its black history month so i won't :3
ppl are rustled because they remember the tradition of the White Rapper (different from the Rapper Who Happens To Be White).
think your lil dickys, your vanillas ice. very awww shucks isn't this rap thing just a hoot? instead of trying legit hard to make something respecting the legacy + culture, they kinda just cultural tourism it. which makes for shitty rap, PLUS being disrespectful -_-
and so we come back to callimori, a nonblack person in the guise of a pale wispy waifu— breaking the hip hop charts with a goofy, geeky, gothy tongue-in-cheek ep.
callimori is something that only exists because the internet, and she knows it: her voice is a brash punk affectation (reedy with nerves), her lyrics are laced with overwrought manga scanlation-style trash talk, and her branding is giving me flashbacks to hot topic in 2011.
if someone superchatted her, asking about dj kool herc's 1973 back to school jam, would she blank them? if someone brought her on for a morning radio freestyle, would she freeze? probably. but her audience doesn't give a single fuck, and the checks cash either way.
end of the day, i think she's really trying. from what sundae say, she do care about music.
if she switches up her flow and production, i may join the callimori stanbase. in the mean time im gonna rate this record a 69.420 because it's got a good beat and i can really dance to it
.......
it can stick in the craws of rap faithfuls that a cartoon "stole" their streams, thanks to an audience that at least in part thinks the rest of rap is all bitches whips and WAPs.
thinking about it im gonna say it's like libertarians "stealing" dem votes: hyperparasocializing weebs probably weren't gonna be on your side anyway.
in a perfect world, the first big vtube rapper would have both bars and better integration into the culture, but vtube is inherently absurd and disruptive and its probably gonna stay that way
where the black vtuber rappers at though seriously

i wanna see some competing disses. vtube live soundclashes. Please god
