i don't know many people that can truely say they can relate to being a gangsta, or relate to being opressed and discriminated against, or relate to pimpin dey hoes while they sport dey bling yo.
i know many, many, many people (mainly lebs and westie wiggers) that think they probably do. but they don't.
being able to understand or relate to rap seems to have nothing to do with whether its shit or not. its all about the music.
hehee...i absolutely agree with you!! I hate these try-hard, wannabe, hardcore teenage "gangstas" who believe if they dress, talk and act like an African American they are suddenly one! Wiggaz! This is the most funny...a decade ago in Australia, most whites would speak of rap in a derogatory manner calling the ethnics losers for listening to such music. The people felt racism then, that's why they could relate so well to the words of rappers...Where i've grown up, i've never had trouble with racism. In my time, come the intro of Eminem and suddenly rap is kewl?! I'm not a big fan of rap but there are some good songs. These commercial rappers? Obviously rap seems pathetic if you look at the humbug they now sell. Let’s not go there.
Kids who treat hip hop culture as cool, are lame! The truth that these rappers speak is scary. It's something done in hardships, the hardships faced in the real ghettos. Undoubtedly, there are the rappers who rap as though they have experienced a lot but really are in it for the money raked in through sales. Kids who wear high-priced G-Unit clothes walking around in the money their parents have provided are just sad. What hardships are they facing if they have the money to buy G-Unit? G-Unit clothing is not expensive, in fact you can get cheap imitations but I’m sure you get the jest of my words. NWA music is not cool or funny, it's real...
Music transcends all boundaries...this is very true. I love music essentially for the sound...but you can never dismiss deep words…Especially if you can genuinely relate to it....
NOTE: Did not mean to offend anyone through the use of wiggaz, whites or ethnics…Peace!
...juz jokin!
