I meant it's unlikely that people will understand 'em and that'd be a reason they probably would not sell...I never said that has ANYTHING to do with their skill...I dont' know every Australian rapper...the one(s) I do know are lyrically sound, it's just really pretty difficult to understand and decypher their accents

Well I have to admit that is a little more understandable than your last post.. You told me in another thread to word my stuff better, take some of your own advice from time to time.

Couldnt agree more... And if my music does ever make it to the states and sells good, then thats only a plus on-top of what I want to achieve as an artist..

My style relates a lot more to indie american rappers rather than aussies though.. Like I said, I never fit any steriotypes.. I am an innovator when it comes to the music I produce. I go against the norms..

But what your missing is, that black people are still the minority in america...

You cant seriously expect the TV industry to be more full of black people than it already is cause in reality, a country with a majority of white people will always be more tailored towards white audiences...

Its just how things work... If america's majority was black people and white people still made up most of the media... THEN you'd have a sound argument...

yeah yeah, I just did it shorter then lol..I said the same thing, I never said

"all Australian rappers suck cuz I can't understand 'em" like Natural Killa and all them other idiots making threads about how much U.K. rappers suck simply because they don't understand what they're spittin' lol

Of course people would watch it like crazy... Just like people buy 50 cent's albums like crazy.

And there are plenty of shows with black main characters on major non-cable networks.

UPN is the main non-cable network that FUCKs with black shows...

American Idol is on FOX and there are not any black casted shows on there

and NOS, white people will be the minority in the next 5 years or so...besides that, white people are the ones in control of all the TV networks, even BET isn't owned by black people, but most black fools in my race don't even know

Love it or hate it... Nobody can change that...

and I would be stupid to think anything OTHER than that NOS...

but that still proves my point...

white people controlling shit no matter what

so if they don't want something to happen, it prolly won't

(First in, best dressed;))

nah white people ain't evil, I am just not fooled into believing what most of them want us to believe...and yeah I'm on this "white people this and that" kick right now, but I talk even worse about black people, don't even get me started on that shit though lmao

werd, I do a good job of it, jsut cuz I have certain opinions about white people in certain positions in our society doesn't mean I dislike all white people in general...I have no problem with any race cuz I don't have opinions on a race "in general" I just find racial humor and jokes to be completely hilarious :)
