Okay I need to hear other people's opinions on this.

IP:

Okay in OMB's thread I said white people will sell more in rap because of their skin color. By this I didn't mean every white person will automatically sell more than black people, I just mean it's a positive effect on sales. It's not racist it just makes it's easier for people to connect if they look like them. And to repeat an already used analogy.. If me and "you" did a talent show at your house and I had 2 family members there, and you had 20, obviously you would win because there's more of your family members than mine. THIS ISNT RACIST, if it was the other way around black people would be like elvis. Am I racist for pointing this out? Ok I hate being a broken record, but my favorite rapper is white, my rap partner is white, I have no problem with any race doing any type of music. I didn't know I had to speak with so much detail. Black rappers sell more in black areas, and there's more white people in the world in america, so white rappers sell more. I didn't think I was wrong for this. I'm not being sacarstic. Ysdat got really pissed at me for this. I just REALLY need to know, honestly am I racist for this?

Wtf my stance on that still stands. All I did is elaborate on WHY a white person would sell more because of his skin color. Where did I say otherwise?

man, your tryna correct yourself,by making a entire difrent thread about this.

fact is you originally stated "whites will naturally make it further in rap than blacks"
Now your adding bits and peices onto your fucked up assumtion, why didnt you just admit you were wrong in the other thread?!
your e pride getting in the way.
you used to be a chilled cat, now your one of many ignorant fucks.

congrats!

The sheer number of black rappers outweighs the number of white rappers actually getting somewhere in the industry anyway..

How is this an issue...

its not racist no..... timeand i belive its proabably true...bu at the same time i don't see that many big time white acts though....eminem...and thats about it....eminem was big and and yes some of it was because he was white....but the biggest reason why he was so big was because he reached out to a wider audience of people who didn't normally listen to rap....mostly white teenagers growing up in the suberbs..and these kids was like..."woah look its one of US doing THAT kind of music..lets see what he got tos say" and with there being an overwhelming amount of young teenage white kids in the suburbs....he had success.......

plus, black rappers overall are more successful then white rappers in the mainstream.....i don't really see that changing all that much in the future either.....but its whtever

That's exactly what I'm saying. Your attributes determine your fans. And who has money? Suburban kids. Who buys most of the rap albums? Suburban kids. What race is the majority of the suburbs? Whites. What the fuck is so racist about that.

Eminems success is not just due to his skin color.

What you said was the biggest reason for his success was about him being white. And how he reached out to a wider audience because of it.

What you explained is HOW skin color affected his success, not that it didnt.
