cats like Lord Jamar, Dr Umar and Tariq Nasheed wanna rewrite history to push this political FBA shit in Hip Hop and tear down the unity we’ve had in the streets. im Dominican and i’ve dedicated my entire life to hip hop. Peace to the Gods but i love this shit too much to give up it
identity politics aka marxism has exploded in the last 12 years, all by design. you gotta control the sheeple.
Keep creating videos Necro. I feel like your buzz is super strong rn
Necro been buzzin for 20 plus years homie 😎
Blacks ruined hip hop.
I am too young to be from that first generation(41 so I am like the second generation), but hip hop spoke to me early. I am a white from a poor area in MA, and it was always mixed where I lived. Ain't even like NYC, where neighborhoods were racial, if you were poor you lived in the PJ's and I was poor. I grew up on NWA, KRS, Rakim and also was into metal(which explains why I am a Necro Fan since the 90s). I don't feel like a guest, I feel like hip hop is my home. I feel like I have supported it, respected it, and it has changed my life for the better. I don't accept I am a guest, and even if we were, you can't throw us out, hip hop belongs to everyone now. Its more pervasive than rock.
You mentioned how you have a unique perspective. You and your brother spoke to me, as a poor white kid with no one but his brother, surviving the ghetto while having a foot in metal, and the other in hip hop. The moment I heard yall(I heard Bill First) it was like yall were speaking to me personally. Eminem, I never related. Many did, but I WASN'T a surburban party kid, I was from the streets.
IF were listening to metal, then hip hop isnt your home. Same goes for necro. Those guys were listening to Anthrax and things like that until Wu Tang came out. The early classic rap cats only listened to rap and older (usually black) music.. This is afact. its not racism. When internet came, then came cultural diffusion and you see a hodgepodge of people enjoying same thing. But always remember the true heads came out of the root of black music. Dont let anyone fool you into thinking that you were a real hip hop head.
Never bow down to shit you don't agree with homie. Fukk skin color.
Yo Necro, you’ve been dope. And this introspective monologue was definitely needed. As a Latino rapper who’s dope as fuck, I felt this my whole life 💯
Until somebody brings up that most Latinos have Black African ancestry in their blood. At that point - I'm pretty sure that ethnic labeling becomes paramount to you.
I'm African-American, I don't subscribe to the narrative of someone being a guest. HIP-HOP is not a political party or a secret society, although Jamar is using it figuratively. The term hip-hop didn't exist in the beginning and the first element is graffiti, where there were many white and Latino writers, and some of them went to the second, which is breaking or B-boying. It's crazy, because there are some pioneers that would flip flop about who created hip-hop, depending who the interviewer is.
you aint FBA tho so stop it
@@catchwreck928 I'm much more of a negro than you. Miss me with this FBA bull ish. Tariq Nasheed stan
The problem is alot of the pioneers like Jamar, have racism ptsd
@@catchwreck928 ...so, not the right kind of black?🥴

But when you do come from the same environment? ...Oh But he's white he has it easier every where else ...why come into Rap ?... lmaoo straight gatekeeper mentality Racism and Haterism ... I also said something about this in your last video about why Nore don't respect white underground Rappers ... white Nerd lyrical kids Respect Eminem they dont Respect vanilla ice which I think he is the reason for giveing white rappers a bad image . But white Hardcore gully Goons Respect Necro !! I'm puerto Rican and I approve this message .. Respect to you Necro 💯
Black people had to die and protest just for white to allow them human rights like whites. And that was only in the fucking 60s. My grandmother is remembers the real racism, and here you are calling us racist in a country known for to be the most racist against black people. SMH.. this is why we call you guests in hip hop. Just like the best 2024 country song was not allow to win one award because for whites. Did you complain about that ?
Go cry to Vlad.
You toke rock and jazz so we created hip hop in the hood while dealing with REAL racism and discrimination. And you now want to kidnap hip hop.
You have stole everything from us and including our mind and body.
Go make country great again
Actually, I wish hip hop was more black like in the pre-smartphone days. Everything got terribly watered down in the fruityloops era.
Can we at least have the opportunity to lump all the people in the same group?
I agree with you hip hop got watered down, but black ppl contributed to it as much as other races. Bro, hip hop is worldwide movement, wonders have been made before/after the smartphone period by white/asian/african/latino guys, the list is long. It’s just you don’t know them.
When I hear “hip hop to be more black” I want to battle you dude, no matter you’re black or white (if white I would destroy the fool out of you, in freestyle of course). There’s no “ownership” in hip hop, everybody can contribute or risk to dilute it, this is the beauty and danger of the whole movement.
Petit con de cul blanc, arrête de baisser ton pantalon! ✨
@og why you deleted my comment? You’re not a true OG.
I disagree with what you say. BIG TIME.
I personally think Hip hop is a “black enough” today, the garbage and the good is everywhere, it’s an international movement!
Have you heard European/UK/Asian rappers? They are not black and they kill the shit, why you need more black rappers is maybe because you have too narrow horizons bro. Check a bit what‘s rap outside of the US ✨
@@bruiser4zerosvery true
No not all
case & point, the fact you are saying there should be any reference to skin colour numbers within hip hop = Racism
Tons of respect to you for this. Esp about bringing the argument of instrument technology into it. 100% valid .. ive been a white rapper/producer on the eastcoast for a long time and all this is on point. Also not being a leftist absolutely hurts you in the “culture” and industry
It’s not just hip hip….racism against whites is everywhere in corporate America thanks to “woke” culture. Love and respect Nec.
Thanks Necro! I look forward to your videos!
Necro is one of the very few rappers who gets realer and realer with time instead of wacker. Big respect bro, been listening to your shit since the mid 2000s. You and death rap are the reason I was introduced to rap in the first place and still listen to it today. I used to be one of those sheltered nerds who thought rap was trash until a buddy of mine put on Dead body disposal while we were smoking. I listen almost exclusively to rap these days, and have continued to listen to NECRO throughout...
The fact you made this video, and said these things that need to be said just solidifies my opinion of your dopeness both now and back then. You are one of the few I respect not only for your music, but for yourself and what you stand for as well. It takes balls to say these things in a world and culture that will 100% push back and shit on you for speaking the truth about it. Anyway, can't wait to hear your next shit.
Keep killing it lyrically and in shit like this. I know you will. Huge respect from Canada brother
Bro lucky he didn't go "rage for the machine" 😂
lord jamar is a hater because he never managed to make a decent solo album unlike Sadat x

One of the best and realest videos I’ve seen in a hot minute, hip hop needs you around Necro, you’re the only one saying what every hip hop fan and artist needs to hear right now. Keep cutting through the bullshit brotha, #MAKEHIPHOPGREATAGAIN
Necro, I have been a fan of yours since I was around my early/mid 20's. I just turned 40, yes I am white, and from Toronto. I have been called certain names for listening to hip hop, especially if it is a black artist. My common law partner only lets me blast hip hop if the artist is white and I don't understand that. Like Eminem, he got mad respect for him and he has never heard you, but I am going to show him your music. Keep up the awesome work, you make us proud (even though skin color shouldn't matter I agree with that) and I'm really feeling that song with you & Ill Bill the Billie Jean one lately. I played it for my friend this morning, and he was frkn howling, dude loved it. We love you Necro!!
You're common law partner sounds like a bitch and you're an even bigger bitch if you let him dictate what you're listening to!!!! 🤷

*Looptroop Rockers* from Sweden I saw them twice they embody the hip hop vibe. 🌅

*Dead’P* whose album was referred as Korean illmatic, not to mention Drunken Tiger/Tasha 👑
*Danielson* the Canadian dude who spits strict fire 🥊
*Portavoz* from Chile is doing wonders with his mad flow and loud beats 🏔️
Not to mention all the precious French rap stuff such as:

Diabolic is criminally underrated and Liar and a thief is a classic album front to back .
Love the video's keep them up, you seem to be a lot more chilled out these days too!! Maybe one day you could do a video on the downfall of NYC Hip Hop, Who was to blame? And how come there's nobody left apart from you keeping that gritty NYC style alive.
I remember the comments that Ice T and KRS said about Soulja Boy. Fans of Soulja clowned them over their age - like they were just hating because of being oldheads.
Soulja clowned Ice and he later apologized. That's why I didn't like Soulja but I respect his hustle. I don't dislike Soulja but I don't listen to him
Soulja knows better but is controlled but also wants to be his own thing that's why he doesn't have hits anymore. Hes smarter than he looks and acts, I know it's hard to believe lol.

Always great to hear you speak OG, keep dropping videos don’t stop always appreciate the content. Boosie is from Baton Rouge by the way.
Slug woulda got a lot more props if he looked “blacker”. Invented emo-rap and is completely written out of it
Imagine if xxxtentacion lived long enough to collab with Slug
Slug’s emo rap title thing was a pi55take. It was a dig at the industry. He also called it some shit like prom-queen rap at some point.
I disagree. If anything if he looked "blacker" whatever than means then he would get no props at all
Keeping it real, as always. Props Necro. Respect from Upstate NY.
If you’re respecting the art then nothing else matters. Everyone knows who created hip hop and the blues It’s a given. Doesn’t mean others can’t embrace the art though and run with it with their own style and add to the culture. Artist get it. Fans don’t necessarily get it though because a lot of fans dabble in hip hop and don’t know the history and then speak on it.
Yeah that's exactly the problem. These people think they know what hip hop is because they're fans of the music. In reality they're in fact clueless.
@ yep and make arguments based off the latest RUclips video they watched instead of really getting immersed into the music and culture. When we’re growing up we knew we had to really know about Black Sabbath or zeppelin before we spoke about it or we’d be clowned. Time to challenge these kids a bit like my generation was challenged. In the end they’ll thank us
Loving these videos. keep them coming! Necro goat
Its a double, or maybe even triple edged sword. I do think that as a white fan or participant you have to keep in mind that for many decades, for every one person who was legitimately passionate about the culture, there were ten vultures, predatory execs, etc. I also think within the broader context of American society, it makes sense why black Americans would feel pretty defensive and protective over the artform that has acted as their platform (and avenue to genuine financial power and influence) within wider culture.
On the other hand, I agree on an interpersonal level it's completely wack to judge anyone via color alone. And I definitely think being a white hip-hop head is a struggle at times where you're constantly treated as an outsider regardless of your level of involvement, knowledge, support, etc. That being said, many of the highest-grossing rap acts ever are white. The idea that it's totally impossible to be mainstream as a white rapper isn't true - Eminem is the biggest act ever, El-P has achieved borderline-mainstream success via Run The Jewels, Mac Miller is beloved, and for every one of these genuine acts there's five Post Malones that posture as hip-hop-adjacent acts to make money and then abandon it once they're famous to appeal to a wider mainstream audience.
It's a complicated and sensitive conversation - but I understand emotionally where you're coming from. It's definitely annoying that even as a lifelong fan of hip-hop, people more or less will laugh in your face or assume you're an Eminem stan or whatever if you so much as mention liking hip-hop. I dunno.
Here's a real fun fact: if all your race does is whine about shit eventually nobody cares what color you are because you're fucking annoying and have nothing worth saying to say anymore
I’m 44 from Canberra Australia..
Firstly props to you Necro for coming here years ago I was spewing I missed knowing you were here and hopefully you come again sometime even if it just the bigger cities (Sydney, Melbourne etc) but to me that shows your dedication to the *game* and *fans* doing dope grimey small/personal shows in every part of the world! That’s a measure of a true Hip Hop artist’s 🔥
As a kid here in OZ all that was on offer on tv in the 80’s (only source of the outside world I had before obtaining money) here was big hair power bands - Gun’s n Roses, Aerosmith, Skid Row etc (was like it was systematically on repeat/ jammed down our necks) so when I happened to come across a Christmas compilation cassette with Run DMC “Christmas in Hollis” in about 89’ it was a breath of fresh air and fun and I was instantly hooked and immediately started to chase the genre which yielded Public Enemy, LL Cool J etc (note Australia was not easy finding Hip Hop related cassettes back then) and throughout most the 90’s I seemed a bit of a social misfit as “rock” still dominated here (now I will admit it became easier when G-funk & Pac hit as then it became more popular.. and apart from Biggie, Nas & Wutang NY Hip Hop even still till this day doesn’t get the props it should here)
On Eminem - I respect Eminem’s lyricism and storytelling/joking but I can’t stand the blatant “nasal white toned voice” that I feel has been planted/popularised/pushed by **big music corp** that has obviously made him *blow up* amongst the masses and has made his style the only “white sound” eg. If grimey white rapper comes out (that is actually 🔥) sounding somewhat black he’s labelled “oh he not like Eminem” or “look at him trying to be gangsta” and that is Eminem and any other nasal rappers curse!
When you say White and Latino get somewhat catorgised the same I unfortunately think the next biggest **commercialised Latino rapper** was B-Real and guess what **NASAL** (I’m a fan of both Em & Cypress Hill but in a way think whites and Latino have been categorised similarly because of Em & B-Real by the masses.. and Snoop was overlooked 😆)
Anyway that my 2cents from Australia.. Salute!
Your’re a great Hip Hop artist! Thanks for the words!! Happy Holidays my peeps!!

Keo Xmen is one of the biggest legend alive in regards to graffiti artists. He's white.
Graff world is completely different from the Rap industry though
No one even mentions all the dope Native and Asian American rappers, they still haven't got their respect.
It's not racism, but it's definitely gatekeeping. Look at somebody like Kid Rock. This is a guy who was embraced and mentored by the black emcees in the Detroit area and used that cred to get on. Then, not only does he never throw it back to those guys but gets into some pretty overtly racist shit himself in terms of who he tours with etc. Completely abandons it to become a country boy whatever.
It's the idea that these people are not part of the culture, so they're gonna do what Kid Rock did; use it to get put on and then forget it when he gets where he wants to be. Of course, that doesn't describe everyone, but I do think it is the fear that facilitates a lot of what you're talking about.
it's anti-white racism, yes it is
do you say the same of beyonce ?

Much respect for this video, I think it's a very necessary topic to be discuss.

This is an interesting discussion. You brought up some good points.
White rappers in France, Germany, UK etc. never had this problem. These scenes involved everyone like NYC did in the Beginning.
Europe is criminally overlooked. Some great MCs from Spain, France, Norway, UK has tons of good Indy labels like High Focus.
...and germany has some real good producers!
How many black rappers does Germany produce?
@@waxoftriple9 relevant how? Why specifically Germany? Most rappers in Germany I’d say are actually Turks.

HAHAHA - THAT WILL BE A VIDEO - THE TIME I WENT UP TO LOUD TO MEET DEAD PREZ
I remember you talking about it around 2007-2009
I want to hear about this too, their first album was so revolutionary.
They could've used it 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, this is a very interesting conversation, and of course Necro has the balls to talk about it!
I gotta admit when i first heard Necro n Cage saying "niqqa" i was thrown off. They was real comfortable with it too. Btw...Puerto Ricans didn't invent break dancing. There's plenty of Black underground rappers who don't get the time of day...more mainstream club orientated rap music was always given more media attention hence why Souljah Boy dance friendly sound would be more accepted than Roc Marciano. Has nothing to do with race. Horror core was too gimmicky to last which is why Necro n others like him didn't blow up...not cuz he's White. Fat Joe started making radio friendly rap n blew...not his hardcore stuff or when he was supposedly more feared. A lot of guys just aren't marketable...n that's a fact. Plenty of Black rappers tried to diss Eminen n a lot of Black ppl came to his defense becuz they like his music. He found a way to make himself marketable unlike a lot of other White rappers. R&B/Soul doesn't have a lot White artists in it either. Certain genres of music are more dominated by certain races than others. Just like a certain group of ppl own the entertainment industry n decide who gets signed...so blame them if u looking fir an excuse as to why things are the way they are in the music industry.
If you take credit for the good then take credit for the bad, record companies don't target whatever isn't hitting and unfortunately your community loves licentious and decadent culture ╮(╯▽╰)╭ which is why 80% of your artists will still be dark YNs not jake from statefarm.
15:49 “i rather be feared than loved because the fear lasts longer” off the I shot ya remix.. i think the line is from Sonny in Bronx tale
Respect G Necro always keeps it 💯🫡🦾🦾🤘
Music genres and categories are over rated. Essentially, rhyming over music has been going on for thousands of years. I remember Snoop Dogg even saying that country music is basically rap and that Johnny Cash was his favorite rapper. Good music is good music.
exactly, always makes me laugh when people want to act like words over a beat started in NY in the last 60-75 years
Loving this series. I think I'm Necro's age & I remember when being into hiphop was not considered cool for a white kid at all.
I dare to say that Racism and hate are vital components in Hip Hop. That hate is part of the energy that started it all. The Golden Era was primarily driven by Black Nationalists and 5%ers (which turned out to be a gimmick). When a dope white emcee can survive or thrive in that hateful, competitive game its almost like a balancing of what Black men faced in America up until about 20 years ago. Ironically, Hip Hop race conciousness ish helped to shape the "color blind" 90s. Now that the culture has been thorougly coopted by corporate and government interests Hip Hop only serves to create shortlived cultural artifacts and producrs to reinforce the only thing that unifies all modern, Western peoples: Materialism. Part of what us older heads miss about the Phat Beats/Golden Era is the ability to exercise freedom of association and the freedom to tackle race in a direct, often humorous way. That ethos largely came out of New York borroughs that were divided. Sorry Necro, didnt mean to drop books in yo comments section. Good vid. Keep the discussion going. Peace
just to preface my comment, eye Love everyone, but om wondering how is the 5% a gimmick? If you hypothetically snapped your fingers and magically made the 5% disappear frum history, Hip Hop wouldn't even exist! The founder of the 5%, Allah, formerly known as Clarence 13X didn't have any problem with righteous white people. He was very close with the Republican Mayor of NYC at the time and Allah gave him a Universal Flag. The Mayor gave him the building now known as the Allah School. Just because a segment of the adherents of a certain religion or school of thought have questionable behavior doesn't nullify that religion or school of thought.
@mattycakesmuhammmad 5% or NOI in and of itself is not a gimmick. How it was used in Hip Hop was ultimately a gimmick.
maybe it was only allowed to be a gimmick but label suits or cia pigs wouldnt allow it to be a mainstay. Maybe alot of katts that pushed it for awhile were frontin'. Maybe a bit of it all.
"Systemic racism includes the complex array of antiblack practices, the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites, the continuing economic and other resource inequalities along racial lines, and the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power.
“Systemic here means that the core racist realities are manifested in each of society’s major parts [...] each major part of U.S. society-the economy, politics, education, religion, the family-reflects the fundamental reality of systemic racism." - “Racist America: Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations” by Sociologists Dr. Joe Feagin

Excellently stated…
100% agree with EVERYTHING you said! I’d love to see you debate Jamar face to face
With 30 years in the game, having a platform to talk about this is big. Alot of things to be said , stories told and I think these videos are great
This videos are awesome, keep it up Necro 💪🏻🔥
Dont forget Kraftwerk.... they were pivotal in the creation of all forms of modern music
WORD - BAMBATTA USED THEM - I'M SURE HE WOULD SALUTE THEM BUT SADLY HE IS MJ STATUS NOW
Infuggingdeed!
@@necrovideo 'Numbers' by kraftwerk is the backbone of countless hip hop classics be it NY, West coast and then Miami bass, they all need more props... Well done for calling out this trend of shitting on B Boys/Girls based on skin colour, i really thought that narrow minded shit was left behind in the 60's but i guess these click baiters are running out of useful stuff to say.. Hip Hop is Worldwide and has been for decades, and everyone respects where it comes from so these idiots should find a better way to contribute to the culture. Peace
Kraftwerk gets plenty of props by the early generation. Marley Marl has always given Kraftwerk & Arthur Baker, Giorgio Moroder their props. The issue is nobody is trying to steal Kraftwerk's music. We don't own magazines to cross over into another music genre not ours and make these ridiculous greatest lists. Especially from people who aren't from the culture. There are so many not our culture or skin color who have robbed the brothas for there money, while putting there kids through college,. They will let us say nigga a million times per record. But if u say jew, they will make u take it off, or erase it. Look how they came at Ice-T and Ice Cube when they were saying racist shit and going at the cops. But when Eminem says nigger going at black women etc, they tried to hide it and sweep it under the rug. It's more about the people in power and the mainstream. Cos all the underground white dudes I know love hip hop. Most respect the culture and accept to being guests in the art form. They don't try to steal the shit and act like they created or I invented it.
You should team up with ice t and body count that would be sick
The Fat Joe line is from the LL Cool J "i shot ya" remix..
I'd rather be feared than loved because the fear last longer.. bangin song. Prodigy's verse was sick!
Yo Necro! The cap and hoodie is a supercool so Salute Mr Necro💯✌🏾🔥🫠🍻
In my opinion, the culture of hip-hop is not racist. Hip-Hop is a reaction to racism but acceptance isn't based on race. Hip-Hop used to be gate kept based on skill, that started to change in the '90s with the commercial rap that started coming out. The Bad Boy era with the champagne and designer clothes. And there's some great artists from the South like OutKast, TI, and Ludacris, but there were a lot of southern acts that begin to rule radio and really blow up in the last 20 years or so. As far as white rappers go, it's not a race thing. Hip-hop is about skills. 3rd Bass was dope but Vanilla Ice and most of the other white rappers who were out back in the day weren't that good. Eminem broke the stigma but #1 he had pop appeal and #2 he had the Dre cosign. If not for that he would've been a dope underground MC shrouded in obscurity. And you can't name another white rapper who has been able to be on the same level as Eminem. Is that racism? No. Big Pun is Latin. There's a lot of great Latin MCs. But there's just one Pun. You either gotta have skills pop appeal or both. How can Hip-Hop be racist when the majority of mainstream rappers are black (the main victims of racism)?
ok I KNOW you're not gonna like this example because you're probably a hip hop purist and don't respect these artists, but most of those "popular white rappers" are not in this sphere but online, memphis phonk influenced bands like salem, sad boy acts like drain gang and goth boy clique, people like lil ugly mane and gab3 influenced an entire generation of rap and rap adjacent styles comparable to any 90's artist influence.
@IbnRushd-mv3fp I never heard of those acts but I try to be objective as far as the music I like. Somebody could be a purple alien from outer space and I would champion them if they're dope. I think people get overlooked but it's not because of race. It's because the mainstream overlooks everybody who's not making that Tik Tok viral dance bs rap that a lot of people like. Groups like OutKast, Eminem, Wu-Tang, Nas are an exception to that rule, but marketability and garnering social media attention is the name of the game today.
Props to you Big Homie! One of the biggest issues of hiphop that is never addressed by the media and those at the commercial side of it.
That's your big homie?
@colegabeats those your lame ass beats on your page?
1:58 I agree everything you’re saying
It’s funny how a million things can factor into something but ppl always use or blame race..aren’t ppl burnt out talking about skin color yet? How many ppl out there are legitimately full blown racist u think? It has to be a very very low % and def low enough that it doesn’t crack the top 100 of problems that should be discussed and take the stage but instead we keep this race topic going in a circle, if ppl stop talking about it and being victims of it it won’t exist… also the ppl funding hip hop aren’t white..their all Jews.
I don't think necro has reached the JQ yet but you're right, however you had to acknowledge that it's mainly blk folk who use race as a rhetorical divide whenever called out on their behavior outside of music.
i think it's more of a RAP thing than overall Hip-Hop...was gonna say more, but as I watched the video, i think you touched on the topic when you said you talkin mostly about mainstream, not underground. breakin for example is hella diverse. salute to you
It is what it is. Other than Living Color and Bad Brains, what other Black bands made it in Metal? I know for a fact that there are a lot of Black bands in Metal who were being disrespected for being Blacks. Basket Ball was invented by whytes, and it took a while for Blacks to dominate the sport so yes, Blacks are guests in the house of Basket Ball. Do you know that even with House and Techno music, that were created by Blacks, there was a time when it was hard for House Black DJs to mix in clubs? I don't get it, nobody challenges Mexicans for creating Mariachi music, whytes for creating Punk Rock, but when it comes to blacks it's "no, no, no. We created the turn table; therefore, Hip Hop is not yours, you can't have your own ish, it's ours."
As a genre though, it's the most ideal to be capitalized off of due to the nature of it being able to sample every genre n style of music from every time period of recorded music. Once it got out there enough for anyone to start making money off of mass audiences from it, it's foolish to expect it to stay within one demographic past the first wave
@@warhorrorspondent Anybody can rap if they want to. I like Action Branson a lot, and he's a whyte rapper. All I'm saying is, it's normal to be challenged if you're not from the community that created it. Like I said before, other than Living Color and Bad Brains, I don't know other black bands that made it in Metal. And we're talking since the 80s, early 90s. Lots of black bands tried, but they were being rejected. House music was created by blacks, but there was a time when it was hard for a black dj to mix House music in clubs, because most people thought that House music came from Europe. It is what it is.

Lord Jamar Goes Hard On Us !
Im 46 years old latino from Costa Rica. My younger brother and I have always been unto Hip Hop we were in our early 20s when we found your music abd were inmediately hooked! Yoi still the dopest freshest realest hip hop mc oit there. Also KRS ONE is like an actual teacher to me. So fresh hes one of your favorites as wel. PAZ mi hermano
I think it's important to zoom out of Hip Hop History specifically, and look at American History and our society as a whole. White males have always had a collective leg up in this country. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of poor white people struggling to get by, cuz there is.... but in America, being a white rapper might literally be the ONLY example of being white giving you an inherent disadvantage out of the gate. So its like, I understand the points being made here, but also boo-hoo.
I say boo hoo! These folks called our music jungle music and didn't want anything to do with it. Now they're acting like they've been a part of the culture all along!
Yeah, i mean, as a white dude, I kind of accept that people are gonna look at me as an outsider in hip hop discussions. I can't be super upset about it.
I don't even think white MCs have that much of a disadvantage, honestly. I mean, maybe if you're trying to fit in at a local level, but white dudes blow up on less skill than a black fellow would have.
@@MCLottotv "These folks"....."Now they're acting"... isn't this the same paint with the same brush prejudice that was decried decades ago when they where being unfairly ascribed to your people? The way you are phrasing it insinuates all of "these folks" as you put it, are in one category to all be judged the same....unless that's how you view it.
@@MCLottotv Listen to the interviews with Dante Ross, He has countless stories of how hip hop was eagerly adopted by the punk / new wave scene whilst the top black music executives hated on hip hop in favour of R&B and how black club owners didnt want hip hop culture in their clubs, especially B Boying
Necro I’ve been listing to you since 2004. Just want to say I agree with you. You were one of my inspirations. I gave up rapping. I faced the same racism in hip hop. I was told that wasn’t my culture and that I need to “stop acting black”. Thank you for exposing racism in rap.
Lord Jamar is a flat earther, his opinion is null and void.......
Weak rapper.. race baiter... trying to stay relevant.. now turning on b boys..
You are right. I found necro an I'll bill in highschool an it changed my view on rap. An Latinos don't get the love either. Like king lil g is the shit. But I guess that's cuz I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood . I'm half Mexican half white. I've always felt like this
This just brought to mind when DJ Vlad had Lord Jamaar on, and LJ said white people don't belong in rap. That shit was like "yoo, you've made dope music but that is one of the fucking dumbest takes in music." EDIT: oh shit, yeah, you just mentioned Jamaar.
You're right Necro, this shit ain't something too many people bring up. Been bumping your music for 2 decades now, respect.
HE WAS SIGNED AND PRODUCED BY A WHITE BOY
Jewish peoples influence and impact on Hip Hop is highly down played and disrespected
😔
@@brighthought11 YEAH EVEN THOUGH TOM SILVERMAN IS KIND OF A DICKHEAD - HE STILL CREATED TOMMY BOY - SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT REMOVE HIM AND YOU MIGHT HAVE NO DE LA SOUL OR NAUGHTY OR HOUSE OF PAIN
@@necrovideo 👍
I got to get back in it, been 7-8 years since I released music and it's never gone away, I always get discouraged with the production side of things, I am gifted with lyricism, it just comes to me, but I am always lacking with no beat maker / producer, any tips on how to pursue finding someone to mesh with? I feel like thats the only thing holding me back!
grew up as a student of the game, it raised me.
got discouraged in the last 5 or so years seeing how most of the people I grew up listening to and being a fan of would seemingly hate me for my beliefs and views or how I look.
Whats good Necro. Love the content, good topic. I miss the ol MIX TAPE days. You earned your stripes like Schwartzkoph 😂😂Necro! Glenwood Projects , love that.
Holy shit, Necro. You are right. All this is facts. Color only seems to matter to a certain kind of person. A stupid person. Music is colorblind. I believe we are at a point where norms will change overnight because of conversations like this. They don’t know, bro. And you’re just the person to tell ‘em. I love this.
I remember reading an article in the Source back in the day that said over 70% of hip-hop album purchases were by whites. Imagine if that 70% didn't buy those albums. Hip-hop might not even exist. It's very insulting and disingenuous to say that a demographic that buys your albums, goes to your concerts, and supports you through word of mouth isn't part of the culture. From a business perspective it's also completely ridiculous. When K Dot did that performance in LA I seen comments saying "this is our culture" meanwhile the front rows of the concert were packed with white people. Insanity. When people came from all across the world to Egypt to buy jewelry and other elements of their culture, do you think they cared about appropriation? Culture should be shared so everyone can appreciate it and participate in it
Facts!
Much respect Necro
Crazy to say hip-hop is racist. You all get crazier by the day. Hip hop isn't about gore or how fast you can rap. Learn its roots before you talk. And if you aint blac, you are a guest, you didn't create hip-hop.
These folks just disrespectful! Funny they didn't want to be a part of the culture and now all of a sudden they're the creators of the culture!
@MCLottotv Real talk, and it's crazy if you look up this guy "necro." You'll see he's been crying about this since 2008. He finna go viral Inna bad way.
@@MCLottotv and all yall do is use white technology and culture and then turn around and shit and hate on white people. and then yall get mad for getting called out on yalls bullshit. lol black folks and this "culture" bullshit is one of the more goofier things that have come out recently haha straight cornball shit
there's always been racist bullshit with hip hop. some of the earliest pioneers were on that racist 5 percenter , nation of islam goofy shit. but yall get passes, yall have been conditioned that its ok for yall to be racist. the funniest thing is, throughout history all yall have done is cry and want to be included in "white spaces" and now yall are the only people who gate keep and cry when others do things in black space. i never seen any of yall say something like "blacks are guest in basketball and need to respect whites and the history of the sport."
there was dudes in poland that wer rapping in polish about polish stuff in the 1980s same with germany too i think.
greece also has a big hip hop community since the 80s also, comes out of the greek version of the blues called rebetiko
Necro is a Hip Hop Historian and a beast. As an Asian kid that grew up in the Golden Age of Hip Hop, I feel the disrespect too! Hip Hop is about lyrics and real ish, it shouldn't be a woke agenda and racism. There are so many wack mcs out there, it's all fake clout now. The game has been lame forever now but the underground remains. PS where is Ming the Merciless? He was 🔥 in the Non Phixion dvd
I TRIED TO MAKE HIM A RAPPER - HE HAD POTENTIAL - HE HAD SOME DECENT THUG LYRICS - BUT HE WAS TOO CONCERNED WITH BEING A STREET DUDE AND LIVING THAT LIFE - BEING A RAPPER WAS TOO FOCUSED FOR HIM AT THE TIME - WAS NOT HIS CALLING I GUESS - WHAT YOU WANT YOU GO AFTER - I MADE BLACK HELICOPTERS FOR HIM ACTUALLY - COULD HAVE BEEN HIS FIRST CLASSIC AND NOBODY ASIAN WAS OUT AT THAT TIME THAT WAS A REAL THUG - HE COULD HAVE BEEN A LEGEND AND CHOSE TO NOT DO IT - OH WELL - CAN'T SAY I DID NOT TRY
@@necrovideo that would have been dope but yeah you could tell he was really about that life. that would have been huge for the Asian community. Black Helicopters is one of the best beats of all time. so is Ming still around? you guys still homies?
Based hip hop is what the world needs
We don't care about that anymore in the black community. Feel disrespected all you want. Asian don’t care about black American. Only our music and money. White banks gave you loans for business but denied us so you could infiltrate the black community and exploit. Released FBI file. Go back to china music or kpop.
I don’t see the any Asian community march with Black American
🔥content. Hope this blows up
Let's not forget about Cypress Hill Necro ,they was a major deal especially in the 90s . Two Latino emcees ( shout of B-Real and Sen Dog ) with a white boy making the beats ( shout out DJ Muggs).
LSOB and kid frost before Cypress
@@jessiemartinez3056 they may have came out before Cypress Hill but Cypress was more famous
@@misfittv313 yes thats true cypress was more mainstream rap,, even Soul Assassins were dope!
You said being rugged didn't work for you, but it did in your own way. I don't know if I would be aware of you if you didn't go so hard. You stood out to young men who were going hard in their own lives.
Pause
@@forex_shark6042 I remember i had dead body disposal on a burned cd. I memorized every line before i even knew who Necro was. Must have been like 2002. It wasnt nothin funny about it to me. I just knew the flow was crazy. The amount of chest and energy it would take me to rap along with that song let out a lot of my hatred while making me feel good for being able to mimic the vocal texture and power near perfectly. I remember busting all 3 verses in my car with my homie. He was trippin out at how dope that shit was. Been a die hard fan ever since.
@@necrovideo You called DMX a flavor... That's a super pause..
This is the realest talk I’ve ever heard about the state of rap today.
Mad Respect to u Necro👑
Necro, RA the Rugged Man, and Cage all top talent. Everything you’re saying is true Necro. You bring the rawest darkest lyrics and beats 🎧 the mainstream fakes got nothing on you.
Thank You,
this opened my mind.
I've only heard one song by you.
I will explore your work further.
I like your honesty but I don't agree, color is much deeper than what you are trying to say
Necro don't lie. He speaks straight truth. Love him or hate him. He's a beast.
These blogs are fucking awesome. The world needs a Necro podcast.
Good idea
I enjoy your music, and alot of other NY artists/producers. But i also indulge in the native side of hiphop as well. I like it when people actually have something to say. A feeling of soul, a touch of emotion, and a hell of alot of realness. All blended into one.
Necro, Gortex (Lord GOAT), Big Punisher, Chino XL, Evidence, RA the Rugged man, Arsonists, Vinnie Paz, Immortal Technique... Just to name a few.... You ARE HIP-HOP! ❤
Respect for putting on a camera and saying what you really feel, no BS. That takes courage.
That being said, you made some good points. I agree with about 75% of what you are saying, mostly about the skin color issues (and I'm an white MC also in the NYC underground, who is also a fan of HipHop from the very start, the 70s).
One thing I was surprised by and that I don't agree with, is you said that you use the N-word. Did I mishear that? I don't understand why you would. It would make an interesting future video, to explain your thinking on that.
People will debate in the comments, I always hated the word and never used it, but I'm curious about your thinking.
Anyway, you do have a good podcaster/storyteller voice, so you should do very well in this space. And I don't hold against you that you threatened to punch me in the face one time 🤣🤣🤣. That's how it is in Brooklyn, in NYC and in the Underground, lol. ✌️
I saw benzino talking about how white rappers are finally disappearing from hip hop. I was laughing , I’m in Dallas , country rap is huge, there are more white rappers now than ever .
