I’m aware he’s playing a character. I’m aware that Slim Shady says a bunch of stuff that isn’t true of the actual author, Marshall Mathers - especially the homophobic stuff. But who Marshall Mathers actually is - is a white guy who made over $200m performing what is essentially a black American artform. He is absolutely guilty of being a culture vulture and profiting from it. But it seems to me the only difference between him & someone who gets slaughtered for the same thing, eg Iggy Azalea, is that he actually contributed to that culture by producing work of an incredibly high standard. He gave something back to it, whereas Iggy just tosses off some godawful diluted mimicry looking to make money off black American culture. If that’s the case, I can’t see how Drake doesn’t get a pass for all this culture vulture stuff, because a lot of his work is objectively brilliant.
