It's not white saviorish to think that "Hmmm. Maybe you determining that the rapper you don't like is getting away with minstrelsy because of their music videos being corny" as some sort of offering of empirical evidence is shitty.
I can't fucking stand anyone in Section/Smoke, I'm not going over every time there's a dumb novelty video they've made as something beneath them. That'd be like pointing to the old man suits in the "Shake a Leg" video as some sort of criminal damning of Roll Deep or look at the fucking "Rolex Sweep" as sycophantic.
You can at least scale it back to like, IDK, simply pointing out to the fact that the UK music industry's sensibilities to rap are still in the primordial ooze akin to the US in the 80s thanks to a combination of backwards comedic sensibilities and a grating need to force entertainers to become novelty acts to be digestible beyond the say, 100 Thousand people or so in their core demographic. Which is fucked and has been a glaring issue for the past 20 years or so, but for any person in the industry looking past that, there's 2 or 3 people coming up with an Ed Sheeran-type scam to get themselves Out of urban music to make money/be respectable.
