I can respect Justin Beiber ... dude makes hella money more than I do. See I don't like Justin Beiber's music one bit ... but who is the judge when it comes to what is good music? Am I the one that should judge? How about the rest of siccness? I don't like it but millions of others do ... doesn't that make it good? I don't know. to some I guess. It's hella subjective, right?
I learned it's dumb to hate on this shit cuz it's going to happen anyways. I don't care anymore. I can hate on Bieber, Macklemore, whoever but at the end of the day they are taking more to the bank then I am. If I was able to sing and dance and make the same music and bring out the same profits I'd do it. so who am I to judge and say "oh he's wack, he's gay, he's this, he's that" I'll either listen or not - that's how I'll do. I can't say they have zero talent, cuz if they obviously talented in that they can make ppl dance/buy their music.
Also on the whole white rapper thing and if they should participate in the culture of hiphop let me remind you of a white rapper I know that touched the hearts of many on this site. His name was Mac Jesus. He's dead now. I respect him even tho he didn't get too famous. At least he made good music tho, in my opinion at least. Maybe not maintstream opinions. But like I said do it really matter tho.
