Why Hip-Hop music?


Isn't that racist?

I just tire of every movie trailer that comes out having some hip hop rap garbage in it...

Where the bagpipes in Braveheart racist?

I seem to remember Irish pipes being used in Braveheart. 😅

Fuck! Cultural appropriation!!! Also, the use of blue face! Fuck this movie!

I know right? Using Irish pipes because they're prettier sounding... smh

According to movies. The only music a black person can enjoy is rap. Maybe someday there make a movie about Black Person who likes Jazz.

I don't know if it's racist but it has a double marketing use:

1 - "if RAP/HIP-HOP, therefore it's for the black Americans to see" kind of message [hip-hop culture and all that]
2 - Hip-Hop and rap; ie: "the definition" of the American blacks, kind of idea. As if whites only listen to rock and Pop.

The movie and trailers are all built to rub on the black American ego. Meanwhile, if you are not American [or black, for that matter] you can see it from miles away and laugh at it [you'll be called "racist", which is even funnier]

Besides the annoying rap and hip-hop on a movie that takes place in Africa [it would be far more suitable to use a mix of tribal kind of music and Industrial [to emphasize the different aspects of Wakanda, ie - traditionalist yet advanced], or the one used in CW for the BP motif in that same movie - worked pretty well there], there are other motifs used in trailers ad nauseam that makes me cringe:

- the single mid-octave piano note with lots of reverb
- a female singing in whispers a "a Capella" version of a well known classic or sentence [ex: AoU]
- a techno remix of a classic

There are others, but these are the ones I find the most egregious.

Hip Hop ruined the music industry. There are some good songs, but they don't get played on regular radio.

It's an American movie, primarily about America... Hip hope is the most popular music in the US...
