You literally cannot speak on something like this in terms of a majority rule, because it's too dynamic in 2017. Sure. A white emcee has probably made it big or signed a really good deal with a significant portion of the reasoning being his skin color, but to act like that's bad or that black emcees haven't/aren't doing this very thing is incredibly short sighted & naive.
So yeah, legitimately every human is either privileged or at a disadvantage in any given situation due to their surface level attributes, be it how strong you are when a car is laying on top of you or if you're a white guy standing in front of an executive who REALLY likes white guys.
Beyond that, though. The idea that a black-centric artform that retains the self-awareness of their own previous majority oppression holds a trap card that if you're pasty then you've got these bolstered attributes is as hilarious as it is ridiculous to me.
