Hip Hop Has a Culture Vulture Problem

from Olay & Friends · host Olayemi Olurin

This week on Olay & Friends, we dig into hip-hop’s culture-vulture problem — and the way people like Adam22, DJ Vlad, and Trap Lore Ross have built entire platforms off Black pain, Black stories, and Black creativity without being accountable to the culture they profit from. We break down how these outsiders position themselves as historians or journalists while exploiting violence, stirring controversy, and monetizing trauma.
