Are you for real? Do you realize that you are in a sampler related forum? Hint: Sampler is the key word.
IMO Culture is not stolen, it is absorbed. Culture influences, it does not go anywhere. If you go to Japan for instance and live there for a period of time, or you listen to japanese music, or read japanese books etc... You like it or not would be influenced by their culture, and if you are an artist, you would be infusing their culture in yours, like it or not. That is not stealing. So please, stop the gatekeeping xenophobic coments. Is it not his right not to know or not like Jermaine Dupri? In which ways it is affecting you? Why are you policing the forum determining which comments are valid or not? 
EDIT: It can be also possible that he is doing brostep with his MPC...did you think that?
I know this is a sampler forum & I guess your saying everybody is stealing other people's music, but like you said he may make brostep, so why point out that I made a blind assumption (which I didn't - I never said he personally stole anything, I don't know him or the music he makes) then start your point by making a blind assumption? It's possible some people don't use other peoples music to feed their samplers...did you think of that? If that's even the point you trying to make if not correct me or be more clear next.
Are you for real by thinking cultural styles can't be stolen as well as be influenced by other cultures? It can stolen by "absorbing" something then remaking it in their but then not acknowledge the the original makers. I don't know you but if your not black American you may not understand where I'm coming from & that's OK. With sample culture in Hip-Hop we all know its other's ppl music even if we don't know the sample. No beat maker was acting like they invented soul, funk, blues, rock..etc.
What I meant about Japan stealing from black culture was more like; trying playing Lofi-Girl Hip-Hop fans original/classic Lofi Hip-Hop & most of the young ones will tell you that's not real Lofi HH
The Lofi HH reddit sub looks so much like some Asian anime site that you wouldn't think black people had anything to do with creation of it Lofi HH & if you post non-Lofi-girl HH you might get down voted because of that, even if your beat is fire. I still love anime which is strange if I'm xenophobic
but damn they over do that shi* so much that when most ppl think Lofi HH they think Asian cartoons which hardly if ever have black ppl & if so, it's mostly some racist shi*t. (Whole another topic)
How I'm xenophobic I never said anything hateful about Japan. Stating that many (not all) Japanese ppl dislike black people or outsiders isn't xenophobic it's a fact that Japan has a high level xenophobia. Which is biting them in the ass right now (Low birth rates, too many old people & not enough immigrants). But I've seen YT videos of US blacks in Japan & know the racism there isn't on the same level as here in the USA.
By asking me something that already answered shows that you didn't fully read or comprehend my comments. I said I'm not even a big JD fan, but why hate on him like that on a music forum...Read my earlier post again.
This question is key, How come you didn't have a problem with the hateful statement he said if your so concern about hate speech????
If he didn't know about him which is his right, why did he come out his mouth like that? It's my right to ask or is that not OK Mr. Officer?
My comments wasn't for you but your defending him like a forum cop which is cool but be a fair cop. At least point out we both were "xenophobic". But you you didn't why? Is only ok to say "who the Fuc* is some black artist" but not talk about Japan? That's what it looks like. You may be xenophobic & don't know it, but its showing.
Why are you policing the forum determining which comments are valid or not?
What's your definition of "gatekeeping"?
