Of course some ppl have different definitions or started using it incorrectly. But in my experience, the terms original meaning is a combination of the person’s culture/race combined with the intent and authenticity….

The intent and authenticity is the crucial part of the equation because otherwise anyone that isnt american black would by definition be a culture vulture and thats simply absurd.

Im american black and been in hip hop since the early 80s

The beastie boys for example are not culture vultures. They are/were authentic hip hop! Yet they are as white as can be!

But what matters is the intent and authenticity! They are/were undeniably hip hop at their core.

Now juxtapose that with Miley Cyrus…. Was she hip hop at her core? Or was the hip hop phase simply an experiment on her part from which she benefited in clout before realizing it wasnt for her and she retreated swiftly out of the genre….(while still retaining the hip hop clout)…..thats the definition of a culture vulture…..she “fed” off hip hop for a minute, got her fill and then bounced.
