I have no problem with white rappers, and there were tons of them in the closet. YES, Eminem set them free, and made it alright and possible to even be looked at as a white rapper. Before that they was clownin y’all with that “I’m kinda fly to be a white guy” song. If you are tight then you tight, I don’t care. But there is one thing that gets me heated. People with no respect for the culture. A lot of white dudes, dip into this culture take what they want, all the while disrespecting everything it’s about…expression. See that’s why a lot of white folks can’t dance, or make it in rap. Cause rather than coming from the soul, y’all come from the brain. You’ve made names to the certain components of a good rap (ie multi’s, punches, personals). You have 1-2 step guides on dances. So you put something together, and it sucks, it’s because it has no soul. You’re just going through the motions. “If it feels good then it is good”-Miles Davis
Why do you think everybody is feeling Missy, and other low lyrical artists, cause their shit feels good, and is fun to sing and dance to. WHY DO YOU THINK GANGSTER RAP IS STILL HERE? It will be here as long as we have gangsters. You can’t relate because you don’t get down like that, but it’s cool, just don’t hate on something you don’t know about. You think niggaz out here killin each other cause they tuff…huh you don’t know the half….

Hip-Hop, was formed through poor black culture, through Graffiti, Rapping, Dancing, DJing. Now throughout the years hip-hop has grown into incredible heights. You see it in every thing, from commercials to clothes, to TV shows. But the roots are in the poor ghetto…the people who created this expression... to take their minds off of daily oppression. It’s disrespect to take from that culture and not give anything back, and it actually makes US feel that you clownin us. We set trends, styles, slang, not cause we want to, it’s our culture, it’s because the result of other things. For example: People walk around with their pants saggin. Do you think one day somebody was like “hey I think it’ll be cool to wear my pants like this”. No, that shit came from niggas getting’ locked up, and whoever’s been locked up before, knows they take your shoestrings and belts. So yeah your pant’s sag. Or maybe you couldn’t afford to buy a belt, maybe you have to share your pant’s with your older brother. Maybe his extra large t-shirt is baggy on you.
So you see, so when we see white guy “acting black”, it’s like a slap in the face to us. Here we are struggling with prejudice, doing illegal shit to survive; and here you come mocking us, and not doing it right. It fuckin burns me up, that a white person would forsake his privileges, his opportunities to act like something he’s not. But they don’t, and that’s my problem. They do their thing, until moms shows up, cause they don’t approve of him acting “foolish”.
This is not a game, or something to just pass the time for a lot of us on here. I think everybody should rap if their serious, man I like this site. A lot of these text cat’s need to open their eyes.

I mean how would a Jewish person feel, if you came in rockin’ a yamica, talking about havin a barmitzfa tonight at the crib, and they ain’t even Jewish!

this is mad late but i just saw this. man this sums up my feelings exactly and i just had to let it be known. yall need to print this out and tape it to your computer screen and read this shit everytime u go online to write a text poem about bein a thug.

and word about the clothing man. your first day in jail all the cool lookin little styles that kids try to mock all make sense.
