hardcore's got it a bit twisted... sure it's cool to be inspired by the music, but that doesn't mean that iconic role models arent' important...

hip hop and rap was founded on the ideals that young black americans could do somthing powerful and creative... and those young black americans saw what was possible and the culture grew...

if i saw an asian rapper and was inspired by the image of the oriental then am i not doin the same thing...

p.s. i got into rap through beatboxin after i saw a rahzel show...
