Big Baby Gandhi Retires-Is Hip-Hop still Racist?

Postby RoleModel'Est96 » Jan 6th, '13, 15:03

Would really like to write an article on this but haven't got the time.

The New-York Emcee, Big Baby Gandi, posted on his tumblr that he has decided to retire at the age of 22 years old.

Mostly due to small recognition but another factor is he believe's that 'Indian rappers will never sell'

So what I want to know is, when you're checking out for new emcees, do you feel encouraged or discouraged to check them out due to their race, or perhaps race doesn't play a factor at all in finding to new music.

If anything, he could've used his Indian background to his advantage. I guess people weren't bothered about what he wanted to say. He should keep perservering.

Look at this guy, he looks like an Indian version of Tyler...of course no one gives a fuck about his music. I doubt he's bringing anything new to the table.

Sounds like the Indian Danny Brown, tbh- would've liked to see where he would've gone if he stuck with rap.

Well with a name like that, how could he ever go wrong?
