Origin
Over decades rap and hip hop music has always advertised the consumption of imported goods such as designer clothing and automobiles. For example the "Lamb" or the "Benzo". The last couple of weeks I have been listening to new released music and I notice alot of foreign referencing. Not just advertising the goods but slight way campaigning to maintain the "Pan African" thing. For example Kevin Gates states he is a Puerto Rican. I notice one of his songs he was focusing in on this topic. He states in his rap how he is rejected because of his nationality. Not just him rappers like Money Man and Sauce Walka also. I am noticing that most of these rappers, aka trappers are non fba. I brought this up because I know how influential music can be. I am just pointing out the timing of these references since FBAs are self distinguishing themselves. I dont have any problems with the artists I mentioned,I just noticed these things being a listener. Just a Random Thought.
