I mean, I'd find it hard to say he's not, at all, an entertainer?
Like, I feel most people know him from seeing performances of him. He, essentially, performs the role of hypeman, a lot of times.
I certainly wouldn't disagree he also acts as a business man but I think he does a lot of entertainment-related work, as well.
He’s also a Palestinian immigrant who built his entire fortune from nothing. And you’re getting downvotes for pointing out the very real common refrains used against many entertainers of color. Everyone freaked the fuck out because Beyoncé put on a cowboy hat for chrissake.
It’s almost like all the most ignorant hivemind elements of Reddit just moved over to lemmy.world - glad they’re mostly confined to one instance at least.
For real; I hope it's mostly just one instance. I haven't been paying attention to instances but it feels shockingly widespread on Lemmy (but, given lemmy.world's size, it could just be that).
Thanks for backing me up and keeping me from feeling crazy.
You're definitely reaching to try and make this a race thing.
Ah; I thought you were approaching and conversing in good faith. My mistake.
If you're unfamiliar with the tone policing of "not following proper decorum" (and that's exactly what "he doesn't need to be shouting his name on every song" is; it's not a debate about whether he can: it's an assertion that that's not an appropriate way to behave for the setting), then you should probably familiarize yourself.
But, as a person with lived racial experience, I am very much not reaching.
Ah yes, race-baiting is so good faith.
Fuck off with that holier-than-thou bullshit.
Go back, re-read the discussion, and do better.
You're talking about a black art form, with DJ Khaled doing what every hypeman in the history of the genre has done since its inception; there is no context where saying he's being inappropriate in what he's doing is not racial.
I promise you, your appeals to "race-baiting" (of all things) as a justification of what's going on are not putting you on the political side of the spectrum you usually associate yourself with.
I doubt this will be sufficient to not sound like anything I've said before but I sincerely and genuinely believe you lack context which you aren't willing to hear.
Which, for perspective, what's "going on" in this context is one comment that you've decided twist and laserfocus on so you can grandstand.
I beg you, re-read the thread and see where you got lost.
