I recognise and respect it as a black art form, and it will always remain a black art form. But that's not to say that only black people can practise it - that would be stupid. If the world worked on "what blacks are allowed to do" or "what whites are allowed to do", no one would have racial justice beyond the stereotypes that were associated with them all through their existence. Hip-hop is universal; it is about expressing your emotions, making good music, and bringing joy to fans. Not about how your colour influences on what you can and cannot say. True hip-hop fans will respect any music in hip-hop, as long as it's good. And everyone who thinks about human nature will realize that we are all the same; and we all make mistakes in our youth and during anger. The only way to move on is to forgive and forget, before any real damage is done. And Eminem has not caused any damage at all.

Let me clear somthing up, when I said hip-hop is black music I didn't say becasue of that whites can't participate at all, or they are not ALLOWED to. I said if you dope wit it do your thang regardless, shit Emenim WAS one of my favorite emcees, I think he has one of the best flows in the HISTORY of the game, no joke. SHit I'm in the studio working on song for my album right now and I got a white producer on some of my tracks, its a white cat I'm coo wit in my class, he likes his Def-Jux and Atmostphere, I like my Jay-Z and Ludacris., but we cool though talk, debate, he put me up on stuff, I put him up on stuff. But he's not trying to be something he's not. He's not a 'wigger', He don't wear no Sean John and Rocawear, he be waering Gap and Amstimber & Fitch (SP?) He'll tell you stright up in a jokingly matter, "Man, I listen to white boy rap shit". But we respect each other becuase at the end of the day it's still all hip-hop, and he respects the game, he understand why he can't go around saying "nigga, whats up"..just cuz he's thinks he's hip-hop or "down".
And you give an example of other whites rappers, the only one stupid enough to say nigga was Necro, and I seen an interview the other day where he's crying about how black poeple don't buy his music.....hmmm Necro wonder why....I can go and find the link to were Aseop Rock says the EXACT thing I been trying to say all this time in less words. He siad "The Afrocentricity of hip-hop is always gonna be there becasue it was created by black people". I'm not saying whites, chinese, native american, mexican whoever can't be in it, just know you are an outsider. |
