for the times I've prejudged a white person on this board. After reading alot of the threads and giving white people a chance, I realized theyre not bad like people make them out to be. I also realized that there are bad people in every race, so you cant hold a grudge against one race for their dumb people. Once again...I want to apologize.

Mayne...look at the black rappers out here. They aint making rap look good right about now. All they doing is putting on a fashion show. You got these white rappers who are you coming out now who are really hungry for this this shyt. Alot of these black rappers take the rap game for granted, while u got alot of white rappers who doing it for love. If you noticed too...alot of white rappers are lyrically talented because they take the time to make sure theyre talking about something...so my conclusion is that if white rappers are more hungry for this shyt then do it.
For one, Im not dissin black rappers. So dont even try to make it seem like I am. What Im saying is...mainly every rapper you see is stuntin and all that bullshyt. Now tell me Im lyin? Im a black rapper and I dont talk about flashy shyt in my raps...so whats your mothafuckin point?
White Devil...I dont know what the hell u talkin about but I made my comments because I had it on my mind. I realized how stupid it was to hold a grudge against a race of people because a few of their kind fucked over me.

Hustle so you're completely on the "black folks" car now? I know before you were talking about I'm so brave for crossing the line I have black friends, etc. So you fully identify or what?
Are you one of those contradicters who doesn't believe in racism yet wants white people to know their place in hip-hop culture?

I don't know what you're talking about but people who are PC tend to get on my nerves. Acting like color or race doesn't exist anymore is bullshit. It doesn't mean it has to stop progress, but I think acknowledging the fact that it exists is more important than trying to sweep it under the rug with a "music sees no color" statement. You're damn right it does see color...until white kids started listening and corporate America started embracing hip hop for financial gain, it was just ni**er music. Once white people take to something it starts becoming ok. Before that, it's unacceptable and scary.
You might call it bullshit, while others see it as the first step to true equality. As long as you emphasise color barriers everything will always be devided.
1. Black people are embracing hip hop for financial gain just as much, if not more than any "WHITE" person in this country.
2. What made hip hop "NIGGER MUSIC" in the first place was white people who were unwilling to accept such a culture into their society. Nothing has changed, these same class of white people still look down on it. It's just that the new age style of rap & hip hop is appealing to a much larger crowd (of kids) where it wasn't before. These kids never thought of it as "NIGGER MUSIC" they just didn't like it, and there is nothing wrong with that. You can't possibly be upset that corporate America has turned gold hip hop albums into quintuple platinum albums.
3. When white people grab ahold of something, it becomes "OK" by who's standards? Teachers, parents, upperclass white people are all still looking down on this culture. Who is it "OK" with now, that it wasn't "OK" with earlier? If your saying white kids, then I'll ask you to show me how it wasn't "OK" with them in the first place.
4. When something appeals to "WHITE" kids it's always going to seem like it's acceptable because look at the number of white kids in America. If they made up for 10% of the country, we would not be having this coversation, but it's almost as if your blaming white people for being so highly populated.
My point is that the same people who thought this was "NIGGER MUSIC" to begin with , still do (white upperclassman, etc.), but white suburban kids were never in this catagory. The music just never appealed to them, and now it does so the shit is flying off the shelves because of the white population in America. What is so bad about hip hop appealing to the white masses. Black people should be smiling not complaining about it like you are.

unacceptable and scary to whom. adults or the youth? because the youth have always gone with what is considered socially unexeptable. Its not like as soon as white teenagers saw eminem that they thought it was OK to listen to rap, because they have been listening to it since its conception. Its not like they really give a fuck about what society says is OK. Society was dead against heavy metal untill it got a few mainstreem acts embracing it. In that case being white had nothing to do with it. Not saying that race plays no part, cuz it does, but its not always the 100% reason for everything.
