Also, I could easily come up on the forum and talk about all the great shit that I think I accomplish, but thats sort of a lame thing to do.

Whoa... Maybe my friend you better read up a tad bit more becasue Hip Hop back in the days was not just for the black community it was also for the HISPANIC community as well as ANYONE living in the Ghetto.... Plus you do remember such groups as 3rd Base and Beastie Boys right? So this whole RAP IS BLACK bullshit is exactly that... bullshit... It was just WIDELY adopted by the black community. NOW, Hip Hop knows no color.. Your either skilled or not....

Here's a link describing my point...

The reference of "You wouldn't walk down my street at night" is what really set me off.

I'd flash my money in public, but I'd be smart about where I do.

There is next to know prejudice these days. Black people can get literally any high level job they want if they put the work in. I had a back and forth with someone on this website once that black people are stuck in the hood and don't get the opportunities that white people do. That person obviously had the internet. Why don't they study the fuck out of their subjects using the internet, kick ass on their exams, and then, like the white kids who get exceptional marks, get scholarships into college? If not that, then why don't they focus on sports and turn out like so many of the NBA, NFL etc? Instead of complaining all the time.

I am quite racist, but if I'm right I might have posted that in retort to like Mindless or something. Lmfao at this is a way for white people to steal a black art form of music. Hilarious. [ACCENT="Country"]Alright, well, if any of them niggers play them some country western or make a pop song, I'm gunnah lynch me some coons[/ACCENT]. Britney Spears was doing what Jason Derullo and Usher are doing years ago. Those genre stealing bastards! How the FUCK is white people rapping a "problem"?

^^^ THis is RACISM ^^^ Country comes from blues dumbass EtH.

@InCizion You're totally right hispanics, particularly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans had a very large role in the roots of hip hop starting in the South Bronx… yeah I got ya, my bad for the omissions. And yes Jews and others were involved a bit later than that as well.

Yet, about 70% of recorded hip hop record sales are to white male teenagers? Look it up, its been published even in academic articles. I'm not saying it has to do with color, but it certainly has to do with Civil Rights an inequality between classes and races…

so wtf? How does it help to come up and brag about money when some people don't have enough?

I am saying the problem is unconscious rap that believes that race is not part of hip hop, because it is… DIRECTED at EtH-> You think you're hardcore because you listen to gangster rap? Some people live the gimmick that others fake… and from what I can tell, living it isn't easy…. and certainly not worth rapping about unless you're in it for money, so fuck gangster rap… its garbage being sold to garbage.

If you're into reading about this @InCizion then I also suggest the book , "Cant Stop Won't Stop." by Jeff Chang

y'all a bunch of puppets

I enjoy gangster rap so I listen to gangster rap. What's the problem?

You are being exploited and in the process exploiting others, but thats only a problem if you consider it one.

It's just a matter of opinion I guess... just like the GOP vs. Liberals... we each have our views for our reasons... RESPECT given though... I don't have to fully agree with you to respect you....

I love and hate everyone equally... I think there are stereotypical views of each race that is TRUE!.... But as long as people realize that this world would be nothing without each race... Each race adds a touch of flavor to our everyday lives it's very importnat here in the United States.. even though it seems the conservative party here are filled with racists in general (but not all).....

Square dance back in the days is basically rap with a white twang within it.....lol...

Lmao at I'm being exploited. Pulse, another conversation you'd fit right into over here!

For fun, heres a record that says that battle rap started in Scotland

SUCK IT… @EtH … if you wanna go back… go all the way back and say Greeks invented it..

Hilary Mackie has detected in the Iliad a consistent differentiation between representations in Greek of Achaean and Trojan speech,[7] where Achaeans repeatedly engage in public, ritualized abuse: "Achaeans are proficient at blame, while Trojans perform praise poetry."[8]
Taunting songs are part of many cultures such as Inuit civilization. Flyting also existed in Arabic poetry in a popular form called naqa'id, as well as the competitive verses of Japanese Haikai.
