alright here we go! this is a topic to stir up alot of debate!! 1st i want to say i'm white too, but heres how my best friend(who is black) for many years broke it down to me....segregation in the u.s. was only 40 years ago...which really isn't that long ago.. some people still have that mindframe that was passed down from the last generation(black and white)...todays white kids are growing up on hip hop, but don't know where it came from..for decades black people have invented things or did things that white people took credit for..its true! don't try to defend it..its a fact..so when SOME black people see a white dude rappin its offensive to them no matter how skilled they are. ..lables used to make so much money off of these older mc's and the mcs got tired of it and started to come out wit their independant lables so they can keep their money instead of the "whiteman" i don't make anything a color issue and my friends don't either, but to get through life (outside of rap) you have to understand BOTH sides and respect. it will change for the good with the next couple generations of mc's because it is starting to be accepted more..what do you think black people went through for hundreds of years...not being accepted.. except it was'nt music it was life. i know all of that was a long time ago, but the older generations tell their kids about what happened to them, how would you feel if your mom or g-ma was tellin you about how they got beat for skin color reasons. that would piss me off and there would be automatic negativity. i grew up as the ONLY whiteboy rappin around here over 10 years ago, and all i was compared to was vanilla ice-3rd base-or young black teenagers(who were all white-one guy was on HOUSE PARTY 2 with the dreads). so atleast this generation has SLIM SHADY. imagine how i had to prove myself..just stick wit it and keep eatin mc's..
