Slim Thug has said he doesn’t like Jewish people owning Black music.
During an Instagram Live this past weekend, the Houston rapper aired out his grievances with the Hip Hop industry and called for the culture to be placed into the hands of Black people exclusively.
“Jewish people should own Drake — Drake is Jewish. Jewish people should own Jewish music,” he said. “I don’t like that Jewish people own Black music. I don’t want Jewish people who are not a part of the culture to own the culture. I want only Black people to own Black music.
“Until we fix that, I don’t like it. If you ain’t Jewish, why the fuck you own a Jewish rapper’s music? If you don’t listen to that shit, why you own that? Nah, we not on that. We need to take the culture back. While these Black people broke, we need to own our music.”
After someone off-camera asked him if he believes that should apply to each race and genre of music, Slim Thug replied: “It should be that for every race. If you Jewish, you should own Jewish music. If you white, you should own white music, country music.
“Spanish people should own Spanish music. Yeah, everybody who from their race should own their shit. So that’s not racist; that’s equal.”
While Thug didn’t name anybody specifically, he voiced support for Dame Dash, who frequently butted heads with non-Black music executives during his time running Roc-A-Fella Records.
“We don’t want people culture vulturing us. We going at all the culture vultures,” he added. “That’s why tried to push Dame Dash to the side. Dame Dash was right — he was standing on business.”
Slim Thug recently made similar comments about DJ Vlad, who he accused of being a culture vulture.
“How the fuck is a n-gga named Vlad talkin’ ’bout a Black man in here?” he said on Instagram Live last month. “What he got goin’ on? Y’all just bop on anything. Y’all lettin’ a n-gga named Vlad tell y’all something.”
He continued: “White people reportin’ this news to y’all. All kind of weirdos tellin’ you this shit. Stop the cap, man. This me, though. This my news station. And if they keep playin’ with me, I’ma start talkin’ ’bout them motherfuckers. They better leave me alone.
“Vlad Escobar. What the fuck is Vlad? What name is that? Where is that from? What nationality is that? Cuz I don’t know how it’s a Vlad tellin’ Black people news […] How’s we cool with this? German is German. Is we lettin’ a German get all this money off us?”
Slim Thug is not the first rapper to engage in antisemitic rhetoric. Kanye West has faced heavy backlash since last year for expressing his support for Adolf Hitler and making numerous negative comments about Jewish people.
Ice Cube has also been accused of antisemitism for things he has said in his songs, as well as posts he has made online including sharing anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and misinformation.
Yea but did get really say something antisemitic? He just stated his opinion which he has the freedom to do. He never put another race down. Our ppl need to do much better when it comes to ownership. It’s not like a few isolated cases it’s really the norm for everyone else to eat off our creations.
Lol, don’t be angry at Jws, be angry at the “Culture”. They know black people hate each other and would sell out each other for a check. The hate, jealousy, and negativity within black communities are displayed through hip hop and the “Culture”. Black communities and people are so divided that they can be conquered easily.
Well spoken!
Sad but true indeed. Goes all the way back to Africa, right up to right now.
It’s always black pple talking about race this race that.. like stuff and stop making everything about race smfh lol thats why yall stay down cuz everything about race lol
☝️💯
They had no problem with them owning their music when they saw all those zeroes on those fat cheques. Now it’s a problem? Form your own distribution companies and record labels and sign your own people. Cut the J’s out and own everything. Oh, but you won’t because that requires work and you’d rather complain than fix anything. Typical.
Exactly!!!…. I’ve been hearing this for years. Nobody, including Slim, has stepped up. Be about it. … I do believe that EVERY artist no matter their race should maintain ownership of their art
Actually, Slim Thug was always independent, so most of the money he made was from Him…sorta like Young Dolph
WTF is black music ? Music is not a color, its a fucking sound. And remember it was white kids from the suburbs that bought your music and made you famous. People from the hood wasnt buying no CDs in the 90s or 2000s, they was buying bootlegs in barber shops in flea markets for 5 bucks each. I should know, I sold them.
ALL music is black music goofy…
@CB 🤡
And its not even about race but these people clearly don’t have the interests of black people in mind., they took the opportunity and made a fortune off the talents of earlier rappers and invested in their own. They have to date taken away the artists freedom of expression with their social engineering which promotes highlights, glamorises negative stereotypes pushes and co-signs false narratives just to benefit themselves.
RIP Jerry Heller
You can its called going independent.. now stfu and stop trying to be all deep
I can’t imagine anyone wanting to own Slim Thugs music
